white wedding
Okay, Marina, you can count this as an early Christmas present, I guess. And everybody else (well, and Marina, too) I hope you enjoy!!
-----------------------
(I don't remember how many pictures I've shown everyone before, so you may be seeing some of these for the second time. However I'm sure you don't mind, since my pictures are a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
Advance warning- sometimes my captions are above the pictures, and sometimes they're underneath. Whichever picture(s) they're closest to are the ones they belong with. Hopefully you can figure it out yourselves as you read, but I thought I'd mention that just in case.)
After rescuing Marina from a lifetime of servitude, Claudius... well, if you want to get technical, went through two reinstalls. (And a third this week, but let's not get into that.) If you'd rather not get technical, we'll just skip all that and say that he and Marina first moved into a little lot to get motherloded out the wazoo, and were then moved into Piedmont Cottage. Yes, their behavior here is autonomous. Aww, true love.
First batch of wedding guests, from left-back to right-front: Morgan Fitzhugh, Mordred Fitzhugh, Iris Fitzhugh-Buccaneer, SimDe, Iago Fitzhugh, Vaughn Fitzhugh, Rhys Fitzhugh, Scribonia Caesar, Cassius Marius, SimRobin, Mortimer Goodytwoshoes, Jack Buccaneer, Flavius Marius, Professor Butters-Marius.
Please note which simselves are swooning over romance sims and which simself is thinking chaste thoughts about marriage.
Don't worry, Mordred was swooned over, too. Proving that is, of course, the only reason I included this picture. *chokes back giggles*
Aeriel view of the wedding setup! Having everyone stand was totally deliberate, btw. I so didn't set up chairs and then face the arch the wrong way or anything.
So did you ever wonder what would happen if you had to do two reinstalls, then use inSim to summon a ton of sims to the lot to witness a wedding when most of them didn't even know each other and none of them knew the bride or groom?
Here's what happens: Most of them look on, very emotionlessly. Well, except Mortimer, who takes the opportunity to scope the crowd for attractive wimmenz. (Refer to previous picture). Better be careful with that, darling- Cassius being out to get you for it once was hilarious, but I'm not capable of writing such goodness. Also, you're sort of married now and I don't think that Robin would like it too much. Just a thought.
See? Emotionless. Ignore them and just ooh and aaah over the Celebration Stuff decor.
So what do a crowd of sims do when they're summoned to witness the wedding of two people they don't even know (at least in this neighborhood)? They eat, of course!
They also like to bond with the people that they already know.
And they got to do a bit of bonding with new acquaintances before...
Group Two of the guests!!
Left-right, front-back: simMichelle, Vincentio Fitzhugh, simDenise, simOrikes, simTina, simAaroc, and simBen.
I don't even think that this picture contains everyone. ^^;; Word of warning- do NOT attempt such a gathering unless your computer is awesome. Even mine was lagging somewhat.
They got to know each other whilst watching TV...
And before long there was plenty of swooning and heart-farting going on. (Or nega-heartfarting, in Michelle's case there. I really wonder about her sometimes. :P )
And then, like there wasn't enough lag already, I decided to fulfill Marina's want for a pet. (Note Michelle out the window in the second picture, swooning over Vaughn. Hehehe.)
Kitty tiem! This little ball of adorable is named Roux.
All the guests promptly decided to go greet the feline themselves. Guess who got to it first?
Rhys: You'll be a good little minion, won't you? You won't go crazy and mess up my plans, will you? That's right you won't.
Roux: ... there's somebody crazy here, all right, and it's not me.
(I'm sorry, Marina. You know I take Rhys seriously and everything but dude, look at their expressions! The dialogue writes itself!)
Rhys paid for monopolizing the kitty by sustaining dreadful injuries from going through his own daughter.
While he was off recovering, Flavius took his place.
Flavius: I Met Someone Knew! Now I can Make Friends with you! Soon we can even Become Best Friends!
Hopefully Roux proved to be a good distraction for Flavius after this particular debacle. Why yes, Prof, you did swoon over Aaroc and Mordred simultaneously, and I have a feeling that Cassius there is hoping his dad will take action. Hopefully Cassius won't try to do anything about it all himself- reading about his antics in your legacy is fun and everything, but I have my hands full in Morganland as it is. :P
As they realized that they could not, in fact, all play with/show affection to Roux at the same time, they started to spend time together instead.
At this point the lag was getting on my nerves, so I decided to send everyone home. Think Cassius noticed Rhys heartfarting over me? Nah...
And, once they were gone, Claudius and Marina FINALLY got to spend time with their cat.
Marina: So I'm thinking that we need a toddler around to strangle-hug Roux. Since we're both Knowledge sims, and De has ACR, and we've never gotten to have couch woohoo-
Claudius: WOOHOO!
Needless to say, their first baby (in this 'hood, anyway) is on the way.
And as your ending? It's a Choose Your Own Adventure deal. One ending is sweet, the other humorous. You decide which you prefer:
Claudius is faithful, even in his dreams, or...
LOL SOMEBODY'S KNOCKED UP.
I hope you all enjoyed this collection of images (and the occasional commentary)! After I get the Morgans to generation 4 I'll start playing these two, and this generation's other active simself families (my house and Robin/Mortimer) more extensively. Since I'm also going to have the two non-heir generation three kids (yes, I count Roxy as gen. 3, even if she's not technically in the running to be heir) and probably either Vaughn or Brenna in playtime rotation, I can't keep up with more than 2 extra simself families, so I'll be switching off every generation. This time it's the Caesars and Goodytwoshoes(es?), next time it's the Stilsons and Marians. (That's what I think I'll be doing, anyway.)
