As soon as Frosti Frost was released he made a beeline for the bathroom and freedom from stink!
I wasted a lot of time letting Sneaky hack with his mad skills before I realized that hacking doesn't give skill points towards anything. X_x
Like his Uncle Barri and Aunt Nott before him Grumpus is glued to the easel.
All five boys in various states of getting ready or doing their homework before school.
Random shot of sneaky because the younger twins don't get nearly as much screen time as their older siblings.
Victor's become a semi-regular at this point.
He and Zan talked for hours about the kids and their lives.
And then Victor grabbed a cup of espresso before he headed out. I swear half the reason he shows up is to drink their coffee...
I'd still been waffling over heir so this post has a lot of random shots of all the kids. Helga and Happy doing some intense tutoring.
Despite having only recently been sprung from the room Frosti Frost still spends all this time in there painting.
Blondie considers the chess table his arch foe.
And The Girl also spends most of her time painting.
If he's not painting he's somberly doing things that are not painting and being somber about it.
Zan continues to make a garden of awesome!
Oddly the boys tend to fight over who gets to sit next to Blondie. All the time.
Torfa took a quick bike ride to the park.
So she could get in some jamming for tips.
Zan followed in the family van and decided to commune with nature. <.<
This is a family that will stop everything to do their homework.
Zan picks up the handy skill and starts to play with hammers.
More homework and the ever dirty table full of juice boxes. One of these generations I'll have a sim that cooks!
I took this to show that Happy doesn't walk to do anything anymore he runs. Maxing out your athletics skills apparently means dramatic movement everywhere!
Sneaky boringly stealing another shot.
Cambia our lovely founder simmytizzy comes by sometimes too...
And Zan is pretty much the only one who is ever excited about it.
It might have something to do with the fact that Cambia only ever wants to hog a computer or sleep when she shows up...because being dead she doesn't get enough beauty rest.
To prove that The Girl does interact, somewhat, with her siblings.
Frosti Frost is seriously behind in his schooling from being locked in a room and it shows.
Well played chess table, well played.
The kitchen is where they mostly interact, but usually only in small bunches.
Get in as much family bonding as you can...because I'm sick of trying to manage two adults, five teenagers and a child.
The Girl shuns your sporting activities she's got schoolwork and paintings of the beach to complete!
Torfa performing for a disinterested Pixie frabbit.
With his kids grown Zan is rocking his way through both the handy and gardening skills in his adorable boxers...
Happy feeds the family pets. That's Shaun the Anchovy and I forget what Claudio is in the other bowl.
Freedom from the establishment. Why am I including this shot?
I know why Frosti Frost's grades are only barely passing after a week...stop hitting up small children for their lunch money with your song!
Grumpus? Are...are you okay man?
Later that evening...
Big bro Frosti Frost is there to help her celebrate. He's one of three people she likes (the others being Zan and Happy).
HOLY CRAP IT'S A BLUE TORFA! I mean The Girl gets the genius trait.
And a stripy dress, while making a beeline for her painting easel.
What happens when I let Torfa be autonomous...
Step One: Pretend she's stealthy.
Step Two: Scare the crap out of husband that was partially turned towards you.
Step Three: Get kissed for you efforts.
Aww whose Zan's adorable, ineptly evil wife?
They even garden together.
Zan shares his unicorn theories with Blondie.
And Torfa teaches Frosti Frost the way of the guitar.
Torfa talking to Nott for quite a few hours.
On her way to perform a concert I got the pop up.
Nott Hardbottle passed away at 92 days. Leaving behind her much younger husband Ariel and her two children from her first marriage Theodore and Erin.
Mini-challenge 3:5 Family Heirlooms: a distant relative has died, leaving you their most treasured possessions under the proviso that they NEVER BE SOLD. Every day for the week use the kaching cheat once, and use that thousand simoleons to purchase one thousand simoleon (or as close as possible) decorative item - no doubling up on items. These items can never be sold for money.
I'm pretending the Bar in the second shot and the statue, star wall object and big bookcase are from Nott's estate. They didn't actually get anything from Nott's estate, but let's pretend.
I know it's supposed to be a distant relative...but half-sister is pretty distant right? She lived across town? Weak justification is weak and served slightly burnt.
After her shift Torfa played all night. All her wants were to play so I let her.
Victor came out too.
Frosti Frost was of course excited.
And Victor stayed with him for hours while he practiced.
The Girl attempts to start her career as a drunken painter...GET AWAY FROM THAT!
And later that night, a final birthday.
Okay, here we go. Frosti Frost is the only sim kid of this generation I haven't chosen a trait for at every milestone including birth (yeah, you tell me how I managed that with all the screaming toddlers)...what will the game force on me for his bad grades?!
The suspense, it's killing me....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT COUCH POTATO! Oh! It's a fate worse than death! With an Evil Mother and brother and the brother and another one being insane. Plus an inappropriate brother and a loner sister HOW COULD YOU DISGRACE ME BY BEING A COUCH POTATO?!
THIS GENERATION IS RUINED! Where's Torfa? I need her to faint to bring in the appropriate dramatic reaction!
Frosti Frost traits: Virtuoso, Excitable, Daredevil, Dislikes Children, Couch Potato
This week is over! Next play week the boys all get to Young Adult! The heir begins the process of taking over while the rest of the siblings get phased out of the house and I do a neighborhood mating experiment with the boys!
Story Progression
Gunnar and Kerry had the first 4th generation baby. A boy Jeramie.
Helga is in a new relationship with a guy named Robin who is none of her kids bio-dad.
Edith simmytizzy got pregnant and had a boy named Moses from Aldo, a townie. This makes Moses, Magdalena's half-brother and Magdalena is in turn Gunnar's half-sister and he also has twin half-sisters by his mother Helga. Whew. I need a family tree in this business!
Both Nott's son Theodore and her daughter Erin are pregnant. Theodore does not live with his baby mommy while Erin had a shotgun wedding with her baby daddy.
Barri's daughter Christal is pregnant as well.
Hyrja got pregnant and had another boy named Clinton to sneak in one final generation three kid.
