The Bates Family Legacy [5.2]
Okay I'm super exhausted so there will be no preamble commentary. Let's get to the goods!
I was surfing the family tree while I was bored, and happened to click on Matthew's icon since he's linked to Ariel. He has a kid and a brother! The kid only happened in my game - it was a lovechild with a woman named Marina Prattle - but the brother's interesting. He's a bouncer at a night club.
The more you know!
Anyway, Rhys decided to throw a bachelor party before getting hitched! Kill me now.
On the guest list were a bevy of beautiful women: Diana Jones...
Renee Littler...
Jun Xu (a very large-breasted woman, might I add)...
Katrina Pala and a newly grown up Hanna Smyth
...and Matilda Smart.
Oh, and his parents were invited. They chose to stay in their bedroom and mack on each other in ridiculous costumes instead.
DAMN IT, TERRY, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FIND YOU CUTE IN SUCH A RIDICULOUS COSTUME.
I can't help it. Even with a silly looking ensemble I still wanna love on him.
Meanwhile Peyton, super-cool fiancee that she is, stuck around for the party and just jammed on the dance floor.
JUN XU: "Rhys asked me to toast him tonight, so here goes. Can't believe you're getting married, Rhys! Or, at least, I can't believe it's not to me. You big foot, you! Just kidding! Ha...ha?"
I LOVE PARTY DANCERS.
JUN XU: "IF YOU WON'T MARRY ME I'LL SOAK YOU IN NECTAR!"
COLLECTIVE ALL: "Diana's here. Diana's so pretty. Diana's the center of the world. We love Diana. We looooooooove Diana."
Keep in mind the fact that the Party Dancer said that Rhys's party was rocking. Just remember that.
Oh, and after the party I switched Rhys's LTW to something more fitting, since he'd never actually be able to date ten girls now that he was getting married.
This is more doable.
So despite the fact that his party was apparently decent, he got bad reviews all around and considered himself a "groomzilla." Poor Rhys.
I love that Charlotte got to keep her vespa! :D
Why are you all so stupid? Don't you know how to enter a building two or three at a time?
Evidently these people have never lived in Toronto.
Wait a minute there.
Hellooooooo, handsome. ;D
No matter how you look at it, though, Josh is always going to be more attractive. <3
OMG HI KAI!
Kai was, for those of you who don't know, the founder's first spouse in my failed Barros legacy. He fathered one child before dying in a fire in the garage. I like to keep tabs on him when I'm playing Bridgeport in other games. He lives longer in other games.
Speaking of familiar faces, hello Olive!
Olive Kipling married a guy I created named Dex in a game that I never showed pictures of online. She has the cutest face...
...And the world's BIGGEST BOOBS EVER.
Okay, who hired the clown?
It just occurred to me that, barring their face and boob-size, Peyton and Charlotte look like mirror images of each other.
I really need to individualize my hairstyle choices. I get stuck on one I like and use it on every single sim.
Speaking of Charlotte, she's the fastest learning sim ever! She's almost finished maxing her writing skill and she's barely been in the family three days!
Aww, good for you Hadley. You go, Hadley!
PEYTON: "YAAAAAAY, CLEAN LAUNDRY!"
This girl literally cheers at everything. I think she's set on some weird automatic loop to cheer when she's not doing anything else. And she doesn't even have the excitable trait!
Weirdo.
Meanwhile...
PAPARAZZI: "WOOOOOOOOOOO, I'M STALKING CELEBRITIES! WOOOOOOOOOO!"
OMG MY FIRST LAUNDRY GNOME!
It's not really the family's first gnome - we collected quite a few in generation two, but I forgot to put them in someone's inventory when I had to move neighbourhoods so I lost them all. However, this is the first ever laundry gnome I've had in my game.
PEYTON: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, WEDDING!"
Aww! :) Look at my Reyton. I love them.
And all of Generation Five has been officially married off.
(Naturally, Ariel immediately rolled up a wish for another grandchild. And Terry rolled up a wish for another child. DO THE TWO OF THEM HAVE DEATH WISHES?)
RHYS: "And then I'm gonna..."
CHARLOTTE: "Not to interrupt a very vivid discussion, but I've actually been sitting here the whole time."
Awkward...
Anyway, after Rhys and Peyton consummated their marriage (Charlotte kindly left the room), I decided it was time for them to get their own place. This is their new house. Whaddya think?
(In case you're wondering, the stairs were my contribution. The landscape in Bridgeport is a real bitch to work with.)
Wait - WHAT?
Well, I guess congratulations are in order!
(Although, really, Hadley's a bit old to be having another child. She's the same age as Nora, who's a little more than ten days away from becoming an elder. But this should be interesting all the same.)
And, after a long delay, I finally got Josh and Charlotte started on generation six.
It was a difficult process. They woohooed in the bed, in the shower, in the hot tub I threw in the garage for necessity's sake, and I didn't hear a goddamned lullaby. I was starting to think they were infertile when...
Well, that's where I'll leave you for now! It's been fun. :)
