This is not only an ISBI, but a
pixel_trade adventure! On the boat with us right now are
selzi's Ulric and
simplicist's Violet Laroux.
Last time, Hephaestus was chosen as heir, much to the disappointment of hot-blooded women Ares fans everywhere. The magic crystal ball I chose Violet Laroux as Heph's intended, because she is the bestest alien ever. My self-sim got spied on a lot. Hephaestus's brothers managed to both go to class and sleep in beds, unlike their uncles. Everybody ate pudding, and Pan got into it with Beta Simpson.
Hestia was totally shocked that I left her skilling when I left the house last. I did stop the action, just so she's not pre-emptively screwed over in her idiocy. If this is cheating...at least I admitted it!
Hi Hephaestus! You can't tell me I made the wrong heir decision now, can you?
We are not greedy. We'll ask for 25%!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Aw, Ulric is filled with a feeling of crushing disappointment.
And crazy. Let's not forget crazy.
What's going on, Dr. Wacko? I must be seeing things, like several people in tuxedos walking towards me.
Zat iz no delusion. You're son is getting married today, remember?
...shit.
It's going to be me and a bunch of hot guys. How could this be more awesome?
This is your wedding, Violet!
...gotcha. The only way this could be more awesome would be if I wasn't promising myself to one person today!
Hephaestus picked an interesting way to introduce the bride to his grandparents.
Usually parents cry at their children's wedding for reasons other than being sacked.
Aaaand Violet is happy to be married, because Hephaestus is rich.
...the entire household is worth 90-something thousand. That's all it takes to be rich?
That's about how much cash each member of the household was worth. I think Violet was richer than they are!
Now, go and be a stone cold bitch to all those guys out there. You're mine, baby!
...what?
Violet has lived in this house for ten minutes! Oh, and IT'S HER WEDDING?!
I'm going to bite your hand off, bitch.
Just kidding! I was doing my impression of Scarlett!
Seriously, though. Best wedding dinner ever!
Why am I sitting farthest away from my WIFE at our WEDDING?
I cannot believe I agreed to this til death do we part thing.
CAPTAIN HERO...first perma-plat sim! Go Hestia!
Also, she brings home the first of the CREELMAN explosion. (Hi Nouvel)
Having a great wedding is the same as having an awesometastic dream date, right?
Not according to the game, Heph, not according to the game.
So...I guess since Scarlett is Violet's sister, that means she's not stealing our paper anymore. Except, look who's stealing it now! Poseidon...whose sister is living in this house.
Look, Ulric, not all of your children are grown. Or something.
First try jingle. Hephaestus's sperm are potent!
We have another underwear prancer, don't we?
Hi guys. Party still going on? I'm just going to read here.
Don't look at naked sister-in-law, don't look at naked sister-in-law...
This is the best wedding ever!
See, I can have attractions to girls that aren't Gil--aren't related to me.
Nope, Violet IS related to you, Gabriel.
DAMMIT.
Take a long hard look at this hot profile, bitches, because I'm going off to be immortal and NOT IN THE REST OF THIS UPDATE.
ARES! *sob*
Where are your clothes?
Am I going to be needing them where we're going?
No...but still...it's weird.
(Creelman sighting! Emily.)
Aaaand the happy newlywed couple returned to THIS. Then I had them have a date, because we've still got to get to 50 for Hephaestus.
I thought this was sweet. And it got Ulric out of crazy-red zone. Go Hestia.
Damn, you're fine!
BRB, have to leave flowers for last date.
Damn, "morning" sickness makes date meters take a hit!
I've heard of marriages becoming sexless, but this is ridiculous. What about your bed, guys?
IIRC, Violet's got like a million neat points. That'll be a help.
Yet another spouse who will never be able to hit perma-plat as an uncontrollable. This is irony at its finest.
With all the points Violet gets from getting laid, perma-plat may not be necessary, anyway.
Her job? Culinary.
Ah, not a sexless marriage, then. Just a stupid one.
What would anyone think, spying in your underpants, Hephaestus!
Granted, there's nobody living in that part of the hood yet, but still!
Ulric has still not recovered from losing his job.
Which apparently means he gets to be on the receiving end of many well-meaning ~looks of concern~.
Then Violet came home for work and it was time to be adorable!
I'm glad she seems happy about insta-spawning.
25 bouquets = halfway to LTW!
This lounging pose is perfect for a pregnant sim.
Why does he have to be in the way? I want to make pancakes!
Hephaestus is making pancakes.
I want BLUEBERRY pancakes!
Which I saw, after I had Hephaestus finish cooking up her pan's contents. Look, I'll be nice and have him store it as leftovers, okay?
Gotta have at least one FLYING AWAY HERO shot for Hestia.
Blueberry pancakes, bitch.
For god's sake, just eat the damn things.
