Bork Legacy, Generation 7.2!
Further adventures in ISBI/pixel_trade with the Borks! Gen 6 spouse, Helle Almassy-Bork, was raemia's sim, and current spouse, Fleur Simpson-Bork belongs to kingmike1224.
Last time, Frigg moved home and got herself hitched to Fleur Simpson. After going to her honeymoon by herself, she kept trying to get pregnant, and it didn't work. Eventually, Fleur decided that she'd bear a child, and so the spouse ended up pregnant. Fleur wasn't too bad at taking care of her own needs, and even Helle had improved in her self-sufficiency in her golden years. Frigg found a job, Fleur entered her second trimester...and then Frigg accidentally became pregnant herself.
Fleur gave birth to quadruplets! Boys, Magni, Meili, and Mímir, and one girl, Sigyn. Frigg ran herself ragged, heavily pregnant with four infants and no one really stepping up to help. Midway through the quads transitioning to toddler, she gave birth, to one girl, Gná. Thor, Helle, and Fleur finally took care of the quads after they hit toddler, and Frigg managed to rise up a little ways in her job. Gná shortly became a toddler herself, leaving the household at FIVE toddlers.
Obviously, after we ended last update with Thor and Helle ignoring the grandbabies, they had to find someone else to meet their needs.
Here ya go, Fleur!
I have some slight hope that the kids'll develop a rapport with one another...here Magni and Meili play together as Sigyn naps...
...and Mímir and Gná play independently in the nursery.
Hmm...Thor's half alien, he should know what to do with space stuff!
...now I'm extra glad I didn't actually give them money when I rolled windfall at the beginning of the week.
Yay, it's time for the quads to become children!
You know, only one of them grew up bad. That's actually pretty respectable, considering how the last age up went. ...ironic it's Magni who had a bad time of it, considering his age-up was the only one not interrupted by Gná being born last time.
Here's Meili!
Mímir!
Sigyn!
And Magni! So, it looks like Meili and Sigyn got some angry brows, and Mímir and Magni might be more neutral browed.
Aw, all my beautiful babies take after my beautiful wife!
Poor Helle's dipping into bad aspiration, despite going to work and making money and stuff.
Gná needs a diaper change, but one kid in diapers is so much more tolerable than five.
Lincoln, he already had a bad birthday, you jerk!
WHY IS GNÁ SO ADORABLE
Thor, I see you "playing" with Harmonia as far away from your family as possible while still being on the lot! Go cheer up your depressed wife, jeez!
Look, Meili...that's your grandma's bed. You're the weird one, here.
So Magni's on this weird sleep schedule which leads to him waking up in the middle of the night and playing in the toybox all alone.
I'd feel worse about you all trying to use the same toilet if this house didn't have, like, five bathrooms.
Aw, well, we've got one uncontrollable spouse we've kept a little happy!
Thor, you should probably bring Gná inside!
...I have to say, while the stalkery bedmaking gets to be a bit much, I'm fond of super neat sims' tidying habits, otherwise!
...poor Helle, I don't know why she's so depressed all of a sudden.
I never owned any successful businesses...I'm such a failure!
Who, truly actually wants to deal with multiple successful business? Usually even the most ambitious entrepeneurs are satisfied with one!
Today, I'm going to learn all the math, Mama!
Fleur's just looking at Mímir like, "Oh boy, wait til you find out how school works."
Frigg's off to work, so hopefully the nanny will stay put until her shift's over.
That's most of the kids, now, right? Music and dance?
I thought Fleur had the day off for a sec, but I guess this was just how she said goodbye to Gná.
I don't think the underhanded move would be the appropriate thing to do...
...yikes.
What just happened?
Hell if I know, were you employed at Crazytown U?
So, I want to use her one adult command to find another job, but I'm dumb and forgot she wouldn't want to immediately. Don't be surprised when I have her do it later. Chalk it up to me not having played in awhile...last time I had trouble making teens date right because I forgot proper flirt order.
Yay, Meili met his cousin Bethany!
Meanwhile, Frigg's gotten a promotion...and is one step closer to the reward camera I forgot to nab when Zisa got high in the artist career.
