Viking Death Squad - TS3 Style 3.05 & Heir Poll
Previously death visited, Blondie showed off his kleptomaniac side, the Lolita twins became teens and the Kara twins reached childhood while Kara gave birth the final (and ineligible due to age distance) Taclawse of the fourth generation.
This time! The final update with Blondie as the Torch Holder!
Starring:
Blondie (Jari) - 3rd Generation Torch Holder
Kara jenji_sims - 3rd Gen Spouse
Zan gheez - 2nd Gen Spouse
The Lolita twins birth mother was the beautiful Lolita Nabrakov will_o_whisper.
The Kids:
Lolita Twins - Dellingr & Sleggja
Kara Twins - Bruce Yggr & Bruce Brana
The Forgotten Taclawse - Valdi
Zan couldn't explain why he had the urge to fish at one, but he did. Dragging the kids and Kara out to the beach behind the house.
Kara brought baby Valdi with her.
Bruce Yggr had to keep running back to the house to make sure the stove was off and the sink wasn't dripping.
Blondie saw the disaster. Just as he was pulling into the street an earthquake ran through the property leveling it.
We Went to See the Wizard: your house and land has been obliterated by a tornado, and the insurance company are gypping you on your claim. Delete/bulldoze everything on your lot (you may keep sim-painted paintings, and lifetime points rewards in a sims inventory before doing this) and flatten it to remove any and all landscaping. Its time to build a whole new house, afresh, with the money remaining.
Luckily with Blondie's connections they were able to get a new house built quickly. Even better they'd sent off several of the pictures and other items to get cleaned so it wasn't as costly to decorate as they'd first feared.
Kara and Bruce Brana celebrate with juice!
Blondie starts the arduous process of upgrading all their items to protect his children.
Though maybe he needs to protect himself as well...
Meanwhile...
The Lolita twins continued in their quests for perfect bodies.
Bruce Yggr enjoys a nice sleep in.
And baby Valdi contemplates the universe from his crib.
And Zan enjoys a cup of coffee. This shot for madame_ugly!
The first generation not to creep out the bus driver.
After a shower and a nap Blondie was back to defeating the kitchen with his hammer.
Later that evening Torfa came to make a special visit.
I know she doesn't remember him, but this is still made of love for me.
Then it was time for Valdi's birthday.
Even the maid cares!
And Blondie snatched him up as soon as he transitioned.
And then promptly deposited him with Zan for training.
This family, it takes its training seriously.
Valdi Brave and Light Sleeper.
Bruce Yggr cheers on his father's kitchen upgrades and promptly rolls a desire to be a Tinkerer (max logic and handiness) just like his great grandpa Victor.
The family fell into a pattern over the next few days.
Kara didn't let something like a bad catacombs experience stop her from playing chess.
Zan painted if he wasn't tutoring the kids.
And Blondie tried to convince Kara to have another child. Luckily the house is full so while she wasn't against the idea the house was.
Bruce Brana being oblivious to the talks since any new babies wouldn't be taking from her chances at the heirship. Besides, she has the power of her stupid hat.
Bruce Yggr has taken to obsessively brushing his teeth or washing his hands.
I'd like to say Sleggja was being ecologically aware, but really she missed the bus. Enjoy that bike while you've got it...
Repo! The Genetic Opera: Pay no bills for the entirety of the week. Say hello to the Repo man!
Zan continues his strange comparisons explaining logic through the cunning filter of getting married.
Birthday time!
The other kids cheered for Bruce Yggr, even if Bruce Brana didn't.
Whereas Bruce Yggr did the robot for Bruce Brana's transition while her older siblings wandered off.
All fear the coming of the Bruces...
Bruce Yggr Neurotic, Grumpy, Genius, Kleptomaniac.
Bruce Brana Slob, Couch Potato, Snob, Hopeless Romantic.
Now that he was a teen Zan could start to train Bruce Yggr in the ways of handiness.
Bruce Brana rolled the want to be a renaissance sim (max three skils) like her dad. I might try and get her to reroll to see if she picks up an Ambitions related want.
And Kara takes an interest in her youngest going so far as to read with him.
When he's not having his candy stolen by his daddy.
The Kara twins dive right into the wonky sleep schedule I landed their older siblings in. Sleep until curfew so unable to go out without getting arrested. :(
Zan showing off the laundry system. I'd be more excited, especially with the clothes line if it wasn't just a time sink. Maybe I'll get a laundry bear out of it.
When Kara isn't looking Zan also reads to Valdi, because he's not totally spoiled in the slightest... <.<
Spoiled rotten little brat...
Zan enjoying some peace and quiet.
And Kara discovered the sculpting table I put on the second floor.
So sleepy...but can't stop drinking juice...
Dellingr really wants to get a girlfriend, but 80% of the town is related to him and while the game doesn't see 2nd cousins as too close genetically I do. So Dellingr gets to read books in front of the school and dream of beautiful Pixel_trade beauties.
While Blondie shows off his cool style fishing with his dad. Of course he's too busy posing to notice Zan having snagged a fish before him.
Valdi explosion!!!
Don't you wish he was an heir candidate?! He does. Protest the heir poll! Write in Valdi! Brave, Light Sleeper, and Computer Whiz.
He's got Torfa's vote!
Zan and Blondie continue to have their conversations about nothing.
Or take turns doing laundry.
Kara upgrades to wood.
Making a pretty kitty statue for the third or so time. I kept this one. :D
Dellingr having maxed all the skills he needs to be a badass thief he bonds with his grandpa.
Though his step-mom is giving 'how to chainsaw ice in your underwear' lessons!
'No thanks, I'd rather be shamed by a fish than lose a leg!'
So we end this with family shots. Zan using the drafting table to make a pretty dress.
And eating with the Lolita twins.
Kara spending time with her twins. Valdi is off causing mayhem I'm sure. OR sleeping...
And Blondie...
GET OUT OF THERE!
The four heir candidates!
Charm Point: The Hardbottle-TaClawse genes are strong in this one.
Wish: To be a Master Thief.
Charm Point: Makes Awesome Wibbly Lip.
Wish: To be a Special Agent in Law Enforcement.
Charm Point: Does a great Snape impression.
Wish: Tinkerer Max Logic and Handiness.
Charm Point: Looks dashing in a hat.
Wish: Max any three skills.
Yeah, none of them have really shown me any crazy personality like their dad or grandma. It's a looks/trait fight!
