It cooled down quite a bit (until the sun started to blare down again today) and I used my chance to play Sims of course :)
Please bear with me, NL and Pets are still very new to me and I’m testing them out like mad :)
Since only my allergy and the fact that I live in a not-suitable-for-cats flat and area hinder me from being a crazy cat lady the first thing I did after installing Pets was creating a cat for Benjen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet - The Catmiral.
He’s nothing special I fear - but I loooooove him!! <3
(and every evil wizard needs a black cat, don’t they?)
But with the stuff needed for The Catmiral and some cool additions to Benjen’s room (which still isn’t finished yet…) they’re broke again…
He’s so prec...oh, for fuck’s sake! Who forgot that???
Thank god this is the worst thing what happened that night.
Cats think about making out? He lives here for about 1 sim hour he can’t know his owner is the town bicycle already.
Oh, WTH? You have a scratchpost! It’s right over there. You just scratched to your heart’s content at it!!
The Catmiral: My owner is going to expose me to disturbing sights with every woman he can get - that puts me in a raaage!
Woah - do you see those teeth?? Benjen better brings his girls over when The Catmiral is sleeping only… O.O
Still, he’s so very adorable!
The Catmiral: DIE, MOUSE, DIEEE!!!
It took me some time and a look into the object catalogue to realize the stars are induced by catnip in the toy mouse.
I don’t get the whole catnip-business as irl my family’s cat totally ignores this stuff but whatevs - it looks so cute how he tries to catch the stars X3
btw, thanks to NL I now have Pleasure Sims, too and of course Benjen is totally cut out to be one as second aspiration! =)
And his Lifetime points panel, or whatever this is called in English games. I didn’t bother to use the last two for work cut let’s face it - Benji is too cute to ever work a day in his life =P
He has a perfectly nice catbed that wasn’t too cheap either….but this looks so adorable I totally can’t scold him for it.
…I’m spoiling him, aren’t I?
tG;dr (too German, didn’t read): Benjen’s restaurant guide is selling surprisingly good! O.O
But we need the money since rent is due Monday and Arya has no work from Friday to Sunday.
While the children are still in school I reward him for earning money for the first time in his life by sending him into town.
Because I saw this beauty when I playtested one of the new community lots and I need to have it!! (I want kittens! =3)
My endless love to anyone who can spot the reference (and, if you want, some actual cookies :))
And Benjen wouldn’t be himself, wouldn’t he use the chance to come on to another prey victim girl.
He wishes for a date afterall and who am I to deny him that? <3
Wow, she’s really pretty! And I love how colour-coordinated she is.
She’s not very bright though.
And thus they have a date =) …in the pet shop.
Romantic, isn’t it? =)
Oh dear god, what did we buy there? I can only assume she has some aggressions because she’s heartbroken that Benjen first buys her and then pours his attention over another female.
He rarely ever feeded his very own children but her he does!
It ended a dream-date btw :)
That day Jamarh brings home a friend from school…very good taste he has I think!
Anwin grudgingly takes it upon herself to entertain their guest while Jamarh hops under the shower since his stinky self didn’t impress Vroni (such a cute name! X3) very much.
Yeah, show that homework what we think of it!!
Ooooh, will we see how their first meeting goes, now? =)
Doesn’t seem so...
I’m cautiously optimistic though and already got them a hut which you need for animal babies don’t you? =)
Jamarh: I’m smelling nice and proper now - so what do you think?
Vroni: Yay, you’re hot! =D
Jamarh: Well, you’re not too shabby either.
Benjen: I tought him well...
YOU didn’t teach him ANYTHING!!!
Jamarh and Vroni have two bolts btw <3
I hope she learns soon. They need to keep their money together cuz I laid my eyes on a very expensive (yet classy <3) car for Benji.
Oh, not fair! Being adorable makes it much harder to scold you guys D8
Lymira in broad daylight. Doesn’t she look like a total angel?
Her personality totally shines through though.
Random shot inbetween cuz lol, look at her name XD
She’s very pretty though. Too bad Benjen has no time right now.
Why?
