(If you didn't read Gen. 1, scroll down and at least read the disclaimer about why the graphics in this update suck.)
(120+ pics, the usual amount of naughty language and uncreative commentary, and lots and lots of poking.)
So when we left off, May and Dominic had just had their first child, Luke. He's got all of May's genetics, of course.
But he's cute as hell.
The food he's swooning over is both rotting, and across the room, but hey...
Bath time!
Dominic is an EXCELLENT dad. Probably one of the best I've ever played.
And he's a total hottie, too.
...Who can't dance, to save his freakin' life.
But hey, May doesn't seem to care!
Totally accidental random pause moment #1!
Totally accidental random pause moment #2!
Okay, so maybe I take that back...
Mmm, eating cereal on the couch in your underwear at 3am, yeah, we're not stoned at all.
Birthday!
So, apparently, for some reason, this is about the time where I start getting really lame on the picture taking front. This is Luke Post-Makeover. I hate his hair, but I only had a couple toddler hairs at the time, and this was the least awful.
Dominic: Uh oh...I hear my wife throwing up...I hope it wasn't because of all the sex we've been having...
Oh yes, Dominic, yes it is. Mwahaha.
Potty training, of course.
Oh come on, you didn't think I was gonna do this the hard way, did you? Yay for the cheesecake cheat!
The Picture-void strikes again, and this is one of the few pregnant pics of May I took. *smacks self*
Again, totally autonomous!
Of course, if he'd just leave the damned toddler in the crib he just put him in instead of playing with him and keeping him in motive failure all night...
Awww... Okay, you're forgiven, Dominic.
MOAR BIRTHDAY!
Ugh... Get to the mirror boy!
Well, it's...an improvement, I guess...
And check out May with her giant belly in the background!
"You're going to make me gay, aren't you?"
Sorry, kiddo, I think you're well on your way to that path all by yourself... *pats the little girly-boy*
Luke, as socially retarded as his mother, heads upstairs to chat online and hopefully make some friends.
And then he goes and cleans the bathroom. While the maid is here.
Fire!!! And the first one of this legacy, I believe!
Luke, meanwhile, attempts to start a fire of his own.
Baby time! In the bathroom no less.
Again, I sucked at taking pics of them, but she had twins, a boy and a girl. Both, again, got all of her genetics.
Um, May? You might want to set down the baby and, ya know, call the fire department? Maybe?
Luke comes home from school and immediately passes out on the sidewalk. Nice. Not like your bed is right inside the house or anything...
May takes matters into her own hands and fixes the broken sink, since the repairman wouldn't come until the next day.
"My wife is so stupid...I knew we should have adopted. The kids don't stand a chance, with those genes."
The first signs of what a truly rotten little bastard Luke will turn out to be. Laughing at his dad who's passed out on the bathroom floor after an exhausting day taking care of babies.
Birthday time! This is Xen.
Xen Fiend
4/3/4/6/9
And after a makeover, this is his sister Xev on the floor there.
Xev Fiend
4/4/4/4/9
There's no pics of it, but both Xen and Luke were totally OBSESSED with the toddler mirror, and gained like 2-3 body skill points a piece with it. That's Xen after his makeover. Sadly, no pics were taken of him. I'll have to make it up to him in his college days.
I have no idea what this is about, but Luke was mad as hell at Dominic for a while.
What would a legacy be without warping the children?
Oh, and talking about death as a mood setter.
More birthdays!
Xev and May do this, like, ALL the freaking time.
So, it's night, almost everyone is asleep, and I hear the swing out back going. I take a look and see some random townie out there on it, at like 2am!
Uh oh! Here comes May! What will she do? Start a poking war? Kick some random townie ass? Tell her to leave?
She...she....pushes her on the swing? What? Goddamnit, May...
Luke is incredibly unpleasant to just about everyone. It's no surprise, he's only got one nice point, but still. And I hate that hair Xen has, but again, I was at a total loss for cute hair and wanted the kids to be all spooky looking, so... Yeah.
Birthdays, you know the drill...
Enjoy looking all pseudo-buff, there, darlin', cause it ain't gonna last.
I drew numbers out of a bag and he got Knowledge, which fits him. He spent a lot of time reading the paper as a kid, and all. But the turn ons... Tell me that's not fate, right there.
