The Spritas 3.2
In case you've forgotten, here are the two children of generation three (so far). That's Cosette on the left and Eponine on the right.
Eponine: Did you know I'm a grandchild?
Cosette: Cool! I'm a grandchild too!
Eponine, no one in this entire neighbourhood has a helicopter. No one's carpool is a helicopter. Where are you seeing this helicopter?
This hug means that Harry has finally moved out. Well, more precisely, become a townie.
Cedric has taken up his old hobby of birdwatching once again.
Sarah got promoted. Only one more promotion until she's back to where she was before!
Yeah. Definitely a Sprita family tradition.
Eponine brought home from school her cousin, Janine. Janine is Jamie's daughter, in case you were wondering.
Unfortunately, Janine gets angry about Eponine's CHEATING.
Then again, Janine seems to cheat a lot, too.
Janine: You'd think we were a couple of rats or something, the way we're always cheating!
Cosette clearly takes after her father, in that she likes to stuff her face. Unlike her father, she stuffs her face when she's not even hungry (and he only does it when he's about to die).
Sarah teaches Cosette to do her homework.
And then it's her birthday! Yes, Sarah is finally going to be an elder.
This is how she looks. Not too bad -- or even very different -- I reckon.
Oh yeah, Jamie came over. But he spent his entire visit on the swing, so we might as well pretend he didn't.
And then it's Cedric's birthday!
He wouldn't stand still, so this is the closest I could get to an elder photo. I think he shows his age more than Sarah does.
Zeke: Heh, I'm still cute despite my stench, right?
Zeke: Congrats on being hot!
Donna: Eww, you reek!
Zeke: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY
Donna: *dry heaves*
Don't tell me! He's the one who refused to get in the carpool!
Sarah sold a masterpiece. She's now starting work on Donna's portrait.
I guess I should fix this lemon tree up.
So I send Eponine out to do that, and then I spy the Matchmaker sneaking along our footpath.
Eponine is concerned.
And rightfully so, because the Matchmaker follows her to the backyard...
...but then she walks onto the back veranda and gets out her sack of goodies. You know what it is, don't you?
The legacy's first genie lamp!
Eponine and Cosette don't really care; they'd rather play on the swing. This saddens Jamie, who turned up again for the sole purpose of swinging on the swing.
So instead, he knocks his starving father's slice of cake out of his hand, and insists on talking.
Jamie: Have you heard? I'm a BIG ROCK STAR these days!
He isn't.
Why is my lemon tree still sick? I sprayed the bugs!
Cosette: POW! POW!
Eponine: Oh no! You killed me!
Eponine: Ack! I'm dead!
Cosette: Hahaha
Eponine: Hehe, that was fun.
Cosette: LET'S PLAY AGAIN!
Cosette: *makes siren noises* THIS IS THE POLICE! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!
Eponine: I'll pay you to go away!
Cosette: POW! POW!
Eponine: But I paid you!
All this fun and excitement is interrupted by the arrival of the third -- and last -- baby!
Meet Marius! Donna immediately passed him off onto Jamie.
Jamie: HELP! What do I do with the baby?
Jamie: Please help me :(
Cedric tends to the orange tree, which is NOWHERE WEAR AS WHINY as that goddamned permanently sickly lemon tree.
Sarah tries to satisfy the whiny lemon tree.
The orange tree appreciates my Sims' hard work and care!
The lemon tree does not. >:(
My first "It's raining!" response, and it's ruined by the fact that two of them are doing it in tandem.
The Culinary career FINALLY appeared on the computer. Donna took the job.
Marius: Jamie? JAMIE?? Oh no I'm on the floor and I don't like this place... ;_;
Luckily, Cedric knows what to do.
Cosette, I don't think you can measure the rain from inside the house...
Cosette: DON'T YOU TELL ME WHERE I CAN AND CANNOT MEASURE THE RAIN
She apparently agreed with me though, because she then went out to look at the rain through the window.
Cosette: WHOOT! YEAH! RAIN!
Cedric: Rain... :(
I think Cosette has opened the floodgates on this one. Eponine is waiting her turn to look at the rain.
HOLY CRAP! I tried to check on Zeke upstairs and was startled to see a faceless man leap down from the ceiling. Then I realised it was just the shrink. I always thought he had a face... :(
You see, Zeke has a permanent fear of having a baby. Marius's birth sent his aspiration meter through the floor.
Therapist: Ahh, yes! I seenk I see ze problem on ze teep of ze cheen...
Cosette: My dad is crazy.
Me: You got that right.
Zeke: UGG UGG UGG
Zeke: Gee, thanks, I feel so much better! :D
Therapist: Oh, I am relieved to hear zat! Vell, I must be off, so stay out of trouble, Zeke.