GIGI CREELMAN! (I don't know what happened to all the other sims in the neighborhood. :P)
At first, I thought this was going to be an aborted attempt at in-law flirting leading to year of all out brawling. Let's just say I don't trust Ulric to not be fucking crazy.
Oh it's just a...VENTRILO-FART? Crap.
Apparently, Ulric doesn't know how to win friends and influence people.
He has a wife who loves him! I am jealous.
Of what?! So do you!
Oh. *SOBS*
I should have been heir!
Oh, shut up.
D: Violet is shocked by this development.
Guess what we're doing before the grandbaby comes! COUCHSEX.
Well, at least Ulric isn't crying.
Hephaestus stopped Dionysus on the street to congratulate him for graduating. I had to get him to invite his brother in.
Did the swings induce labor?
Living for danger, baby.
A boy with red hair and alien eyes. Castor.
Aaaand another boy (JESUS) with red hair and BROWN eyes. Pollux. So many boys!
And Hestia rocks the frozen look, like her mother Zoe did.
This date has been interrupted by Violet's exhaustion and Hephaestus's terror. Thanks a lot, Ruther!
Oh wait, we can get it to dream by having sex in the convertible. Awesome!
What's more awesome than convertiblesex? When convertiblesex riskily knocks Violet up her first time getting it on post-pregnancy. Oh no.
As Hestia gets acquainted with her grandsons, let's take a short break.
WHY DOES IT PISS YOU OFF WHEN I SPY ON YOU?
Hello, Pan.
I don't know why he's so angry. I gave him and his brothers a pretty interesting house.
What do you mean Monique is not for me? She's pretty cute.
Spares don't get married in this hood. We have to save
pixel_trade eligibles for heirs!
It's like two generations of fail in one!
I just said that for humor's sake. Ulric is still awesome with the autonomous diaper changes.
And the autonomous baby interactions in general.
Even when it makes him nuts.
Violet is not sure why she's been feeling so uncomfortable!
It certainly couldn't have been the synchronized spousal smustling!
Not again!
Oh shut up, Ulric. If Hestia hadn't have woke you up with the computer game, you would have peed yourself!
Seriously, for all his faults, he's good with the babies.
I know that bitch slept with my man before me. Bitch is going down.
I didn't even have anything to do with that!
Poor, puking Violet.
FYI, she's making blueberry pancakes.
You go, son, with the sleeping and drooling. Awesome!
Sex = Happy Violet.
NO ULRIC! I hired a repairman so you don't have to kill yourself to fix things.
Everything appears to be in working order...
...my ass!
Well, baby time is now over.
The lighting here is pretty interesting.
Now this is cute. I almost never catch these.
Awww, toddler Pollux...
...with more toddler-esque hair.
Toddler Castor...
...again, with more appropriate hair. And a great :D face!
Yep, we're going to have toddlers and at least one baby at the same time! Better get your attention in, now, twins.
Speaking of attention, I think Hephaestus is a little ticked with his son.
STOP MAKING A MESS. STOP IT.
WEEEEEEE
Not that Castor isn't an equal little shit, he just happened to be playing with blocks that instant.
At this point, I thought it would be hilarious to have even MOAR alien babies in the family, but it didn't work out. :(
You just got off the pot, there's a full bottle in front of you, what on earth do you have to be emo about, kid?
Your brother is the one getting ignored all over in favor of MAKE OUT TIMES.
HEWWO, I STINK!
Did you hear something, Ulric?
Of course not, dear.
SMEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWY!
Violet pops...
...and passes out.
And Castor decides to suck on a rancid bottle.
Violet decides grilled cheese makes a better pillow than meal.
Maybe it's time you went to bed.
A little late for that, Hephaestus.
Dammit, Violet! You are upping all sorts of counts today.
At least someone in this house is happy and successful.
All right, who put a toddler in a crib when we have blankets?!
Ulric...I should have known!
Did you have a good sleep, Pollux?
Twying to kiww you wif my mind...
I peed myself. :(
Don't feel too bad, Violet, I hear that incontinence is not unheard of during or even AFTER pregnancy. It's perfectly normal.
Perfectly sucktastic.
Well, I'm not arguing with that.
I am hungry. :(
...I am also in labor. :(
Violet has plumb gone emo!
Also, I told myself here that if it wasn't a girl, I was reloading!
No matter how hilarious the number of babies was.
It was one girl, anyway, first try!
She has red hair, alien eyes, and her name is Aphrodite.
And Pollux is very, very excited about this.
Everyone looks so...HAPPY. It's kinda creepy, really.

I have a feeling, between all the woohoo they'll be doing to get Heph's LTW and the risky woohoo, that I might be having an issue keeping the population down in Gen 4. We'll see. I'd like to have at least one more!
Hensons next.
