You keep me coming back for more,
pixel_trade! Generation 3 spouse, Libby Rowan, is by
simsforaranya.
Last time, we viewed the results of the heir poll and...Zisa won! I also sent the adoptees, along with Aeneas Dork, to college with the heir eligibles. I learned that Zisa's LTW was to become a Visionary. Zisa began dating, starting with
steezie_k's Blake Creelman. She made her way through the male dormies, also dating
brilliantcat's Ferdinand August. Then she crystal ball'd up Furbolg Magicakes.
Brodie did poorly in school and was put on academic probation. Zisa picked her major--Art. Billy Joe laid a kiss on Liza Amore (
senzastelle) and she liked it. Then they banged in the photobooth. Zisa romanced (
qualanqui)'s Neville Spicoli. Brandon hooked up with
alfredaskew's Denai in the photobooth, likely eliminating him from Zisa's list of possible conquests. Brodie got off of academic probation; Brandon found himself on it. Finally, Zisa lost her virginity to Blake. Yep, the controllable was the third one to do it of the household. Funny, huh?
Hey. Ferdinand. Maybe Brandon likes him smelly?
Yep, Liza, them some creepy twins, aren't they?
Aaand Denai's in love. Collectively now, awww.
Then I heard...chimes?!
Yep, Brandon's the first victim beneficiary of me installing some sort of preg4all flavor to ACR. Brandon? You're welcome.
Here's a walkby by
javabean_dreams's adorable Sunshine Smith.
Zisa invited her in, since I was hoping maybe Freyr could be forced to have some interest in a blonde not already related to him. (No dice, though.)
Hahaha, pancakes again!
Astrid's lost whatever thin thread of sanity she was hanging onto.
Ever since it helped her earn the last creativity point she needed to pass, Brodie and the WOOG WOM WOM synthesizer have been BFFs.
Is grilled cheese too much to ask for? WAHHHH
...now I know why Brandon's so adamant that he's adopted.
Note Zisa in the background. About to make some goddamn GC.
...that is about the happiest I've seen Astrid in ages.
Everyone is pleased! :3
Will I ever get a chance to know the goddess behind me?
Checo Magicakes, you're a good candidate for romancin' Brodie. You're both by-products of Angelina challenges. You both have crazy Grilled Cheese siblings.
(I had Zisa invite him in.)
Then I had Zisa influence one of them to talk to the other, much to Checo's pleasure.
Unfortunately, Brodie hates talking to everybody. Sorry, Checo. Maybe you could attempt to romance Astrid, between bouts of crying, or Freyja, between bouts of grinding on her twin brother.
Hey, Astrid. There's something in the dining area you need to see.
What would that be?
Just a cute guy eating a grilled cheese.
Does that mean that there isn't any more for me?!
Good god, forget I said anything.
Does it?!?!
Hi, do you live here?
No, I met a girl I thought I liked, but we can't even have a conversation.
I'll talk to you!
Oh. Okay. What's your major?
I don't know!
At least one of the girls knows what boys are for! And, luckily, it's the one who's going to have to reproduce.
So, remember what I said about regretting the photobooth?
ZISA IS NOW PREGNANT LIKE HER BROTHER
So, that worked up an appetite. Grilled cheese sound good, honey?
Actually, I'm starting to feel queasy and light-headed.
Oh no, sounds serious. You should go lie down!
I should have known this would happen.
Oh yeah, well then tell me how either one of us could have known that you, as a man, could be carrying a child!
I've been sleeping with an alien!
Like sleep had anything to do with it!
Lover's spat?
Poor Aeneas. Stuck in a never-ending loop of grilled cheese and incompetance.
Aaand this is why we don't see much of Billy Joe. He's still terrifying.
Oh god, I'm going to be a single father college drop-out!
Hey now...while I probably won't let you marry Denai, no, you have a chance to graduate if Zisa manages to do it before you give birth!
I guess I should be more surprised that something like this hasn't happened sooner.
Whatever's wrong with your life, just about all of your siblings have it worse, Freyr.
So, wanna make out?
Ferdinand, you and your
one track mind...
STOP IT YOU TWO
Here's Khione Randolph, currently well in the lead of her own heir poll.
Ah, a walkby that I'm not responsible for!
kingmike1224's Echidna Magicakes-Andrews.
And the popping begins.
How can he be pregnant? I'm pregnant.
At least Brodie's not pregnant, because there's no way in hell she's gotten any farther than refusing to talk to a boy.
I've got a few more clothes with preg morphs for men since my last male pregnancy, yay!
Looks like Denai's warmed up to the idea of a baby, at least.
Zisa's only got one semester left by my playing rules, so I might not have to drop out any pregnant sims!
We do take advantage of Ferdinand's dogged devotion to Zisa to get a term paper written. It's got a hidden advantage--he can't stalk her while busy at the computer.
So who is Liza in a brawl with?
Wow. Brodie won.
Remember, Liza's beaten up Danica Dallas repeatedly, so this makes Brodie more badass than Danica Dallas, right?
Damn straight.