Zeke: I LIED TO YOU I ACTUALLY THINK YOU SUCK
Therapist: *disappears anyway*
Cosette got bored watching her father's descent into madness, and went to splash in a puddle.
Zeke: I'm so hungry! I should read a book. I bet it'd tell me what to do.
Zeke, did it really tell you to sing karaoke? Really?
Cosette apparently thinks it's a good idea to sleep outside, on a hard wooden bench, at night, in late autumn.
Zeke: Why, hello, Miss Mop! You'd never ruin my life with a screaming baby, now would you Miss Mop?
It's Marius' birthday! Already!
Zeke: I HATE THAT LITTLE BRAT
Me: Zeke! That is NOT how you celebrate your son's birthday!
Zeke: Oh, all right. *waves noisemaker, puts on a grin*
Zeke: BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG I STILL HATE HIM
Zeke: FEED MEEEEE
Me: And now I present to you, Marius as a toddler!
He got Donna's nose! He also got horrible balding hair. What is up with this? Does extremely premature balding run rampant in the Sprita family? :(
Zeke: What's that you say, Miss Mop? Sucking face with you would make me feel better? In front of everyone? Well, Miss Mop, you do make it sound very tempting...
Zeke: *sucks face with mop*
I AGREE, COSETTE. Why are you the only one who can see this?
Donna got promoted in her first day on her job. The real point of this picture, though, was the limo she stepped out of. Drive through clerks should NOT have a limo as their carpool.
Um, what. Zeke is a professional party guest. Firstly, who could possibly boss around a professional party guest? Secondly, how does he have a lunchbreak when his hours are 22:00 to 02:00? Thirdly, does it really matter if he plays video games at a party? o_O
Donna celebrates not being pregnant any more with a good old jump on the couch.
She even made Zeke stand to watch the TV, haha.
Okay, I think you're celebrating a little too strongly now...
The next morning, she tries to teach Marius to walk. However, he's a REAAAAALLY slow learner.
Snow!
Eponine: I can see it from here!!
I don't see how, considering that bathroom has no windows, but OK...
Cosette sings karaoke a lot.
I hate this lemon tree, I really do. It's just NEVER SATISFIED.
But I don't want to kill it or anything, so out Eponine goes with the shears. (I didn't know you were supposed to shear lemon trees, but whatever works for it, I guess.)
I guess Zeke has forgiven Marius for ruining his life.
WHAT HAPPENED TO DONNA'S PORTRAIT??
Cosette: POW! POW! I'll send you to jail!
Eponine: Hey, wait. Why am I always the burglar in this game?
Do you know what this means? It means water balloon fight spam!
Cosette and Eponine aim...
They throw their projectiles...
BLAM!
Cosette is faster to recover, and quickly launches another projectile at her elder sister...
...and BLAM!
Cosette makes a strategic sidestep to her left, giving Eponine time to recoup. Both girls aim their balloons...
COSETTE IS HIT! But Eponine isn't!
It's now Eponine who sidesteps to the left, making the most of her sister's disorientation to launch another, rapid, strike. Cosette attempts to taunt, not a good idea when you've just been hit and are disorientated enough to taunt in the wrong direction.
Cosette is hit again!
Cosette: Oof! That hit my shoe!
Eponine: Na na nana na!
Exhausted after all that effort, Eponine decides to take a nap on the wooden bench. Meanwhile, Cosette sweeps up ALL the fallen leaves.
And then she disposes of the leaves! Eponine sleeps on, apparently not caring.
This manoeuvre means that Marius has finally learned to walk.
Look, the portrait is done now! So I can't lose it!
Poor little Marius passed out before Donna could put him to bed.
Aww. She's such a good mother, worrying for her son.
You know that lemon tree that was giving me so much trouble? It's asleep now. WHEN IT WAKES UP, IT BETTER NOT BE "SICKLY"
You know it's winter when Sarah feels the need to rug up in a thick parka before throwing a disposed bottle in a bin!
And when Cedric changes into a jumper and scarf to accept the groceries.
And when Eponine changes into a raincoat for apparently no reason other than that she looks really cute in it.
Donna and Zeke decide to greet the new season with a water balloon fight. In winter. Well... at least they have their winter coats on, I guess...
As Zeke fails at life, he also fails at water balloon fights.
Donna: Na na nana na! You'll never hit me!
Zeke: We'll see about that! >:)
Donna: I'll spread myself out so you have a large target to try and hit. But oh, look! You still missed!
Cedric decides that winter poses no threat to him, and decides to hang out outside in his pyjamas. Meanwhile, Zeke plays on the swing.
And that's all for now! :D I hope you enjoyed.
