And it's a birthday! Well, Bottle isn't exactly the cutest toddler in the world, but nor is she scary or deformed or whatever. So, you know. Normal.
But we can't focus too much on Bottle anyway, because there are far more interesting things going on over here. See, courtesy of ACR, Mighty and Kimberly appear to be expecting a child. This will lead Kimberly gently down the path of complete insanity. Just so you know.
Of course, there has to be fire involved, too, because we can't go without fire.
Since she set fire to her food, because she fails hard at using a microwave, Kimberly wanders outside, hungry. Across the road and into the great expanses of nothing. In the rain. In her pyjamas. Looking quite creepy while she's at it.
But before long she's back, hanging around in the back garden and playing darts instead of eating.
'cause it's not like she's starving to death or anything.
Maybe a party popper shall make her less about-to-drop-dead!
CRACK!
Hm, nope, that didn't feed her.
And this isn't feeding her either. Well done, Relentless! Also, see that bowl on the side? That's the food Kimberly cooked in the microwave and abandoned earlier. Because eating the food you cook isn't going to make you less hungry.
It's not solving the problem at hand, but I suppose it makes Kimberly feel better. ...for the moment. Because you know this is going to lead to doom.
GOD DAMMIT KIMBERLY, STOP FAILING.
She didn't eat that either, she was more content watching Mighty cook. For himself and nobody else. Because he's so helpful.
Then she made another bowl of noodles and refused to eat that, too.
Nope, she's spotted the wine bar. Totally gonna help the baby.
Feeling generous, Debbie cooks a nice, large meal for everyone, with fresh fish caught by Relentless in the back garden pond. It sparkles.
But Kimberly? No, she won't eat food cooked by Debbie. In fact, she'd rather pretend the food's not there at all.
And then get up.
And pass out. Leaving her husband to worry. Man, Mighty, you sure know how to pick 'em.
Finally, Kimberly manages to get a few mouthfuls down her, but passes out in her food before getting very far.
In other, non-Kimberly related news, Wi-Fi got a D. This meant that everyone was in tears.
Oh come on Wi-Fi, it's not that depressing. I mean, look at your father! He was getting Fs most of his academic life. Mind you, he also spent most of his academic life in tears.
Look, I'm not having another depressed Sim. Cheer up and be cute.
*dies* STOP IT.
Oh, and since we've not seen Bottle since she grew into a toddler, now we have her as a child. Wi-Fi is looking all :( in the background there.
And while Bottle discovers there is no cake for her, Kimberly is upstairs giving birth. Finally, I can have her not about to drop dead constantly.
Baby! We now have a cute little redhead girl, gen 2 baby 5. Her name is Glass.
Yep, Bottle and Wi-Fi here have an auntie much younger than them. Oh well!
Rather than bothering with the baby too much, though, I thought "screw this, it's time for another holiday" and packed three Sims into a taxi. Mighty is taking Bottle and Wi-Fi camping.
Although... there isn't a tremendous amount of things to do when on holiday in the mountains. Staring at a section of old tree-trunk? Surely there are more things for a little kid to do.
I suppose there's always playing cops and robbers with your little sister. Aww... :3
And then there's Bigfoot.
Who is open to both hearing all about your travels, from Takemizu to your current adventure in Three Lakes...
...and to helping you understand trig.
Can't have camping without a nice campfire and stories.
Mm... marshmallows...
Man, this holiday would be so much more awesome if my graphics could handle more people. And if my game had actually generated tourists, because it hasn't. Just locals. Annoying. Ah well. Still, I suppose hot springs aren't that boring, but if it were a kid-me I'd be so bloody bored.
This is more like it, though it looks kinda... um, silly.
This man? Travels around the world to seek out gullible young men like Relentless. He's very inconspicuous, though, very hard to spot. But since Relentless isn't there he just moved on.
Oh yeah! Here's a close-up of Bottle's face. She's cute.
When night-time falls, the kids enjoy a good game in some kind of sad excuse for an arcade...
And go back to their cabin to sleep.
Where their grandfather tucks them in nice and safe. Aw~
There are still more things to do, though! So off we all trot when morning arrives, away to get absolutely drenched!
Like so! Much better!
Part of a good holiday, of course, is the food. Not so fun are the people who hover around you when you want to eat, though, but Wi-Fi can manage.
And then it's back to the treestump. Fascinating stuff, don't you know?
Naps in hammocks are a good way of recovering energy lost through running on logs and staring at treestumps.
Although not necessarily for those who had far too much energy in the first place.
While the kids are in bed, Mighty discovers that he's still got that magnetism thing going on.
But anyway, the holiday was never intended to be a very long one. Posing for a last photograph, the kids prepare to go back home.
With their cute little suitcases.
And, of course, Granddad.

I only completely rushed typing up this holiday-thing. Quite fun to play, boring as hell to write about. Also, I think Kimberly's white PJs make her look kinda creepy in a strange way. I kinda like it. She can keep them, much as I hate Maxis pyjamas.
