A few shots that didn't make it in to the chapter, or amusing things that were going on autonomously, plus Seth and Rodney would demand more coverage than being in 2 and 3 slides respectively. Since they were being quite entertaining, they get indulged.
First off, main house cuteness.
To be honest, since they only have one bolt, I never tend to think of Mia and Juan as that strong a couple on their own when Juan isn't fending off the villains, but they really are very sweet when left on free will.
Er... eh-heh, yeah... Well, at least they have a good and active love-life? Might just be better if it wasn't on the sofa... >.< At least they're wearing some clothes too...
These two are frigging adorable too. Oh Jose <3 - He may be overly verile to be getting his wife consistently pregnant like this, but he's so shy and cute ^_^
And then there's Huey! ~ 10 neat points = autonomous and happy cleaning :D We love him already (as does his constantly pregnant mother, the cause of 99% of the dirty toilets in the house)
And Huey and Elliot decided to play some basketball after the lecture and 'self-defence' scene. Much adorableness was had.
We also discovered why exactly the Rymans have yet to ever have a TV. They just and watched it, not gaining any skills or anything, for hours. We were unimpressed *cracks skilling whip*
And now on to Liv's house...
Where, oddly enough, this was the very first thing that happened after they moved in (Rodney isn't canonically living there, but for the purposes of scene staging, he is in the staging neighbourhood), as the Jalowitz' super-awesome-mega house (built by Orikes) has a music room (amongst other things you'll see later). Maybe Rodney would like to demonstrate that he would rather sing karaoke than bare his innermost secrets to Seth. Too late for that.
Back outside, Seth was socialising with an adult version of his grandson (who we needed to get the non-adult version of Dwayne). You can see a few similarities, especially the nose! Seth is proud, but disapproves of the lack of a fauxhawk.
Meanwhile Liv played bass, Winston played guitar, and Rodney let Seth take over the karaoke so they could play instruments and sing things more appropriate to their personalities. Despite nearly the whole family jamming, we do not foresee them becoming a band. Unless it is one of the most dysfunctional bands ever.
"Strike!"
"Woo! Go Grandpa Seth!"
Yeah. They have a bowling alley in their basement. Just in case you didn't realise that they were rich. Has Rodney shown that off enough yet?
Well, Seth knows how to show off too, strikes or no strikes...
"I do not know who this 'fanseelamb' is, but I like her style!"
And thus the exhibitionism began and spread like wildfire...
"For f---'s sake, Seth, would you put some goddamn clothes on?!"
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... no."
"I'm so glad I do not have to canonically live here."
"Sooooo, lost twice in a row now Rodney!"
"You just got lucky..."
"Or is my handsomeness distracting you?"
"It is difficult to concentrate over the urge to gouge your own eyes out."
So they switched to poker instead (love the faces they pull too)...
"That's a very small stack of chips you have there Rodney."
"Shut up."
"Is it because, when we're sat like this, you could totally imagine I'm not wearing anything at all?"
"Oh, for the love of god, SHUT UP."
Winston then came and joined them.
"Oh, for fu- Is there something about your family that makes you allergic to wearing clothes?!"
"Yup. It's called 'looking damn good'. Look it up."
Winston proceeded to trounce the both of them.
"How are we losing to somebody so much younger than us?"
"It's a new generation: move over, old men."
And then (now pregnant) Liv came down to join them.
Liv: "Oh hey, can I join in?"
Seth: "Knock yourself out."
L: "Oooh, great. I've never played strip poker before!"
Rodney: "THIS IS NOT STRIP POKER."
S: "Really? You'd be winning if it were."
R: "I don't want to want to lose, just in order to force you to keep your f---ing pants on!"
L: "Aww, don't be a spoilsport, Dad."
S: *whispers to Rodney* "I told you what she was like!"
R: "SHUT UP."
Liv was eventually persuaded to leave the half-dressed poker game, and do something else. Somebody explain to me how bowling (like this at least) is safer for pregnant women than hot-tubs?
Don't laugh at your mother falling flat on her stomach whilst bowling pregnant, Dwayne; that's supposed to be you in there >.>
Also, another descendent falls to the underwear-only cult!
Rodney: "What kind of family have I made myself a part of?!"
A lot of time passed - Winston went to work and came back - and everyone (but Liv) came back to poker.
S: "Ohhhh, Rodneeeey...? Where has your stack of chips gone?"
R: "Shut up. I've been having a bad day luck-wise."
S: "Mmmhmmm. I vote there should be some kind of forfeit. Join the cult of the underwear-only!"
R: "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go drown myself in the pool."
Did you know that if a sim runs out of chips they aren't actually kicked out of the game? Is that normal for poker...?
And that was it. So for all'a y'all who want to inflict serious pain on Rodney Jalowitz: rest assured he's not at all happy or comfortable :P
