so THIS time I tried to make an actual cover for my update. How quaint
Anyway, hello all, and welcome to another Bonita Uglacy Update! This time around we have generation 2 heiress Ephera Bonita taking charge of the quest for ugly. This one will be split into two parts because I evidently suck at narrowing down my updates.
![](http://i.imgur.com/mXfnGyv.png)
We start with my finally figuring out (via googling) how to achieve the Golden Anniversary LTW! Turns out, I could have done it ages ago. Nobody turned up anyway.
![](http://i.imgur.com/69I7O7w.png)
And I couldn't have done it at a better time, because Frita died during the party.
![](http://i.imgur.com/FetjB88.png)
Frita: This isn't how I pictured my anniversary going.
I guess a scythe to the head always makes you feel a little worse, too.
![](http://i.imgur.com/JdDR24o.png)
She cheers up when given the mysterious "Beverage"
Frita: Now this I can get into!
![](http://i.imgur.com/9isyDM9.png)
Wow, poor King. There's some obvious favouritism going on there.
![](http://i.imgur.com/MqhR1of.png)
Shortly afterward, Peter also achieves his LTW. Oh, and Ephera gains a point of logic. Because that's just as important.

Huzzah for successful Sims!

Meanwhile, Ephera's quest for an ugly husband isn't going quite so well...
![](http://i.imgur.com/YpvRupn.png)
Oops. Well, there's a way to kill the optmism.
![](http://i.imgur.com/0jLQkn7.png)
This guy, Justus Something-or-Other, is our new maid. He also has a rather interesting face...
![](http://i.imgur.com/N4kZjLV.png)
For now, he's here to boost Ephera's aspiration.
Ah, there's nothing quite like using the help.
![](http://i.imgur.com/F2qSPnB.png)
Even the social bunny doesn't quite know what to make of our new employee.
And that's saying something.
![](http://i.imgur.com/boEpCb3.png)
Feeling a little lazy- and frustrated about all the beautiful townies running around Middling Moore- Ephera turns to the matchmaker.
![](http://i.imgur.com/Gk6rdC4.png)
And we got ourselves a vampire!
![](http://i.imgur.com/79c6AHc.png)
Count Brett Kosakiewicz proves to be a great aspiration boost for our heiress. Unfortunately, he's really not ugly at all.
![](http://i.imgur.com/N99rHLP.png)
The date ends...well, i think?
![](http://i.imgur.com/EPhYaZh.png)
In a last-ditch attempt to find a suitable spouse, we all head Downtown.
Here's Peter perusing a menu.
![](http://i.imgur.com/lhG3CQw.png)
This guy then rolled up- C.J Findlay.
![](http://i.imgur.com/x8tFy6q.png)
I mean, I wouldn't say he was particularly ugly, but throwing his genes in with Ephera might clash in a bad way.
![](http://i.imgur.com/zK5WFiD.png)
Hm. Now that's given us a lot to think about.
![](http://i.imgur.com/Q3oY024.png)
Grim: So there you guys are! You know, I've been following you for four freaking hours.
![](http://i.imgur.com/XtuGpo7.png)
Grim: Now, Peter, you can only hide from ol' Grimmy for so long! It's your time!
Peter: But I feel so full of life, and-
![](http://i.imgur.com/OhhvEuZ.png)
Peter: Oh wait. Nevermind.
What is in that drink?!
![](http://i.imgur.com/R2HPDm6.png)
Peter has considerably less money than his wife. Probably due to his demotion.
And, uh, who the FUCK is Duey???
![](http://i.imgur.com/Wipjq6o.png)
Sanjay Ramaswami comes over.
![](http://i.imgur.com/PLkcZk0.png)
He's entirely too cute to be a part of this hellhole, so he just boosts Ephera's aspiration.
![](http://i.imgur.com/v9hrRc5.png)
Count Brett is invited over again, possibly because I did want to marry him in. But he proved to be tricky this time around.
