Pinkington Palace, 2.04
You know what's good parenting? Letting your young child out late at night to go fishing for fish that are almost as long as she is tall.
And then fight for rocks with her. And snatch them up before she can!
Veronica: This is so not what I signed up for.
(brave, clumsy, dislikes children, snob)
Annemarie grew up!
Veronica does this. A. LOT. She is her very favourite thing.
Esmerelda also had a birthday, and Veronica does not like the hair.
Bitsy: I'm gonna scare the stuffing right outta that maid...mmm stuffing.
Bitsy: RAHHHHH!
Maid: ARMAGADS!!
Maid: I CANNOT WORK LIKE THIS!!
Oh hey, Melodie grew up too! I'll need to update the family trees. Oy.
Ian: So, uh, you're pregnant? Makes your boobs look GREAT.
NIKITA IS PREGNANT. WITHOUT MY INTERVENTION. Apparently the game does this to keep the population going.
I got there in time, too, because she went into labour not long after.
Tabitha: This is going to be awesome for my career.
And they immediately ran to the hospital before I could do anything.
And even better - Tabitha is the other parent! WOO GAME. YEAH.
Ivan (Bartlby's son) doesn't look too happy. Maybe it's the hair.
I couldn't find my sim's son, and it turned out that Aron moved in with the Alvi brothers. Should I be worried with how the old men are eyeing off the handsome young man?
Sabrina also grew up, and she is NOT amused.
Random Burglar: I love wearing a mask. No one knows who I am!
The interviews begin!
Writing articles on teenagers is much more fun on your rabbity computer.
Betty: IT'S GOING TO EAT ME!!! WAIT. I'M GOING TO EAT IT. NOM NOM NOM.
Veronica: I can't stand children, and I can't stand childish behaviour. I outgrew it, why can't you?
Jennie (Gertie's daughter) got a makeover too!
Esmerelda: It's so fun to have something growing IN MAH BELLEH.
I DID NOT AUTHORISE THIS WOMB DUMPLING! There were no chimes. NONE. BAH. On regular woohoo too!
Man, everyone's growing up. Betty turned out fiiiiiiiiine.
(couch potato, loner, loves the outdoors, bookworm)
Though she tries to lure Sabrina astray, hah.
It didn't work, and Sabrina ran off to do her homework straight away.
~pretty~
Esmerelda took off for the chess game at the beach, and everyone else was crowded around trying to cook. They didn't finish cooking, though, and left trays all over the place.
And they left the food on the grill...but no one could eat it, so they left it there, cooking indefinitely.
Halfway through the game, Ian got up and left. Without conceding defeat. WTH?
Also, note the food on the ground. THERE ARE BINS, PEOPLE.
I noticed Annemarie running home late at night, and was thrilled to see Kate's ghost out and about. That's the first time I've seen one of their ghosts!
While peeking through people's windows, I saw Bartlby come home (in his limo!) and immediately start fighting with Ivan. Meanie poo :(
Abraham wasn't in the mood for some ghost-on-ghost loving, much to Bitsy's dismay.
Bitsy: FINE. I'll just eat this hot dog instead. HMPH.
...
You're a bit too excited about a ladybug, Micah!
ORLY?
This was not long after I installed the Indiestone Mod.
Amelia: These losers have no money! I could buy this shack with my pocket money.
It's a PINKINGTON/ROBERTS EXPLOSION at the park.
Oh man, I was so happy to see Rosemarie using the toddler table. This was the first time a non-controlled toddler played there!
Esmerelda: So, Frida, what's it like to be a ghost?
Frida: It's pretty cool, though I'm a terrible liar. People see straight through me.
Jennie: MWAHAHA I ate the last hot dog!
Inigo: GDI JENNIE.
While Es flips the dogs, Tabitha turns up, and she and Frida then begin their synchronised twinning. They did EVERYTHING the same. Walking, posing, sitting. CREEPY.
Inigo: I AM SO HUNGRY. IF ONLY THERE WAS FOOD.
Nikita: I am a whale! BELUUUUUUUUUUUGAA.
This makes me laugh far more than it should.
This family is so messed up. I mean, Es is telling Jennie about the afterlife as she knows it (which we know has nothing to do with reality, which is pretty messed up to start with), and Holly looks like she's tripping on something.
Sabrina doesn't like Annemarie much.
Veronica: Why oh why must I be forced to reside with these...these...plebs? I'm above this, really, I am. I need to get out of her as soon as possible! Now, eligible bachelors who don't want children...let's list them...
If you can't find Betty, look for a lake, and there she'll be.
I felt bad about my sim only have two kids, so I went to visit her.