Well, since his little princess came home from school with her fun totally in the red he decided to cheer her up by going out with his children to celebrate her birthday from last update.
Gaalney: Yay, (almost) alone-time with Daddy, I’m so excited!! X3
Lymira: We take HIM, too?? *instant headache*
I’d like to take this opportunity to show you my makeover of Doc Edgar’s.
New interior.
And totally new upstairs.
I hope it will look cooler at night... =D
Chill-out area that will definitely look cooler at night X3
And this is going to be tested tonight =3
OMG, look at him, he’s so precious!!!
*sigh* I built such a nice dancefloor, so why are you dancing on the stage for the DJ?
Meh, I expected this to look much cooler...
Then we proceed to what we came here for - having Gaalney earn money with music - unfortunately he didn’t put out a tip jar o.o =(
Suddenly Benjen made my heart go still with not only jeering his son but also starting to play music with him. That’s such a cute father-son-moment!! =3 (and boy, did he rock!!)
This was even better! =D
Look how happy this makes Gaalney!
Even happy enough to dare being in a very small closed space with his evil sister.
OMG, there are magical pets?? How can I turn The Catmiral into one?? *___*
lol, she tried to hold hands with him but he totally turned her down (probably ‘cause they already woohooed... - she was #8)
My game yet again fucks with me though…engaged? Are you fucking kidding me, game?
Yes, Gaalney, I hear you. The air got awfully thin for Benjen anyways (else he would totally go for that cute bartender or DJ...), so let’s go home.
Did I mention how much I love neighbourhood deco? <3
Cuz I totally do!
Wow, this snapshot sums up their relationship(s) pretty good! 8D
Back home the children head to bed while Benjen gets invited by some chick I’m not sure we know.
Oh look, who’s popular! Only half an hour later he gets another one. For the heck of it I said yes to that as well.
But first on to another couple. They are SO cute! =3
Aaaaw, yeah!
It took me some time to realize that no taxi would show up automatically for Benjen but that he had to go downtown himself.
But lol, flying downtown - so fucking cool!
I chose this cuz I liked the name.
Ooooh, lookie, Benjen’s new acquaintance is there, too...I hope there’s a photo booth somewhere on the lot, hehe.
Also: hai, One!! Long time, no see *___*
No photo booth - but this is just as equally good I guess =)
While I can totally understand you, Jana, please be good and don’t disturb them..........
Jana: Okay, as long as I can watch a little action...
...I take what I can, I guess o.O...
Since there isn’t much time we have to get right to the point...
Benjen: Erm...privacy pls?
Jana: Oh, don’t mind me, I’m just here to peep a little.
Claire: I’m ok with it if you are, baby...
Benjen: Ok then...
Sims…*sigh*
Now granny, too??
Oh, WTF???
Pervert Granny: Free porn is the best kind, isn’t it?
Jana: Sure is! ^__^
PG: I hope there’s going to be some more action, too...
Nope - at least not for you to watch...
Not that shooing them away stopped them from watching.
PG: Ha, that is what I had in mind =D
Of course One had to top all this awkwardness by hitting on Pervert Granny while his great-nephew is smooching his latest fling in a public hot tub.
Jana: Can’t tell which couple is hotter.
Haha, I haven’t seen this animation in a while...
EW, don’t go in there!! I bet there’s more swimming around than only bubbles, now...
Jana: What a nice warm and tingling feeling...
Jana: Hmmmmmm......................
EEEW!! D8
I needed to distract myself a little and went inside...
And oh, One, I miss yooooouuuu!! X3
He’s so cute!! <3
Yeah, baby, shake that booty!
Do I need to mention the outing was a total success? XD
Even though somewhere in the middle Benjen’s mum turned up...
Intellectuals?? This group of creepy peepers were supposed to be intellectuals?
And always when you think the standard can’t get any lower somebody has to limbo-dance under it.
In this case it’s Agnes who decided to go a little skinny dipping. At almost 6 am. In the hot tub her son just woohooed in. Wonderful.
His brother’s girldfriend hops in, too (and doesn’t look Agnes totally happy about it?). Ugh. I hope the first child she’s giving to Loras won’t have Benjen’s eyes...