Aw, you better appreciate your Mom, Magni...it's not like your Mama changed any of your diapers before you asked her to!
The quads are all getting their fun up with some playstation! Wait, where's Bethany...
...you can have a facial expression Bethany. I promise it won't hurt.
Decided to get the kids into private school. The house has been nice for ages, so it shouldn't be hard.
NOW, KIDS?!
...that's an interesting reaction for a school administrator. Maybe he knows Fleur's former bosses.
Oh, I used to help run a school once...
What happened?
They fired me today.
...Frigg's family is having some trouble schmoozing, for some reason! :P
Bad mood-ed Fleur diapers Gná, putting herself into a badder mood.
Desperately chatting until Frigg hit on ONE topic this guy liked managed to pull the schmooze points up just in time. I don't know if I've ever have a visit cut it this close.
He just does not like Frigg.
While I don't know whether to be mad at you or Meili for that brawl earlier, I do appreciate you, Magni. For playing Myshuno with someone besides yourself. Especially since that's now Mímir's ~true hobby~.
And here's where learning how to do homework magically makes the children more well adjusted. See how happy Sigyn is?
She successfully interacts with Meili...
...who, in turn, pokes at Mímir. I really don't know if Meili being mean or Magni growing up badly caused that fight now!
Fleur apparently only cares about her kids when they're toddlers, period? Not simply older than babies?
Sigyn and Mímir played together outside all day...and it was summer!
Are Frigg's whopping 3 Nice points a small enough amount to make all her kids mean? Or is Fleur secretly even meaner?
I mean, she did autonomously hook up with Hermöðr at one point...
I'd chide Mímir, but how could he have expected to find his grandparents getting it on in Frigg and Fleur's bedroom?
Weeeee...
Mímir will play with anything and everything.
Time for Gná to grow up! This is the best thing about the kids being close in age...transitions close together.
Seriously...grows up into pink clothes to make my life easier! She grew up okay, too, so not bad.
And here she is, since the other hair seemed to sit a bit low on her head now.
So, how come I never got you as a blind date using the magic crystal ball?
Finnegan Abel (simmericangirl), that's sexual harrassment and Frigg doesn't have to take it. (Why did she bring you home from work?)
Go away!
Several angered, murderous ghosts, and Lincoln is the one scaring everybody this update. But I'm okay with him harrassing the harrasser?
...you do you, guys. I guess. If it doesn't lead to another pair of brawlers.
Okay, here is where I was able to sit Fleur down and get her a job. I totally forgot I rolled for this, I just literally gave her the first computer job that popped up. Which was Oceanography.
...there was also some weirdness involving the game claiming her grades were too low for employment(?!) so I had to cheat her age down, up, etc, etc. Long story short, Fleur's accidentally technically a Family sim for the rest of the update. I've since fixed her.
I'm getting sick of paying a liar to not repair our stuff, repairguy. I've got my eye on you for the next time I roll the "murder NPCs" challenge!
A nice, peaceful weekend afternoon where all the kids have their homework done? Almost boring domesticity!
Yay, no one got pregnant!
...Helle died and I missed it! She kept up such good relationships with her kids and husband. :(
Between Thor having to wait a few days of adulthood to get married - the three days I gave him from Elixir of Life, he and Helle were still the same age. So, she barely made it to 70...somehow didn't pass at 6pm like normal... And Thor's got a lot of elderhood left. Guess that's the power of getting your LTW in university.
Thor loved his crazy wife.
Lincoln decided to wake up Mímir so he could find out his grandma died?
The kids all really, really...
...loved their grandma! Helle was a great caretaker when she wasn't pregnant!
And here's how Sigyn's gonna cope, I guess?
Mommy!
Aw, poor Frigg...
...and what if she comes back from the dead and does it wrong?!
You and your bizarre, unfounded fears. Like why do you think Gillian's in danger?
Fleur's gonna have to wear a wetsuit in the carpool? Seems impractical and unconvenient!
Wow, autonomous promotion and smart children, yay!
Frigg gets promoted, too, and makes the cutest face.