And she adopted two boys, Owen and Sam. And AFTER I adopted them, I remembered that her LTW was to raise them from babies to teens, so giving her two more kids didn't help any.
AND THEN. GDI ESMERELDA.
I got the pop up that Es had given birth. In the THREE HOURS I was away from her house, she had to have her baby. And they named her Crissy. SIGH. She's excitable and artistic.
I almost renamed her Jughead out of spite.
That's not an attractive look, me. WHY the shirts don't meet the pants on fat people, I don't understand. BUT yay for Jason autonomously teaching his daughter how to talk!!
I've had heaps of popups of new people moving into town, and these are the Arringtons. They look snobby.
I didn't want the unauthorised baby around as a baby, so Bitsy sped things up for me.
Crissy: Whoa. Headrush!
That's better.
Christian: I'm not letting any man around here dip his quill in MY ink just yet, you know. I mean, mother would kill me, and dad will flip out, but that's not the point.
Christian: I want to wear white on my wedding day, and I'm going to ride a unicorn down the aisle, and everyone will be able to see how pure I am! Amelia's probably gonna shimmy down wearing tassels and feathers at hers, if you get what I'm saying.
Betty: Uh...huh.
LOL. HOW is he gonna manage that??
I'd also reinstalled when I put the Indiestone Mod in, and this made me realise I'd forgotten the censor blur. I guess the other hacks stopped the blur for the shower and bath time, but not for toilet time.
Veronica: I wonder if Mr Smith is single...he's quite handsome, for a teacher.
Veronica: Did I say that out loud?
Betty: If you look in the bins you're only gonna find garbage, V.
Veronica: ...what?
Hey Es, playing in public toilets now?
I tweaked the park again, this time adding foosball tables, a stereo, and I changed the shade over the toddler area to a fence, because it was bothering me.
I do find it amusing when the objects and textures take their time to catch up with me. That's Es, playing some foosball.
And she is making this face a LOT. Like she's really pissed off with me about something.
Betty ended up visiting Christian after school, and opted to raid their bookshelves, rather than talk to her cousin.
And Veronica serenaded her uncle and his sister-in-law instead of hanging with Ivan.
Default skin replacements! Looking good Mr KotterMarmaduke.
Marmaduke: And they keep bringing all these sick people to me! And they're bleeding and making horrible noises, and they make me fix them! It's horrible!
Betty: Do you want to be a doctor or a boo-boo fixer, Uncle Marmaduke? Because you're sounding pretty wimpy right now, and boo-boo fixers don't earn that much.
Lots of skilling going on here! Micah and Betty are reading up on various things to land some opportunities, while Bitsy is just catching up on the local gossip.
Veronica's plans of meeting a handsome, single, rich scientist would
probably work better during the day, but she doesn't mind waiting.
CONSTANTLY.
I was hoping that the pubic hair would match his head hair, but it doesn't. Though it might match the roots, I'm not sure. Hmm.
I am also tempted to get the penis hack, hah.
Patrice fought with death?
Oh, Bitsy, this made me love you more. Autonomous fish feeding!
I don't know about you, but I don't think you'd find me that close to the water if I knew sharks were there!
I love how other sims turn up where your sim does. These guys came to read the paper and argue.
Gotta have that baby in the box moment!
Freaky eyes lead to sexing. Just so you know.
Awww *squishes*
Took your time!
My sim came over to pick up her stereo, and stayed for cake. She doesn't care that Sabrina's having a birthday.
Self!sim: DID YOU SAY CAKE??
Looking goood.
Bitsy: I like dragons.
Freaky eyes only lead to sex when Es does it, Micah.
Sabrina doesn't conform.
Esmerelda: OH MY GOD WHERE DID THAT PEE COME FROM??
Uh, your bladder, Es. Now clean it up. I mean, they have TWO toilets, and no one was using either of them!
Firstly, thanks to whoever made that wonderful secret about me in this week's simsecret!! It really means a lot to me to see something like that.
I don't remember if I posted in here, but I came fifth out of that Sims 3 competition (that website I kept pimping), so YAY! Thanks to everyone who supported my page! I won the collector's edition, which means I now have a very fancy plumbbob 2g flash drive.
I do apologise for the gap between updates. Things are quite stressful for me at the moment, and I haven't felt like simming much. I'm probably going to be moving in the next few weeks (if I can find a place!), and I don't know how long it'll be before I get the net put on if that happens and stress stress stress. I haven't given up on simming at all, it's just been a really bad few weeks. So getting that secret now is extra lovely. It's nice to be appreciated!
I hope to have more updates soon! And the family tree has also been updated.
