The Cho-Riley Household
Time to visit the combined Cho-Riley household. Last time I visited them back in 2013, Vivian and Timothy got married.
Vivian: There was a little something else that happened, just in case you forgot.
Vivian and Etsu used to live on the second floor. Now apparently it’s been converted into a police station.
Hopefully they work the night shift and don’t have to listen to Vivian and Timothy bone all night long.
Timothy: But just in case they’re home, let’s make their life a living hell.
Vivian: Wonderful idea! Fuck the police!
I feel like I should point out here that Vivian is also a police officer.
Vivian: Yeah, why do you think I said that?
Not quite sure why I capped this. Perhaps to commemorate the fact that the auto-walk to school mod worked? Because after this, it never worked again, which is annoying because school buses don’t show up on my apartment lots, which is why I installed the mod in the first place.
Vivian: SNARF SNARF GOBBLE GOBBLE.
Way to go Etsu!
Sally: Sleep tight.
Vivian: Good thing these pants are stretchy!
Sally: And now you’re up, can I ask you something real quick?
Yep, she wanted to go out with Riordan Summerdream, who rustled up a fancy car for the occasion.
Super helpful, thank you!
Timothy: Help, I can’t get out, there’s a child in the way.
Why would you want to leave? It’s Etsu’s birthday!
Etsu: Oh neat, I’m cute.
Vivian: Speaking of birthdays!
Now it’s a party.
Meet Ken! I thought the name was a nice compromise between Vivian’s Japanese heritage and Timothy’s generic white boy background.
Timothy: Thanks.
You’re welcome.
Gallagher: Here’s my present.
Thanks, I hate it.
Thanks, random citizen!
Timothy: Baby goes in fridge!
Don’t be silly, Timmy, everybody knows baby goes on floor.
Little family gathering.
Lucy: Somebody’s missing.
That would be Etsu, who’s decided to do her homework outside for some reason.
She does make it back inside for some teen bonding eventually.
Only to get called back outside by one of the neighbours complaining.
Neighbour: I can smell your apartment from three floors away!
Etsu: *air guitars for some reason?*
And the cop comes back the next morning to complain again.
Etsu: Look, my mom just had a baby last night, we’ve been a little busy.
Neighbour: That’s no excuse, I shall be lodging a formal complaint.
Etsu: You’re a pig, are you quite sure it’s not your stench?
Still, just to be on the safe side, I make Timothy do some cleaning. He wants to max out his cleaning skill anyway, so it’s a win-win.
Except they still lose.
Several times.
Busy apartment tonight.
Which means everybody’s there to help Timothy celebrate his final promotion to Chief of Staff.
Timothy: I’m so excited.
Timothy: To clean this stinky baby!
Etsu: Is there any way you could do that and not trap us all in here with you?
So Sally is the only one free, and she immediately uses that freedom to get her first kiss from Isaiah Gavigan.
I’m afraid she’s a little busy right now, Kimberly!
Time to stop dicking around and start dicking around!
Literally ten seconds later~
Isaiah: Damn Sahira sure is fine!
Vivian: Watch this autonomous baby changing.
Timothy: This place isn’t really big enough for five people. I feel like I’m in prison sometimes.
Vivian: Babe, full offence, but you wouldn’t last ten minutes in an actual prison.
Sally: Woohoo is hungry work.
Etsu: Homework goes on floor.
No, I told you, baby goes on floor.
Etsu: That’s stupid, so we’re not going to do that.
Landlord: WHY DOES YOUR FLAT STILL HONK!?
Sally: Truly a mysterious for our time.
Vivian: GUESS WHO GOT PROMOTED!?
Timothy: Guess who’s got the world’s greatest ass?
Sally wanted to go on a date, so I had her invite Isaiah Downtown to trash-talk Sahira.
Sally: I hear she was patient Zero for like, five years, isn’t that disgusting?
Isaiah: Yeah, sure, Sahira’s so gross, honest.
Mrs C.: Skank.
Sally: JA JA DING DONG.
Isaiah had such a good time, he dropped off a pinball machine, which Etsu and Sally had a lot of fun with.
And then it was time for Ken to grow up.
Horrible suit!
He looks much better after a quick makeover.
Jill: Happy Birthday, COUGH COUGH COUGH.
For fucks sake, can we not keep bringing plague to Ken’s birthday?
Thankfully Vivian’s soup cured everybody pretty quickly, letting her move onto more important things, like toddler training.
While Etsu catches up on her growing mountain of homework.
Etsu: This is such bullshit, why doesn’t Sally have to do hers?
Because Sally didn’t get this popup.
And then Vivian was a werewolf.
Jane: Could we go inside? I just jammed my arm through a bin.
And then Timothy was a werewolf.
Toddler training interlude!
It’s the weekend, and as Sally and Etsu both have music hobbies, I sent them to FM to do some karaoke and forgot I’d set it to force everyone into formalwear.
The girls have some... opinions about Timothy’s lycanthropy.
Sally: Wanna hear my entry for the Eurovision Song Contest?
Pretty pictures of Etsu.
And Sally does a little bit of DJing.
Good for her.
Bit weird that a little sisterly bonding triggered this, but sure!
Lucy: I decided this outing needed some sisterly bonding too.
Angela: Can I bond my fist to her face?
Lucy: Haha! No!
Back home, the furries get acquainted with their new bodies.
Vivian: Thank God nobody made a ‘doggy style’ joke.
You’re welcome.
The next day I sent the family down to the real estate office. Because while Timothy may have been exaggerating, the apartment is pretty cramped now Ken’s growing up, and the girls aren’t due to go to college for a while yet. So they’re getting a house!
And I’m just going to ignore the fact that this was supposed to be an owned lot and now... isn’t.
They celebrate the impending move with a visit to the tea shop.
Sally: The muffins are nice, but I could really go for some eggs right now.
A little tea.
Sally: Hey, we’re moving to Riverblossom Hills in the morning, you wanna help me make some fond memories of this place?
Isaiah: You mean...?
She sure does.
And there they go again.
Just a little mahjong with the landlord.
Landlord: I see you tidied up.
Vivian: It’s called packing.
Landlord: Close enough.
Just Ken getting a cuddle from Etsu because he hasn’t had much screen time.
AND THEN!
Russ: Wait... what?
Yep, jokes on you, Russ! I already moved all the furniture into everybody’s inventories ready for the move!
Russ: I see you kept this out though.
Russ: Ha, forgot about the bunk bed ladder, didn’t you!?
Shit. I did.
SS Driver: I have put plenty of handcuffs on people in my time, don’t test me, boy.
Sally went back to sleep after the robbery, but Etsu was too wide awake, so she spent the rest of the evening singing nursery rhymes to Ken.
And in the morning, they move to this lovely house in Riverblossom Hills. Not the original version, of course. That one sucked.