For anyone who'd been wondering where the icon of Frigg came from, right here!
So, guys, we had five kids in child age and the household running smoothly. Let's adopt three toddlers! In fact, let's make it so the torchholder whose LTW is top a career take three days of leave from her job so she can be home every day when we adopt a new toddler!!!
Sigyn's sleep schedule was off, so I wasn't able to have Frigg get to her homework on Monday night, but she'll catch up soon, promise.
Ah, she was social, though!
...if you're wondering who Siren Bork is, Njörðr and Vesna Bork (nee Magicakes) were finally allowed to have their child. Siren, because all of Vesna's non-adopted siblings were named after FF summons, and Siren is a FF summon.
I was surprised, then I realized that Fleur must have been fairly high up in education to be a dean. And then I realized I might have been able to get a magic bookcase out of her before her firing, and was sad. :( :(
Thor brings home Emily Creelman (steezie_k). I don't think they ever liked each other, but he had around 20 other lovers roaming the neighborhood...god, Harmonia Randolph might actually get her claws back into him after all this time!
Gná, don't you want to do anything a little more fun after school? ..Gná?
This is an amazing 180 from the misery of the babyhood of the quads + gestation of Gná.
...trying to get your next promotion, Fleur? XD
Frigg's cooking for more people than a group meal can serve, so she's eating all of the leftover grilled cheeses in the fridge from the Green generation while her family gets a real breakfast.
So I hear you two are going the adoption route yourselves?
Frigg said she wanted to help out other kids in the same position as Blair. We've got the room and the money, so cool?
Fleur might have been more weirded about it if I hadn't accidentally changed her aspiration!
Okay, here we go! Last four times we did this, we got kids whose first names alliterated with Bork!
C-combo breaker!
So, here's an adorable girl named Matilda.
Funny how you had to adopt to get a redhead, despite your wife's genetics.
Gave her some proper pink attire~~
And Sigyn comes home with her A+!
Yep, the Angelina challenge is going to extend the generation a bit, as the other kids are all gonna be teens really soon.
Time for the quads to use their childhood command! I think Mímir is already in bed, so he'll do his tomorrow.
I'm so glad you didn't make us all join little league, Mom!
Thor hooks up with Magdence (prettypalisades)...I think this puts his lifetime lover count at 22, now!
Aw, Matilda, I think you'll fit in with the family just fine.
And Thor's just as sweet to all of his grandkids. Guess Family Sim-ness transcends having, like, no nice points.
Have you two put aside your differences? That's amazing!
Another day, another toddler~~
Today we've got Garth. Party on!
You could have just handed him to me, you know, I was right there.
Why would the social worker make sure the toddler actually made it into the house or the arms of their loving new parent? That's ridiculous!
Garth already seems easy to please!
...I'm glad they didn't do this when the social worker was still there.
No need to help Mímir today, he's got an age command to utilize before his birthday in a couple of hours.
Frigg's been wanting to throw parties every day, so I figure having four birthdays at once was the best reason we've had lately.
It's so much easier when they can reach the cake themselves!
Rinse and repeat, they grew up well, Sigyn just managed to barely be first!
Knowledge/Romance for Sigyn.
Pleasure/Fortune for Meili.
Romance/Popularity for Mímir.
Romance/Grilled Cheese for Magni.
Lots of variety, and no whiff of Family sim for once!
Tried to take account their aspirations for their makeovers, since the teen+ amount of pink clothing is better than the younger ages.
Sigyn.
Magni.
Mímir.
And Meili.
Eostre and Gná are a little behind the times, but it's nice to see them celebrating!
JESUS CHRIST, LINCOLN, WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY IN YOUR GRAVE FOR ONCE
Hermöðr might be an ass, but he's our ass!
Don't know if it was Lincoln's now-nightly supernatural rampaging, the fact that four transitions takes up a lot of time, or what, but the party score sucked.
No amount of smustling helped. Smustling not being the best thing ever?! But this is the Bork house!
:(
And that's how Frigg lost more aspiration for that party than she gained from throwing it. I bet the kids'll love having the bad party memory, too.