Popfest continues~
No more projectiles, Brandon. You're gestating!
See?
Fortunately, everyone's passing!
Because it's close to the graduation deadline.
And by close, I mean it's now!
Zisa, grilled cheese doesn't count as cuisine. Sorry.
alfredaskew's Jean walks by, too late to be anything but a cameo this Uni round.
I threw Zisa a grad party. She was in need of a shower, so she'll be magically back to green hair the next time you see her.
Bare minimum for spares, yes, but they got accelerated degrees! :P
So, you're the bitch that attacked my baby girl?
Ullr--she lost. Go easy on her.
Haha, right.
Aeneas is out first, as this was just a means to an end for him. ;)
Astrid's in a big hurry. Like ageless limbo is really much better...
Guys. I'm really, really glad Astrid didn't win the poll, because SOMEBODY is wayyyy too obsessed with Grilled Cheese.
Hahaha, that's right, I forgot this whole time that Liza and Billy Joe have been in LOVE with one another. No wonder he looks so freaking evil...
Brandon, no, the sudden loss of baby bump doesn't mean you're magically not pregnant.
An adoptee has an LTW I'd never do. Big whoop. ;)
Oh god!
Did you just realize that your babydaddy is directly behind you and knows nothing of this pregnancy shebang?
Well, he might suspect something now...
Haha, so it's not a matter of "if" I'm having a generation pink, but when...
Aw, now Billy Joe realizes he comes from a long line of male slackers... XD
You'd think Brodie's one of the cheese sims...
...but she's definitely a Bork at heart.
Oh dear, Zisa randomly going blonde again can only mean one thing...the party's over!
Freyja's got the distinction of being the only one to age up into the right color outfit!
Freyr's got the better LTW for ISBI play, though. I'd have been a little angry if Freyja won the poll and I had to attempt the date thing, because I doubt I'd succeed.
Brandon got his own little lot and gave birth pretty much immediately.
Twins! One of each gender, with randomly generated names. There aren't enough theme names in my list to name spare spares.
Everyone else is sharing a lot with their college looks...
...though I changed Frejya's hair again.
This is a horrible picture, but I moved Zisa back home...
...a home which now looks like THIS. I think redoing the house with the new color is kind of fun!
Well, I see you were busy doing SOMETHING in college...
What makes you say that, Mom?
I think you're going to be glad that a couple of your kids got pregnant early on, Libby.
It's Tuesday, so time for a challenge! I rolled this one.
(Small warning, totally forgot about the Garden Club thing. Will have to do that next update, the week isn't over anyway.)
So, guys, THIS WAS THE HOUSEHOLD FUNDS. Unless you wanted to wait until about June for the next update, I was not going to buy over 400 grand in landscaping shit. Especially considering all the gnome paraphenalia already in the front yard.
I set Zisa down in the living room...
...and got to work beautifying the outside. Did I mention it was winter? IT WAS WINTER.
Take my word for it that this is a nice pond with water plants, several fountains, and a natural sitting area with umbrella.
A very green pool, because pools are expensive or something?
A nice green outdoor area!
Then, having felt I followed the spirit of the challenge, I got rid of the rest of the money. Let's pretend the tiles in the swimming pool are made of emeralds.
In retrospect, I probably should've wait to do that until AFTER the repairman I'd invited over prior to rolling the challenge had finished and gotten paid. But he only stole a bookcase, and we've got plenty of those.
Zisa's portrait is in the kitchen, and her grilled cheese paintings ended up in her bedroom.
And it's time to get our first glimpse of generation 5! :)
I totally roll with the random~
We've got a boy, with blonde hair like both parents, Zisa's eyes, and what appears to be her very skintone. His name is Loki.
A girl, with blonde hair as well, skintone close to Zisa's, and grandma Libby's alien eyes. Her name is Lofn.
dothesmustle's Adam Piper has been sitting as an acquaintance for Zisa for quite sometime, so let's have a date!
Brandon just pops in to visit without prompting. Too bad he couldn't bring over the babies.
I see these two have really hit it off!
Now that Ullr is uncontrollable and rarely has to work, he spends a lot of time doing this. Though he'll get on the exercise bike when I'm not looking...
This is another day, but Zisa invited Adam back over. This was actually another play session, so I forgot they'd already had an actual date.
Well, until this happened when they greeted each other.
Love happened quickly, though I don't pretend to know what they were trying to do here.
On one hand, took long enough for the plaque. On the other hand, DAMN YOU EXERCISE BIKE!!
While trying out another woohoo venue, Zisa found herself pregnant again. That was quick.
Despite the chemistry AND love, however, Adam's not down with Grilled Cheese. That kind of makes you not a keeper in the long run, Adam...
Hariasa comes home from work with Libby. Checking up on her little brother?
It's also birthday time for the twins.
Loki inherited the elf ears!
He's like a pure clone budded of his mother, from what I can tell, though.
And here's Lofn. Very adorable, but no elf ears.
Might be the skin, but I don't think Lofn looks as much like Zisa as Loki does.
