The Bishop Legacy 1.1
Last time, we left Nash desperately trying to hook a husband while Basil desperately tried to get a big enough raise that he could use the toilet behind a closed door.
Nash: Okay, so I live with my brother, but it's not weird or anything. I mean, he's completely on board with me getting a boyfriend and having a ton of kids, he's not going to get in the way, that's not a dealbreaker, right?
Basil wasn't a dealbreaker. The fact that George Dean is apparently engaged? That's kind of a problem.
Basil: Hey, so how did it go with that one guy?
Nash: I don't want to talk about it until I've convinced him that he's better off dumping his fiancée and having a ton of babies with me, instead.
Basil: And I think the less I hear about this, the happier I'll be.
George has gotten over the awkwardness of Nash hitting on him enough to agree to come over, and Nash puts his devious plan into play.
First, get him comfortable enough to hug...
...and then kiss him.
That's pretty much the entire plan, actually.
Actually, it works surprisingly well. Maybe Nash is better at this than I thought.
Doesn't take long before these two lovebirds are stargazing, but apparently that isn't quite good enough to give Nash the option to ask George to break up with his lady friend.
Nash: Yeah. *cough cough* I can't come to work because I'm really sick. I'm definitely not taking the day off so that I can entrap an engaged man and get him to leave his future wife for me.
Basil: Aren't you supposed to be at work right now?
Nash: I took the day off so I could entrap an engaged man and get him to leave his future wife for me.
Basil: This kind of fits into that category of things about your love life I'd be happier not knowing.
George still seems pretty willing to lock lips with Nash, at least. This is a promising sign.
Nash: Look, all I'm saying is... if you really loved her, and you were really ready to marry her, would I have ever been able to convince you to kiss me in the first place?
George: Yeah... yeah. I guess you're right. I need to do the right thing and tell her.
Of course. Then he persuades to be so depressed about it that it's impossible for Nash to get his claws in any deeper that night. That's okay. The hard part is done. Nash can wait one more day for babies.
Nash: No, I really can't.
The next day, he's recovered enough to agree to go steady with Nash.
George: Oh my god, this is all moving so fast.
Nash: Well. It is a legacy.
George: What?
Nash: Nothing, dear. Just say yes.
...don't look at me like that. He made out with Nash while he was engaged to someone else. I don't want to give him a chance to get out of my grasp now that I have him.
Oh, look. He also wants five kids. HahaHAHAHA this might have been a mistake.
Apparently, the fact that the bed is outside is way less embarrassing than the outside toilet. Nothing gets in the way of two family-focused Sims making a baby!
And this, gentle readers, is where I made a massive mistake, although I didn't know it at the time. You see, it's been so long since I played around with Sims 3 mods, and never as extensively as I did with Sims 2 mods, that I didn't realize how many layers I'd set myself up to working with by having both the Woohooer and Story Progression active. It took me a while to even figure out how to enable the option to try for baby, and I thought that was it. But after days and no signs of nausea, or the grand, glowing pregnancy announcement, I assumed that maybe there was just a setting somewhere that made the chances really low for male-male try for baby. And so I did something incredibly foolish.
I purchased fertility treatments for Nash with his achievement points. When that didn't work? I got it for George, too.
Then, I found ONE MORE SETTING that I needed to change so that they could actually conceive, but by then, it was too late. I was doomed.
Still innocent as to the horrible things that we were all destined for, life went on in the Bishop household. Eventually, we managed to afford enough walls to have two bedrooms, and a kitchen. Basil and George got along, when George wasn't attached to Nash at the lips. Or other places that Basil doesn't like to think about.
Basil: I SAID I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. HOLY SHIT. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BRAIN BLEACH IN THE WORLD.
Basil: Look. I know you're trying to get pregnant as soon as possible so you don't have to go to work anymore. But could you please try to limit the public sex to when I'm actually at work and I don't have to know it's going on? I might want to time travel in that thing!
Apparently, letting Basil beat him up with a pillow makes it all better again.
...oh hey there zombie attacks. I should probably get that pea shooter out at some point.
Could this be the first morning sickness of the legacy?
Basil: Hold on, I have to text Nash about this.
He was nice enough to get out in time to let George have SOME privacy when he started puking.
And there we have it! Generation two is officially in the oven at last. You'd think that these family crazy Sims would finally be happy, right?
...or not. Why have one pregnancy when you could have two?
