The Eonftft Awesomesauce Challenge 2.1
And we're back!
Orange Skies: Sooo...do we consumate our marriage now?
Skies ... you're in your parents' bedroom. Looking at their bed. Where they consummated you.
Not that you care, I guess.
...in their shower?
Sun Young: So, are we going to go on a legit honeymoon?
Orange Skies: Nah, I exhausted all my money meeting, wooing, and wedding you.
Sun Young: Can we at least pretend that we're on our honeymoon? Wink wink? Nudge nudge? Beds?
Orange Skies: Um, yeah. That's good.
Orange Skies: Now that I think about it, I'm so tired! To the bedroom!
Sun Young: Beating you to it, Skies. Beating you to it.
They're quite possibly one of my favorite sim!couples.
No, Calling You! You don't know the horrors that shower has seen!
Sun Young: oh, i don't feel too good...
All according to plan.
Sun Young: While you were in China, did you pick up martial arts, by any chance..?
Orange Skies: Yes...?
Sun Young: Then let's...SPAR!
Orange Skies: OKAY!!
Sun Young won. She had 2 or 3 skill points and Skies only had 1, so that explains that.
Rematch after Skies gets his new robes for skilling up.
Calling You quietly freaks out in the background. With age, I have noticed her neurotic trait coming out to play more. Also: note Skies' resemblance to Ace, though I have no idea where his nose came from. A combination I guess?
Sun Young: Oh, I'm so in love. He's so good that he beat me the second time. Nobody's ever done that before ♥
The couple that plays together, stays together?
Orange Skies gets piano as his instrument. He didn't seem like a guitar, base, or drums type of guy.
Ace: I just don't understand why all these strange people keep moving into my house? Who are you? Why do you keep eating my food?
And we have a pop, people! bb #1 is making itself known.
Calling You: Mmm, I'm a lady boss.
Sun Young gets started on her painting because they have not bought in any source of income over the past few days and literally can't afford a baby at the moment and Orange Skies is preoccupied with his ~piano practice~.
Calling You: stupid chair it's orange not blue you know chairs used to be blue back when i was young and everything was great and now they're orange you know what type of color orange is orange is the color of citrus which gives me acid reflux i hate this chair
Sun Young: I think my unborn child could paint a better picture than that.
Sun Young: I have something to tell you.
Orange Skies: Please let it be about dragons or Skyrim. Please.
Calling You: Ace, you're always in the pictures! Stop--what's the word kids are using today? Photo-buoyancy?
Sun Young: I'm pregnant.
Orange Skies: Ayeeeeee.
Ace: Whaddya mean, I'm always in the pictures?
Calling You: Here, take this. It's dangerous to go alone.
Ace: What do I need a cane for?
Ace: Oh.
I'm not going to bother changing his outfits--they're red and blue, which is perfectly acceptable for this gen. Ace makes a very grandfatherly looking elder.
Ace: Woof, woof!
Calling You: AHMAHGAAAAAD WE'RE BOTH SO OLD AND CLOSE TO DEATH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOO
Orange Skies: I have so much fun playing with myself! *gigges*
Sun Young: I'm just happy to be part of such a functional family. My poor unborn baby.
Calling You: It's kicking already? Spider was a lively one, I tell you, but Skies just liked to hurt his dear mother. You know, when I was pregnant, I didn't get a lot of cravings? I didn't actually do a lot of anything. Maybe you should just relax, dear, and incubate the baby.
Sun Young: Is that so?
Orange Skies: MOM STOP THAT
Calling You: You know Orange Skies was born with blue hair, like how mine used to be? He dyed it.
Sun Young: He never told me that!
Orange Skies: MOM STOP IT
This was all autonomous--Sun Young and Calling You get along really well. I love it.
Hello, Ghost!Priscilla. Looking as cute as ever, I see.
Sun Young: *wibble* why's there no ice cream and pickles? :(
Orange Spider: Oh man, I look bad. I'm still hot though. Looking bad for me? It's like looking fantastic on a normal person's scale.
Orange Skies: Okay...one foot at a time, Skies...
The orange generation is a cruel mistress. So many things for Skies to do!
Sun Young: You still want to kiss me even when I look like this?
Orange Skies: Sure, a normal person would look bad, but you look great. You're like me. When I look bad, I look fantastic according to normal people. When you look bad, you look beautiful.
Ace: I think he discovered the brown note.
Skies, as part of the generation orange requirements, need to learn all compositions for piano, so I sent him to the bookstore. There's no other point to this shot besides the fact that it's pretty and you can see the books inside.
