A Sims 2 Viking Death Squad Pixel_Trade: Banks Legacy 1.1
Here we are! In spite of set backs, aka the loss (or never existence) of the beginning of the legacy through wingrab error, I'm keeping on with my first go, because I played for something like 12 hours before I noticed it hadn't capped properly. Luckily I had saved moments before my computer crashed fairly early on, still in the first week of our dear founder's simmy life, and when I restarted afterward, the screencapping commenced working without a hitch. I plopped our dear founder & her intended down in my only other desert neighborhood (my maxis townie harvesting neighborhood, death valley!), made an approximation of her house on a lot 3x3, and capped up a recap. Without further ado...
Eglantine Banks, a virgo distracted by grilled cheeses, arrived in her smallish brick house. The welcome wagon was not welcomed.
She made many grilled cheeses. She cared not for anything else.
Six grilled cheeses on a plate, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, who needs friends?
When she didn't feel like making or eating grilled cheeses she found pleasure in cleaning the toilet, wiping down the countertops and making the bed every morning.
& looking smoking hot. Though the only ones around to notice were her grilled cheeses. She tried the social scene of PT McGeeville, she met a few passingly attractive fellows, but the sparks just didn't fly. She found more pleasure behind the counter at the bowling alley queuing up unmakable grilled cheese sandwiches because the pesky cook wouldn't move away from the range. She watched as others around her began to autonomously hook up in the photo booth and took public showers. Eventually her longing for a grilled cheese sandwich sent her home again. She found a job in the entertainment career track, to pay for her addiction to toasted bread and melty cheeses, and lived in a sort of solitude, longing slightly for a pet or a baby named Bruce.
That was, until the day she spied through her kitchen window a vision of dorkiness passing by.
His name was Bilbo Dork (katu_sims), and he was magnificent.
(Thanks to pixelcurious for mentioning the hobbiton font, used in the teaser, which is appropriate in this case because Eglantine Banks is the name of Peregrin Took's mother. This is part of why I couldn't pass up a hobbit named spouse. Though they have 2 bolts as well!)
She quickly ran out to greet him.
Their very first conversation she confessed that kissing him sounded almost as alluring as wrapping her lips around a grilled cheese sandwich.
Within moments this theory was put to the test.
Over the next couple of days, the two were inseparable. Bilbo kept finding excuses to walk by, though the sidewalk led into nothingness.
A day came when Eglantine realized she wanted Bilbo in her life every day, she invited him to move in with her, and he said yes, joyously. He brought somewhere around $14,000, a garden gnome, a mirror, a decorative flower pot and a stereo. He was a gemini who wanted to be Captain Hero one day.
It wasn't long before their relationship went to the next level, and Eglantine found herself pregnant.
Armed with the knowledge of her impending babyness, Eglantine decided to pop the question in the most romantic way possible, over a couple of divine grilled cheeses.
Inhaling the sweet aroma of cheese, Eglantine watched the diamond ring she proffered glint and sparkle in Bilbo's large blue eyes.
He said yes, of course, and Eglantine gave some of the credit to her wonderfully gourmet meal.
A gourmet meal which tasted just as delicious on the way up!
I have never had a pregnant sim vomit quite so much, it's clearly the result of sweet curdled cheeses. Mmm. Sweet curdled cheeses.
She didn't let that stop her from going to work, though, she wasn't even showing, especially within the baggy confines of her birthday party mascot costume.
Working and vomiting are hard work, she hardly had the energy to eat, and previously it had seemed that all of her energy were devoted to that activity.
It was kind of dreamy, romantic, to wake up in a pillow of golden toast, cooling cheeses, bread crumbs sticking to her cheeks and eyelashes.
She woke up, lost weight, gained a baby bump. Just like that.
One afternoon Bilbo started to make something that wasn't grilled cheese. Luckily he was called away to work before he finished and Eglantine was able to put that garbage in the trash.
& commence with making some real food.
Reading back through my old Minkstole Legacy in which I capped every pop kind of made me miss capping every pop. It's adds a fluidity to the update which I do believe is lacking without it. So, papow! as I used to say.
With a largely pregnant fiancee, Bilbo rolled the want to throw a wedding party. He invited a few of their friends and his Dork-ish relatives.
Kristen & Elementa Dork (katu_sims), and Lilja Ragnhildur (lauriethemuppet) were somewhat unimpressed by the spread.