I send Frigg off to fulfill a want to swim (at the tail-end of fall...guess she has a modicum of sense), and guess who's here to terrorize her? Not the murdered nanny, but Lincoln!
Seriously, did he just now figure out that Ullr and, by extrapolation, the continuing family line didn't come from his loins or something?
At least she wasn't too tanked to make it into the pool.
This mystery pee is a clue to why the party score sucked. It must have been Lincoln. Also? This pee doesn't belong to anybody that lives here. I checked.
~~~~Miniscule Spare Interlude~~~~
Aged Bethany up to keep her in sync with her cousins. ...that's still not a full expression, young lady!
~~~~End Miniscule Spare Interlude~~~~
They fit into the loading portrait again, for half a second, here!
Here's the quads' orientations. They're all straight.
Luckily for Frigg, adopting a kid counts as meeting someone new!
Here's Ayla, who kinda resembles Matilda. I think they managed to get the same facial template.
I apparently forgot to give Garth a pink outfit, but I only had two to choose from, so excuse me for not being eager.
Ayla's got even more in common with Matilda, seems!
Which one of Frigg's asshole siblings decided to only give one out of her five children a monetary award for making the honor roll?!
Mímir's decided to step up and be a caretaker for his youngest siblings.
I wish Mímir played with me like that.
To be fair, Gná, when you were Ayla's age, Mímir was the same age as Matilda.
...that's pretty awesome, Mímir, not gonna lie.
So I'm glad I married Frigg. She's beautiful and loaded!
You're still not that rich, Fleur. But sure, let's entice Colin Cormandy (imaginepageant) to join the family at some point...Emmett Wilder was a hilariously inept spouse in the Randolphs. Maybe a sim by the same creator will be great fun in this family.
Matilda's got her first birthday as a Bork! No party this time, because we don't want to fail any more of the children. :P
Two of the quads shoot jealous looks at their mother as Matilda grows up fantastically.
Hey now, ONE of you grew up great! The fact I already forgot which one means nothing!
Here's child!Matilda. That turban looked pinker when it wasn't in the bright purple kitchen.
Guess it's still a Bork party, there's kitchen smustling.
But it's my job to babysit Ayla!
Since when, Mímir?!
Why aren't you keeping Magni occupied so he won't monopolize the baby?!
...wait, what?! You want Meili fighting with Magni so you can take care of the toddler...and you'll start something if he doesn't?!?!
And then Mímir apparently got Ayla back so he could change her!
So are we getting another brother or sister today, Mom?
Haha...the Angelina challenge is only for three toddlers, so we're done now.
Ooooh, Frigg in the uniform means that the camera is either close to being or already available!
...I don't think any of the kids got many nice points. If I caught every noogie instance that I personally saw, this update would be 100 more pictures long. And I'm sure there were plenty more I didn't see.
Gná's going to have her birthday soon, so she gets to do her homework by herself for once.
You'd think this was a nice scene, two older siblings talking with one of the younger about their birthday...
...but why let a nice sentiment stop you from your neverending noogie parades?
Meili is actually keeping himself out of the new animosity by playing guitar. CONSTANTLY.
Protip, Matilda: don't spy on me. It never ends well.
This is mainly proof I did actually give Garth pink clothing at some point.
Frigg brings me my camera and Sveta Greer (inkstaind_stars).
I figured, with Helle passed to the great beyond (in the backyard), I could put Thor's exercize bike back.
Don't make me regret this, Thor.
Time for Garth and Gná's birthday. Guess it's just a party for the G kids.
Gná's Popularity/Romance~
Gná's kinda got a charmed life, somehow.
After the rainbow contingent last generation, looks like all the eligibles this time around are going to be hetero.
She's still quite pretty. And I actually had to change her clothes myself for the first time!
And Garth got his makeover straightaway, this time!
Aw, Zisa, I know you earned a camera, too. I just forget about these things in ISBIs! You were kinda busy being abducted all the time? :(
Frigg's sociable children don't bring home many friends from school, choosing instead to mob delivery people as they walk by.
Ayla, now the baby of the family, is attracting the family's attention like crazy...just like Gná before her.
