Randolph Legacy, Generation 5.7!

Jan 04, 2010 02:54

Still pixel_trade! Current spouse is still Emmett Wilder (imaginepageant), though the kids don't see much of their insane father at the dorm.

Small warning: MASSIVE spouse search spam. Which should explain the tags in pixel_trade.





Last time, Tyche continued to show her winning personality, and the triplets gained the advantage that being the youngest in a large family affords. More attention from their parents and actual hot meals, much to Deimos's ire. (Though he had no qualms about staying home from Uni as much as possible to take advantage of them himself.) The triplets became teens, Harmonia a Family sim, Phobos a Knowledge sim, and Adrestia became the a Pleasure sim, the oddball of her siblings (all Family and Knowledge otherwise). Tyche became the only sim EVER to receive a dance scholarship in my game, as she headed off to Uni. Aphrodite aged up to elder, allowing her to throw a golden anniversary party, which makes her the third perma-plat sim in the legacy. Phobos spurned the advances of Jillian Knight, then the triplets joined their four other siblings in Uni.

And I left you all with an heir poll...one with actual suspense compared to last generation. (I also left you with a plea for the XD eyes...)

DRUMROLL



And BAM--this is where I stood right before I went to load up the game. Tyche did gain two more votes after I took this screencap, but the poor dear was never quite in the running.



I can't honestly remember ever letting this many offspring into a main uni residence in any of my legacies. Placeholders don't count as "real" sims, I just make sure they don't completely fail out or die. I don't mind this, though. I can't control most of them--but it can be slow because I want to pay attention to them.



College!

Anteros is happy to be out of stasis. I have Deimos lock his door. He's not going to lose his bed to stupid siblings or the cow.

Since the original floor plan would have left me with one spare room for a dormie, I put a couple of top bunks in the rooms downstairs, left the third floor for dormies, and added a couple more doors for good measure. I want more action than all the Randolphs in here.



We finally get a peek at Deimos's...aw, hell. I said to myself, I am NOT doing another Captain Hero LTW. I am so sick of Captain Hero. I rerolled. And, by my code of honor, I will abide by the new...



You'll have six, no more, and all the spares are marrying pixel_trade ineligible NPCs! After college! You hypocritical motherfucker.



Though it's obvious how barely Deimos was fed in his childhood, given he has no active points and isn't fat like the triplets are now. I expected him to be meaner than that, though.



I don't usually care too much about turn-ons, but I want to show you all up front just how hard this spouse hunt thing will be. His turn-ons are impossible. And that turn-off hurts, considering that I loaded up on every hair color that wasn't red the last time I downloaded sims, and blonde was in abundance.



With that said, after our first random dormie was Evan Laroux, I selected the rest to be female. Unfortunately, most of the YAs in my game came from the same people as former spouses, and I want to avoid doublers.



Felicity, perennial dormmate, is selzi's.



After this, I took NPCs (that blonde streaker must have it going on if he's not turned off) and playables (I am not fucking eligible for pixel_trade challenge) off the list.



Mia Wilder didn't end up moving in, being distracted by the karaoke machine. Eros begins to look at her, and I wonder if I set family ties when I put Wilders into my game. For those unfamiliar, Mia is technically this entire generation's GRANDMOTHER.



Hedwig Newton, being the only one in the Magic Crystal Ball that wasn't ineligible, from an already-used creator, or an alien (sorry Judy Rose), is introduced to Deimos. Don't get me wrong, Hedwig? ADORABLE. I just like to have choices. Especially after I unilaterally picked Violet for Hephaestus and Aphrodite unilaterally picked Emmett for herself.



I bet you'd never guess I'm PART ALIEN.

Great first impression.



Oh, for fuck's sake. I was totally joking when I added the Randolphs to the simcest poll.



Danica Dallas is GRINNING because I'm not going to have any potentials move into the dorm this time, am I?



Now stop lusting after your grandmother. I know your name is Eros, but that was ridiculous.