Benjen went back home where he fell into his bed just as exhausted as his children did before.
Oh btw, Niela grew up, too, at some point (I tend to forget her). Here she comes from her makeover. She’s a total beauty queen, isn’t she? (yes, I know, I put on a little too much make-up but I couldn’t stop myself). There are no good clothes in their wardrobe for her though.
There’s still that money-problem, though.
So I guess we have to make Uncle Benjen write more books on restaurants.
Benjen: So much stress! I’m practically feeling the grey hairs growing already.
Oh ja, poor bb, I’m feeling with you. -.-
I wish we had had cats when Gaalney was still a toddler.
He’s such a sweet person! All the children of this generation have only 1 nice point, except for Gaalney who has a whomping 10 =3
OMG, this is so cute!
Deal with it! But come back later, k? (now I feel the urge to call a child in a later gen Remus and have him turned... =3)
The way teenagers are Niela doesn’t give a fuck about their financial situation (and Benjen’s stress level) and goes downtown to shop.
(that shop’s name goes so well with most teenagers’ desire to wear what “everybody” wears XD)
So, what do you think? I like it.
(oh my, her head looks huge)
Since there are no other teens in that shop I send her to the youth club hoping the stuff there would attract teen Sims for her to get to know.
She doesn’t feel very sociable though and makes a headstart to play computer games.
A shot of the view out of the window to cement my loving relationship to neighbourhood deco XD
Niela resorts to some underage drinking.
And starts acting weird even before she has the first sip.
Yep, nobody’s there.
I went to look what’s up downstairs when...
Oh, lookie, it's Sven (
sanus-ex's Seamus with her Teal Alien skin, in my game Seamus's twin brother)!!
Yes, totally appropriate way to go shopping Sven.
(gosh, I love that clothing mesh!! X3)
Cute Alien Cashier: Sir, I fear I have to kindly ask you to leave.
Still a prude, I see.
I’d like to know what SHE’s thinking right now.
OMG, he’s playing with himself! I’ve never seen something that is so adorable and so sad at the same time in my game before! (wow, that was equivocal, was it not? XD)
And how happy he looks he got a number (which he just announced himself...)! Aaw! If I didn’t already know I need babies from him in my legacy I’d know now!!
Finally a teen! He’s a playable but Idc. I haven’t played him in years anyway.
Ok, good start, one bolt.
But all of their conversations, no matter the topic, went like this *sigh*
I tried her luck with one of the cute cashiers but quite obviously she’s not cut out to get along with her peers. -.-
So she went back home where Roweeena was still being adorable.
First I was like Shoot, they hate each other! But then I checked the icon and it said they were playing. :)
Roweeena seems to be more social though =) Looks like it’s gonna take some more time until I get some kittens.
I lol’d hard but actually it was really bad timing.
Because we were expecting an important guest.
With Benjen’s charm we should have this headmaster business in the bag (as long as Ben refrains from hitting on him...)
We better have cuz we can’t rely on the children who rather play video games than show the headmaster what respectful and studious pupils they are.
Nooooo, why do you eat there? It was some stupid pathfinding problem that made Arya put the plates there. I need those conversation points, you can’t eat alone!
Ok, Gaalney, you’re my last hope! Don’t disappoint me!
The headmaster seemed to be a pretty cool guy though.
Headmaster: Oh yeah, I love TV, too. I have some self-made DVDs I really would like to show you.
Headmaster: And you like video games, right? I have pleeenty of them at home! You can come and play them anytime you want.
...
I nearly fainted when suddenly Gaalney put his hand into his food right under the eyes of the headmaster - but then I saw that he threw food for Roweena. Cuuuute! X3
And yes, that is Niela sleeping in the background.
Whoooo, they made it!!! =D (I usually fail at this) Now I can’t wait till Monday to see if that custom Private School uniform I downloaded ages ago works =3
But that has to wait until next update. There are already so many pictures here. I’m gonna play again as soon as the weather gets cooler again - or when I can’t stop myself any longer, whatever happens first :)
Ta.
Warnings: 141 pictures, cat spawn =3
