Laurince Legacy, Generation 18.1!
Hello! Last time, Quinn called up the fraternity and kicked off a season of pledging to cull down the numbers of Gen 17 I'd have to play through university. After friending up placeholders Max and Marko Laurince, we were down to: Quimby (the heir), Quý, Queenie, Quark, and Quinn. Queenie immediately hopped into bed with Marko, while Quý ended up in the hot tub with Max. And I headdesked.
Quark got engaged to her girlfriend, Sonja, and Quimby got to know sparespare Hermione a bit better. Someday, she'll end up back in the legacy! Marko hooked up with Quinn. The spares got invited over to party, pledge, and become free fraternity labor. Queenie got engaged to her high school beau, solely to encourage her to stop banging Marko, which didn't work. Quý continued to skill excessively, and Quimby met Evangelina, his future wife. During a frat party, Quint ended up banging Typhoid Jenna, who had unfortuntely been cured of the plague due to being a public health hazard. Finally, the kids at the frat graduated, plus Quentin (because of his father's LTW), and everyone else dropped out.
Quimby's moved home, so we immediately invite over Evangelina. Though Quimby's got some romance leanings, he's mainly a family sim, so he wanted to get married and have a ~wedding~.
He's also finally learning some facial expressions! Fantastic, I can almost justify having him for heir for more reasons than "I wanna" now!
Evagelina, however, is not only ridiculously gorgeous but the queen of facial expressions. It's a match made in heaven, despite the fact that she's a Romance sim and, when I rolled for a secondary aspiration...she rolled Romance again.
...maybe she won't go crazy too quickly, this isn't an ISBI, after all!
HAHAHA...oh no. That's not going to happen. I find it interesting she's so set on being employed, she eventually rolled a fourth want. I ended up locking the dance and intelligence wants.
I didn't give her a makeover, really, but I changed her clothing to suit her being a Romance sim.
Okay, it's time for a wedding!
Qistina, Quistis, Quý.
Qo'nos, Queenie, Quint.
Quinn, Quincy, Qitarah, Max.
Quark, Quentin, Penelope.
Peter and Norah.
Norah, why the hell are you just smiling stupidly while your only two children abuse each other?
Apparently, Quimby needs to limber up before the ceremony.
Persephone! Yep, the game wouldn't let me officially invite all the guests I needed wanted to, so I had Parvati invite the rest of her siblings over via telephone. So Pansy and Pistachio will be in these pics in the background, too!
So, lovely ceremon--uh, Quincy?
Upset that his twin is moving on to a new stage of life without him?
Oh well, the lovebirds didn't notice.
I hope Parvati doesn't have a problem with her new daughter-in-law. Because, if she does, I might have a problem with Parvati.
Haha, of course you do, sweetheart.
Oh, also notice that while Parvati didn't care that much about Quimby getting hitched, a LOT of his relatives were pleased. (Including his dad way out there.)
Yup, Norah, they're gonna go make a baby!
:D
Almost the teaser pic. But, I figured it might not be such a draw for those who didn't know the backstory.
Poor Quinn just can't escape her asshole brother. :(
No, you're not being safe, Evangelina, you are there to make a baby.
So make one!
Look, Qo'nos, the only reason Persephone comes back to the family compound is to steal the computer. She's not gonna move.
Quark's got the right idea: weddings are for boozing.
And the happy couple attempted to make it to their honeymoon. Unfortunately, the numerous guests blocked the portal and the limo got stuck.
Evange wasn't exactly pleased that this was her consolation prize for losing out on her trip of bliss.
Pistachio didn't leave at the end of the party, which gave me a chance to notice he did actually inherit his mother's nose. Oh well, it's not like I needed another kid in the running for Gen 16 heir.
Aw, just in time to gain your pregnancy weight!
Quark also remained after the wedding. I don't think her reasons were quite as innocent as her uncle's.
Love how Parvati and Saul didn't manage to get their formal clothes on until after the vows, but hours later, they're still in 'em.
So, there were random people filing into the house without even knocking. At first, I thought it was something to do with the wonky ending of the wedding party. But it was driving me nuts...as much as I didn't mind seeing Fletcher (son of Gen 5's Eve) turn up at the time.
So, you know, if you ever get curious...