Frigg's decided to get the younger trio into private school, too!
...I have a confession to make, for reasons. I stupidly invited him over the day before Gná's birthday last time, so I just put Gná into private school, since it was the weekend and I would have totally just done the scenario the next day if I was paying attention.
This time, I was smart and did it on Ayla's birthday and aged her up before Frigg served dinner.
Of course Ayla grew up great, given she had everyone's attention, from Thor to Frigg to Mímir to Garth.
Somehow the same house got better tour points...but instead of eating the provided dinner, the Headmaster decided to eat half a bosco stick one of the kids had snacked on and left at the table. I couldn't get him to eat any of the provided dinner.
Even got prompts suggesting the Headmaster ought to eat some dinner! Didn't care!
So in a last ditch schmooze effort, Frigg is hanging out with the guy...
...next to the second platter of fucking filet mignon that he refused to even try. Yep, after the last near-miss, I had Frigg cooking gourmet for this asshole.
She actually managed to get a lot of schmoozing in this time, but it didn't matter. He was too stupid to eat dinner, so they didn't make it into private school.
...is this karma for cheating in Gná?! I don't know, but next time, I'll have to make the tough decision as whether or not to have Frigg take another day off from work to do the scenario, or deal with the younger kids coming home from school absolutely miserable.
While I appreciate you wanting to better yourself, Meili, get out.
Why are you all in Thor's room, anyway?
We end with Fleur looking lovingly at the five of her stupid offspring that have stuffed themselves into the bathroom that's just off the kitchen. XD

The stat count was fairly tame this update!
Now, isn't it hilarious that, while Frigg and Fleur sanely decided they had enough children, my VDS challenge decided it was time for the Angelina challenge again? Thus, my couple who would have probably been alright having, like, two or three kids now has eight. I forgot to do the math, so I don't know if I can actually have all the kids off to Uni after another ingame week or it'll be dragged out to two. I kinda rather would have them all in Uni together...and more time with Frigg controllable will definitely ensure her LTW, so I guess it'll be the first Monday that Ayla's a teen that will decide on it being time for Uni.
Hopefully will have a Laurince update soonish, though I have only played the previously-mentioned one day in their dorm so far. I have to find them all spouses, and remember to age up one of the girls' teenage boyfriends, too. Off to hopefully watch the latest episode of Drag Race Allstars before I pass out!
Last time, Frigg moved home and got herself hitched to Fleur Simpson. After going to her honeymoon by herself, she kept trying to get pregnant, and it didn't work.

Frigg's off to work, so hopefully the nanny will stay put until her shift's over.
That's most of the kids, now, right? Music and dance?
I thought Fleur had the day off for a sec, but I guess this was just how she said goodbye to Gná.

The quads are all getting their fun up with some playstation! Wait, where's Bethany...

Gná, don't you want to do anything a little more fun after school? ..Gná?
This is an amazing 180 from the misery of the babyhood of the quads + gestation of Gná.
...trying to get your next promotion, Fleur? XD
Frigg's cooking for more people than a group meal can serve, so she's eating all of the leftover grilled cheeses in the fridge from the Green generation while her family gets a real breakfast.
So I hear you two are going the adoption route yourselves?
Frigg said she wanted to help out other kids in the same position as Blair. We've got the room and the money, so cool?
Fleur might have been more weirded about it if I hadn't accidentally changed her aspiration!
Okay, here we go! Last four times we did this, we got kids whose first names alliterated with Bork!
C-combo breaker!
So, here's an adorable girl named Matilda.
Funny how you had to adopt to get a redhead, despite your wife's genetics.
Gave her some proper pink attire~~
And Sigyn comes home with her A+!
Yep, the Angelina challenge is going to extend the generation a bit, as the other kids are all gonna be teens really soon.
Time for the quads to use their childhood command! I think Mímir is already in bed, so he'll do his tomorrow.
I'm so glad you didn't make us all join little league, Mom!
Thor hooks up with Magdence (prettypalisades)...I think this puts his lifetime lover count at 22, now!
Aw, Matilda, I think you'll fit in with the family just fine.