After a makeover, Luke heads down to Cafe Creep to scope out the potentials.
And, ya know, talk about death.
So I made some shirts for the kids around this time and was using another lot to take some pics of them, and was able to amp my graphics settings to high (albeit not very wonderful graphics because of my lack of a real video card) and take some pics of the family. This is, of course, Xev. And once again, I totally forgot to take a pic of Xen. Poor kid.
We're all shocked, aren't we? hehe
Woah, okay, this one did kind of surprise me. But then I started to discover that ALL my sims were autonomously attracted to males unless I specifically had them flirt with females, so.. Who knows.
Fail and win, all in one picture!
In an effort not to have to see her parents doing it again, Xev breaks her own neck!
Maid skintone change #3!
Honestly, I can't tell if this is the same s4 tone I'm using now, or a different one. Either way, I think it looks lovely, but it's sort of driving me crazy trying to figure it out! I knew I should have made a note of what defaults I was using...
Way to go, Dominic!
May had a change of hairstyle, but I'm not so sure I like it. Aren't they cute though? Dominic is so much more full of awesome than Cole, it's not even funny.
And it looks like he's passed on the Awesome Gene, because Luke starts being pretty full of win himself, here.
So, if you haven't been paying attention, I townified all my spooky, unnatural eyesets. I like them, I usually use them when I make my own sims, so I figured, hey, Townies should get them too! This also helps in how I decide what sims should be vampires. For instance, any sim that gets this creepy-as-fuck yellow cat-eye, gets insta-vamped! We'll see this chick again later, don't worry.
Luke gets at least one more hair-change after this, before the update is over.
Flirting it up at Cafe Creep.
This happens so often it's kind of creepy.
See??
However, Luke finds a way to be a little asshole and starts several poking wars and slap-fights.
If he wasn't so damned pretty, I'd be inclined to just shove him in the college bin and forget all about him.
"How dare you try to hug me!"
"Sometimes I feel like there's this strange, god-like presence, watching everything I do..."
What? Oh, um, that's nothing. Go back to your coffee. Nothing to see here. Stop looking at me, damnit! It really creeps me out!
He'll find a way to piss off even the nicest sims, I swear...
See?
Ooh, it's on now!
Check out Luke back there, he's ready to brawl! I didn't even know sims would do that, punch their hands together like that!
Told ya she'd be back!
Luke, um, they have people paid to do that, ya know...
Luke can't dance either, but then, look who his parents are.
Back home, it's birthday time!
Hey, a pic of Xen, finally!
Xen rolled Romance, Le Sigh. And his turn on's are fat redheads. Turn off? Black hair. Poor Xen, he's just doomed to be in the background.
And a crappy one of Xev.
She rolled popularity, and her turn on's are formalwear and full face makeup. Yeesh. Turn off? Makeup. That doesn't even make SENSE! So, yeah, obviously she'll be drinking that Renu-You shit in college.
Xev, after her makeover.
Dominic, there's uh...something not right about your ass.
So here's where Luke gave me a goddamned heart attack until I realized he was just fat. I was terrified that I'd somehow missed him getting knocked up or something, since I did in fact have the inteen installed by this point.
I decided to check out the little grungy diner I made, and this is what I found when I first looked inside it, as the cab pulled up. I don't even want to know what the hell she's doing.
"Um, dad? What the hell are you doing here?"
I tried to send the kids off to the diner, but somehow the whole family tried to go along, which I tried to cancel, but Dominic somehow slipped in there with them.
Luke and Xev amuse themselves while waiting for the cab home.
Good god, no! Just, NO. Find someone else to swoon over, and quick, boy!
Hey, it's
HOG! We haven't seen him since May was still single!
Yuck.
I think HOG likes it rough.
This was inevitable, really.
After this, Luke went home and I sent all the kids off to college. This is pretty much where the borkiness starts, and I had to scrap the entire college update I'd had, because I've had to restore from an old backup. It was pretty amusing, too, so I think I may do a "lost chapter" sort of thing at some point, maybe. In any case, the updates for the Fiend's from here on out will be with the better graphics and such, which is the good thing to come out of the situation. I hope people have enjoyed the Fiend's thus far, as they amuse the hell out of me and I now plan to split my time between them and the Bellamorte's.