They expressed their undying love just as it began to rain. Their guests (including Sigrid Valkyre [bonkchick_nett] Olaf Krogstad [pinkposeysims] and Lukev Jix [jesstheex]) were unperturbed by the weather and applauded heartily, standing up from their seats, where they actually sat during the ceremony that they ACTUALLY WATCHED. It was amazingly well organized.
They actually waited until afterward to toast the couple! Unheard of!
I forgot to have them cut the cake, though. Heh.
They spent their wedding night staring at the stars, and Eglantine discovered how kraft cheese gets so cheesy, which gave her a new appreciation for science.
It wasn't long before her birthing time came.
Though she screamed and wailed as the baby wrested its way out of her plumbob, Bilbo slept calmly on.
Luckily birthing babies is like flipping grilled cheeses, and Eglantine managed on her own.
However, since Bilbo was asleep, he didn't get a say in the name of their newborn daughter, and Eglantine gave in to the strange urges she had been having all week long.
When Bilbo did get up, it was to go to the bathroom, and much to Eglantine's dismay, HE DIDN'T MAKE THE BED. She quickly dropped Bruce in the corner and went to amend this error.
When I was building a nursery I accidentally trapped Eglantine and Bilbo (who decided to play a game and check his email instead of greeting his newborn!)
The nursery is nice and spacious.
Bruce has some sort of mixed skintone, I believe, and her father's hair and eyes.
The next day it was time to roll a new challenge. Sigh. Since Bilbo's lifetime want is career related and Eglantine can eat a million grilled cheeses whether she's hungry for them or not, she opts to accept the challenge.
Which is quite correct of her, Bilbo is a promotion making machine.
Buying into the cliche, Eglantine heads off to the Crypt o' Night club in search of a grand vampyre. She finds instead Aram Bosko (jbruntz) getting down. He's so awesome.
Once a witch shows up, Eglantine decides to head over to the graveyard and try that.
Success! You can tell he's a vampire becaus of his. Um... furry hood. Stalking kind of lacks something without the cape.
Thank goodness, they have something to talk about, ladies fashions!
Be still my heart, that is SO romantic! <3
Stinky little Bruce prepares for her birthday.
Which it comes as no surprise, Bilbo is effectively missing. Aren't you supposed to be family oriented, mister plays-games-all-the-time?
Bruce!
Don't get me wrong, Bilbo holds her and feeds her and cuddles her a lot, actually. He's just missed out on the milestones.
Eglantine headed downtown to buy some clothes for Bruce.
I normally would have left this shopping trip out, but we missed out on so many cameos in my lost caps, I thought I'd give you Aram Bosko & anuvi's viking founder, who I rolled the name Kaitlin for.
Afterward Eglantine met katu_sims female foundah, (I neglected to write down the name I randomized for her.) and they played some chess.
Eglantine invited Mr. Sneakypants vampire over.
Quite infuriatingly he seems to have little interest in passing on the dark gift.
He just eats Bruce's birthday cake and watches TV a lot.
Meanwhile, Bilbo takes over almost all of the parenting duties while Eglantine pillow fights with the vampire.
Take a minute to soak it all in. Autonomous Try for Baby, vampire wants to talk through the moogle to Eglantine, Bruce, neglected at the foot of the bed.
Luckily the vampire sees Bruce's neglect, takes her upstairs, changes her diaper, gets her a bottle and plays dollies with her.
Having stayed up all night trying to make the vampire see her vampire potential, Eglantine doesn't even have the strength to fall asleep IN her grilled cheese sandwich.
Bilbo rather rudely sat down and ate it. That was HER sandwich. Except she totally got points in her sleep for him eating it. Warms the heart.
Indeed. Pregnant, and you still have to stay up every night, night after night in search of eternal youth, missy.
Though he's more interested in Bruce.
And the future sprogling. Seriously. When she stood their with some action from the vampire in her queue I had a moment of "THIS IS IT!" and then he RUBBED HER BELLY.
Bet you already thought this pop had happened from the previous shot. Nope. She's house-like. :)
Oh YES! And it's in the 2x2 bathroom, OF COURSE.
Eglantine has fabulous boobs. It looks like he's going to ravish them. Rawr.
At some point something happened and now all my vamped vamps get the vampyre hair. :\
A makeover is called for. Finally. This is little more than a day before the next challenge is rolled.
THEY'RE SO EVIL. Look at them. Eglantine likes to poke holes in the grilled cheese with her teeth and suck out the cheeses! EVIL.
