Long time no post. But since I feel like resting and I will work on assignments later. Anyway onwards to Chapter 4.5 - it's halfway of this generation! Although I feel like barely anything has happened. This update is mostly them just ploughing through life.
AUSTEN
So last time: the Austen family is now HUGE, thanks to Cadillac managing to have FOUR sets of twins. So here is everybody in all its glory! We got Cadillac and Derek holding the youngest two Wyoming and Tennessee, the grandparents Trax and Brittany holding Louisiana and Georgia, the kids Michigan and Minnesota, the teenagers North Dakota and Pennsylvania, and their pet dog Basilio.
Update starts with the youngest twins growing up.
But it got interrupted because it was time for Trax to leave :(
Trax your favourites are showing. Still. Money!
I had to rebuy the cakes but Tennessee and Wyoming finally grow up!
Thank goodness it was time for Louisiana and Georgia to grow up too. I don't think I can deal with 4 toddlers in one house.
Georgia did not take the fact that her twin got more inheritance than she did well. Cue the tantrum!
Louisiana on the other hand seems a bit more good natured.
Ohhohoho Georgia you can't fool me.
In the morning Georgia decided to do what ever she fancied, which included not going to school.
And her mom had to drive her to school. What a princess. And it matches her dress too.
More passing down of family knowledge.
That escalated quickly.
Meanwhile Michigan decides to take it slow chilling with the ballet bar.
Well...that also escalated quickly. North Dakota is growing up real fast.
Synchronised grow up sequence! Michigan and Minnesota are now also teens.
A good time to get some new outfits.
Space pirate by day, toilet scrubber by night.
Minnesota playing dirty to win a game of chess.
Michigan is so mad he abandons the game to do his homework.
Seeing as there's nothing else to do Minnesota does the same.
Wyoming and Tennessee grow up! No more toddlersssss
A bit of sibling fun time before
not so fun sibling time. Penny and Nokota being responsible sisters.
And then doing their own homework.
Yeah this update is all about homework because with 8 kids that's basically all I do - get their needs up, homework, SLEEP. When they are all at school...bliss. Anyway, since they are all at school, this is great time to get all eight of them to private school!
Oh no you can't serve that to the headmaster! Race against the clock. Should Derek make another meal which having somebody else drag the house tour for as long as possible, or should he just hope the headmaster is not the most food cultured?
He made it!! Although Cadillac was so worried he would screw up again that she decided to start making another meal just in case..
I don't think Derek was the one I was meant to be worried about...
Minnesota and Derek try to distract the headmaster from the emergency with some small talk.
Headmaster: That was an awesome meal. Thank you so much, I think your kids are lovely. Except for maybe one of them...
This headmaster has incredible insight.
Yay!!.....But what???!
Don't worry it was just a glitch in the game. I don't think it could comprehend having 8 kids go to private school...don't worry Georgia made it too.
Photo proof!
Brittany feels that it was probably a good time to pass down everything in her inventory. Which, if you compress all those pixels, fits nicely in a box.
Impeccable timing.
Clueless Michigan...too distracted by the random hula girls in his house to notice his grandma was dying.
Minnesota and Louisiana again as the favourites...Brittany probably wrote Michigan out of her will at the last second.
Floating urns.
Good time to move them to the cemetery. Bye guys!
HELLER
Last time: Holden remarries after his first wife, Dagmar, dies in mysterious circumstances. His second wife, Joy had an eye on Holden even when he was still with Dagmar. Holden had two sons (Colorado and Oregon) with Joy. His daughter Arizona (one he had with Dagmar) is still around.
After having a rather peaceful update last time, Dagmar's ghost finally shows up. Time for revenge!!
She's warming up by messing with objects. Time to get rekt everybody!
Jokes she doesn't care three straws about anything. Ah man disappointed.
Arizona continues her training. You will never know you need it. Except maybe against a ghost.
Holden and Joy don't seem to have worry about ghostDagmar so business as usual I guess
Arizona:: Aren't you a cute babyyyy that I could easily crush with my bare hands right now...it's so small...little half-brother...
Joy hopes that taking Arizona on shopping trip will calm her sinister thoughts. She also can't resist splurging on herself too.
Also brought Colorado along!
Colorado was playing around with some books in the basement, when the bookshelf moved and revealed a haven of games and fun!! What on earth?! His house is magic!!
Colorado: Hmm..wonder if these cupboards lead to anywhere?
Colorado: There seems to be noise behind this wall...wonder if it's another secret room-ARGH!!!
And that is the end of Colorado's adventures.
Time for Oregon to grow up!
Yays.
Toddlers are pretty cute...
...until they have needs.
Ooooh looks like somebody's found a boyfrienddd~
Dagmar scaring everyone BUT the sims I want.
Not sure if Arizona acquired a new boyfriend or a new punching bag.
Don't think she is sure either.
Awkward in-law breakfast...
In other news incredibly creepy guy breaks into house to lure a child into their "hobby club". To "make music". Luckily Colorado will never go there.
Time for Oregon to grow up again.
Arizona: Last chance to break something while he's still puny...
Joy: omg do I have to take her shopping again
Nah she's a good sim at heart. But yay Oregon is now a handsome little boy.
Despite growing up Joy still finds time to play with her youngest son.
(After I made that hobby guy comment everything I say feels dirty now nooo)
At this point I realised there was no room for Oregon. So I expanded the house and this is now his room. Huge windows for a rather small room.
For being the most important sim in the household Holden is barely seen in this update..
Oregon is a mean one.
Oregon: We're still cool right?
The gramps are rarely seen either..after the house expansion, they got an extra living room so they just like to spend their time painting lots of things. Or teaching their grandkids how to paint.
Can't believe they get away with painting this and sell it for a load of money.
Not so good influence there, Holden...
Sunny Hille not being too happy with Joy for some reason.
More shots of their house update...I made their living room huuuuuuge and also added a spiral staircase!
Oregon having fun with said staircase.
Casual reminder that this is still happening.
Congratulations Oregon, but you don't have to break the fourth wall like that.
Colorado: *something about music and violins* She's looking away...I'm gonna cheat!
Arizona: I feel like I'm hearing voices...what was that?
Colorado: Noo she's looking back quick say something DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?
Power goes out.
Arizona: FUARRRRRRRKK
Whenever the elderly are not painting together, they are serenading each other. It's pretty cute.
Or you know, why not both.
Ooops.
Colorado grows up! He rolls knowledge, which is quite appropriate given his fascination with ghosts.
More painting.
Why did you guys suddenly stop? You were nearly there..
Aww no nooooooo! RIP Sunny Hille.