In the lobby of a club, Sun Young went into labor.
Sun Young: Lamaze! Hospital! Painkillers!
And to the hospital she went, and baby she received!
This little guy's name is Parade Eonftft. He's a friendly heavy-sleeper who enjoys classical music, fish 'n' chips, and the color turqoise. He's also a Virgo.
While I'm thinking about it, this will be an excellent time to point out the fact that Sun Young and Orange Skies' signs were compatible. Which is one of the reasons why I love them so much.
Sun Young: Man, giving birth to this kid was really hard work. I'm exhausted.
Sun Young: Wait, this is better than sleeping.
Baby #2 coming on up!
Calling You: Don't worry, Parade, Grandma's here to take care of you. Even though you're gonna hate me when you're older, I love you when you're younger.
Calling You: That's right, enjoy familial love while you still can.
Calling You: And I will stare out this window to ensure your safety.
She did the same thing with Spider & Skies while they were growing up: she would look outside of the window nearest their cribs. Strange, but sweet, in that neurotic sim kind of way.
Calling You: Well, what do you know, the baby's crying.
Ace: Can you shut it up? I'm trying to watch Glee.
Ace: I can't hear them singing! And no way in hell am I going to buy this season's DVD.
Calling You: Yeah, yeah, rockabye, just stop crying.
Seeing as Ace was the only one who could easily play for tips, I sent him downtown to start making some $$$ since Sun Young's painting career hadn't really taken off yet. He was bringing in a solid $150-$200 a night, but they were still dirt poor, starving artists.
Baby #2 would like to inform us of its existence.
Orange Skies: How do I hold all of this baby?
That is the type of fail that I want to see from the father of the black generation!
Down at the bar that I sent Orange Skies to (with the intention of playing piano for tips, which never happened) we see this ghost!bartender lady. Glad to see they don't discriminate!
BouncerLady: Why, I reckon I just fell in love.
BouncerLady: Okay, before you take a dive into me, I need to lay down some rules. First, lights off. Secondly, no funny business. Thirdly, if you've got a friend--
Orange Skies: OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I JUST WANT TO GET INTO THE CLUB
I like it! But we have to sell it.
Orange Skies: Hey, I got you a gift!
Sun Young: Yay! I now know you well enough to accept this!
Orange Skies: And another! Hint: it's a fruit, and it's pink and green and will make sure that you give birth to a baby girl! And there's two more after this!
What a great time to pop, Sun Young! I appreciate your dedication to keeping this legacy's narrative as smooth as possible.
Sun Young: THIS WATERMELON IS SO GOOD IT'S THE BEST PRESENT EVER OMG
Hey, what's this? A sudden picture of a dog?
More like the newest addition to the family! I named him Barkster because I am lame. He's and adventurous yet clueless puppy, so I expect hijinks worthy of the Saturday morning cartoons.
The house felt weird without some form of animal running around, you see.
Barkster: Please wake up, human. I don't know where home is.
Calling You: Is it something I can eat?
Barkster protects the house like a good dog. I love him.
Sun Young: I loved the picture so much the first time I painted it, I figured I might as well paint it again.
Orange Skies: SUCCESS
10% of compositions completed.
WHAT. Calling You, where in the world did you get a laptop? When did you develop an interest in playing chess on said laptop? What have you been hiding from me?
Ghost!Priscilla appreciates the new puppy. Or, the new puppy's bed.
STOP! Baby time!
It's a girl! Whose favorite color is also turquoise.
Meet Friday (and yes, I have been waiting since the first word of the first chapter for this) Eonftft. She's an easily impressed couch potato who's also a Taurus. She enjoys classical music, crepes, and turqoise. I assume she and her brother will get along very well.
Pat: I have been issued to guard this human, yes?
I only let Friday keep her Imaginary Friend because it's so generationally appropriately colored.
Barkster gets moved into the garage, i mean just look at that floor kid's room.
Also, Parade has a birthday.
I think he has a lot of his mother in him, but it's too soon to tell. I'm indecisive on whether or not to change his hair: I don't think it's black enough? But besides that, he's a cutie.
asdfghjkl;;
Orange Skies: Why do I have to take care of both of the kids? There's two! One for me and one for Sun Young! The boy is easier! :(
Sun Young was painting this ~somber~ picture of Skies playing piano, see. I loved it when it was finished, but alas, the Eonftfts needed some $$.