What the hell is wrong with you?

I...just thought you looked good for your age.

That's better, Eros.



Why does he get to go on a date? Why does he get to meet someone new? GRRRR.

Harmonia, not living up to her name.



How the hell did you manage to make Mia cry? (Seriously, I don't know, I came back and just caught this.)



Undine, also one of selzi's.



Suddenly, I'm much more aware of just how Tyche managed to get a scholarship in dance.



FINALLY.

The last dormie is Liza Amore, senzastelle's, and not by someone who's already had a spouse. Well, she did date Hephaestus, and autonomously bang him in the photobooth on this very lot, but I had nothing to do with the latter.



I finally get away from my loonybin of a father, who has been known to wear a lampshade as a hat, and I am in a building with a furry the first day I get here?!

I swear, Harmonia grew up good when she became a YA. O_o



I don't know if it bodes well when the guy is making Zoolander poses in the photobooth next to you.



You two disgust me.

Not everyone can dance to your exacting standards, Tyche.



How can you rage on Adrestia? She hasn't even been seen since picture 2!

Neither has Anteros...it's not fair!



We were the oldest. We stuck together through all the hard times, best friends, and now he's fraternizing with the enemy!

...some things you just need to let go, Eros.



I'm glad I'll never have to deal with that much pop-up spam again. O_O



I do introduce Deimos to Janie Peet (dothesmustle), but I'm really loathe to introduce alien genes right back into the legacy after I've bred them out. Though the eyes are awesome.



If I do go with another alien, I'd be tempted by Beta Simpson (kingmike1224) because she randomized as a grilled cheese sim. There wasn't any chemistry, though. :/



Neither Deimos nor Mae West (iliketoplaygod) are impressed with the other. Why yes, I started introducing him to all the non-blonde/non-redheads in the neighborhood.



Are you really allowed to be out this late? You look like a teenager.

Noooo, Leia Knight steals the paper all the time because she's a terribly mean sim apparently...



...utterly enchanted by the fact that someone accused her of looking 15.

Which she does, but still.



Mackenzie Rowan (simsforaranya) makes what seems like the millionth eligible female to have negative chemistry with Deimos. It's obviously the knowledge that everyone in the family goes bonkers coupled with the fact that he obviously looks up the Arthur Weasley as a paternal role model.



Emily Creelman gives me a little hope that I may have options. They have no chemistry. Granted, this makes it likely that she is firmly a lesbian, but Deimos should be able to make her bi, right?



Gigi Creelman (steezie_k) actually seems receptive to him. That only took way too damn long.



Daaaaamn, you related to Hephaestus Randolph? Boy was fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Surely, you can't help but see some sort of resemblance? Hint ----> XD



Okay, Rutabega Flora (shoefleesims), I don't think we want to literally recreate the Weasleys. Sorry. (Not that she was interested.)



Well, that ends the night. Why did Mom have to show up?

Her mother sense was tingling?



What seems out of place in this picture, Aph?



Heeeeyyyy, so do you like to go out and grill things, Deimos? Awesome.

What the hell are you doing here?

Well, my nights are pretty free now that I don't have any kids at home. I get bored. And lonely.

What about Dad?

We both know he's not fun in his...current condition.



While Gen 2 was the worst for avoiding beds, since then, there's always been one that refused to use a bed. I just would never have guessed that it would be Tyche.



What is with kids these days? Staying up all night, partying...

The truth is so much sadder.



Well, I hope that works out for you.



...my EYES.



I don't think it's nice to run around half-naked, flaunting your youth in front of the cafeteria lady. Especially when she's obviously catatonic after having seen Phobos in those playboy briefs.



He poked me in my boob.

EVERY GENERATION.

A SPARE IN THE FLAME MANTIES.

I should stop having a full poll, I should check their underwear first and eliminate the one whose ass is on fire.



I always took Harmonia for being a bit on the shy side. ...this is disconcerting.



Emily doesn't like an even skintone and neutralized lip color.

