Last time our founder, Eglantine Banks (
simpurity) met and married Bilbo Dork (
katu_sims) and they had a baby daughter, who was named Bruce in a fit of postpartum euphoria. Eglantine ate many grilled cheeses and caught vampirism and got pregnant once more.
Bilbo is, evidently, not a fan of the numerous pop culture icons who have led us to believe vampirism is sexy.
Bilbo is a machine! Also: Nanny introduction. Do I remember her name? No I do not.
Our gorgeous first child Bruce.
Hold music while we admire what happens when Eglantine makes a plate of grilled cheese just as the sun is coming up and then Bilbo goes off to work and the whole platter rots on the counter.
Back to our regular programing. She's a gemini like Bilbo, but with a few more points.
And she's still freaking gorgeous.
Grilled cheese time interrupted for baby time!
Another girl. Hair and eyes from her dad, but a different skintone. Dorcas Banks.
I actually feel kind of sorry for all the legacies and all the legacy kids who never taste anything but grilled cheese. One of our nieces is totally a grilled cheese sim. She actually queues up "talk about grilled cheese" sometimes.
Bruce is obsessed with the easel, and I'm pretty sure this isn't her hobby. I am always super excited to see what the npcs spawn like in a new neighborhood. Squee alien arts and crafts lady!
Don't eat Dorcas!
What are you doing!? It's a good thing your wifey is in her coffin, mister, exposing your children to variety. *shakes head*
Ah. Man. Well. Okay.
Bilbo's still rocking it. And why oh why, none of my cc glasses work properly. I keep downloading sims with glasses and I have the whole glasses section in the mirror full of nothings. In this case, it's just the frames that don't show up.
Okay. Number one.
Bilbo's promotion caused superfluous nanny. I mean, they're always kind of superfluous, but this one especially so. This is the one time she's shown up but she calls every day to talk to Dorcas.
I love Eglantine's boobs. Tangent, really.
Dorcas!
Wait, what, TRY FOR BABY!? But. You're adopting three! To add to the two you already have!
At about 50 grilled cheeses, I tell ya, I'm afraid 200 isn't gonna happen. Too many distractions... I mean, kids, to worry over. Plus she can only eat them at night.
Introducing Lydia-Damaris Banks!
Dammit woman, get back in your coffin, we have a nanny for this.
See, she went and picked her up and everything.
And then set her back down on the hot desert sand and gave her an excess of bottles that curdled quickly in the sun. Right.
Phew, well, that's not THAT bad, for the time she spent out of her coffin.
Bruce brought home a child version of Xanthe (
dorkasaur_sims), yay!
Is that a glaring red plumbob and sunlight streaming through the window, Eglantine???
STAY.
Eglantine got Lydia-Damaris in the house whilst she was naughtily out of her coffin, though.
Pop! Yeah...
This isn't gonna work.
I believe the applicable term is adorbs, or something.
Oh goodie.
You're gonna need this so your children aren't left with a pile of ash for a mother.
But then the sun came up and interrupted her. :P
Let's try this again, cutie.
Phew.
She trapped Bilbo in the nursery.
Stalker!pop!
Heehee freckly social worker. And this is Vladimir.
HOLY CRAP. I know you're sad and everything but you have the best sad face ever. *snorgle* (and no eyebrows?)
Bilbo is just awesome every day.
Oh. Wait. I lied earlier, superfluous nanny came for this promotion too. And Bilbo is sucked in to the nannies sucking vortex of suck.
Luckily it's a birthday for both of the toddler girls.
Dorcas.
And... we'll get to Lydia-Damaris if she doesn't die.
Ha. Yeah. I don't blame you, Bilbo.
But you don't have much choice, because you autonomously seeded her with this one a while back.
Another girl! Super pale. Georgianna.
Well color me surprised.
Seriously?
Okay. Well. I checked and it came for Bruce. Who probably was doing great this past week.
Eglantine managed to hold on to her job though she never went the whole time she was a vampire.
Bilbo got his lifetime want! Like that! Like, I hardly put in an effort at all. Bam!
Wait a minute. Bilbo? Uh. Where did he go? Is that his ring floating there?
Uh. Yeah.
So... Bilbo "watched" Bruce blow out her candles that evening...
so that there would be a teenager at home to watch the kids while Eglantine was at work...
So I could see if going to a community lot would fix him (I had to use the phone since he wasn't there to click on) and it did! So nice to see you, Bilbo.
Financial situation is kind of dire, especially since it shouldn't be because, I mean, Bilbo just got a to the top of a career-type promotion! But, no money for expansions, Lydia spent the night on the balcony. With roaches. And her baby brother. This is a great home, they need more children clearly.
Like Aida, here. Look, Aida, someone left a rotten bottle out for you!
Some sort of normalcy, though I still hadn't managed to find the time to give Eglantine a less vampiric hairstyle.
Way to say the magic word, Bilbo. (He's not even partial grilled cheese at this point!) But no trying for baby, thank goodness.
Since he came for Bruce, I let her have the first wish.
What could a gorgeous girl like yourself want?
Cos she's romance and all.
Oh no! I... have no idea what happened here...
Lest you think the household is a fluffy cloud of awesome happyness funtimes mcgee.
Vladimer doesn't smell nearly as delicious as grilled cheese.
Oh hey crazy Bruce's lifetime want.
Eglantine really wants to know why they can't just stick candles into that platter of grilled cheese, is all.
Oh look, it's all of the heirable girls in one shot.
Toddler face is so deceptive. I promise. (Georgianna!)
Not many cameos this time, just a little one from
