Moar Procrastination!
Here's a Sims update. It's not a great one. But some things happened, and it has colorful pictures to look at. XD The commentary is especially rambly and inane this time around.
Last time, I was so taken with Vork's dollface and Codex' win that I couldn't decide who to pick, and made my very first heir poll ... which then resulted in a tie. XD (Thank you for voting, though!) And keksdiebin posted this: “I would not split them up. Vork can have pretty alien!vampire!biracial kids with Ellen and Codex can be their creepy but awesome aunt ^-^!”
And that's exactly what happened. :D
I plopped them all into a new lot, which is now populated by the leader of a cult, an extraterrestial, two creatures of the night, and soon ... magic!
I'm pretty sure the family is on some SCIA-watchlist by now.
There's Stella and Albee, sneaking around for "gardening", which might be code for some sort of kinky roleplay activity, since they are still very much into each other.
Sadly, I couldn't include Fenix and Bela (you will see them, though!), because I needed to leave room for kids. This is NOT AT ALL another ploy to artificially expand their life spans. Nooo. >.>
Nevertheless, with Albee and Stella getting old, I knew it'd soon be time for my first "natural" Sim death, and I have to say ... I was kinda excited? I murdered my fair share of Sims with the good ole pool ladder removal or burning pop tart, but I never had one die of old age before. I know, it's morbid. But I was really curious about it.
Little did I know ... (but more on that later.)
Vork brought Ellen with him. Another spouse for me to completey ignore! And as per that tradition I invented by doing it on accident, he took her last name and he's Vork Kosmokos now. Which is not a bad name at all for a rock star!
They have their share of miscommunications, like every couple where one half is an immortal half-bat.
But they also do supernatural romance novel-type shit like this, so all is well. :)
Speaking of supernatural romance, Codex keeps dating outside her species as well, succeeding in my her goal to become an alienvampirewitch!
Yeaaah that outfit has to go.
That's better!
Meanwhile, Albee is still cult leader, and takes this sweet ride to work every day.
I don't want to flatter myself, but I am pretty sure that this'll be the cover of Vork's next album. It will be titled "Run, Don't Walk (You Idiot)".
Alienvampirewitch Codex is gorgeous, is all I'm saying.
And with her newfound powers, she can summon her lovers whenever she pleases!
She also still has that thing for old dudes, apparently.
She gives them makeovers to make them more fashionable to date.
This is Codex' mildly terrifying dog, Boadicea. Her LTW is to have six pets reach the top of their careers, so she spends all night training her, whenever she is not dating her mortal playthings all over the place. It doesn't really matter though, because she went perma-platinum a while ago.
Babies! Vork's first son, Virgil.
He grows up cute, even though he is more or less Vork 2.0.
Okay, he grows up pretty freaking cute.
By the way, was anyone wondering if Codex is a good aunt? She is. At least if you really love being dipped into the bathtub every 5 minutes. That's all she does with the toddlers. Bathe them. Over and over. I still have a lot full of neat Sims.
Evidence? Codex, being the cradle snatcher HBIC she is, bought herself a blind date and ended up with Eric and Tito's twink teenage son, Klaus. Which was ... unfortunate, since I have no romantic interactions between adults and teens in my game. XD However, it didn't matter because ...
Codex became SUPER FOCUSED on making allll the beds during their date. I tried to cancel it so she'd interact with Klaus, but clearly keeping the house in order is more important. Klaus, in the background, feels unpopular.
Vork and Ellen have another son, Salem. Albee, ever the A++ Family Sim, experiences rage at holding his grandchild.
I like how he looks.
This is their possessed kitten, Belphegor. Okay, you have to admit that this is creepy, but also a little awesome! Which brings me to: Glitch Report!
I had Tito and Eric over, and this happened. I was wondering WTF the computer was doing up there on the wall, when it turned out ...
That it wasn't stuck on the wall at all. My Tito Sim freaks me right the fuck out, by the way. I remember I was going for some kind of large-dark-eyes-pale-complexion-lost-child-look with him, but whenever I see him he just reminds me of this, and it’s freaky.
And he’s a glitch magnet. If this was a story by Ray Bradbury, he'd be cursed.
Exhibit A.
Oh, so it's not only happening to him. All right then.
While we're on the topic of my game imploding, I present Vork's and Ellen's third (and final) son, Nero. Here he can be seen plotting with Stella to run away to the circus.
In other news, the twins are still close! Codex even gave Vork a special gift, so he could sleep in the same bed with his wife for once.
Yes, Green!Vork will be back!
Vork: It burnssssss!
Virgil grows into a teen and remains adorbs, even though he somehow spontaneously grew a pair of eyes.
See? Child!Virgil.
Teen!Virgil. Okay then. >.>
Virgil goes on his first date, and WTF IS IT WITH THE ADULT/TEEN COMBOS, CRYSTAL BALL? Hilariously, this is a girl that Codex went out with in college. I'm guessing the Monsters, Inc dating pool is not that big. Anyway, while this was happening, I suddenly got this pop-up, and was devastated.
This can't ... can it be? Nooooo!
I MISSED IT!
My first real legacy death, and I missed it! And Stella was platinum, so there were probably hula dancers and cocktails and everything. D:
While I was grieving the missed screenshot opportunity, everyone else was grieving Stella.
