When
pixel_trade + ISBI collide! Founder Ruther is by
dragancaor and the current spouse, Zoe Dork, is by
katu.
I generally don't give a warning for content in any of my updates, because I figure everyone knows I curse, and I always have the censor blur on, but you see, Zoe has a habit of running around in just a pair of panties. So Warning, BOOBIES EVERYWHERE.
Or maybe that's a selling point. READ MY ISBI, IT HAS BOOBIES EVERYWHERE.
Last time, Ruther Randolph, a popularity sim, moved into a house in my neighborhood full of other people's sims. He hit it off with a few redheads, but the one we both agreed was the best for him was Zoe Dork. She moved in, and then the chaos began! ...or not. Zoe is pretty self-sufficient, even when pregnant, and has gotten several promotions by herself. So far, they've had one child, a daughter named Hera, who is now a well-adjusted child.
I swear, I'm only controlling Ruther!
Hera already seems to be taking after her mother. In fact, I don't think children can spontaneously get leftovers, so she's just using the one avenue open to her.
She's not perfect, though. For one thing, she's an attention whore.
Dad, you're in my way, I barely have room to do a cartwheel in the kitchen as it is.
Ruther congratulates her for growing up well and making my last update more boring.
Bye, mommy!
Where the hell are you going?
It's my first day of school.
Oh. Have fun, learn lots.
I forgot to mention in the summary that Zoe was pregnant again. She's in her third trimester, not that you'd know it by her actions.
I really want to know why this bitch keeps stealing her daughter's bed, though.
Bye, I hope we can do that again soon.
...I'll be here tomorrow at 8am again.
Wait, I have to go to school every day?
Not Saturday or Sunday.
I bet Ruther's wondering how she keeps her panties up with her belly that big.
I added more sims to the hood, so now I get to have the pleasure of
simplicist's Scarlett Laroux stealing my shit.
No, Ruther can't sex you up right now. The only way Hera will ever get her homework done is if he makes her do it.
Though she apparently really, really wanted to do it. Nerd.
Ooh, walkbys are fun in this neighborhood. Who do we have here?
sukkamielli's Monique Spicoli! She's another one that got to randomly be made a teen. I have Ruther greet her, maybe Hera can make a friend.
...or not.
If I get the feeling that Zoe is tired, at least I can have Ruther lure her to bed with sex.
ZOMG SEX INDUCED LABOR
Oh you bet I hit random again, bitches.
It was a single birth, a son named Zeus. With skin near his mother's (though with an S3 dad, all these kids will be pretty dark-skinned), his father's hair, and his mother's eyes.
Okay, sleep tight!
You did so well when Hera was born, what is this?
Don't worry, I made Ruther put the baby to bed before I let them ACR. But seriously, what is Zoe thinking?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, WOMAN? Thankfully, the stats will be against us since you have a newborn.
...and Ruther rolls this want after they get out of bed. Seriously, there is more to life than sex.
Every morning, Hera wakes up and does this while her father cooks breakfast.
Then the she gets to eat burnt muffin while everyone else eats a decent breakfast.
When I say "attention," you say "whore!"
ATTENTION! WHORE!
ATTENTION! WHORE!
Then Zoe leaves her husband at home with the kids (it's Saturday) and goes to work.
This scene x10 and you have Hera's morning. The last couple of times, she glanced at her father, who was on the phone kindling a BEST FRIENDSHIP.
She never stops asking to be read to after this. I have created a monster.
Now, my imagining of Hera's inner monologue:
All right, now I'm going to do a fucking cartwheel right here. Damn, if a cartwheel isn't the shit, I don't know what is!
That was a fucking awesome cartwheel, which makes yours truly awesome by association!
Seriously, though, Ruther, stop encouraging this behavior. Can't I get an option to "Encourage...stop being an annoying whore"?
Zoe, I don't know if you realize this, but we're playing ISBI. Could you maybe, I don't know, dumb it up a bit?
How about no?
I gave into curiosity and checked her LTW. Never fear, it ain't happening with a noncontrollable, so it's like I didn't check it after all!
MOMMY I LOVE YOU!
Aw...
Could one of you OCD freaks maybe pick up the garbage can (that Scarlett Laroux probably knocked over)? Please?
...damn.
They got too busy playing catch, and then
simfinite's Noah Lutzen walked by. If Ruther wasn't sleeping right now, I'd have him greet Noah so Hera can get to know him.
...I'm getting the feeling that somehow I'm controlling the other sims in this house with my mind.
Zoe, I don't think that's what the baby wants.
Sleep tight!
Seriously, what's with you and putting the babies in front of the refrigerator?
At least Ruther was getting up around that time, anyway. But geez.