...you do realize that I married your brother, right? This morning?
Quark also has a fiancée!
Really, really wish that family members could autonomously drop by more often than they do. I like to see sims interact with their siblings.
Sure, you're just like 83 or something. What could go wrong?
Quimby did his own heir portrait. He's still in the formal wear, haha.
I don't like this thing as well as chess.
What, besides woohoo, do you like better than chess, Orchid?
Didn't take Evangelina long to find a job she wanted. If Quimby ever rolls a want for a job, I'll make him get one.
Gen 18 is on the way!
Which turns Quimby on.
No, seriously, guys.
~post-coital bliss~
I'm sick of eggplant juice.
SaulxParvati 4eva
I'm sure that, someday, when I run out of wall space in their house finally, I'll regret spouse portraits. Today is not that day.
Qo'nos comes to visit! :D
What's Orchid grinning about? Well, I changed her into her activewear so she could walk to the music and dance lot...
Aw, come on darlin, nervousness doesn't become you. You're Orchid fucking Laurince!
For some reason, I couldn't get anyone to begin a solo dance contest, so smustle contest it is. Bitch back there in black is jealous of Orchid's swag.
Orchid, beating her former lovers in dance contests well into her eighth decade.
In celebration, happy plant spores.
Bye, Orchid!
And all is forgiven.
Quý's just here to steal the newspaper. Not visit. :(
Evangelina's a bit odd. Though she has the occasional woohoo-related want, she's not exactly focused on her romantic desires.
Though her want to become friends with Orchid might be to pick up tips on hooking up with 20 random partners, who knows.
So, I saw this LTW option on Cyjon's debugger and did it for Orchid, out of curiousity. Has more than enough best friends, graduated children, and money earned for all those LTWs. She also at one point had 20 simultaneous lovers, I'm pretty sure. In conclusion: Orchid's officially more awesome than Flint Laurince in every conceivable capacity.
My favorite food is Grilled Cheese, it's so gooey and delicious!
Evangelina also wants to be friends with Parvati.
Her acceptance of cheese talk miiiiiight be due to strange pregnancy cravings, however.
So, I've decided you guys owe me about a million years of back rent. Pay up.
I can see you really love it, Parvati!
Dude, you were the one that wanted to be her friend! I'm not, like, forcing you to talk to her here, either.
Oh no, secret familial strife?
I like to think Pamela's actually concerned, but I bet she'd love to get herself some hot Quimby action.
...yet Evangelina's getting her own grilled cheese out here. Talk of a thing makes a pregnant woman want it for lunch?
(Yes, grilled cheese talk and grilled cheese eating were on two consecutive days.)
BABY TIME
:D
We've got a boy, Reeve, with fairly dark skin, Evangelina's eyes, and her brown hair. And to think I was worried that Evangelina might lead to a generation of stupidly pale children!
A girl, Raine, with lighter skin still sliiiightly darker than her mother's, Evangelina's eyes and hair.
THIS BIRTH HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED SO WE CAN ALL LOL AT SAUL
LOL
Aaaand, another boy, Robert, with tan skin, Quimby's brown eyes, and Evangelina's brown hair.
We've got triplets! Since Quimby's LTW is to marry off 6 kids, we've got half the required number taken care of.
While Parvati can give no fucks about the grandchildren until they can eat sandwiches, Saul is very happy about this development.
You're here to congratulate me on what?!
I heard you just became a grandma!
And you're about the hottest great-grandma I've ever seen, Orchid!
...I'm still not ever sleeping with you again.
And our lot's random visitor thing keeps happening.
And, despite only being at about 80-something sandwiches out of 200 eaten, Parvati's gone perma-plat because of all the talking, cooking, and force-feeding of grilled cheese she's done over the years.
I think she deserves it.
I needed at least one shot of Orchid with Generation 18. She's holding Raine here, going for a diaper change.
Quimby, instead of rolling something useful like a career want, wants to make pottery. And more babies. Not in that order, I don't think.
I'm torn. Do I tell him to never do this again, or tell him to never consider not doing this again?
After making one plate, he immediately wants to cuddle every last triplet.
At least he's fully on board with this stay-at-home dad thing.
Because Evangelina finally got to go to work, and she got promoted immediately!
