The Spritas 2.6
Last time, there were too many Sims and I just about had a fit trying to keep them all happy. (That theme continues this time, BTW.) Cedric in particular failed at keeping his motives up, which meant that he wet his pants on the kitchen floor on which his newborn son had been dumped. Oh, and Jamie refused to do his homework.
When we left off, Cedric was doing the "OMG TIRED" animation in a seemingly neverending loop, ignoring the fact that I'd already commanded him to go to bed. Furthermore, we were wondering: would he ever make it to bed? Or would he be doomed to do the "OMG TIRED" animation forever? Well, I can tell you now that he did make it to bed. After four hours. FOUR.
By that point, everyone else was well and truly awake to get stuck into their breakfast. And look at Adric! He is obviously the TRUE cleaning ninja... he doesn't even need to stand on the ground!
What's this? Where's Zoe?
She's at "Aspirational Laboratories"! It's not a very nice-looking place, but it has within it lots of ants, medical career rewards, science career rewards, and a telescope! Zoe is inspired to start a science-related blog here, as well.
Unfortunately, the place also completely glitched my camera, so this is the best shot you get. It was completely empty except for Zoe and the science hobby leader (who is, appropriately, an alien).
Zoe: Well... that was a waste of time. :|
Zoe: At least now I can start my chemistry blog! :D :D :D
When we get back, we discover Harry, being mentally scarred (as is the cliché). Sorry, Harry.
Then I (cruelly and vindictively) make Jamie do his homework. He obeys.
Jamie: AHAHA DO YOU SEE THIS? DO YOU SEE THIS?? I DID ALL MY HOMEWORK EXCEPT FOR ONE BOOK! OOH YEAH, I AM SUCH A REBEL!
He even pre-empts any instructions to return to work by spewing up this dialog box without me telling him to do anything. Yeah yeah, I get it Jamie, you're a rebel.
Meanwhile, Cedric takes "failure to care for himself" to a whole new level by waiting until his carpool is about to arrive, and ONLY THEN dashing across the road. Luckily, his carpool driver was able to brake abruptly.
Cedric: Damn, I think something went wrong...
And it's Harry's birthday! Finally, in 2.6, no more toddlers!
Harry turns out to be pretty cute when he's not balding. Who would've guessed?
Zoe now wants maximum Science enthusiasm, so she spends her entire evening searching for planets.
I woke Jamie up in the middle of the night because he was about to starve to death and wet himself simultaneously. However, even though he obeyed me, he's still angry that it wasn't his idea or something.
...Simcitizens? What's wrong with simpermanent residents? Simtemporary residents? Why only treat the simcitizens, Cedric? :(
But on the bright side, CEDRIC FINALLY GOT PROMOTED!! He also lost his old hair somehow (that is, I accidentally deleted the mesh). Oops.
Even though it wasn't his idea, Jamie is happy enough to take advantage of the food I told him to eat.
Jamie: HELP I AM SO LONELY
How do you get lonely when you have four brothers and sisters, Jamie?!
Jamie: I WILL DROWN MY SORROWS IN REFRIGERATED POTATO CHIPS
You do that.
Hey, Harry's awake. Why don't you talk to Harry, Jamie?
Harry: Good morning, Jamie! :D
Jamie: NO, NOT LISTENING TO YOU! I AM TOO LONELY >:O
Donna: Hey, Jamie! Do you want to play a game of red hands?
Jamie: NO WAY
Jamie: WHY AM I SO LONELYYYYYYYY
I have no idea...
Oh, look at this! A family breakfast, lovingly prepared by Zoe! Why don't you eat with your siblings, Jamie? Do you think that will satisfy your need for social interaction?
Jamie: I hate them all. >:(
Jamie: ESPECIALLY ADRIC.
Wow. That's fierce, Jamie.
Jamie: WHATEVER I AM LONELY AND YOU ARE NOT HELPING
Harry: Umm... do I really want to eat breakfast here?
Damn, Jamie. This is not that hard! I promise you!
Everyone finally finishes breakfast, and Jamie immediately starts picking on Adric.
Jamie: You know what I was just thinking, Adric? I was thinking, if you didn't clean up your act, I'd beat you to death with a spatula!!
Jamie: But then I thought, no, wouldn't it be more fun to grind Adric to a bloody pulp?
Adric: o_O
Adric: WTF? What did I even do? You can't kill me with a spatula!
Jamie: SORRY IT'S WAY TOO LATE TO SAVE YOURSELF NOW
Jamie: I'm so sorry, little bro, I didn't mean it! Reconciliatory red hands?