That night, Hera managed to sleep in her own bed. And visions of Noah Lutzen danced in her head.
Okay, so I didn't cap Ruther going in to work in the evening because I figured it was a non-event. However, another carpool showed up at 10pm. Since I hadn't planned on Zoe getting a promotion, I forgot to take note of her new schedule!
And of course the bitch wakes up to go to work this time.
So I use her one adult command to call in sick to work. That was a close one. I'm pretty sure the configuration of my game would've allowed her to leave the house, and then the kids would have been gone. (Hacks don't necessarily make your game easier.)
Great, so now you want to set the house on fire?
You know, I don't think Zoe has ever made a single meal.
Or burned anything.
Well, you couldn't burn the salad!
What do you want? I can cuddle you more.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH (DIAPER)
Oh I am such a bad mother, my baby won't stop crying! :(
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL (CHANGE)
At least their shifts are back to opposite times of day.
I don't know what's wrong with him! He won't stop crying.
Daddy will handle it.
You think we can trade Zeusy in for one that doesn't cry and poop?
They all cry and poop, Hera.
I didn't!
Oh, believe me, lots of crying. Lots of poop.
For god's sake, Zoe, if you're not going to do anything, don't even bother picking the poor thing up!
Don't worry, Zeus, your dad will be back in only...two and a half hours.
Mommy, aren't you so glad that I'm not noisy like that?
...well, yeah.
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (DIAPER)
Okay, so now I'm going to cement my awesomeness AND being your favorite!
WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL (I DON'T NEED A NEW ONE JUST TAKE THE OLD ONE OFF)
I know what's wrong. You're tired, aren't you?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Finally.
At least toddlers can ASK to be changed.
Can you see? He has his dad's ears.
Look at the cute little poop machine!
You see this awesome toy? See see see, don't touch!
Buh...waaaahhhh
HA, you can't have it because it's only for awesome people like me!
I should've known what I would get if I named a sim Hera.
Zeus ain't stupid, he headed straight for the stuff in Hera's bedroom after that.
Oh no, what if they grow up to hate each other?
They're kids, it's just teasing.
I'm trying to stay on top of the potty thing, but without smart milk and without seeing the toddler's motives, it's kinda hard to get them trained.
Oh wow, Zoe actually recognized that her child was smelly for once.
You know, you can do more than have sex with your husband in that double bed. You can SLEEP THERE.
I'm torn. On one hand, I keep thinking that the shit is going to hit the fan, so I want to try to make them all as happy as possible.
But maybe if I keep this up, the shit never WILL hit the fan. D:
So do you believe me about the cooking eggs thing now?
Maybe.
Anything is foreplay to these two.
How come it's not an A+ yet? I am awesome!
And here's where I went "oh shit" and reloaded the game to kill Homework Sometimes. She only got the one day off.
Every time I make them have sex, they ACR on me like 20 minutes later.
This was the day that Hera stopped randomly using her parents' bathroom.
If I were Zoe, I wouldn't have a problem with being pregnant, either.
Hello! My mom is doing the dishes and my dad is working out and there's no one to watch me BE AWESOME!
...good.
This is the first autonomous skilling Hera has done since her toddler years.
Actually, here's the extent of my problem with ISBI. The controllable is in bed. Everyone else? Pretty much doing what I would've directed them to do if I could.
Zoe goes off to work pregnant, not like that's ever a cause for concern. For her.
At first, I thought he was coughing, and I was simultaneously going (DOES HE HAVE FLU? YAY! WAIT, HOW WOULD HE GET FLU?) and then I realized that I just caught the end of the "GET FIT" animation.
D:
What the fuck is wrong with my ISBI?
Oh. Well, little Zeus here shows promise. His father dropped him off a bottle earlier, which he ignored. Only to try and suck on it now.
(And don't give me any of that he wasn't hungry excuses. I got the warning popup that he was SKIN AND BONES.)
Oh god. FAST and BURGE. Is Zeus ana-mia?
FWESH BABA MOMMY!
Yeah, false alarm. She didn't pee on anything, though Zeus had a LOOK OF FEAR.
WIN BLAH BLAH BLAH WIN
OH MY GOD
Change, mommy?
Oh is your diaper full?
BUT then Zoe's carpool pulled up, so she didn't change Zeus's diaper after all. All is right with the world.
Well, except the fact that Zoe's going to work for the second time in her first trimester and is still feeling fiiiine. What's up with that?
Why isn't he watching me closely? I'm about to be awesome.
ENCOURAGE...STOP BEING A FUCKING ATTENTION WHORE, DAMMIT
It's not another promotion, but Zoe's apparently made enough money to keep herself out of aspiration failure awhile longer.