Calling You and Parade participate in some skilling. it's just cute okay
I learned my lesson with the cats. This time around, human and pet will play together. /dramatic music
i have a problem with pointless, pretty pictures
Look, CC!
i had no good cc for elders at this point okay A CC makeover for you!
And you!
And you!
It's like Oprah up in here. EVERYBODY GETS A CC MAKEOVER.
Oh, Sun Young, you are the perfect mother for the black generation.
Meanwhile, back in Da Club, this big guy is trying to absorb Ace into his skin. Ace is not happy with this.
No point to this other than to showcase Orange Skies's new hair.
Barkster grew up! He is an ... interesting looking dog.
Calling You: Holy simoly, that dog is fugly!
Meanwhile, Barkster lounges like a boss. He knows he's beautiful. Your words don't affect him.
At Da Club, big guy here chooses his next victim.
No pixels! Though using the potty with your diaper on is a bit detrimental to the potty-training process, Parade.
Parade: Doggy big.
Parade: I don't like big doggy.
Showers without pixels are pretty, you see.
Heh, dick!maid got stuck in the wall.
Lovely choice of hair there, Calling You.
dick!maid: Ah, she is lovely. It could be just like a romance novel. She, the artist married to the rich jerk husband, will fall in love with me, the lowly maid, and we will discuss those dreams that we never reached due to society's opression and forcing us into a box, and eventually she will be pregnant with my child, and she will tell the husband that it is his, but when it comes out with my milky caramel skin, they will divorce, and I? I will have her.
And then the Eonftfts moved. Not because of dick!maid, but because I was sick of their house and the fact that it was so far away from the main part of town.
So they rounded up the kids and off they went. Notice the new default skin. It looks great on Ace, but it looks wonky on Sun Young, like she got infected with poison ivy. I downloaded another one recently, so by next update, my sims should look better.
They're moving into this house, since there were no empty lots. Barkster somehow ended up there an hour before the rest of the family.
Somewhere, in this cab, is Orange Skies, according to my game. Okay then.
Orange Skies: I am not entering that house. It's horrendous.
Sun Young: I agree.
Calling You: I like it...
Whoa, what's this? A new house?
Why yes it is! I'm too lazy to do a house tour, and there's really not that much to show, so I'll just do it on here. Up in the left corner we have the orange gen's bathroom, and adjacent to that we have the orange gen's bedroom. There's a hallway that leads to the two little ones' rooms, their bathroom, and a nice little nook for Sun Young to paint in. Just at the nape of the hallway is the dining table, and behind that is the blue gen's bedroom with attached bath. Outside the bathroom is a nook for Orange Skies's piano (which will get changed) and behind that is the kitchen. It's a little compact for now, but building this left them $10, so as time goes by, I'll tweak it to my fancy.
Just showing off the kids' rooms. I love these cribs so much, by the way. I also love the fact that both of the kids' favorite color is turquoise, which makes it insanely easy to decorate, and also that turquoise and black go so well together.
Ace: I don't think you do enough around this house! You're worthless!
Sun Young: Whoa, please calm down.
I found Ace autonomously attacking Sun Young...? Insane sims, man. They're insane.
Anyway, NEW PUPPY! I bought her with the intention of having her have puppies with Barkster, but she's six days till adulthood. Her name is Caleigh, and she's a quiet and proud.
Meanwhile, Friday grows up.
Sun Young: I didn't know dye jobs were genetic!
I gave her a less severe shade of black for her hair. She's a qt, but not as much as her brother, but you can't really judge anything until the sims reach their teens, anyway.
She definitely has her mother's nose, though. I hate how prominent Ace's genes are. Every child except Parade has had his murky green eyes, and too many have had his lips. I just want somebody to get Calling You's ridiculously blue eyes, is that too much to ask for?
Orange Skies: You know, I'm a little sick of living like a starving artist.
Sun Young: But honey, we are starving artists.
Sun Young: This family lives like pigs.
The maid didn't follow them to their new house, which I am thankful for, because they're far too poor for a maid, and also because, you know, their maid was a dick.
Ha! The mailman was so afraid of Barkster he ran away and dropped his mail!
Pictured: a puppy tackling a toddler. Parade doesn't have that much luck with the animals.
Orange Skies joins the family business of playing in the park for tips because Orange Spider called him up and gave him an opportunity to make $500 in tips. Unfortunately, that night, he only made $15.

Thus the second update of the second generation of the Eonftft Awesomesauce Challenge comes to an end. Next update should include shenanigans such as birthdays and the starving artist lifestyle's continuation.