Adric: Okay!
Jamie: WHAT THE HELL, MAN? YOU WON! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN!!
Adric: Heh... heh... heh... sorry?
Stupid students! Don't they know that teachers who let them go on excursions to the shopping centre instead of working are very rare? They shouldn't abuse this privilege!
Zoe brought a friend (Times New Roman Dork, from katu_sims) home from school, and -- of course -- started chatting to him. Jamie was pissed off because he wanted to give him a noogie.
So instead, he talked to Adora Rose on SimSN. For hours.
Zoe got a part-time job as a "Gumshoe". For some reason, she's required to have ugly uniform hair.
Sarah has suddenly decided this is a good way to announce her return home from work. Every. Single. Day.
At least Donna is nice enough to go along with it, I guess.
I'm sorry work sucked that much, Sarah. We teenagers aren't really that bad. Most of the time.
Sarah consoles herself by playing chess with Zoe's friend. Hmm. I hope he wasn't in Sarah's Science class.
Zoe's home from work!
...And so is Cedric, although I'd really like to know what he was doing in the same workplace as Zoe.
It's finally Donna's birthday!
And here she is! She rolled Romance/Pleasure as her aspiration.
Adric: Why is that guy on the swing? I want the swing... :(
O rly? We can work with that.
Oh, what?
Drink up! Coffee is an acceptable substitute for sleep!
Then Zoe started doing the "good witch" animation... even though she's not a good witch... and I don't even have Apartment Life.
Maybe it's some other, similar animation, but I've never seen it before.
Here's Donna after a little makeover. She is absolutely gorgeous. I may even like her look better than Jamie's and Zoe's, that's how pretty she is.
She also finds a part-time job. She's now a stand-up comedian.
Then she goes to flirt with Roman, Zoe's friend.
Meanwhile, Zoe "searches for planets"!
She found a new planet? This had better not be like Pluto...
All the guests went home, and then it was homework hour -- for everybody! (That is, everybody except Jamie. I've given up on him.)
Zoe, how can it be homework hour for everybody if you're going to sit on Adric's homework?
She gets up, though, and then she and Donna teach Harry and Adric how to study. Respectively.
Harry decided to stop doing his homework when it was 87% complete, though... so Zoe (and I) ensured that he went right back to doing it.
Meanwhile, Cedric practises Charisma for work.
Cedric: Don't recycle! Recycling's crap, I tell you, crap!
Cedric: I mean, where are all these big polluting factories, anyway? I've never seen one! It's all a myth!
Donna spends her morning playing on the swing.
Then Zoe comes out to join her, and they happily chat about politics until the school bus comes.
I am shocked.
Donna makes a mad dash for the computer after school. She needs her SSX 3, and she needs it now!
Then Jamie's friend decides to brag about herself.
Samantha: I am so great! You know that?
Donna: ...she's really not that great.
Samantha: HOW DARE SHE
Where'd you meet this friend, Jamie? Anger management? Counselling?
Adric: HELP! I'M BORED!
Family smustle time!
Only... this is sort of what happens when there's family smustle time...
Harry: But I don't want to get stinky! O_O
Hell yeah! A promotion for Zoe!
I rush Zoe to the wardrobe so she can change back into her non-uniform hair ASAP... and when I check back, this is what's happened. Screw you, Jamie. You wonder why people don't talk to you.
But Zoe, the ants had nothing to do with it! Don't take your anger out on them!
Much better.
Cedric! Can't you do anything right? (Although, I couldn't actually work out what skill he lost.)
Yeah, Donna, engineering is a lot like teenage romance.
She wanted to do this. Oh, Pleasure secondaries.
Oh really? Well, step one: DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
AND DON'T BLAME YOUR SISTER.
So, we ordered groceries... but everyone had to go to work or school before the groceries were delivered. Do you want to know what happens when you do that? The grocery company takes your money AND KEEPS THE GROCERIES. Argh.
Initiative is a good thing!
THERAPY??? MY SIM DOES NOT NEED THERAPY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Although... it wasn't so bad. Donna seems to have met a potential love interest in therapy!
Zeke Rose (simmericangirl)! Again. Zoe met him before but they had no romantic interest in each other whatsoever. With Donna, it's a different story.
Zeke: I SAY WE KILL THEM ALL!!!
I think I know why Zeke was in therapy...
Donna: ROFLMAO that sounds like a great idea!! Let's start with the jerk who made me go to therapy.
