Bork Legacy, Generation 4.2!
pixel_trade! Current spouse, Libby Rowan, is by simsforaranya.
Last time, Libby continued to be pregnant, until she gave birth to twins Freyr and Freyja. Then Lincoln influenced the Grand Vampire to bite Ullr and fulfill that week's challenge. Ullr set up a crypt in the garage, and used undead bunnies to help him score a huge bonus at work. Libby became pregnant again, and Freyr and Freyja became toddlers. Lincoln discovered his ~one true hobby~ was chucking balls at people's heads. The next week came, with another challenge rolled: $1000 in permanent heirlooms a day, which I funded with Bunnicula money instead of kachings. Ullr became human again, became a Professional Party Guest and permaplat.
Ullr held a huge party with all his siblings and finally married Libby. Much to Ullr's fear, Libby gave birth again, to a girl, Zisa. The twins became children. Ullr sexed up Rhea Randolph. Zisa became a very happy toddler. The twins got into private school. Libby got pregnant again. Lincoln died. Zisa became a child, and her party was so successful, we counted that as an in with the invited headmaster. We ended with Libby giving birth to daughter #3, Astrid.
So, here's the new challenge! At first I was like, "Score, there aren't any teens in the house!"
...but then I realized...at some point during the week, I would have teens. So, I'm going to roll them secondary aspirations, but anyone that ages up during this week will be...Grilled Cheese.
I'm pretty sure Astrid here is absolutely safe from the Grilled Cheese Mafia-to-be.
Aw, I bet you were hungry!
I'm sure she's just emitting a green cloud of stank because it fits in with this generation's color.
Ullr's dancing has reached new heights of attractiveness.
Some people download private school default replacements. I decided to download a hack that lets the kids wear their everyday clothes. After having eleventy-billion generations in private school, I'd just rather they get to wear the clothes I chose for them more often.
Hi, Mom! I've come over to visit and--
Sorry, honey, I've got to get to work.
Moo-om never has time for me-eeee!
Hariasa, I'm sure it was just a product of bad timing.
I've been trying to figure out what's up with my kids not bringing anybody home. I took out the hack that gives me a pop-up, and they just bring home whoever. I don't know if I need to run HCDU or what.
Or I'll have to decide whether or not I want to go back to having no control over who they bring home, OR not having them bring home anyone.
I don't know if this crowd is trying to get Ullr's attention or Zisa's.
Homework, schmomework.
I used Freyr's childhood command. He's less than thrilled. Or, in math: Freyr < thrilled
It's Astrid's first birthday!
Welp, I think there's another skin I'm probably going to delete. Astrid's got elf ears, too, by the way. That makes for all of the kids.
I tried to give it some "definition" with makeup, but I ended up switching her skin in a bit.
Freyr is such a griper.
Freyja's one childhood command got used that evening, too.
What's wrong with looking like you're an alien?
Oh, only that it's not NORMAL, Freyja!
You know what, Zisa? I happen to know of one little girl who's got some pointy tips to her ears that needs to shut the fuck up.
My hair hides my abnormality!
...for now.
Aw, Vár is being adorable granny!
Astrid's found the fishtank, I see.
With the other three kids at school, Vár and Libby at work, and a job that's three nights a week for like four hours, Ullr has plenty of time to spend focused on Astrid. So he starts teaching her skills! :D
She did well last chance card, let's hope the same thing happens here!
I'd rather have the promotion, as this household's already pretty much ROLLING in money, but okays.
Zisa's homework paid off! Too bad Ullr's napping to be rested for work later.
While Freyja's pissiness might seem justified, as Freyr just pulled a Grandpa Lincoln and threw the ball at her face...
Payback's a bitch, sis.
...Freyja did it first.
Vár's come home with sea_serpent's Jubilee Scallywag. Again.
Has Libby perhaps realized Jubilee's one of her husband's former lovers? No. She's just realized that a green cloud of stank is, well, a green cloud of stank.
imaginepageant's Julian Wilder jogs by and even he can't believe how badly Libby smells right now.
What's with the crowd of people?
What's with this guy?
Oh, he and Ullr made some similar lifestyle choices...
It's 6:58, there's NO MORE SUN, you pussy!
...I think Libby was flirting with the headmaster.
Hey, you.
Uh...yeah?
My kids are having a birthday party. It might be nice if they had a friend their age.
Apparently no one taught Arielle Lutzen (simfinite) about stranger danger?
It's time for Freyr and Freyja to become teenagers.
Much to the delight of many people, including, it seems, perfect strangers?
Freyr is GC/Popularity.
Freyja is GC/Pleasure. And you can see I still need to fix these two's last names, since they were born as bastards.
Freyja!
Gender prefs!
Freyr. Their disparate coloring makes them seem barely related, though I think their facial features are actually fairly similar.
Vesna and Njörðr are being absolutely adorable, as usual!
...it wasn't enough to keep the party from SUCKING, though. (I have no idea what happened.)
It's because you deleted my bed!
Rocko, I had to delete all the beds. And the HOUSE. I ROLLED THE STUPIDEST CHALLENGE.
Vár, I don't know why you invaded while Freyr was in the bath if you refuse to urinate in front of Freyr, but THERE ARE OTHER BATHROOMS.
Phew. Her bladder held out longer than the bubbles, I guess.
This is the greenest picture of the update.
Dude. I'm not playing Myshuno because it's green. I'm playing it because it's--
BOUND TO ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF ME?
So, on a completely unrelated note (aside from me hoping someone will eventually be able to bring him home), I finally grew up the son of Athena Randolph and Trebuchet Dork, Aeneas. HE IS CUTE INCARNATE.
Back to the update, I changed Astrid's skintone, though it wasn't fully switched over until she aged up.
But she did get to learn how to walk, and there was much rejoicing! :D
I am very disappointed that the magazines only have ONE COVER.
Freyja loves the cooking channel! I was amazed, until I remembered I downloaded a hack that...makes GC's favorite TV show the cooking channel.
Vár's having some exercise bike induced issues.
