Gaggle of Cities Part 2
Now for another update on the WYDC.
From where we left off, Karen just graduated college and is settling down in Desiderata Valley, where she’ll have lots and lots of babies. Let’s get this started, shall we?
Once I built the house, which I won’t bother to show for the time being, I had Karen greet Forest. However, I can’t move him in yet despite their engagement status because the rules state that I could move in the husband once the oldest kid becomes a child and no earlier than that. Oh, well. But this visit wasn’t in vain.
As you can see, they are going to woohoo each other so that child A could be born. Took a few tries in this case, though.
Tyler Fuchs! *hissssssssss*
“What?”
I still don’t like you for the lousy date. However, I need enough money for the Grim Reaper to show up first.
Awwww…… Isn’t this sweet of Forest?
*barfs a bit* “What is this feeling?”
Wait and see, my dear. Wait and see.
A few days later, this finally happened. I’m excited.
“OOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!! This isn’t fun at all!”
Well, it is to me. Get used to it.
After a few screams, baby A is finally born! And it’s a boy. In keeping with the naming theme I’ve planned for this challenge, the kids will be named after cities. In this case, the baby’s name is Alexandria after Alexandria, Egypt. I know it sounds girlish, but I can’t think of a better choice. Oh, well. XD
And then Karen got back into business and called her zombie pal Owen Hendrix, who currently serves as one of the placeholders back in the Greek house she founded. I know it’s impossible for zombies to procreate without the use of cheats, but at least I have the Tombstone of Life and Death safely tucked in this lot. In other words, baby B is on the way.
At some point, Alex will grow up into a toddler, so I bought the family a counter and a birthday cake for the mini-ceremony.
And here he is. He’s so adorable!
Anyway, Alexandria’s a Pisces (3/4/7/4/7). This means he might not mind a lot of mess in this house but may brood a bit about his life. His nice points might balance it out a bit, though.
Poor Karen. Once Alex grew up, she suddenly collapsed and passed out. This is definitely going to be a rough challenge.
With a tanked mood like this, she ended up having nightmares. Poor girl.
It’s finally time for baby B to be born. Can’t wait to see it.
It’s a girl with her father’s brown hair. Anyway, her name’s Bandung after my own hometown back in Indonesia. :P
Again, it gets worse thanks to my stupid playing skills.
Anyway, after a few days later, it was Bandung’s turn to grow up into a toddler.
And here she is! She’s a Gemini (3/7/8/4/4), pretty much like her mother.
Basically, this is the only skill Alex managed to learn so far as a toddler. His mother is always in a bad mood, and potty training itself is very hard as well. Ugh! I need to save some money for an extra counter to put smart milk on.
Heh, it’s nice to see some random walk-byes playing with Bandung. So cute!
“What are you doing here?”
“Look, you greeted me, so I came here to play with your kids. Mind if I watch your son grow up?”
“Okay, then.”
And… Bam! Alex is now a kid. So cute!
Awww… poor Alex had to grow up in such a weird outfit. But he’s so adorable that I want to pinch his cheeks!
On another note, it’s time to get Karen and Forest hooked up together. These transition clothes… can only make me wince. But don’t worry; I’ll fix this.
“Great. Thanks!”
“Aieeeee!!!!!! What have I gotten myself into?! This house isn’t even complete yet, and you expect me to live in here? Why is my life so lousy?”
Okay, okay. It’s basically my fault that you have to end up in a pig sty like this, but things will improve if you bring in the money, okay?
Oh, and he brought in only $226 and his diploma into the house. *facepalm*
At least they got hitched, which is the more important thing.
“Can we just skip this entire party already? I’m so sleepy that I need some privacy around here.”
No can do. Think of the guests.
“Oh, really? Then how come they’re not here?”
Ummm…
Apparently, they’re just too focused on Bandung that they pretty much missed the actual event. Shame on them! Or maybe they’re just too preoccupied with the current state of the house, which is rather dull.
On another note, the party managed to end with a roof raiser even though I couldn’t afford a wedding cake. That must be something! Sadly, the newlyweds didn’t have a honeymoon because they’re basically too dirt poor to afford a real honeymoon trip. Besides, Bandung’s too young to come, anyway. I might make up for it later, though.