Zeke: DO YOU REALLY MEAN IT? :D
Donna: And after we've got that jerk, we can make a move on the White House!
Zeke: HELL YEAH!!!!
Donna: Oh Zeke, you have opened my eyes up to so many possibilities that I never even dreamed of 'til now!
Zeke: I did?? I mean... oh, um, hell yeah, I did!
Memo to Donna's teacher: THIS IS NOT HOW YOU BRAINWASH STUDENTS.
Have I mentioned that they're a pair of three-bolt Romance Sims? Well, they are.
But that doesn't mean Zeke lets Donna do whatever.
Zeke: Uh-uh! Baby, you have to swear allegiance to my sociopolitical movement before I let you touch this!
Donna: I SWEAR! I SWEAR!
We interrupt this discussion for the following: Sarah got a promotion. The massive grin on her face is because she never has to teach teenagers again.
Harry got an A+! All that homework really pays off!
And Zoe got demoted. Chance cards.
Meanwhile, Donna and Zeke have progressed from plotting to chess. Which Zeke cheats at.
Donna: WHAT? You can't cheat at chess with me! That is sooooo not nice!
Zeke: If you want me, you have to let me cheat!
Donna: *whimpers* Okay, okay...
After chess, they have a wonderful backyard date in which they alternate between plotting world domination and making out.
Which means, of course, that Donna gets her first kiss. Before either of her elder siblings!
Jamie: Whoa... feeling kind of weird?
Me: That's because it's your birthday.
Jamie: All right! No more homework ever again!
Me: *gigglesnort* Jacket...
Here he is with a better jacket. Those cheekbones are kind of frightening.
I have no idea WHY, considering it has NOTHING TO DO with Popularity, but Jamie wanted a job in Business. Since his LTW career didn't come up, I let him take it.
Then it's Zoe's birthday!
She looks exactly the same. She didn't even bother to change her pyjamas or anything.
No one got to watch Zoe's birthday, because there was too much congestion around the stairs.
WAIT WHAT
...! ACR!
OH YEAH
Donna: Hey, you know those groceries we paid for and you never delivered? DELIVER THEM.
Jamie: Hmm... I am soooo hungry...
Jamie: ...I think I'd better work out on this exercise bike.
Deliverywoman: Hey, you look nice and non-threatening. Have some groceries, kid.
Adric: Oh wow! Thanks!
So the family sits down to a nice family meal.
Jamie: Umm, I'm not feeling so good.
Donna: *stare stare*
Jamie: *collapses*
Adric: WAAAAAAAAAAAH
Crap. JAMIE, DID I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO COMMIT SUICIDE?
Cedric: :|
Harry: :)
Nice to see you caring.
Sarah: Please Mr Reaper, spare my son! He's a bit of an idiot, but he's a good kid, I promise! He doesn't deserve to die!
Harry: WHY CAN'T I REACH MY BROTHER? AND WHY IS EVERYONE CRYING? I DON'T GET IT!
Grim Reaper: Very well, Mrs Sprita, I will give you one chance to save your son. In one of my bony hands I hold your son's soul. Pick which one it is, and I will return his soul to him.
She guessed right!
Creepy.
Zoe: Eww! My brother reeks!
Jamie: Thanks for saving me, mum. *hug*
Not that he's changed his ways at all.
Well... I guess he's paying attention to his younger siblings now. He didn't really do that when he was younger.
Jamie: Bye, dad! I'm off to my first day on the job!
Sarah (thinks): I think I just... met the Grim Reaper.
Zoe: Mum, do you ever get the impression that weird things just keep happening to us? I mean, this is like when dad was abducted by aliens. It's just so weird.
I'm glad Jamie has business sense, because he sure is lacking in any other kind of sense.
Zoe's still in the Intelligence career. She will be until Architecture shows up.
Donna hasn't really changed since her childhood. She still loves computer games.
She also has to wear that horrible uniform hair to work. And she's a STAND-UP COMEDIAN. Stand-up comedians shouldn't have to wear any kind of uniform at all!
Oh yes! It's Adric's birthday!
I think he could do with some eyes.
If you're tired and you know it wave your arms
If you're tired and you know it wave your arms
If you're tired and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're tired and you know it wave your arms
This is how Donna decides to welcome her alien brother into his teenage years. It's definitely not going to help with his tiredness.
In case you're wondering about Adric's aspiration, he rolled Popularity/Fortune. The same as Jamie. Unlike Jamie, though, his LTW is to be a general. I wouldn't have thought that being a general would make someone very popular, but whatever floats his boat, I guess...
Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading!
