dalek awesomesauce reboot² : 2.6 - In bloom
What's this? Another update? THE SAME DAY??
Don't get used to it.
Warning: Swearing, spam, visible UI, compressed text boxes, randomly different sized images (because photoshop batch automate is selectively compliant, I guess), and 99 images
Featuring sims by: boolpropbea , and brilliantcat
Recap: Last time, Plum and Xanthic by boolpropbea got, promoted, engaged, AND pregnant! Xanthic was a skilling fiend and Gen Purple spare Aubergine stopped by a couple of times to make friends with Xanthic and become best friends with poppa Cerulean. Right as Aubergine peaced out, Plum's...water...broke? His spectral caesarian started? HE'S GIVING BIRTH, you get it.
Panic! Mayhem! Baby on the way!
HERE HE IS! Everyone meet the first member of Generation Black: Baby Jet!
He has Plum's coloring (brown hair and eyes) and the following personality:
5.9.7.3.1
Translation: Neither neat nor sloppy, very outgoing, relatively active, very serious, and extremely mean (just like Plum 😢).
And, with the first gen black baby, here is a reminder of the gen black rules:
Generation Three
Color: Black
Challenge: Extreme Failure
Black is dark and moody. Black is the absence of light and thus loneliness. Black is fail, at least for the sake of this challenge. Last generation was all about giving your sims everything they ever want. This generation what they want doesn’t matter…it’s all about their fears. And sibling rivalry and discord???? THE MORE THE BETTER!!!!
* May only fulfill fears
* Sim may not get dream job until they get to the top of the “opposite” career path
Example: Wants Top of Dance: Must Reach Top of Military
Use your best judgments for which are opposites
Must do this even if your sim has a career related LTW
* Heir must be a Black Sheep*
Black Sheep, for the sake of this challenge, is described is the sim with lowest relationship with their parents/siblings
When they hit their teen/adult years they “rebel” and choose to become something supernatural (werewolf, vampire, plantsim, etc.)
Poor dears. Luckily, babies don't have wants or fears. So Jet gets a reprieve, for now.
Core memory created.
Xanthic putting Jet to bed for the night. They are finally getting to use that nursery en suite.
Plum wakes up early and decides after all that hard work yesterday, what he really needs is more strenuous exercise. Lol, okay dude. Whatever makes you happy.
I would say that he is trying to get that Soccer bod back, but honestly it only left intermittently.
Anyway, back on that grind.
Grandpa Cerulean gets to help out with baby Jet while Plum is at work.
Xanthic, back on his bullshit.
Interesting though. With all this mechanical mania, we are actually halfway towards getting that tinkering plaque we need.

* Must have all 10 Hobby Plates by the end of the legacy
Sooo...I bought him a car to work on!
Don't worry about the baby, Xanthic. This car is your baby now!
All these hobby lots are horny for my sims. I might visit one...maybe...one day...probably not.
Plum's back. No promotion on the first day off of paternity leave, understandable.
And on Plum's way in the door, he tagged Xanthic out (not that either of them are actually taking care of Jet right now).
Uhhh...sidewalk?
WELP. I mean....yeah. That's fair.
Aww, dude. I'm sorry.
Oh no! Aspiration failure!
Okay, he's back on his feet. Let's do something nice for him.
Well, we aren't buying you a car. But why don't you work on the car you already have for a bit, and we'll see about making some special plans for tomorrow...
Cerulean, you are such a good parent grandparent. Thanks for picking up the slack, my dude.
Next day and Xanthic is still struggling. Let's see if we can't do something about that.

* Your heir must have a wedding party
Let's do this!
The backyard is all prepped.
Guys, maybe wait for some guests? No? We are just going straight in?
Alright, you got it.
Oh hey look! There are some people here. Mama Ondott by brilliantcat and Wisteria (Plum's twin).
Oh, and Brenda is here too.
Cake time!
Plum goes and catches up with Brenda.
Who immediately ditches him. Classic.
And Xanthic is out here eating his wedding cake all alone!
Look, Cerulean, I get it. Being the primary caretaker of a newborn is tough. But, it's your son's wedding! Maybe make a bit of an effort? You are a family sim after all, I would think you would take this more seriously.
Also, what a weird place to cut a cake. Bottom up? What?
Time for toasts!
Ugh, sure Plum. I guess the Cuisine enthusiasm makes sense in this context. A little odd though.
What cuties.
That's, uh, a unique way to hold a baby.
Cerulean has apparently taken umbrage at my chastisement of him earlier and decided that it is someone else's turn to take care of Jet.
He then immediately proceeds to pee on the baby. Someone help this man.
Well, despite that catastrophic finale, it appears that the wedding party was a success!
Plum and Xanthic disapprove of Cerulean's caretaking but, rather than actually doing anything about it, they instead sprint away to their honeymoon.
I don't know about you, but gen black appears to be off to a promising start.
You are irresponsible parents. Have fun!
Thankfully, Ondott was able to look after baby Jet while Cerulean cleans himself up and gets the rest he needs.
A short while later, Plum and Xanthic come back and immediately decide to invade the hot tub.
Wait, I'm sorry. WHAT? The Dalek family doesn't count as rich?
Whatever, man. I tried.
An inauspicious start to trying for baby #2, talking about my husband. The disrespect.
Anyway, after multiple attempts, we did get the chimes again.
Jet is hurtling towards the misery ahead. For what it's worthy, I apologize in advance.
Oh, of course you would.
Fine, here you go.
I'll think about it. Maybe for baby #3.
Xanthic gets to put in more work on his hobby. The car is still looking a little rough, my dude. Keep at it.
Alright! Let's take a look.
Just want I wanted. Bad vibes all around.
Yeay! Spectral familiar unlocked!
I don't think I actually read these at the time. But this is definitely on my to-do list.
Baby #2 confirmation!
Oof. Game mad. We are going to have to put a pin in it.
Aaand that was the last for that play session. I normally play in large chunks, so it will likely be a while before the next one. See you in 2024! Lol.
