The Spritas 3.1
Last time, generation three was born! And its father, Zeke Rose of simmericangirl, proved to be totally and completely incompetent -- although on the bright side, he hasn't killed himself yet.
I want more than one baby to choose from for heir. That means I need more than one baby, all close in age so this generation doesn't stretch out to eight parts like the last one did.
Zeke: This is a terrible painting of my girlfriend!
Me: Yeah. That would be because... that's your girlfriend's dad...
Stinky, are you? What do you think should be done about this?
Apparently, Zeke decided to look it up in the "Health" section of the newspaper.
I'm very pleased that you earned 25,000 Simoleons, but why are you wearing military uniform to work?
I'm amazed that this actually happened, considering that Eponine was doted on by all.
Cedric would rather birdwatch than acknowledge his wife's existence. :(
On the other hand, good God! Zeke is acknowledging his daughter's existence!
He even fed her! And she even needed feeding!
And then it's Eponine's birthday. Born-before-6pm baby, you know the drill.
Zeke's interest in his daughter evaporated as soon as he realised there was cake on offer.
This is Eponine, albeit with glitchy hair. She definitely got Donna's eyes, and Zeke's nose. I can't really tell about any of the other features.
Sarah: Why won't my husband play football with me?!
Donna? Singing? Hahahahahahaha
Harry is a secondary Family Sim which means that, despite his Romance primary, he has decided to be Super-Uncle to little Eponine.
He even restyled her hair! (Okay, okay, that was me. But Harry took her to the mirror for me!)
And he finished what Cedric started, and taught her to speak. All the important words, you know, like "Harry", "Harry" and "Harry".
Harry: Now, say Harr-- um, bottle! Bottle! I mean bottle!
Eponine: Bottle!
Zeke: Oh, hi, Harry! Thanks for doing all the parenting for me!
Yay!
Zeke does not contribute very much to the working environment of the house. He bitches about his inability to feed himself, he WooHoos with Donna sometimes, and he plays video games.
Radioactive toddler time!
Eponine wanted to learn nursery rhymes rather than walking, so we obliged her. It was very sweet.
But it would have been much sweeter if Zeke hadn't been screeching over the top of the nursery rhyme with his own song. >:(
Eponine spends most of her time at the toddler table. It's adorable, but I'm sure you already know that. Thus, I'm going a bit minimalist on the pictures.
Zeke: THE STOCK MARKET SUCKS >:(
Donna: Hahaha, yes it does! :D
Zeke: Hahaha, yeah. :D
Both: *MINUS MINUS*
The "Argue" interaction is really screwy.
Donna is tired.
But Zeke won't let her go to bed, insisting they must talk about hobby.
Now Zeke is hungry and Donna is still tired.
SO ZEKE INSISTS THEY PLAY FOOTBALL.
Harry got older.
Dorky layered shirts might not be the best outfit I could have chosen, but it's better than A COWBOY SHIRT AND A KILT. Why do Sims transition into such horrible clothes? More importantly, why are such horrible clothes in the game? >:(
Zeke was the only member of the house not otherwise occupied (computer games don't count, okay), so it fell to him to teach Eponine her last toddler skill: walking.
So, uh, she can walk now.
Zeke: Mr Teddy says, "Don't invest in the stock market!"
Zeke: "It's just like in all those Great Depression movies!"
Zeke: "And if you can't see that, you need your eyes checked!"
Donna: That was so romantic! *swoon*
Perhaps Donna needs her brain checked.
Harry remains the only Sprita in existence to have played in the bathtub.
Donna: OMG! :O
Zeke: *looks at boobies, not baby*
You sure you can see Adric out there?
Zeke was starving, so he made himself a sandwich. But he didn't eat it.
Zeke: You are so hot, Donna! Congrats!
Sandwich: *waits*
Zeke: Hmm, the telescope is actually off in a completely different direction to this, but I can see it anyway!
Sandwich: *waits*
AND THEN THEY PLAYED FOOTBALL.
Seriously, my Sims try to play football 95295520 times a day, forgetting to eat or pee or bathe as a consequence, and it really pisses me off. I even downloaded a hack to disable autonomous football-playing but it didn't work :'(
Cedric, how do you get the thinking cap to malfunction when you're in gold aspiration?
Harry: Donna, you're so hot and it makes me REALLY ANGRY that you're my sister!
...
Eponine's birthday again!
Child Eponine!
Uncle Harry starts telling Eponine about what she can expect from school.
Harry: You'll get to study algebra!
Eponine: Algebra! That sounds exciting! :D
Harry: And then there's always geography...
Eponine: Oh wow! Geography!
If you're wondering why you barely ever get to see Cedric and Sarah, that's because this is all they have the time to do. I want them to get their LTWs!
In case you're thinking that Zeke has got better at taking care of himself... don't worry, he hasn't. I just got bored taking pictures of his failures.