Mother/daughter bonding time would be more cute if it wasn't a) out on the sidewalk and b) in the dead of winter.
Your butt should be cold by now!
I'm Nordic!
NOT REALLY
Vár woke up in time to piss herself in the bathroom. That's...special.
Zisa is constantly helping out around the house. WHICH SHOULD MAKE FREYR'S LAZY ASS ASHAMED
Astrid is a cutie-pie.
At first, I was wigging that the two of them were breaking the fourth wall and shooing ME...
...then I zoomed out.
Freyja, get the hell out!
I just wanted to exerc--
Learn to knock, young lady!
Of course, by the time the two were truly occupied, Vár was lured in by the exercise bike of doom AND the toddler was watching. JESUS.
Later, I was amused by Vár and ghost!Valhalla moving parallel down the house.
Then Freyja stood in the same place for about three hours straight. She wasn't stuck. I moved her a little bit, and I even forced an error on her. She just wanted to stand in place and whistle and tap her leg like she wished she were playing spoons.
Ullr's had a want locked to do three people in public, and I figured he'd done Rhea and his wife in the photobooth, so that should be two. I invited over Maeve not only to fulfill that want, but also to warm her up enough to kill that frozen overlay.
I walked by! The brown, sherpa coat is fairly accurate to my winter attire (though I've been wearing a brown courderoy coat when I can get away with it), but I hate turtlenecks! #quinkietrivia
katu_sims's Einstein Dork was walking by, so I had Ullr greet his father. Not that he should know this. Maybe he just felt a kindred spirit in the fellow raven-haired, elf-eared dude.
Freyr is doing his big-brotherly duty of being a giant jerkface to Zisa. No wonder we haven't seen her :D face in a long time!
Well, Ullr might begin to be suspicious of his paternity if he walks in on this.
Cherry Drop (brilliantcat) came home from work with someone, but she is NOT working her charm on Freyr here. Wait, I thought his sub was Popularity...
You suck.
Winning personality.
Wait a minute. If this guy is my son, that makes that teenager over there my WHAT?!
Congratulations, Einstein, you're a grandpa! :D
Astrid's grown up into a wrong-color version of Zisa's outfit.
Ooooh, as much love as Zisa got last update, I think if anyone's major competetion, it just might be her baby sister! What do you guys think?
Astrid doesn't like chocolate cake, apparently.
SEXAY...what's the occasion?
I'm just imagining Ullr walking into a party like that, and I don't know how the guests will be able to keep a straight face.
This is kind of endearing. I'm wondering if Einstein's embracing his unplanned and, until today, unknown family.
Aw, Zisa, is the :D back?
I like this game!
Why am I not annoyed by this?
At least some Grilled Cheese kids around here means that Ullr has less meals to cook? (I hope.)
Yay! For some reason, though, Freyja set it down instead of serving it. So on one hand, effortless food for Ullr. On the other hand, Freyja didn't get her aspiration points. :(
Now I want you kids to pay attention here. This glorious sandwich is Grilled Cheese. And it is magical.
Freyr, don't you think you're being a littl--
Hush, mother. Let the magical, gooey cheese settle over your very soul.
Dellingr just walked in like he owned the place. I love when the spare do this, especially in ISBIs, because it's not like I have time for Ullr to call up his siblings, unless someone wants a birthday party.
Hello. Thank you for the groceries! My ears are pointy like yours!
Aww, what a cute little girl.
Did Astrid's delivery-accepting really warrant supervision from BOTH of her parents?!
ESPECIALLY WHEN HER OLDER SIBLINGS WERE DOING THIS IN THE KITCHEN?
NOT ONLY IS THIS INAPPROPRIATE, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT GREETED ASTRID WHEN SHE PUT AWAY THE GROCERIES
Mom, Freyr and I are learning how to sumo wrestle!
Is that what the twincest fans are calling it these days?
ASTRID! XD
Ullr actually fawns over his wife for once, as Adrestia Randolph walks by, thinking she would not mind breaking off a chunk of the Bork torchholder.
However, he's a bit occupied. He didn't even notice Dellinger trying to steal lawn ornaments.
iliketoplaygod's Marcus Attawater is very judgmental of the Headmaster's looks. He should've seen how creepy the guy looked when he wasn't wearing the right skintone or eyes!
I'll spare you the tedium, Astrid got in.
Wee, I like your bed Grandma, it's bouncy!
Glad to see you found a time to use the exercise bike of doom when your parents weren't already going at it, Freyja.
This was really pissing Vár off. She kept trying to distract Zisa, and every other action cued was "Disapprove," but still she jumped.
Okay, Grandma, I'll do something different.
You have to watch me, though.
GRANDMA, I AM ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING AWESOME
Vár, Dellingr, don't encourage her.
This would be endearing, except Ullr comes home at 2 fucking am and Zisa has school in the morning.
It's subtle, but I set the lava lamp to be on 24/7, and it gives Ullr's bedroom this nice subtle glow.
What are you looking at, Daddy?
Oh, just a spectacular rack...of weights!
...smooth, Casanova.
Some more mother/daughter parallelism, this time with both of them ALIVE. Synchronized bubble baths!
So, do you want to play on the swings, Zisa?
Halt. It seems to be snowing, so no.
*heavy sigh*
I always havea fond spot in my heart for the children that manage to figure out they have a goddamn swingset.
It's interesting how fish obsession goes in waves, though. The only person that ever glances at the fish since the kids stopped being toddlers is Ullr, and that's really only after I have him feed them.
With a smaller family, it's kind of nice to see all the kids gathered up together in the living room.
See? I just couldn't take a good shot and catch this corner that Zisa was in.
And Zisa never wants to play with me!
Zisa seems creepily interested in your conversation, though, Astrid!
...I retract my previous statement, as there is so. much. more. creepy interest in this photo's conversation.
I'll have to let you go. My sisters are being WEIRD again.
Not that a bit of weirdness can keep these twins from being besties! Though I am left to wonder what took them so long. Considering their earlier "closeness."
Why is there a pile of people heading for my house?
It's your birthday, Zisa!

