As we rejoin the Ouboroses, it seems like some sort of party is taking place in the dark recesses of their back verandah.
(Yeah, FAIL fence lights :T they never turn on automatically at night, and I always forget to do it manually, so sorry about the dark pics)
Ooooh... time for the twins to leave their toddlerhood behind and head for the world of school buses, doll houses and CONSTANTLY MAXED OUT RED FUN METERS BECAUSE SCHOOL IS THAT. AWFUL. D:
Ebenezer Scrooge manages to maintain the same epic level of adorableness!
(not that you can really see much of her lol SORRY AGAIN)
Stats are 3 messy, 6 outgoing, 10 active, 10 playful, 3 mean, 32 total but pretty lolepic stats IMO.
And Uriel Septim is... um... well, still Uriel. Yyyeah. >_< Well they had to have ONE not adorable child, right?
Stats be 10 neat, 7 outgoing, 8 active, 4 serious, 6 nice. Perfect 35 pointer again but the distribution is a tiny bit blah I think... not much of a one for serious sims.
Uh oh, I sense trouble. Or perhaps it's the aroma of half-family sim "OH SHIT I"M GETTING OLD I NEED ANOTHER BABY" fear.
Yep, definitely a disturbance in the force. *sigh* I guess we're not quite done with babies yet then?
Serena: so, uh... baby?
Henrik: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY EARLIER? :DD
And yep, Henrik's little family sim soldiers never fail, cos there was that babby lullaby again. Just have to hope for a singleton >__<
With eight sims already in the house and a new little sprogling on the way, the two bedroom-one bath cottage just wouldn't cut it. So the back garden had to go to make way for another dormitory-size bedroom and two new bathrooms. Yeah, I really couldn't be bothered decorating at all at this stage, let alone cluttering XD. Expect the bathrooms and dining room to stay completely blank for the rest of this gen, sorry :P
Uriel and Ebenezer join the rest of the kids on the trot off to school.
(LOL, I just noticed that I changed Uriel's outfit from the weirdo pirate costume she transitioned into... to Ebenezer's exact same ensemble. Just like IRL twins with mums who don't understand the concept of emotional scarring... and have you noticed these days an increasing number of kids running around who are dressed identically and are DIFFERENT AGES? I really don't get it :x)
And we catch Serena puking up her guts for the first time - actually that's kind of impressive, the third pregnancy along. Then she wiped off her mouth, cleaned the toilet and trucked off to work.
(She kind of reminds me of my mum - 5 kids and a full time job, and now she's executive director of a government department. Super woman! Yeah, happy mother's day mum XD you get mentioned in the caption of a vomit-pic >__<)
Awww, you guys, best friends? So cute. Would possibly be a better idea not to be making friends IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, though. Just a suggestion D:
I hate trying to find homework in the house, so I always make the kids drop it on the front lawn. This leads to some rather interesting homework sessions, like in the middle of a thunderstorm. The downside of this was that the light on the porch got struck by lightning TWICE and so all the kids got up and ran over to dance around and get randomly-filthy (seriously, maxis, how does their hygiene get SO LOW when they're like 15 feet from the fire?)
Upside for the kids - puddle proximity once the homework was done :D
BLOOMP! #1
I guess Serena felt a bit fat and ungainly with her new preggo belly, and decided that sleeping in the princess bed might cure it? She actually copes really REALLY well with pregnancy, considering she's actually a romance sim and the family bit is only a side note. So you just do what you gotta do, hon <3
tl;dr their kids are smart :3
Someone brought home this kid - umm, his name is Tracey. Pretty sure that's nooot a boy's name.
For some reason this reminded me of that bit in Kate and Leopold where he's playing Pirates of Penzance songs at the piano with the brother and the little kid <3 LOL YES I WATCH ROM COMS OKAY D: Seriously I hate Meg Ryan though. :x
Someone invited this chick to a party and... for no apparent reason she wandered into the new girls' bedroom and started weeping to herself. Uhhhhh.... >.<
Awww!! Uriel Septim's nightie is adorable XD
Of course the least feminine girl in the house ends up with an uber girly flowing lavender nightie. Of course, makes perfect sense.
DAAAMN I missed the second bloomp AGAIN! Pregnant Serena is SUPER PREGNANT now though, just in case you can't tell from this picture.
Yupa and Uriel playing with the dollhouse - not entirely sure why Yupa is playing with two girl dolls and Uriel with two boy dolls, though. But we fully encourage acceptance of variable gender roles in this house!
