Almost done!!! Only Pleasantview left to go and we'll have made it through a full rotation! Strangetown was a lot of fun, and had a bit of a baby boom, but not quite like the one in Veronaville. Of course that means the
family tree has expanded! I still need to add pictures of the Strangetown folks, but you can still take a look if you want. I really want to get the Pleasantview post out this weekend, so I can start on round 2 during Thanksgiving break, but I don't know how possible that is. While I don't have any more midterms to study for, I do have a term paper and a project due next Tuesday and Wednesday, which I planned on finishing up this weekend. Well, finishing the project and totally writing my paper, but still. My homework load is pretty light for the rest of the week, so I'll try to make progress on my term paper and project, so I won't feel so bad playing some this weekend. Enough about my boring academic life, and onto the antics of Strangetown!
Olive Specter: I may be in the minority here, but I never found her that interesting. Sure she has a mysterious graveyard next to the house, had many husbands and son with Death, but she's still a boring elder. Maybe it's because I'm not playing this as a plotty story, but either way she's not that interesting, but some fun stuff did happen at her house.
No makeover for Olive, since her look suits her and I'd be tempted to give her eyebrows. She spent most of her time skilling since she wants to max all 7 skills.
Appropriate welcome wagon. Olive has two bolts with PT9, but that won't happen, even though he and Jenny only have one bolt. They don't seem like the cheating type.
Hi, fake Bella!
Bye, fake Bella! She'll make a nice addition to Olive's garden, and now I'll actually know which Bella is online.
Oddly, the pizza girl was the only one who ever came in the house, but she scared Olive all the time.
Sophia called 3 times a day. As soon as they'd hang up, she'd call right back.
Then right before the season changed, Bella made an appearance. :)
Buzz and Buck Grunt: Buzz has married Erin Beaker in my game twice, and one of those times she was also seeing Tank. Buck just skills, grows up and dates Jill Smith. This time it was different. Buzz is still single, and Buck skills, grows up and doesn't date Jill. :)
Buzz, he looks much more approachable now. And Buck doesn't get a makeover since he'll be growing up anyway.
Jill drops by unannounced and reaches for the nonexistent doorbell.
Aww! BFFs and soon to be not future lovers, unless by chance they become triple bolters.
Sorry, Klara, but not going to happen.
Buzz was asked on an outing by the Uberhood stalker Sophia Jocque and she brought along an interesting group.
Obligatory DJ picture. :)
Then Buzz wanted to throw a party, and so he did, and love which I approve of blossomed. :D
Those two have apparently made up, but they're still getting divorced.
Ripp being a cutie.
Heather being a cutie. :)
I'm still not sick of these two! Although, whenever I wasn't paying attention she kept trying to sneak off to the bedroom with Buzz.
It's probably not very smart to harass an evil witch...
The next night it was Buck's birthday, and the general wanted to throw another party and he did. It was a failure.
It was all Opal Contrary's fault! The party got up to a Roof Raiser, then Opal decided to be rude to EVERYONE she came across. The score dropped to Real Dud, so Buzz sent her home and it went back up to Snoozer. Now Buck has a bad memory for his crappy birthday party. :(
No more helicopter for Buzz. He wants to be the head of the SCIA, so back to the crappy carpool junker.
They'd be an interesting couple...
The Smith Family: Hooray for the Smiths! I just like them, and have always made Jenny and PT have twins. I debated whether or not I wanted them to have another baby this time around, since there's enough Sims in the neighborhood and they're already on the family tree...
PT9. yes his outfit looks the same, but it's the one from Family Fun Stuff, because I hated the socks on his original outfit.
Jenny, and no Jill since just like Buck, she's growing up. And can anyone please point me towards any recolors of Jenny's sweater please? :)
They both wanted to WooHoo, so why not.
That's not awkward...
I had him put on clothes after that. I'm sure the welcome wagon appreciated it.
Since the welcome wagon was over, I figured they should just invite all of their friends and family.
I can definitely picture those two as friends.
Chloe couldn't make it to the party, but she did call to invite PT on an outing where she proceeded to become Morty's mistress.
Cute photos to go above the fireplace. :)
That's Mercutio, and no he didn't just come out of there with Ripp. Although that would be interesting. Ripp is actually in there with Chloe.
