The Oldies - Round Two
And now it’s time for round 2!
It’s about 2am when I load the lot, and Herb is restocking the fish tank.
While Coral blogs. But don’t worry, it’s not gonna be this all week, I have plans for this household.
Although this did temporarily throw me. I’d completely forgotten I’d booked a vacation for them. In my defence, it was eight years ago.
I popped into the Pleasants first and had a look at Lilith’s relationships panel and although she is getting on with her parents a little better, her relationship with Angela is a dumpster fire. So, she’s moving in with her grandparents!
Herb: I’d love to ask you to move in, but it turns out I can’t.
And then their vacation got cancled cancelled. I’m assuming it’s because I bulldozed all the lots and replaced them, but I’m still mad about it.
So I quit and started again.
And Herb and Coral immediately make the most of the extra hours they got back.
And Lilith got moved in via Simblender.
Makoto: Can I move in too?
Lilith: Absolutely not.
I see you two have plans for Twikki Island.
I also invited Angela. Possibly not one of my best ideas, but I really don’t think Coral and Herb would’ve wanted to leave her out of it. Probably should’ve waited a few days to rebook the vacation so Lilith could repair their relationship over the phone, but oh well, too late now.
Tour Guide: Don’t worry, I shall stand between them and keep them apart.
Lilith: But i want her dead.
Herb: Got room for another one in that hammock?
Coral: Sure, hop on in!
Herb: GERONIMO!
Visiting the ancient ruins.
Against my better judgement, I let the ladies go on a tour. The chance cards on these are always awful, but they wanted to go, so.
Herb: It’s nice, I guess, but it’s not neon flamingo light nice.
Angela: Can we get ice cream here?
Coral: So be a little nicer, OK?
Angela: OK, grandma.
Coral: I mean towards your sister.
Angela: Not OK, grandma.
Soooo I was really looking forward to trying out the surf mod, but I got an error about an NPC Car Controller and Delete was the only option that worked. And when Lilith respawned...
Lilith: On the bright side, I get a hell of a view from up here.
Angela: Whoops.
Coral: I see we’re doing the old ‘bury someone up to their neck’ joke.
Fire Dancer: OK, I think you’re ready to try it with fire.
Herb: Please be aware that if you set my granddaughter on fire, I will kill you.
Rocks. Because rocks are heavier than feathers, right, Limmy?
And then Lilith died.
Angela: Not if I get there first!
Time to turn those murderous intentions towards the training dummy.
Angela: So... this is a nice holiday, isn’t it?
Lilith: Yeah.
Lilith: Bitch.
Angela: I HEARD YOU THINKING THAT!
So I didn’t manage to fix the surfing problem before the end of the vacation (although I did later track it down to my three day werewolf mod, so I’m going to have to remember to take it out next time I send a Sim to Twikki Island, because I’m not dealing with werewolves every damn night) but at least the limbo poles work!
Herb: This is nice. Can we retire here?
Alas, no.
Cheeky.
Still, nice as it is to be on vacation, it’s even nicer to be back home.
Herb: Boom, flowers!
He’s never gonna complete his LTW, so I let him indulge in Naturing in one of the parks Downtown.
Mrs C: HOW DARE YOU WEAR THAT SLUTTY SLUTTY SWIMSUIT IN PUBLIC!?
Townie: But... there’s a pool-
Mrs C: HARLOT!
Herb: And that’s my cue to leave.
Quiet family time.
Coral’s LTW is to max out seven skills.
Coral: One down, six to go.
Lilith: I learned this new eggs recipe for work, I’ll make them for breakfast tomorrow if you like.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder?
Lilith: My life is sunshine right now.
Dunno why all my Sims have started bringing home vacation locals.
Coral: I don’t care so long it doesn’t disturb my skilling.
Herb: Good news! I have graduated from clown school!
On a more serious note, Herb’s life bar is close to running out, so it’s time to make some arrangements.
Herb: Here, have half the contents of my inventory.
Herb: And the other half is for you.
Mary-Sue: Where’s my half, daddy?
What’s this? Hugs? No flames in the thought bubble? Distance really does make the heart grow fonder!
Herb: I WOULD LIKE SOME DISTANCE FROM THE BEES!
How the Goths became the richest family in Pleasantview.
A pregnant woman, Bella? Really?
You might regret that when I get back to Olive’s house.
Bella: You’re too late. I got ‘em all already.
A quick date with Coral.
Seymour: Old people PDA, gross!
Herb: Remember when we went on vacation?
Coral: That was two days ago, so yes.
Herb: Remember the sauna? Shall we repeat that?
Coral: You filthy lech.
Coral: Yes.
Lilith asked a few friends on an outing.
Juliet: Dirk is pretty cute.
She may end this outing with one fewer friend.
Dirk: Wait. Wrong redhead.
Tiffany: Remember all that custom food you deleted?
Shut up, Tiffany.
Lilith is one day from college, and wanted to throw a party, so I let her throw a sports party and made everyone change into activewear.
Then Lilith decided to spend her party doing her homework.
Coral: Bendy arrows.
Lucy: Whatever you say.
But alas, when it was time for her to leave the next day, Herb routefailed so badly trying to say goodbye, he broke his scarf.
Herb: Still, it’s kinda nice to have the place to ourselves. Let’s have a date to celebrate.
Coral: Sounds like a plan!
Herb: Hang on a second, I think I hear something.
Herb: ...Well, crap.
Hula Zombie: Horizontal hula!
Herb: Can it wait five minutes? There’s something really important I was just about to do.
Grim: YOU CAN DO IT IN HEAVEN.
Herb: Oh, well in that case, bye Coral!
Coral: Still not the worst date I’ve ever been on.
Also I had no idea Herb was good enough friends with Nervous to leave him something in his will!
Coral: Hi Mary-Sue, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.
Mary-Sue: Well that’s a bummer.
Mary-Sue: But look on the bright side, you’ll probably see him again soon.
Skill cap plus smart potion means Coral’s racking up the skill points.
But that’s boring as shit to watch, so I invited the Pleasant family over.
Coral: What’s the point in having max cooking skills if you can’t treat yourself to lobster thermidor every now and then?
Just a few points left to go! I sent her out to the gym because it’s more interesting that watching her jump rope in the garden, and it gives her a little extra time.
Plus she gets to make friends like Mortimer Goth here.
Except then my game crashed. Probably because I’d been playing for about six hours straight by then, but still annoying.
So back to the gym she goes!
Coral: What’s up with him?
Probably depressed after years of being spied on through the telescope.
Time for a a hangout with the grandchildren.
Why did I think this would be a good idea?
Still, they do eventually stop fighting long enough for a meal.
Coral: I see Venus, I see France...
Herb! Hi Herb! How’s the afterlife?
Herb: YOU MOVED MY GRAVE!
Well yes, it was in the middle of the living room floor.
Herb: I AM VERY MAD ABOUT THIS.
Tough.
The matchmaker came by with a genie lamp! But I’m not going to bother using it because Coral only has a day or two left.
Which she is spending skilling.
Coral: Let me tell you about my vacation.
Jason: No.
Coral: I’m gonna do it anyway.
And the week ends with Coral reaching her LTW with what looks like one day left to go! Which means she gets another eight years to enjoy it!