On another note, I forgot to mention that once I got Karen to join the Secret Society, I had her buy some expensive stuff for her Greek house, but I forgot to bring most of them to the main lot except for this TV. >.< I’ll just sell this TV because I can handle the cheap TV for the time being.
Didn’t I mention that the wedding took place when Alex was at school? The poor kid missed his parents’ wedding for crying out loud! D: I also need to have Forest find a job so that he can bring in the cash. Paranormal would do for now.
Since Karen’s mood is often in the red thanks to her pregnancy and the house’s condition, I had to order her to use the energizer whenever her aspiration’s gold or platinum. This is very hard to achieve, so here’s hoping I get a genie someday.
I was pretty surprised that even children can teach toddlers the nursery rhyme, so I had Alex do that to his sister. That was an awesome sight.
At some point, the TV had become a nuisance, so I built an extra wall to divide it from the rest of the house and put the TV in the new room. That way, my sims don’t have to worry about getting waken up from the noise of the TV.
Anyway, off to create the next baby while Forest goes to work, so Aaron Wilder gets to volunteer. Let’s just say that he’s the college student babydaddy, what with being a dormie and all.
After a few failed attempts, Karen is finally pregnant with baby C.
Er… yeah. By the time the nanny was done with her schedule, she stole the fridge because we couldn’t afford to pay her. Not fair! Forest brought in enough money to pay her, and she still had to do this? Grrr…
“So… you’re my son, huh? No wonder you have my lips. Or is it your mom’s.”
“Hehe. Funny, dad.”
“Hey, how come you have brown hair instead of red or blonde hair? At least you’re adorable, though.”
“Ugh! Why do you have to throw up on my face?”
“Yay! Dada funee!”
At long last, I finally got a genie lamp! That way, I can have Karen boost her mood and have her get pregnant with the genie’s child.
“Hey, what are you doing out here? And why are you so stinky?”
“Momy luk stinkeeuh!”
Oh, boy. *rolls eyes*
Since the need to make more money had gotten more desperate, I had Alex sell some lemonade as a means to get more income. Fun fact: I set it to ridiculously expensive. XD
Now this is when I had a bit of bad luck. You see, Forest was potty training Bandung, but for some reason, the nanny decided that it would be a good idea to glitch up my game and prevented the training to end. Coincidentially, Bandung was almost done by the time I had to grow her up to child.
Here is Bandung all kiddified. Not bat, I should say.
But because of the stupid nanny glitch of doom, she ended up having a wee bit accident. I really should think twice before letting a nanny loose in my house next time.
Unfortunately, Forest still remained glitched as he thought he was still potty training his stepdaughter despite the fact that she had just grown up already. After following some instructions on the Internet, I used moveobjects on, deleted him, exited the household with saving, and finally got him back by the mailbox. That was a relief, but grrr… evil nanny grrr…
This is just too unhealthy for a kid like Alex. I know that his fun was often in the red, but him playing computer games at night made me worry a lot.
Since Bandung has a want to make a wish with the genie lamp, I had her wish for peace of mind to brighten up her mood. However, she ended up passing out, which caused her to lose some aspiration points in the process. Bummer.
I think I love showing how Karen can be a good mother despite all that mayhem in the household. Definitely a nice break from all that chaos they (and I as well) had to go through.
On a weirder note, reading Man Maid Lust to your kid is something I seriously wouldn’t do at all. Switch to something else, Karen!
“I can’t. This is the only book in the house because you got rid of the bookshelf.”
Right, but that doesn’t excuse you at all.
“Hey, do you know about that lovely walk-by who came in our house a some point?”
Forest, don’t say that in front of your own family!
With that, let’s see the birth of baby C, shall we?
Or you want to know how the house looks like? Brace yourself, then.
Er… yeah. I somehow made a mistake by building a rather huge house at first rather than a small house that can be quickly replaced by a bigger one as time flies by. I’ll fix this in the near future, though.
Well, I guess that’s it for this update. Stay tuned for the next one.