Though she won't be going to work for awhile longer, either. MWA HA HA
Hera disappoints me by initiating positive interaction with her brother.
WHERE'S MAI DRAMAZ?
She doesn't even care that he steals her toys.
Uh, Dad, what is Mom doing?
Sweetheart, when Mommies are expecting babies, their bodies go through big changes fast. Your brain is a part of your body, too, did you know that?
...no duh.
Well, Mommy's brain is really confused right now.
She played in that puddle straight through to her last trimester!
AND ZEUS WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO USE A TOILET.
He doesn't look much like Dad.
I don't know, I think he got Ruther's nose.
So, Zoe, you think that you can keep Hera from her bed...
...I've got you beat! I put bunkbeds in the other bedroom. Hera's got her own bed again now!
It's so exciting being a big kid and going to my first day of school!
Oh god, he makes the funniest faces. It started when he was a toddler, but it's gotten better now that his face is bigger and more visable. :D
Hera was too busy listening to her mother's ~storybook~ about ~toilets~ to go to school. Ruther couldn't lure either one of them away. I waste Hera's command on going to school, and now I can't age her up tonight with a cake. It'll have to wait until tomorrow so she can age naturally.
See? I didn't want to go to school with my brother! That was NOT fun!
I don't know, Zeus looked like he enjoyed it.
Mom, that guy just walked right in and started using our chess set.
He's a cousin of mine. He's a little...odd.
Zoe had the same barging in habit before she lived there. And it's too bad I had to zoom out so far on the shot, Zeus's face was great. :/
LABOR TIME. I SO HIT RANDOM AGAIN ON TRIPS AND QUADS.
One, a-ha-ha
Two, a-ha-ha
Three, a-ha-ha
Three babies.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
If this doesn't make the house crazy, I have no idea what will!
The baby with the darkest skin, currently in Zoe's arms, is the only girl, Hestia. She's got Ruther's hair and Zoe's eyes.
I'm pretty sure the top baby is Poseidon. I know that he has brown hair and brown eyes (finally, Ruther's eye color shows up!), even if I mixed the name up. The third baby is named Hades. With the same brown hair/violet eye combo as nearly all the other kids. Unless I mixed up Poseidon and Hades.
The kids are too young to understand the true horror of what just happened. Einstein, however, isn't.
I am so out of here.
Well, it's an improvement. None of the babies are blocking the refrigerator for once.
WHAT THE HELL
YOU ONLY WANT TO SLEEP IN THE BED THAT BELONGS TO HERA
WHY, BITCH, WHY
Why are babies so loud, anyway?
Let's see...babies who are born at the same time...
...poop at the same time. Yeah, Ruther is definitely taking all of his parental leave with this birth.
Zoe has never changed a diaper. She will never change a diaper. I just want to know where this mental block of hers comes from.
Sleep tight.
Aw, look, she remembered where babies go!
I swear, if I bought it for Hera and Zoe can use it, she appropriates it for herself. I even have the hack that stops swing obsession.
Well, we're getting behind in our schoolwork.
Just a little bit.
I HAVE to find a way to get Ruther helping Zeus, but Hera's grades aren't going to be a priority after this.
I know I left the food in the oven a little too long, but it's so easy to get distracted with all the babies in the house.
EWWW.
So, 10pm rolls around and Hera STILL hasn't aged, so I give her a helpful push. She rolls knowledge, and I didn't pay attention to her turn-on/offs.
I had been keeping this hair, even though I never use it, because it's cute, and I think it kinda "goes" with the hair texture I've been giving Hera. She's pretty adorable.
I hope he's congratulating her for being born, because I don't want her getting knocked up at 14.
Zoe comes home from work, but is distracted coming back in from the car.
The kids haven't touched the swingset yet. Not once.
Aw, you must be tired. Sleep tight!
Goddammit, Hera!
And we'll leave off here, with Zeus frantically scribbling during a moment where the triplets have full bellies and empty diapers.
Why can't I make my babies stop crying? WHY?
Come on, Hera, you could hold one of them!
NO WAY.
I am awesome!

- So, I am still unsure about the kosherness of toddler blankets. On one hand, they can get in and out by themselves. On the other hand, you can't wake them up while they are in it, and you can't get food out for them while they are in it. So while I'm saving on passout stats, I got about five warnings about Zeus starving, and once I was getting to the point of panic because he slept for hours, and I couldn't get him awake to eat. Thoughts?
- IF TRIPLETS DON'T CRAZY THIS SHIT UP, WHAT WILL?
- I think I'll do a Laurince update next. But people were definitely right about it playing faster when you can only manage one sim. Sometimes I just 3x my way through times when Ruther is sleeping or at work.