Serena, somehow I don't think that's the best thing for an 8-or-so-months-pregnant lady to be doing. O_o
Of course I got distracted by some other chaos in the house and came back to THIS O_O;; okay seriously, girl, NOT GOOD.
(This is also the start of a seriously exercise bike obsession EPIDEMIC in the Ouroboros household. Serena is only the first of many to almost exercise herself TO DEATH)
HAI HENRIK!! <333 Still off earning the moneys for your ever-growing brood, I see? Still haven't managed to get yourself a change of outfit... lol. Yeah he's had probably two or so more promotions since my last comment on that, too :T
Errrmm... baby time? Nooo... that doesn't look like baby time....?
AW GOD!
Serena: :D I almost had a miscarriage!
Me: You noofus, how is that something to :D over???
Serena: Well, I almost had one... ? :(
Yeah no more exercise bike for you ever, until you're done with babies D:<
Uh... can I help you, jaunty-neck-scarf-and-snakeskin-jacket guy? Or would you prefer to just stare creepily at that little girl a bit longer.
Waittaminit.. he couldn't be... ?
UGH MAN THAT'S HER DAD?!? Well no wonder she hung around their place til like 10 pm then D: look at her, hanging right back there. I'd be embarassed to be seen walking around with that too .__.
Serena, why do you wait until after I've fully espoused your awesomeness as a child bearing sim to half kill yourself, nearly miscarry, and fall asleep in your food? :T
God, it better be ACTUALLY babby time this time!!
And it is! World, meet King Richard (Robin Hood: Men in Tights) :D
YESSS finally a singleton XD XD
And with only one baby around, for the first time in the whole of Serena's existence in my neighbourhood, she manages to get the bills paid on time before getting threatening messages from the repo company >_>
Time for more birthdays! Never going to be long without a birthday in a house up to, like, nine sims XD
No big party for the quads because with more than two cakes the parties always totally suck, as each guest gets dragged into an endless unstoppable cycle of cheering and eating cake and has a horrible time. So it's a pretty solemn affair, as you can see :P
Avery! Yeah, she got frowny :( That's her actual default expression.
Ambition: Popularity
Turn ons: Glasses and Hats
Turn off: Cologne
Lifetime Want: Become mayor.
Yupa! Less frowny than her sister thankfully - this is her relaxed expression too, so woot.
Ambition: Fortune
Turn ons: Fatness, great cook (LOL great combination XD)
Turn off: Athletic (HAHA well at least she's consistent)
Lifetime Want: Become world class ballet dancer.
Avery stop being adorable, I'm trying to take pics of your siblings :T
Jean-Luc Picard is a LEETLE bit frowny and has hilarious winged eyebrows XD JUST LIKE THE REAL THING ARMAGAD.
Ambition: Pleasure
Turn ons: Cologne, formalwear
Turn off: Makeup (this would be another interesting combination :P)
Lifetime Want: Become celebrity chef
Avery, seriously, knock it off XD
I think Xavier was heading for bed when I dragged them out for their birthday cakes, so he managed to fall asleep at the table and get his head IMPALED on his slice of cake. I think they used like, cement instead of flour. Even failNanny™ thinks you're fail Xavier :(
Finally woke up - here is Xavier, looking suitably groggy for a guy who just had a nap on a pillow of sponge and royal icing.
Ambition: Romance
Turn ons: Grey hair, good at cleaning (holy crap he wants a nanna)
Turn off: Hard worker
Lifetime Want: Become rock god (taking after his mum :D)
I was getting really sick of Yupa's maxis default half pony and Xavier's flat fro though, so I switched them out:
No nonsense fringed bob for the fortune sim.
And a playful pony tail for the up and coming casanova. :D
Woot I actually remembered to take at least one other shot of King Richard as a baby XD. Serena so should have been a family sim, she fully loves it and hardly ever rolls romance wants. But then again, I probably would have ended up with like fifty children... DX
Yeah so, pretty much resigned myself at this point to having absolutely no sign of Henrik's genetics in any of the kids XD maybe it will skip a generation or something, idk. Hopefully at least whoever gets picked for heir has a little bit of Henrik's features? D:
Henrik: Man I had this weird dream that I married this alien chick, and I had eight kids but none of them looked anything like me...
*patpat*
Yep so the teens got some new duds :D I love the two girls' outfits I have to say.
UHH who brought THIS home from school? Loving the GAWTH look with the 1950s blonde teachers pet hair.
