Hahahaha, yeah... Had to rebuild in another hood because it borked again. So basically halfway through this update everyone is in a different hood. And I sort of half-assed this one out of frustration. THANKS MAC.
So in the last main update, Helene and Amos kicked the bucke- I mean bouquet (lololol). So guess who gets a crapton of cash thanks to that good ol' Sim City insurance company!
Felicia: GASP
David: I PROTEST ALL OF THIS MORTALITY
WHAT, BY TRYING TO DIE IN A FIRE!??? *Pulls out hair*
The firefighter is mirroring my face right now. He knows well the cooking failures of his fellow Sims, alas. IT'S AN EPIDEMIC.
Fine, we'll just have to use this candy-making machine. A candy-making machine that makes something that more closely resembles something that appeals to the toilet-humour part of my brain, hurr hurr.
I jest, I jest. I shouldn't make poop jokes when Dario is busy test-tasting.
It wasn't long before Felicia also got the call from Grim and went off to the Eternal Luau in the Sky.
Felicia: Oh boy! Time for a phantom family reunion!
Everyone else was understandably less excited about the whole thing. All of this death in the family must be depressing, it's true.
David: Oh, it's my turn? HELL YEAH BABY
Well that was fast. But hey, Gen. 4 has to get going somehow. MOAR TOMBSTONES FOR THE COMMUNITY CEMETERY! 8D
And it's also time for Generation 5 to get old! Nicola's looking a little apprehensive there but she'll be right as rain once she gets a delicious slice of vanilla icing.
Old age barely touches Dario, so good on him! (Translation: I somehow don't have the grey hair for this hairstyle).
Nicola does look more aged, but she's still the same adorable button she was threeeeeefffouuuuriiissssh spare updates ago. :>
Moving on to the other spare house! Everyone is happy or bored. I can't tell.
Geoff: No more autonomous sea chanteys. X(
HA. HAHAHAHA *Kisses mod*
It's not like there aren't other ways to have fun around the house. Sea chanteys be damned!
Take one last look at Mario and Genevieve in their adorable wrinkles. It's pretty much their turn to push some sunny daisies.
Genevieve: WAT. I don't want to push daisies.
Grim: Too late, lady. It's time to say hello to the soil.
Genevieve: NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME
Mario: UNHAND MY WIFE'S HOURGLASS YOU FIEND
No one can win against Death, obviously. Where are all of his muscles, anyway? You'd think you'd be able to snap those bones off.
Uh. Well, if it makes you feel any better, that is the last deaths this update!
Now it's just birthdays! First up is Felicia, who just looks a little greyer but will still be gracing the house with her squishy presen-no, no she isn't. Because then the hood borked so I decided to say screw it to pets.
Oh, my mistake. Mario is the last death this update. AND NOW FOR ZE BIRTHDAYS!
Diana: OMG GIVE ME TIME TO GRIIIEEEEEEVEEEE
I guess I'm moving too fast. Sorry. :T
OK, NOW FOR ZE BIRTHDAYS!
God, he looks so much like his dad.
My heart cannot take all of this elder love. <3
And then Dario and Nicola move in so they can all keep each other company and I can just let them run rampant and cause fires and stuffs. :D
Here is James and Patricia's house, modeled after a nice house I saw on one of the house blogs I follow on my simblr for building ideas. It's big but it's cozy... or at least it WAS UNTIL MY HOOD BORKED but that is for another time.
OK, I'll keep my frustrations to a minimum during the wedding, at least.
It was a lovely ceremony...
... Which no one paid attention to until it was over. Do not put a pool table in the house during a wedding in the Sims.
I feel like Cesar is over-dressed, looking more at home in Downton Abbey, whereas Andreas just DGAF. Look at that undone bowtie. Hugh was maybe going for a sprezzatura look, but Andreas just DGAF.
James: Ooooh! Hello little unborn niece or nephew! Who's a good little baby bump?
Sadly, I'm gonna have to re-do Generation 7. 8[
But let's not dwell too much on that.
James: B-but... babiiiiiesssssss
We're making more babies, hush!
A bit of "talk to belly" and he was right as rain again.
Patricia: AAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH
STOP. It's time to move! At this point, the hood went BLADGDG so things change in the next shot.
Three girls. This here is Emilia, and LO! Blonde babies courtesy of their grandpa Cesar! DOES THIS COUNT AS HAVING ALL OF THE HAIR COLOURS IN A LEGACY IF THEY'RE SPARES?
Heidi and Cyane are on the ground, natch. FAST FORWARD TO TODDLERS.
Emilia again, looking very disapproving of having to move to a hastily built house. I concur, m'dear but I got super lazy when it came down to it because I had just built them all nice houses. BAH.
Lil' Heidi, who's cheekier than her sister.
And Emilia, who's also blonde. Well dayum!
Moving on to Nigel's little house I also built with love but then after the hood move, I just went "PFFFFT FUCK IT" and just threw him into a premade house because I still couldn't be arsed.
Anywho, he and Shelly tie the knot very firmly.
And the moment I place them in a new house in a new hood, they just ACR it up on the cheap couch before I could sell it and put down a nicer one.
I cheated and just fast-forwarded through her pregnancy because SPARES AHAHA also to catch up on lost time.
And another girl for the cousin side of things, Alice! If I don't get another boy in the main house, well... I'll save the name Tommy for whenever another male Picklesworth appears.
And here she is with some really thick lips, as per tradition. I'm gonna blow off some steam by working on my Prosperity Hood. I should post updates of that whenever I get round to it! 8D