She also carpooled with this lovely lady, who turned EIGHTY FUCKING SEVEN.
Aw, Orchid had a lovely day at work.
YOU'RE SIMPLY IRRESISTABLE
Actually, Grim, you've resisted with Orchid longer than I've ever see--
I CAN GO RIGHT INSIDE AND TAKE THAT REDHEADED DUDE WITH THE STUPID HAIR
Forgot to mention it was the triplets' first birthday, and I had a badly timed birthday party invite in the works? Quincy just got a bad surprise.
Orchid had a GINORMOUS in heritance. At least everyone else realized how awesome she was. T_____T
Evangelina makes it to the cakes first. Quimby had a lot of crying to do before he was able to get his assigned baby to the kitchen.
NO
THE BABY THING, MAYBE
OTHERWISE, NO
Raine was the first to age up! She's gorgeous, but I see a lot of her mother in her.
Reeve got assistance from Saul, and here he is. Aside from darkening Reeve's hair, I just left them the way they aged.
Quimby was just sobbing his eyes out, but he's happy to see his kids grow?
Robert had a little less luck in the hair department. I don't think the shape of that hair suits toddlers.
That's better!
I'm getting the impression that Evangelina's not that fond of Parvati.
And Quimby got to see all of that.
He stalks out of the kitchen, and everyone's puzzled that Evangelina hasn't followed.
Except Quark. I don't even know if she bothered to watch the actual birthdays at the birthday party.
Quincy, watching your brother try to make another baby...kinda creepy, man.
WHY ARE ALL OF QUIMBY'S SIBLINGS LUSTING AFTER HIS WIFE?!
Shh...I think I might be pregnant again.
Spoiler: She is.
Evangelina is a bit of a curiosity as a straight-up Romance sim. She wasn't afraid of marriage, isn't afraid of kids, only relationship related fear was of Quimby's death.
Right now, she's afraid of Orchid becoming a zombie, but everyone in the family's frightened of that!
So Evangelina starts teaching Raine to walk, while Robert gets acquainted with one of his uncles.
Soon, though, Quimby's teaching Robert to talk because they both wanted it!
Lots of toddler spam in this update. I'm already happy about the results of Quimby/Evangelina, and we're only half done!!
Reeve's definitely got the close eye spacing that Quimby inherited from Saul. That's about the only thing I can distinguish right now on the triplets' face structures, the eye spacing.
Moved Orchid to the lot...it had been SO long since Derin had passed, I was temporarily baffled by his grave occupying a spot in Generation 15's spot.
Also, I keep forgetting I need to regenerate Noelle's grave. Neville's is looking kinda lonely there. :(
Even Parvati's spending some time with the kids. Which is good, Parvati literally has nothing to do all day but grilled cheese related shenanigans otherwise.
The boys were potty-trained in record time...Raine took a little longer, because her bladder was off-sync.
Dude, don't be an attention whore! There are ISBI toddlers that would murder you for your spot in this family, if they could only figure out how!
It's a race between Quimby and Saul to see who gets the privilege of teaching the triplets EVERYTHING. Saul's got a bit of a head start, since Quimby was long chosen to replace Orchid at gardening duties once it was necessary.
I love to see the children being well taken, but don't you two have anything else to do today?
...forget I asked.
Jesus Christ, Quark, no, I won't share my wife! ...I don't care that you're willing to share yours!
Finally, the randoms aren't coming in any more.
I finally figured out that this was probably related to me letting Orchid wish to be more irresistable.
Saul, let Quimby do his own fathering!
Oh honey, it's great to hear you're expecting again. I know just the thing to make for dinner!
...oh.
Evangelina knows what to expect from her mother-in-law by now.
Maybe it'll be triplets again! Fastest 6-kid want solved ever?
I think two of them haven't learned a nursery rhyme yet, but otherwise...playtime free-for-all! Yayyyyy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Laurince lot has been acting a little weird, so I apologize for the shorter update with a little more spam than normal. Hopefully, I'll figure out whether I need to move them or not before the next update so it'll be a little more substantial.
Evangelina really did make all those faces as soon as Parvati wasn't looking. Girl is hilarious to watch.
I also finally updated the Family Tree, if you didn't catch the separate post and were curious!