This one's easier to hit clockwise, from the top: Carbuncle Magicakes, the Headmaster, June Almassy (raemia), Njörðr ork, Hel Bork, Heimdallr Bork, Bruce-Baldr Bork, Dellingr Bork
Einstein's first action was to go bang Vár in the garage. CLASSY kid's party, right here.
I wish...
Her wear is appropriate for winter, at least?
*hits the floor* Even in the midst of my Grilled Cheese week, I manage to get one of my favorite kids hit with the Romance bug as a sub-aspiration.
Orientation.
Zisa...is absolutely stunning.
Ullr wanted to prank someone, and Hel was there.
Put 'er there, Hel.
I don't know why I would want to do that, but I guess...
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
And that's how Ullr made one of his older sisters (a Family one, to boot) cry!
I never thought I'd have a sim who could seriously rock a head full of green hair, but Zisa can!
The last couple bits of this update are very Zisa!spammish. Hopefully it makes up for the earlier Astrid spam.
She still goes :D when she helps clear the table!
Now Carbie, I don't know if you've played Myshuno before, but it's pretty fun!
BEWARE THE MYSHUNO ZOMBIE INVASION
Apparently, Freyja and Zisa's uncles and aunt are ENTHRALLED by their kickybag skills.
I love this game!
BOO, YOU SUCK.
I think Heimdallr is still bitter that a male Romance sim became heir and that should've been his niche.
Dancing with you is so much fun, Bruce-Bragi!
The feeling is mutual!
The only thing that would make it better is if this dude would get out of the way!
Totally!
Thanks for coming out for my birthday, guys. Time for some shut-eye.
Zisa's party was good. Don't know what made it any better than Freyr and Freyja's.
You are definitely your father's daughter.
Don't tell your father we had cake for breakfast, okay?
Astrid's taken up the adorable!Myshuno torch from Zisa.
What's this, Freyr?
Breakfast. Because I totally didn't already have cake for breakfast.
The Borks are so color-coordinated! :D