And Thor's just as sweet to all of his grandkids. Guess Family Sim-ness transcends having, like, no nice points.
Have you two put aside your differences? That's amazing!
Another day, another toddler~~
Today we've got Garth. Party on!
You could have just handed him to me, you know, I was right there.
Why would the social worker make sure the toddler actually made it into the house or the arms of their loving new parent? That's ridiculous!
Garth already seems easy to please!
...I'm glad they didn't do this when the social worker was still there.
No need to help Mímir today, he's got an age command to utilize before his birthday in a couple of hours.
Frigg's been wanting to throw parties every day, so I figure having four birthdays at once was the best reason we've had lately.
It's so much easier when they can reach the cake themselves!
Rinse and repeat, they grew up well, Sigyn just managed to barely be first!
Knowledge/Romance for Sigyn.
Pleasure/Fortune for Meili.
Romance/Popularity for Mímir.
Romance/Grilled Cheese for Magni.
Lots of variety, and no whiff of Family sim for once!
Tried to take account their aspirations for their makeovers, since the teen+ amount of pink clothing is better than the younger ages.
Sigyn.
Magni.
Mímir.
And Meili.
Eostre and Gná are a little behind the times, but it's nice to see them celebrating!
JESUS CHRIST, LINCOLN, WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY IN YOUR GRAVE FOR ONCE
Hermöðr might be an ass, but he's our ass!
Don't know if it was Lincoln's now-nightly supernatural rampaging, the fact that four transitions takes up a lot of time, or what, but the party score sucked.
No amount of smustling helped. Smustling not being the best thing ever?! But this is the Bork house!
:(
And that's how Frigg lost more aspiration for that party than she gained from throwing it. I bet the kids'll love having the bad party memory, too.
I send Frigg off to fulfill a want to swim (at the tail-end of fall...guess she has a modicum of sense), and guess who's here to terrorize her? Not the murdered nanny, but Lincoln!
Seriously, did he just now figure out that Ullr and, by extrapolation, the continuing family line didn't come from his loins or something?
At least she wasn't too tanked to make it into the pool.
This mystery pee is a clue to why the party score sucked. It must have been Lincoln. Also? This pee doesn't belong to anybody that lives here. I checked.
~~~~Miniscule Spare Interlude~~~~
Aged Bethany up to keep her in sync with her cousins. ...that's still not a full expression, young lady!
~~~~End Miniscule Spare Interlude~~~~
They fit into the loading portrait again, for half a second, here!
Here's the quads' orientations. They're all straight.
Luckily for Frigg, adopting a kid counts as meeting someone new!
Here's Ayla, who kinda resembles Matilda. I think they managed to get the same facial template.
I apparently forgot to give Garth a pink outfit, but I only had two to choose from, so excuse me for not being eager.
Ayla's got even more in common with Matilda, seems!
Which one of Frigg's asshole siblings decided to only give one out of her five children a monetary award for making the honor roll?!
Mímir's decided to step up and be a caretaker for his youngest siblings.
I wish Mímir played with me like that.
To be fair, Gná, when you were Ayla's age, Mímir was the same age as Matilda.
...that's pretty awesome, Mímir, not gonna lie.
So I'm glad I married Frigg. She's beautiful and loaded!
You're still not that rich, Fleur. But sure, let's entice Colin Cormandy (imaginepageant) to join the family at some point...Emmett Wilder was a hilariously inept spouse in the Randolphs. Maybe a sim by the same creator will be great fun in this family.
Matilda's got her first birthday as a Bork! No party this time, because we don't want to fail any more of the children. :P
Two of the quads shoot jealous looks at their mother as Matilda grows up fantastically.
Hey now, ONE of you grew up great! The fact I already forgot which one means nothing!
Here's child!Matilda. That turban looked pinker when it wasn't in the bright purple kitchen.
Guess it's still a Bork party, there's kitchen smustling.
But it's my job to babysit Ayla!
Since when, Mímir?!
Why aren't you keeping Magni occupied so he won't monopolize the baby?!
...wait, what?! You want Meili fighting with Magni so you can take care of the toddler...and you'll start something if he doesn't?!?!
