Last time! Cordelia started her little farm and made reasonable progress with it, contracted plant!simism and courted and married Tiger Rooney (by
katu_sims).
Cordelia knows how to cater a good time! Instant meals for all! Including Integar Exploration (by
smustleparty)
The addition of cookies make it a roof raiser for Clue (by
charterzard)
Tiger is having such a good time!
Consumate that marriage!
A really truly first woohoo.
Winter is coming on quick, but Cordelia wanted to get some crops in the ground anyway. We can NOT afford a greenhouse, though. :(
Cordelia enjoying the sweet joys of morning sickness, Tiger completely obliviously watching a movie.
He's well aware of her morning sickness later when I make him clean it up, though. :)
A frozen popsicle. Heeheehee.
Tiger decides to focus on digging for treasure, since he doesn't get to be a game designer like he wants. He pays for groceries and so forth by selling rocks and bones. No treasure chest yet!
Cordelia is perfect. She gets so excited about trimming the hedges!
I'll have you know I'm running out of kawaii .gifs to cover up their nudity.
And winter hits their little farm.
It's okay, though, she's got something growing inside to attend to.
She took a hike in the snow and came back with poison ivy. <.<
Looking a little cold and a little bit too happy about her labor pains.
Once again, Tiger is strangely oblivious, scrubbing the burnished steel countertop with a sponge like he's making a work of art as Cordelia swings the new arrival out of her plumbob.
It's a boy! I sat for a moment, looking at the box that contained the words "Baby Boy" drawing a blank, and then decided that this generation is gonna be Next Generation in theme, and his name, his name is Jean-Luc.
& Tiger put down his sponge long enough to cheer this newborn sprogling who carries all of his coloring genetically.
& he also really manned up when it came to the childcare, since poor Cordelia was constantly trying to keep the snowed over garden alive and freezing her... stems off.
At some point, it seems, when I was not looking, Tiger had time to make these. Interesting character development!
Jean-Luc! This time around it's Cordelia looking oblivious and bored in the background.
Jean-Luc's personality.
She's clearly got better things to do. But seriously, poor poor pleasure sims caught in the pit of no fun funds. They always want to buy expensive electronic equipment and are constantly teetering on the edge of the red, so when something simple like "juggle bottles" comes up, you have to snap at it quick before they realize a computer would be a lot more fun.
She also wanted to max her nature enthusiasm, so off to the hobby lot she went.
A little bird watching, some tutelage from the nature hobbyist...
Some hydroponics and we've got maxed nature enthusiasm!
& then she went off to buy some clothes for Jean-Luc. She saw Candy Floss (by
engram_au) there.
& Oracle (by
lizbeth120) shopping as well.
Her plaque came in the mail, so that is officially marked off the list.
We couldn't really afford more than one toy. So Charisma seemed the most useful, for the next generation, ahem.
Pole beans!
Tiger is on potty duty.
Cucumbers accomplished!
Strawberries!
Time to try to get a girl into the family. :)
Jean-Luc is not interested in this "talking" business.
Still trying!
Bell peppers!
More trying. Sigh. This time there were jingles, though!
Pregnant once more, and with almost all of the plants taken care of for the time being (still no eggplant, lemon or apples!) she focused on teaching Jean-Luc to walk.
He was a little more interested in this than talking.
Ishara (by
keoni_sims) stealing the paper.
Who needs the paper, anyway? Jean-Luc learned to walk!
Oh man. And his name is Tigger. <3
Seriously, this is also cute. I want a skunk. In my legacy...
EEEEE! they got to be friends but it wasn't enough to get Tigger moved in. :(
After the kitty snuggles, she popped in the garden, whee!
Yay! I got new defaults and now she has her eyes back. Thanks to everyone who left suggestions about this. <3
Jean-Luc still resists talking.
...
While Cordelia and Tiger were getting busy, Jean-Luc transitioned to child, without a cake. Because we can not afford cake. We're not made of money, or cake, or cake money, Jean-Luc!
Jean Luc immediately began doing the dishes. Excellent.
Cordy spends most nights studying cooking under the sunlamp.
Lightning struck the tree out front. Oh well, the rain will put it out, thought I.
But it just grew and grew, and then the rain stopped!
As she was putting her book away so that she could call the fire department, she had her second pop. So dramatic!
& they lectured her for calling when there wasn't an emergency.
We can't afford CAKE! We can't afford THAT. Only we could just barely. Now we are broke. And have a permanently flaming tree out front. Which doesn't bring as much money as you might think.
Duke is the Leader of the Pack, and I just can't resist him.
Unfortunately he is a dick.
Lemons! Apples! Now ALL we need is eggplant!
Jean-Luc came home from school and waved at his papa. It's a cute thing.
Tiger then schooled him in schoolings.
Laboring by the smoking flames of the tree that the fireman says isn't an emergency. Y'know. It's normal.
It's another boy. His name is Lore.
Hoping to avoid further pregnancies, Cordy spawned a plant baby!
Barclay (ooooor broccoli!!) another boy. So. That didn't work. But I got to have a Broccoli, so I'm happy with him. :D
Lore is still a teeny thing. So cute.
So I decided to let Cordelia live out the rest of her adult years as a normal old yellow alien type person.
Sweet name for the gypsy.
Suis (by
bbyclawz) walked by.
Cordelia bought herself some potion, Jean-Luc went out to greet Suis and the tree flamed on.
Normalcy reacquired.
The boys played tag.
&
*crash!*
I hadn't saved since before Lore was born. :(
Confirmation. :(
So I sort of sped through the replay. It was another boy and I named him Lore too. We pretend nothing happened! It was just a rift in space and time.
& save frequently!
Roaches eeerg.
After the roach fiasco Cordelia thought about how much she hates that firewoman while looking at the flaming tree in the front yard.
Spawning another plantbaby since we lost the last one.
Oh, another boy! Another Barclay/Broccoli, PHEW!
OH. And I have
bondchick_nett's Liberty Martin Ideal Plantsim replacement in my game. :)
& we drink some more potion to de-plant.
CRASH.
But I had saved right before it crashed and nothing was lost, so they got to trying for some girl baby action. Not much time left as an adult!
Cordelia is unsure how to deal with this baby thing, Tiger did most of the heavy lifting with Jean-Luc.
Barclay charismas under the sunlamp all the times of the day.
Except when he's getting water and love from his stepdaddy Tiger.
Lore's Birthday!
">
Lore's personality. He's practically evil. So perfect, yay!
I feel really, really lucky that the replay went pretty much exactly like the original. I don't think I've ever had that happen! One of the few things I'm sad to lose from the lost time was Jean-Luc's burgeoning friendship with Suis. :( Hopefully he'll walk by again!
Objective type stuff:
8/9 plants grown!
Nature Enthusiasm maxed.
Gold Gardening badge.
Married without premarital woohoo.
Never had a regular job.
Optional:
Became Plantsim.
So all I need is a baby girl and an eggplant! If we can ever afford putting in a pond, I'll have Tiger work on fishing type stuff.