- I don't know about you all, but I am happy that after a couple dark-haired generations, we've got some Nordic looking sims! Well, alien/Norse hybrid, but that counts, right? XD
- Laurinces next, though I'm not done playing their update. Their lot is so full it is severely trying my patience. :/
Last time, Libby continued to be pregnant, until she gave birth to twins Freyr and Freyja. Then Lincoln influenced the Grand Vampire to bite Ullr and fulfill that week's challenge. Ullr set up a crypt in the garage, and used undead bunnies to help him score a huge bonus at work. Libby became pregnant again, and Freyr and Freyja became toddlers. Lincoln discovered his ~one true hobby~ was chucking balls at people's heads. The next week came, with another challenge rolled: $1000 in permanent heirlooms a day, which I funded with Bunnicula money instead of kachings. Ullr became human again, became a Professional Party Guest and permaplat.
Ullr held a huge party with all his siblings and finally married Libby. Much to Ullr's fear, Libby gave birth again, to a girl, Zisa. The twins became children. Ullr sexed up Rhea Randolph.

Ullr's dancing has reached new heights of attractiveness.

With the other three kids at school, Vár and Libby at work, and a job that's three nights a week for like four hours, Ullr has plenty of time to spend focused on Astrid. So he starts teaching her skills! :D
She did well last chance card, let's hope the same thing happens here!
I'd rather have the promotion, as this household's already pretty much ROLLING in money, but okays.

Freyja is GC/Pleasure. And you can see I still need to fix these two's last names, since they were born as bastards.
Freyja!

Freyr. Their disparate coloring makes them seem barely related, though I think their facial features are actually fairly similar.

Hello. Thank you for the groceries! My ears are pointy like yours!
Aww, what a cute little girl.
Did Astrid's delivery-accepting really warrant supervision from BOTH of her parents?!

NOT ONLY IS THIS INAPPROPRIATE, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT GREETED ASTRID WHEN SHE PUT AWAY THE GROCERIES
Mom, Freyr and I are learning how to sumo wrestle!

ASTRID! XD
Ullr actually fawns over his wife for once, as Adrestia Randolph walks by, thinking she would not mind breaking off a chunk of the Bork torchholder.
However, he's a bit occupied. He didn't even notice Dellinger trying to steal lawn ornaments.

This would be endearing, except Ullr comes home at 2 fucking am and Zisa has school in the morning.
It's subtle, but I set the lava lamp to be on 24/7, and it gives Ullr's bedroom this nice subtle glow.
What are you looking at, Daddy?
Oh, just a spectacular rack...of weights!
...smooth, Casanova.
Some more mother/daughter parallelism, this time with both of them ALIVE. Synchronized bubble baths!
So, do you want to play on the swings, Zisa?
Halt. It seems to be snowing, so no.
*heavy sigh*
I always havea fond spot in my heart for the children that manage to figure out they have a goddamn swingset.
It's interesting how fish obsession goes in waves, though. The only person that ever glances at the fish since the kids stopped being toddlers is Ullr, and that's really only after I have him feed them.
With a smaller family, it's kind of nice to see all the kids gathered up together in the living room.

She still goes :D when she helps clear the table!
Now Carbie, I don't know if you've played Myshuno before, but it's pretty fun!
BEWARE THE MYSHUNO ZOMBIE INVASION
Apparently, Freyja and Zisa's uncles and aunt are ENTHRALLED by their kickybag skills.
I love this game!
BOO, YOU SUCK.
I think Heimdallr is still bitter that a male Romance sim became heir and that should've been his niche.
Dancing with you is so much fun, Bruce-Bragi!
The feeling is mutual!
The only thing that would make it better is if this dude would get out of the way!
Totally!
Thanks for coming out for my birthday, guys. Time for some shut-eye.
Zisa's party was good. Don't know what made it any better than Freyr and Freyja's.
You are definitely your father's daughter.
Don't tell your father we had cake for breakfast, okay?
Astrid's taken up the adorable!Myshuno torch from Zisa.
What's this, Freyr?
Breakfast. Because I totally didn't already have cake for breakfast.
The Borks are so color-coordinated! :D

- Main note: Astrid will not become a teen until after Grilled Cheese-a-palooza has ended, so if you abhor GC heirs, or me writing with GC heirs, you will have a vote option!
- I don't know about you all, but I am happy that after a couple dark-haired generations, we've got some Nordic looking sims! Well, alien/Norse hybrid, but that counts, right? XD
- Laurinces next, though I'm not done playing their update. Their lot is so full it is severely trying my patience. :/