Count Brett: You keep those hands to yourself, young lady!
![](http://i.imgur.com/7Zva7Uf.png)
I don't think that relationship is going anywhere...
![](http://i.imgur.com/pVj89Mf.png)
So Justus The Maid is intercepted on his way into work the next day.
![](http://i.imgur.com/h6L06vr.png)
Because Generation 3 really needs to hurry along.
![](http://i.imgur.com/wJiB9QV.png)
C.J: Ephera! I...love your, uh, new look!
![](http://i.imgur.com/LxHVnxP.png)
Despite initial reservations, it's clear by the end of the night that C.J doesn't want to leave.
![](http://i.imgur.com/3SjdfHZ.png)
Don't worry, C.J, you'll be a true Bonita soon enough
![](http://i.imgur.com/JyzNK5z.png)
I guess he's not ugly but he's not totally gorgeous either?
BAH, I guess I just suck at this.
Anyway, C.J is Popularity. He's an Aries with;
Sloppy/Neat 5
Outgoing 8
Active 6
Serious 3
Grouchy 3
His turn ons are: stink and vampires
His turn off is: blondes
![](http://i.imgur.com/nRI0Ckr.png)
His LTW is to be a Mad Scientist, and he actually IS a Mad Scientist when he moves in...
Has to be the easiest Permaplat I've ever done.
![](http://i.imgur.com/un9MGc3.png)
Ephera: Uh, hello?! Can you not see how successful I am?
![](http://i.imgur.com/zU8hUY4.png)
Successful? Maybe.
Pregnant? Definitely.
![](http://i.imgur.com/qZl8vAZ.png)
With that news, Ephera decides to propose to C.J in the most fitting place. The Bathroom.
![](http://i.imgur.com/76qjCZ3.png)
C.J: I mean, it's not the best ring I've ever seen. But I guess it's okay.
![](http://i.imgur.com/2v5wliw.png)
C.J: And 'okay' is good enough for me! C'mere.
Awh. It's almost inspirational.
![](http://i.imgur.com/rCThZ3j.png)
A beautiful ceremony immediately commences. Naked. In the hallway. After casual WooHoo.
![](http://i.imgur.com/kvMMxkv.png)
Perfect.
![](http://i.imgur.com/ZbYARy4.png)
A few days later, and Ephera is bordering the red. So I send her out to the nightclub to pick up some dudes.
![](http://i.imgur.com/og38R4F.png)
Ephera: I'm looking for some hot stuff.
Don't ever say that again.
![](http://i.imgur.com/qzRPuCr.png)
She does find this dude. His name escapes me now, but he may become important later...
![](http://i.imgur.com/IP2WRkA.png)
Time passes, and then little girlie Murphy Bonita is born!
![](http://i.imgur.com/3EUSzoV.png)
And sends her mother spiralling down into the abyss of aspirational failure.
![](http://i.imgur.com/vdRFYMh.png)
But that doesn't matter! We'd all rather see what genetic mutation has happened between Justus and Ephera, right?
![](http://i.imgur.com/xtqoLXq.png)
Um. Well.
How horrific?
Okay, okay, she's cute. GOD DAMN IT, SHE'S CUTE.
Murphy is a Leo, with;
Neat 10
Outgoing 10
Lazy 2
Serious 3
Grouchy 3
![](http://i.imgur.com/AUoFcHq.png)
aaaand then I fucked up somewhere. I managed to salvage this picture of Ephera's extremely cute work outfit...
![](http://i.imgur.com/dH269pq.png)
But I forgot to get a picture of C.J and Ephera's child, Portia, before her first birthday...
![](http://i.imgur.com/HF3tD4Y.png)
She's cute, too, OF COURSE
![](http://i.imgur.com/yhiII9Y.png)
And this disappointing unveiling of ADORABLENESS is where we end this chapter/part.
Please excuse me whilst I angrily rant at nothing in particular.