Hariasa just realized that her baby brother's elderly.
Whoops, Libby shouldn't have let herself be "called to dinner" if she was that tired. And poor Zisa's got more severe morning sickness than the last time.
We'll just quietly clear the plates away from around Libby...
You want me to change your diaper? But your mommy is right there!
I'm doing dinner clean-up, Dad, but if it's that big of a deal, I'll be finished in a minute.
Thank god.
God, does he smell!
You wouldn't believe he'd raised any kids, would you, Mom?
To be fair, it's not like Libby was a huge amount of help with the diapers back in the day.
Poor Zisa. :(
Male Zisa or male Zisa?
Zisa sets her grilled cheese down on the invisible counter to pop. Well, good for you, that's no more morning sickness! :D
Thanks for that, Lincoln. I wasn't expecting Libby to be the one stinking up the nursery.
Now, Ullr was going to change Loki's diaper, but then Libby walked out, fresh from her post-self-pissing shower, and...the picture's self-explanatory.
Sometime later, Ullr shows that he hasn't forgotten that toddlers can be put on a potty. Unfortunately, I think that, afterwards, he forgot.
Don't they look like such happy babies?
Lofn isn't mad at Zisa, she's mad that Zisa locked the bathroom door. She how HAPPY she looks? :3
This was a new animation for me. A long distance greet?
HI HONEY!
MOM!
Brandon. Of course.
He's a big ol' momma's boy. I wish the others would visit, but I'm happy to have someone visit, at least!
Another trimester for Zisa.
I'm a little worried, Zisa. You're still single, have another baby on the way, and you don't have a job! Your mother and I won't be around forever, you know.
But Dad, I graduated Summa Cum Laude! I've been trying to find a job in my field, and I'm not even being picky, but I can't even get anyone to hire me as a wedding photographer!
It's true. No art jobs as of the writing of this update. Simple LTW is becoming harder than it should be.
Happy shot, no?
Too bad someone's dying!
Libby fought valiently against the reaper's return for her, but her time was out. I was momentarily surprised by this, but I remember one of the reasons why I drastically shortened the teenhoods of the adoptees was the fact that Libby was close to dying of old age. :(
Wow. I bet now that Libby's gone, Brandon won't be visiting us much anymore.
The current grave lineup. It's almost morbid how I left a spot there for Ullr, but he's got quite a bit of time left on his lifebar.
Guess who has a birthday tomorrow?
Mom's never going to see my new baby!
Aw, don't cry buddy.
I'm blaming Lincoln's ghost, because it seems like the biggest asshole.
Sad little loading screen shot.
Sim!Quinkie hasn't gotten the memo yet that it was 80 degrees outside the day I was playing this.
Let's see how Adam/Zisa spawn turned out!
SPOILER: It's just one.
Another girl, with Zisa's eyes, very pale skin, and Adam's brown hair. At least she should look slightly different than her siblings. Or she'll just look like one of them with a dye job, who knows.
Her name is Eostre. Seemed spring-like, though I can't honestly remember if its etymology is related to Easter or not.
At first, I was like, "Why is Carla Von Prism-Andrews (
kingmike1224) wandering through the house?"
I guess she heard the birth and decided to check it out. Then she wandered out.
Twin birthday time, at any rate!
So, Loki wasn't in the red OR the green. Lofn was in the red, so she fared just as badly.
And then, right after cake, he did this. Just in case there was a chance he could get out of his funk easily.
Still looks like Zisa with her hair lopped off. Sorry, hon.
Here's Lofn.
A smile one minute, a tantrum the next?
She's a bit bi-polar. Despite her worse mood at her birthday, I think she's better adjusted than Loki.
Lofn: Let's play!
And they happily do.
Loki: Die!
So, Lofn cheerfully kicked her brother's ass.
No hard feelings, right?
I got my butt kicked by my sister!
...you ATTACKED her!
He rages in the background, while Lofn shoots some hoops and realizes SHE LOVES SPORTS.
Then Loki puts on the same outfit, does the same thing, and has the exact same reaction. I hope they can work out their differences, because I might otherwise think they were the same damn person.
So, Libby, who made most of the money, has passed right after I lowered their funds to $0. I also have the urge for Zisa to have another kid fast so they're all ridiculously close together, though that might be a bad idea! I also don't know if I want her to get married at all...she doesn't seem especially interested in it.

Sorry for the small absence in story updating. I made
a bunch of Pookleted hairs, and I also started randomly posting on tumblr (as Quinctia). I also went on vacation~
I plan on updating the Randolphs next and soonish, so toddle over there for the heir poll if you haven't already.
Oh, and I think I'm going to forego having an indigo generation and go straight to violet/purple from blue. I'm thinking Blue - Purple - Pink - White - Black - Rainbow/Neon...I like the idea of having Generation 10 tie everything together. I also am not 100% sure on the white/black thing or the order. Just having a monochrome gray generation as one theme would be cool, but then I'd need another color scheme to add in, so I have to think about it. But, if all else fails, I have an order that's doable, I guess! :)