And then Mímir apparently got Ayla back so he could change her!
So are we getting another brother or sister today, Mom?
Haha...the Angelina challenge is only for three toddlers, so we're done now.
Ooooh, Frigg in the uniform means that the camera is either close to being or already available!
...I don't think any of the kids got many nice points. If I caught every noogie instance that I personally saw, this update would be 100 more pictures long. And I'm sure there were plenty more I didn't see.
Gná's going to have her birthday soon, so she gets to do her homework by herself for once.
You'd think this was a nice scene, two older siblings talking with one of the younger about their birthday...
...but why let a nice sentiment stop you from your neverending noogie parades?
Meili is actually keeping himself out of the new animosity by playing guitar. CONSTANTLY.
Protip, Matilda: don't spy on me. It never ends well.
This is mainly proof I did actually give Garth pink clothing at some point.
Frigg brings me my camera and Sveta Greer (inkstaind_stars).
I figured, with Helle passed to the great beyond (in the backyard), I could put Thor's exercize bike back.
Don't make me regret this, Thor.
Time for Garth and Gná's birthday. Guess it's just a party for the G kids.
Gná's Popularity/Romance~
Gná's kinda got a charmed life, somehow.
After the rainbow contingent last generation, looks like all the eligibles this time around are going to be hetero.
She's still quite pretty. And I actually had to change her clothes myself for the first time!
And Garth got his makeover straightaway, this time!
Aw, Zisa, I know you earned a camera, too. I just forget about these things in ISBIs! You were kinda busy being abducted all the time? :(
Frigg's sociable children don't bring home many friends from school, choosing instead to mob delivery people as they walk by.
Ayla, now the baby of the family, is attracting the family's attention like crazy...just like Gná before her.
Frigg's decided to get the younger trio into private school, too!
...I have a confession to make, for reasons. I stupidly invited him over the day before Gná's birthday last time, so I just put Gná into private school, since it was the weekend and I would have totally just done the scenario the next day if I was paying attention.
This time, I was smart and did it on Ayla's birthday and aged her up before Frigg served dinner.
Of course Ayla grew up great, given she had everyone's attention, from Thor to Frigg to Mímir to Garth.
Somehow the same house got better tour points...but instead of eating the provided dinner, the Headmaster decided to eat half a bosco stick one of the kids had snacked on and left at the table. I couldn't get him to eat any of the provided dinner.
Even got prompts suggesting the Headmaster ought to eat some dinner! Didn't care!
So in a last ditch schmooze effort, Frigg is hanging out with the guy...
...next to the second platter of fucking filet mignon that he refused to even try. Yep, after the last near-miss, I had Frigg cooking gourmet for this asshole.
She actually managed to get a lot of schmoozing in this time, but it didn't matter. He was too stupid to eat dinner, so they didn't make it into private school.
...is this karma for cheating in Gná?! I don't know, but next time, I'll have to make the tough decision as whether or not to have Frigg take another day off from work to do the scenario, or deal with the younger kids coming home from school absolutely miserable.
While I appreciate you wanting to better yourself, Meili, get out.
Why are you all in Thor's room, anyway?
We end with Fleur looking lovingly at the five of her stupid offspring that have stuffed themselves into the bathroom that's just off the kitchen. XD

The stat count was fairly tame this update!
Now, isn't it hilarious that, while Frigg and Fleur sanely decided they had enough children, my VDS challenge decided it was time for the Angelina challenge again? Thus, my couple who would have probably been alright having, like, two or three kids now has eight. I forgot to do the math, so I don't know if I can actually have all the kids off to Uni after another ingame week or it'll be dragged out to two. I kinda rather would have them all in Uni together...and more time with Frigg controllable will definitely ensure her LTW, so I guess it'll be the first Monday that Ayla's a teen that will decide on it being time for Uni.
Hopefully will have a Laurince update soonish, though I have only played the previously-mentioned one day in their dorm so far. I have to find them all spouses, and remember to age up one of the girls' teenage boyfriends, too. Off to hopefully watch the latest episode of Drag Race Allstars before I pass out!