Hard.
D'awww, a widowed Albee. ;__;
Codex: Crap. I was going to have sex in here.
Yep. Still turnin' tricks heads.
After his first date was cut short by his grandmother dying, Virgil took a second shot at romance with Monika, Tito's and Eric's more age-appropriate daughter. And now we get into why Virgil should not date, ever.
Because look what happens when he does. Again.
Anyway, as I was getting ready for the hula dancers, THIS occurred.
OMGYAY?
Albee, you are a BAMF.
I will never question you and your dorkiness again <3
This is Nero as a child. He's cute, but also a little boring. Unfortunately, the three boys are all really similar in personality (as in, they have nearly the same personality as their dad AND granddad). So everyone is nice and neat and shy, it's insufferable. I love evil Sims! How did I end up with this?
And more importantly: what IS it with Death and dates and/or birthdays?! Looks who's back! And...
Albee: Sucker! >:D
Grim: Grrmblrrrghihatethishouse.
OMG. I didn't even know Sims could read kids to sleep! That's so cute!
And by the way, Salem is going to be heir. Since the boys don't really differ in personalities, I went by looks, and I've had a green heir before. Plus, I can never resist a dark eyes/dark hair/pale skin combo. :D
So Virgil and Nero were sent on their way. Oh, and Virgil somehow wohooed Teen!Monica in his parents' bed, because I have ACR (Autonomous Casual Romance) now. It was way too creepy to take pictures of. XD
ACR also gets me a lot of this. Tbh I only uploaded this picture because I wanted to post a nude shot and slap something ridiculous on the naughty parts.
Salem’s birthday! He is enormously cute, and he rolled Knowledge, which is my very favorite. However, he did not even get to be the center of attention on his birthday. Because ...
Yeah. These two are at it again.
Albee: And what do we say to the God of Death?
Albee: NOT TODAY.
Okay seriously, get a room, you two. No wonder people are flocking to Albee's cult. He's friggin' immortal.
I wish I had more material to space out the epic will-they-won't-they of Grim and Albee, but it happened so frequently that I don't. XD So here's a random shot of Salem. <3
Grim: Soooo...
Albee: Soooo...
*Final Countdown starts playing*
Nope.
Really Albee, at this point you're just fucking with him, right?
Anyway, with Stella gone and Virgil and Nero venturing into adulthood, I could FINALLY move everyone else back into the main lot, and have Fenix and Bela back! <3 Bela decided to set the kitchen on fire in celebration.
But as soon as everyone had settled in ...
I had a feeling right away that this one was going to go differently.
Zombie hula chicks, you guys! I’ve never seen zombie hula chicks in my game before!
Grim: Look, dude, I can't keep coming back here every day. All the other Reapers are laughing at me. Nobody will sit next to me in the Reaper cafeteria...
Albee: Awww, okay. I'll sit with you.
Bye, Albee! Good show, old chap.
Fenix: That was weird. So who's up for a drink? :) :) :)
<3 this Sim.
I realize it's horrible I basically made Fenix' and Bela's son die before them. But I'm not ready yet, you guys. I'm not ready. D:
I've given up on heir paintings because they kept breaking in my game, so here's my photobooth heir wall! There's Albee's and Stella's urns next to each other. Sniffle.
The house is very much haunted now. Bela is a Knowledge Sim and he LOVES it.
Bela: 'sup?
Sometimes, Ghost!Justus (who was modelled after my own, very much alive cat) comes out to commemorate how rad being alive was. I love him. Even though the pet ghosts somehow look creepier than the Sim ghosts.
The possessed kitty grew up and isn't as possessed anymore. I just liked this picture. ^^;
Ellen (remember her?) wants to become a modern major general, so here she is climbing the ladder as an ... EA space pilot?
Vorks loves being out in the sun again, and he loves his lady in a space suit. Salem loves seeing his parents make out as much as every other teen loves seeing his parents make out.
He and his aunt Codex are besties! Even though it seems like a weird, sad activity for a teenage boy to cheer your grown aunt as she plays Granturismo.
However, their bond might come in handy later, since Salem is very interested in his aunt's magical activities.
Salem: Could this ... could this be for me? Could this be the path I choose in order to develop my own personality?
Salem: Arghblarghl maybe not!
By the way, these two: still cute. They follow each other around all day, discussing important matters. Like spatula.
I'm calling it now: these two are SO going to college together.
ILU KLAUS
Oh, look who else does. Salem, I'm surprised.
Curious.
At least Klaus knows how to correctly interpret the attraction chart. Aw man, Salem. And it was his first romantic interaction ever, too.
Elsewhere, Ellen is growing into an elder like a pro.
And…that’s all I got for now. I’ll post more, but in the meantime, I really need to figure out what to do with the rooming problem in this family. XD I desperately need some of them to die so there’s room for the next generation (Gen 5!), but on the other hand, I really don’t wanna. D: I also don’t want to get one of those “more than 8 Sims” hacks, because … seriously, with 8 Sims I’m already approaching a fishtank situation where everyone just basically does what they want and I just look on. XD Though, that can be fun too. Anyway, thank you for reading. :)
Oh, and here's a link to allll the parts to keep it organized!