I love how she has space maternity PJs! Obviously I decided they should have another baby, plus Jenny wanted it.
Tara Kat was wandering by so PT invited her in for some interesting conversation.
I figured one of Jenny's brothers would be a good match for her, so I invited them over. She chose Lazlo.
Is it just me, or do they look alike?
More serious Sims being cute. :)
I know what you're all wondering, and the answer is no, Vid does not wear clothes while visiting other people.
Thanks, ACR! :D
And then they couldn't keep their hands/lips off each other.
Skip forward a bit...Jenny goes into labor during Jill's birthday party! And I wonder who was calling?
The gardener came in to watch the birth even though there's a ton of plants that needed trimming. She ended up staying until 2AM.
That's no way to hold a baby...anyway, that's baby girl, June Smith! She threw up on Jenny. LoL
Uh oh...
I love when couples who I didn't want to together, who got together anyway, break up on their own. Now Johnny can move back in with his parents and with Erin! Then Ophelia can marry Tybalt. :D
Teen Jill. :)
Johnny being a great big brother. :)
June's birthday already!
She's the cutest I've ever gotten from them!
And the smartest! She learned all three toddler skills before the season changed!
The Curious Brothers: These three have always been alien baby factories in the past, and that's not going to change. I love love love alien babies. Anyway, as you already know, Vidcund is seeing Monica Bratford, Lazlo is seeing Tara Kat, and Pascal is single and pregnant.
First order of business!
Then while I was trying to give makeovers, Pascal finds it a good time to go into labor.
Baby boy, Aries...
and his sister, Nashira! This was totally weird for me, since in the past I always gave Pascal cheesecake, and this time I didn't! Okay, NOW makeovers...
Pascal
Vidcund, who made it back safely. :)
Lazlo
Bye, Laz! :D
Vid gets some practice in, while Jessica Peterson observes. She's been pregnant for a really long time.
Woo!
These two get to go on a proper date now that he has returned from space.
But their date is interrupted, because it's birthday time for the twins and Pascal isn't home from work yet.
Aries
Nashira.
They make me kind of miss the Maxis PT, but then again I love having variation. However, I originally planned on switching out my current multi-PT for a new one, but then I decided to keep it in so alien kids can be related to each other through their PT. All for the good of the family tree!
Jenny drops by to meet the newest editions to the family.
REMINDER: Help me find recolors of that sweater! Thanks. :)
Vid is pregnant and in love! Aww!
Ericka, the gardener, is over which means...
Creepy labor face!
A girl! This is Navi, and she has the same pollinator as Millie Contrary, which means another extension of the tree!
And she also threw up, so I blame Ericka.
Then late that night, Lazlo waves for my attention because...
Vid and Monica are getting engaged!
Oh, and because he had a girl, too! Her name is Zaniah!
Then the next day, Tara stopped by for some non-reproductive WooHoo, which was followed by...
Navi's birthday! Of course, Vidcund isn't home, and Lazlo is busy, so Pascal does the honors.
She looks a lot like her pollinator. I wish more Vid was in there, but I like her anyway. Huge lips and tiny eyes compared to her huge eye tiny lips cousins. :)
It was also Aries birthday!
Which means it was also Nashira's birthday! Wow, pregnancy to childhood in one season.
But alas, their time is up, so I leave you with Nashira showing off her awesome building skills.
The Beakers + Nervous Subject: I normally move Nervous out, and either in with Olive or the Curious brothers, but I left him here this time.
Nervous Subject
Circe, and Loki just got a change of clothes which you'll see later.
Later, LoL. Since I don't like being mean to my Sims, Loki and Circe are nice to Nervous, and in exchange, Nervous serves them yummy grilled cheese three times a day. :D
Nervous and Circe were invited on an outing by Vidcund, where Nervous met Jason Cleveland. There's 2 bolts there!
It must have been ladies' night. :)
He reminds me of Popeye. :D
She shouldn't look so shocked. She wanted to WooHoo and Loki wanted a baby...
Nothing was happening except everyone skilling like maniacs, soo...
Baby passing! Andrea and...
Andromeda! I love how they have totally different colorings.
And that is it from Strangetown! :D
