Pic Spam Backlog: Chapter 22
So I have had a few pic spams piling up in my sims folder for awhile now and today I finally feel like organizing and posting them. So there will probably be a few of these today and tomorrow. Let's start with chapter 22 (if anyone can remember back that far that is).
Let's start with toddler pic spam! I took so many photos of Ferd and Mag's brood when they were little and didn't get to show nearly enough of them in the chapters. So here's Ginny:
(I love it the toddler wake up stretch!)
Luna:
(I wish toddlers actually had a suck thumb animation.)
Molly:
And Arthur:
And all four of them together:
Cayden also didn't get a whole lot of face time in the chapters since he's the grandchild of a spare. But since he is Greta's grandbaby here are a few toddler pictures of him as well!
Greta and Chase really dote on him and were over a lot when he was really little.
Chase had a big birthday party that didn't make it into the actual update as well.
All of his cousins that weren't already in college were there.
Along with a few random guests.
Molly was especially excited about Cayden growing up. I should have known this would lead to disaster later. I'll explain more once I get the next chapter out but let's just say the friend zone on ACR didn't work the way it was supposed to and half my neighborhood ended up furious at each other. *glares at Cayden, Molly, and Gloria*
Bella made a cranky face just after Cayden grew up. It's almost like she knew he was going to become a handful once he hit his teenage years. Cayden is a Pleasure/Romance sim, btw.
Speaking of birthdays, you saw most of what actually happened at the Molly, Ginny, Luna, and Arthur's birthday. I don't think this particular series of events made it in though. Edith and Gloria were happily dancing with each other.
Which Jenny apparently found really annoying. I suppose that perhaps she sees some natural talent in Gloria that she isn't allowed to try and bring out? I just found this whole event very in character. Especially since Dorian is coming over to defuse the situation before Jenny decides to do or say something.
This is a picture of the grow up outfits from the dummy hood. I was very disappointed that Luna didn't grow up in the dragon outfit in the real hood. It would have been so appropriate. I love her reaction compared to everyone else's, though. Luna is all "AWESOME I'M A DRAGON!" and everyone else is surprised or concerned.
Heading on to things that were actually in the chapter now:
I think this was one of my favorite staged pictures from the whole update. It turned out exactly the way I had pictured it in my mind.
Despite the fact that I wrote Edith as hating the entire sneaking out adventure she did seem to be having a good time when I was filming it.
Also, is it just my vampires that are this stupid? Every time I am downtown at night one always seems to fly into a solid piece of furniture as a bat and then get stuck there.
And here is proof that Jenny really did learn Anger Management. I think she even rolled up a want to do so.
And Gloria really did roll up a want to learn Couples Counseling.
Now on to things that got completely cut from the chapter. This is King, one of Greta's sons, and ACR decided that his one was the clone of the dance hobby leader that I created back when I was filming the dance competition. I'm not even sure how they met. This was awkward on so many levels so, unfortunately for King, I decided to get rid of the extra Noelle when I was doing hood clean up and rearranging this past spring. One Noelle was enough to have running around my hood. It didn't seem to bother him too much though and he has since found a much more acceptable townie girlfriend.
Edith and Falcon seemed to bring home at least one Doran each day for awhile. I actually do have them flagged as Marla's kids in the Penguino hood so they are half-siblings to Robert, Falcon, and Edith. I love this family dinner picture, though. Marla has a look on her face that is like "I feel like I know these kids somehow and I just can't put my finger on it..."
Falcon did go through his share of high school girlfriends but this young lady seemed to be his favorite.
Perhaps because she made sure he knew who had dropped of the giant stereo system.
And apparently the llama costume didn't hurt his ability to get dates.
Falcon got to change outfits first thing after heading to college. He was the only controllable sim on the lot when I sent him shopping.
Which led to some interesting events when Memphis, Robert, and Emmi all decided to show up as uncontrollables. Yes, that is Emmi and Robert getting their crush hearts!
These two are adorable!
Another thing that never made it into the updates is that Memphis actually seems to have a lot of trouble keeping the weight off. He had this trouble as a teen too and at one point I considered making the fact that he was gaining weight from not practicing a plot point. But I had too much going on as it was.
So Memphis spends a lot of his time falling off of various work out equipment as he tries to keep his belly flat.
And I'll end this post which an example of what happens when you rearrange and purge your CC. My poor simself....
