Last time, Chris died, making the family richer yet more depressed. Now there's a pretty perma-plat grave decorating the backyard. :3
Even though Chris died without achieving her insanely difficult LTW, she magically managed to die while in platinum. Awesomesauce.
Linden: I can't believe mom died... I don't think I'll be able to get over it...
Linden: BUUUUUUUUUT it's somebody's birthday! OMG YAY! *blows into noise maker*
Oh yeah. Work that evil smirk, Aleksei.
Remaining household: YAAAAAAY~
Yup. Sexy. :P
(I also noticed that he didn't inherit the family chin. Well.)
Oh, he's sad, all right.
Nik will never get over it.
Aleksei, post-makeover. I could not resist the v-neck shirt.
Garden!pop. This is the last one for this generation, hopefully.
Potato: Why am I stuck with this crappy life? I HATE YOU SIMGOD!
This is how the boys start their day. Easily amused, you two?
Mathias: You, like, totally gave me a joy buzzer, Aleksei! I think I lost a few braincells...
Aleksei: There might be a slight possibility!
Are you freaking serious, Nik?
Anyway, Garden Club Inspection part 2... COMMENCE!
Damn you.
Why can't you be more like Chris, Mia?
She rolled this fear right after pissing herself. Rofl.
Aleksei rolled Knowledge, by the way. And trust me, he doesn't act like it.
Mia: *pops*
Dominik: *leers*
This small corner of the kids' room is dedicated to owls.
Hey look, Chris' ghost finally decided to haunt us! :D
Chris: WHY WON'T ANYONE NOTICE ME! *bitches*
You died happily. Why so angry?
Chris: BOOGAWOOGAWOOGA!
Linden: Oh hi mom! :D
Baby time! This time it's not in the kitchen!
Hosnap, it's a girl!
Her name is Clarissa Lowell, with Linden's eyes and hair, and A MIX BETWEEN HER PARENTS' SKINTONES, W00T!
I won't lie. She has a good start on heir already.
*cough*Ownerofgoldgardeningbadge*cough*
Dominik: lol recycling!
Tomato plant: ...
These two haven't been getting it on lately.
Mathias seemed to have inherited his voyeurism from a
certain relative of his.
Linden: So, Mia, um... we haven't had any sex in a while, so now wouldn't be a bad time.
Linden: I mean, we've been married for fifteen years and we've only tussled for the sake of making children...
Mia: Oh, stop your complaining and get in my pants!
SPARKLE SPARKLE
Clarissa toddler-fied. She rocks the mini-lolita hair. :P
And this is her as a child.
What? She needed to catch up with the others. :/
<3
Along with all of that, Mathias is shipped off to college.
Mia: *grins with joy*
Potato got a sunburn while jumping on a bed. What the hell, Maxis?!
Seriously. WHAT. THE. HELL.
These two get along swimmingly.
Maybe if they weren't swinging around in piles of cockroaches this NEVER would have happened.
Micro: Um... whut.
I must admit that the pet's birthday sparkles are a lot prettier than the sim's birthday sparkles.
Clarissa: A B+? Ew!
Hey, not bad for your first day, kid.
He reminds me of a younger Isaac... GAH, I love him!
Aleksei: Hey. You like the size of my TELESCOPE? *wink*
Yup. Happy birthday, Potato.
He is promptly shipped out.We won't be seeing him in college. It was... nice knowing you, I guess.
Actually, I'll be honest. I won't be missing him one bit.
Dominik: Hot maid is hot! *fans face with bills*
Promotions have become very rare. Linden and Mia are still at the same job level they've started with.
Yes, you, Mia.
NO
NO NO NO
NONONONONO!!!
Who's going to talk to the plants while you're gone? What about your LTW?! NIK!
Clarissa doesn't give a shit about the 725 simoleons she got from insurance.
Mia remains unfazed. I was surprised (and maybe even a little pissed off) that Dominik's death didn't show up in her memories.
So he was just some old man to you? HE HAD THREE BOLTS WITH YOU!
Bad memories for everyone else.
Farewell, Dominik. Contrary to your thoughts in 1.1, you accomplished more than you expected, and you were much loved. Be a nice ghost, Nik!
And that's all. Next update: College begins? Heir is revealed? Stay tuned!
(BTW, I've already decided who heir should be. And it's not exactly what you expect. :)