Oh, Avery *shakes head*
Sorry but... yeahnah. No college for you!
The kids still mostly do their homework in the front yard, in the dark.
Serena: Look at me omg I'm so awesome I didn't even get a promotion but seriously, this right here? AWESOME.
Swarm of children: *ignores*
Birthday time for King Richard. Sorry for the weird photo O_O
GAWTH!Kid: Hmm is something going on? Whatever, I need to stretch out my calves.
Xavier: *tries to stuff whole head into bag of chips*
Hehe what a cheeky looking little cutie. Pretty pic of Serena as well :3
Parental responsibilities over for the time being, Serena is pretty much instantly back on the damn exercise bike.
ARGH GOD WHO THE HELL SHOWED HENRIK THE CHEST POUND??!?!?!?!?! DX Thankfully he doesn't know it properly yet.
Wait I reckon it's probably..... FAIL!NANNY. She was totes friends with Amelia Hutchinson who was my Bon Voyage memories getting sim. So yeah don't be surprised if you see a NEW nanny sometime soon :T fucking chest pound, most ridiculous annoying piece of crap... *grumblegrumble*
Serena: *Sproiing!*
Someone is now a.. hate to say it but... a yummy mummy. Lol!
Um, Serena? Hate to suggest it in face of your completely anal retentively obsessive 10 neat pointsness, but as much as I too like a nice crisply made bed, might it not be slightly more important to tend to your stinking, shrieking small child first?
She gets around to it... eventually >_> Serena is really, honestly a great mum, unless there's something needing cleaning/washing/throwing away. Actually, this may explain why there were always piles of rubbish around the house while the quads were babies :T I was probably constantly interrupting Serena mid trip to the bin outside to make her actually sustain the tiny lives she had produced.
Yay promotions! Yeah I haven't shown all of them by any means, because they're just not that entertaining :x Particularly Henrik's since his LTW is completely non career based.
Everyone is still pretty much obsessed with Serena. She usually has a queue of 2-4 kids waiting to harass her.
At least with teenagers in the house now others can take care of some of the cooking and cleaning. Whilst simultaneously being totally adorable... Yupa <333
Yeah THIS is the potty training face you get from someone who has ONE small child to look after rather than somewhere between four and six. I seriously don't give Henrik enough screen time, he is adorable -- but then again, he is a bit boring as sims go :x
Playing catch in the dark with a baseball doesn't seem like the wisest choice in my book - but Jean-Luc Picard and Ebenezer are totally willing to risk eye loss/concussion for some quality after school bonding time.
Is it just me or do they all seem a bit... crushed up in the top left hand corner, here? Still a cute family pic, even with Yupa and Avery mimicing each other. From now on at all the loading screens my game manages to leave out everyone under the age of teen. :x
ARGH! Seriously?!?! OKAY FINE WHATEVER YOU CRAZY SIMS. But this is the LAST LAST baby. No more, so it better be really really adorable and totally worth the million hours of extra play time I will have to put in to get this to adult along with all the others.
(Lol I only found out last night from Nett that the challenge doesn't expect me to actually play all the kids all the way through teen, just to age '18' according to ACR. Yyyyeah so six of the kids were already adult, but I promptly went and aged up the last two XD)
Henrik's never fail impregnation technique strikes again, in the form of a lilting HEY WE HAS EMBRYO lullaby.
Meanwhile, Ebenezer Scrooge is being painfully cute again.
Henrik: *sings* Deebee crumbaloomla, loo la, loom lee, deebee crumbaloomla, doo bap schnerr!
If you didn't quite get that, it's awesome daddy Henrik teaching King Richard a lullaby XD
Serena runs off for her last day at work before she spends another two days of gestation stuck at home. Seriously, the poor woman has spent more working days stuck at home in her purple maternity pyjamas than actually working. :(
So with Serena off working and Henrik looking after King Richard, I tried to get one of the teens to fix the broker trash compactor:
Avery literally TOUCHED the compactor and INSTANTLY got electrocuted. >__<;;; faiiiillll
Her army of siblings are highly concerned D: unsurprisingly since they can totally see their sister's bones being zapped O_O
But thankfully, Avery lives to bake another toaster pastry. Nothing more than a little um... burnt.
OKAY officially at the half way point :D I'll try to get the last three chapters up before next weekend... so five more days, if all goes to plan amidst uni, actual work and trying to get another Kreechur update finished >_O