Eponine and Harry are pretty close.
Eponine also loves the karaoke machine. She's not very good at it yet, though.
You can see Adric too? What's he doing, flying around the house like a superhero?
Hahahahahahaha. Approximately six hours from now, that'll just be too bad for you.
Eponine: Daddy, daddy! Uncle Harry says I can study algebra at school!
Zeke: HELL NO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NONE OF THAT KNOWLEDGEY BULLSHIT
Eponine: FINE. I will go and talk about elephants to UNCLE HARRY and NOT TO YOU.
Harry: But I don't even like elephants... :|
Have we got another aspiring science nerd on our hands?
Yes. Yes, we do.
Who are you??
Huh? Really? I don't think Cedric has tinkered with anything in his entire life. He's just studying mechanics.
Oh yeah, Donna. Rub in the fact you don't need to study.
Another morning, another bout of throwing hard objects at one another.
But do you see this? Do you see how it's not a football? That's because I bought Seasons!
Yep. Definitely a family tradition.
The new baby is coming! Finally! Hooray! Rejoice!
No one cares, Zeke.
Cosette!
Eponine: Whyyyyyyyyy?
Zeke: Man, I stink. I wonder what I should do about that.
Oh, NOW you're enthusiastic.
Cedric's getting closer to his LTW. It seems much more difficult than I remember.
Uh, hello, Jamie.
... Jamie?
JAMIE??
He doesn't even live here any more, and he's still the first to pass out thanks to the weather. Way to go, Jamie. That takes talent.
Even Harry feels that some congratulations must be in order for that.
Zeke: PUT SOME FOOD IN MY MOUTH
Zeke must seriously be the stupidest Sim I've ever had. He never, ever gets any food for himself.
Cosette was born at like 4pm, so it's already her birthday!
She's pretty cute, unsurprisingly.
Eponine may have sulked when Cosette was born, but in the hours that have elapsed since, she got over it. Now she wants to talk to Cosette, play with Cosette, and so on.
Cosette (breaking the fourth wall): Guys! Guys! Look at this!
Cosette: *snuggles teddy*
Seriously, this is all Zeke does. He bitches and moans about how hungry he is...
...and then he goes and talks to Donna instead of doing anything useful.
Oh, you've worked it out now, have you?
... Not quite.
This picture means that Donna's pregnant again. By the way.
Sarah and Cedric play a game of chess to accumulate skill points for work. The autumn bonus helps, but it's still REALLY SLOW.
Zeke: I'm hungry. Can I have your chips?
Donna: They're my chips. Find your own.
Zeke: DX
Zeke: :D
Zeke: I'll just have some milk.
Then Zeke heads upstairs to take a nap on the sofa.
He has horrible nightmares in which he's a bumbling idiot who can't take care of himself and has two daughters with a third child on the way.
Oh, wow! A chance card I didn't fail at!
I made Eponine sweep up all the leaves in the backyard so I could make her play in them. However, she didn't seem to find the experience very fun.
So, we must resort to computer games. Sigh.
Um. Oops.
Zoe? How long have you been here?
Cosette cries whenever she's trapped in her crib. Which is often.
Luckily, Auntie Zoe rushes to the rescue!
Aww.
Cedric teaches his granddaughter to walk, an act which results in Cosette finally being pulled out of red aspiration. Yay!
I'm really not lying when I say Zeke can't take care of himself.
What??
Zeke, if you can't learn to feed yourself, you will be DEAD this time next week.
Someone else (i.e. Cedric) served up some pancakes for the family and then Zeke decided he could eat.
But then he apparently changed his mind.
She got demoted two entire job levels. WHYYY
Zeke discovered where the bathtub is! Now maybe people will stop gagging whenever they see him!
A+ for Eponine!
Eponine, don't bother cheering to your dad. Why would he care?
Sarah may have suffered a setback, but Cedric is getting extremely close to his LTW. He must be one promotion away or something by now.
Cosette's birthday!
Zoe: *gasp, skip, jump*
We immediately give her a different hairstyle -- one that she doesn't share with her mother. She has Zeke's eyes, but otherwise her features are exactly the same as her sister's. (I think!)
Cosette: Zoe, I heard that we can throw baseballs around now as well as footballs!!
WHAT
Zeke: Hmm. I bet this bill is for Eponine.
Cosette splashes around in the puddles left by the thunderstorm. Until bedtime rolls around, of course.
I didn't tell you to do anything!
Harry is an extremely caring uncle. Once the girls were in bed, and Harry returned from work, he tucked them both in. Aww.
And, again, that's all for this time. I hope you enjoyed! Also, in case you're not aware of this, I've made a Download a Sprita post. Downloading Spritas isn't its only use -- the stats of all the generation two kids are there as well. If you're curious.