Men shouldn't wear make-up!



Fine, shine on, Deimos, shine on.



Do not ever come on to me, you foul creature!

What gives? The relationship score ain't too bad and you are ON A DATE.



Yes, Tyche, we are all utterly proud of your ability to make spaghetti without burning it or setting anything on fire.



Well, finally. A spare gets in on the autonomous loving. Though it's making me think that Liza just likes to throw herself at Randolph men at this point.



Deimos rolled a want to influence someone to write his term paper. Since Family sims rarely roll academic wants, I jump at the chance.



She heads straight to the pinball machine. What.



Emily would like Deimos better if he were in his underwear. He's more than a piece of meat, you know!



Enjoying the view, Liza?

I thought you were trying to impress me, Deimos!

I think it's pretty obvious that that is an impossible feat.



I finally determined that Undine didn't write the term paper because the chair at the desk was glitched. I let Deimos influence Evan to write that paper.



Let's see if Gigi is any more receptive to Deimos.



DAMN, Tyche. You go, girl!



Hey, Deimos, are you gonna dance with me?

Just one sec, I'm famished. Staying on the Dean's list is tiring.

Yeah, tiring for EVAN.



Thank goodness we might have TWO actual potential spouses to choose from. Who knew Deimos was that disgusting?



They're not really in crush yet, but he successfully interacted romantically with her. It's amazing after all I just went through.



Is it horrible that I would LOVE it if Anteros got abducted? He stayed there all night, gained like three or four logic points, was in the yellow needs wise...nothing. Aw.



This actually doesn't surprise me. I'd hazard a guess that the triplets, with slightly shorter teenhoods, were missing a necessary skillpoint. And of course, Eros and Tyche practically have A's. Good for ISBI.



They're overachievers in more than one aspect, obviously.



How will this idiot ever make friends if she walks around with such a stench?

I don't know, Adrestia, you've managed to make friends with such a winning personality. You should give pointers. Granted, Danica's personality is WORSE...



Wanna bet that Deimos's future kids who need to be married off couldn't find their way into a romantic relationship autonomously if it bit them in the ass?



Excuse me. I NEED TO PEE.



I was just calling you one of the smart ones, I hope you know.



Congratulations for actually getting laid with such personal hygeine problems.

Maybe that's the source of them.

I think it's the fact that you can't find the fucking bathroom, Eros.



Passive aggressively congratulate me, will you, bitch? With your finger guns!



Harmonia?

IT'S HAILING



Adrestia didn't decide to sleep on a park bench, Phobos. That is all you.



Hedwig and Deimos do have mad chemistry. I probably shouldn't fight it, but I just want to play options. There really haven't been any since Hestia had three simultaneous boyfriends in college.



Deimos lost his virginity in a classic purple Dodge. It matches the woohoo hearts! XD



Well, okay, I guess Deimos has decided, right?



Oh dear.

I think he actually agrees with me on the options thing. And he's Family. This NEVER happens. *unlocks engagement want*



I find out Hedwig likes accessories and, being as Deimos is not actually wearing any...



She just says she finds him hot. She found him hot before...I need to wait for a bolt refresh, I was wondering if that would make it three bolts.

Adrestia. I have to be honest with you. Your hair is ridiculous. It's like you're wearing a floppy purple hat. Made of hair.

Poor Harmonia always seems like a loner these days.



My siblings are all finding love and/or success in their academics.

Technically you have three siblings that are accomplishing both of those things and three that are fucking off.

Will I ever have a family of my own?

Sure.

...nieces and nephews count as family, right?



You can't say Tyche isn't an overachiever in every capacity.



Ooooh that SCOWL. Deimos just tricked Danica into doing his term paper.



It's too early to tie myself down. I want to see the world, you know?

That sounds so exciting!

That sounds like such a lie. You just want to explore Gigi's pants.



Eros! You've been having too much sex!



Phobos doesn't have much excuse, aside from the fact he's been spending his nights on a park bench. Which is a pretty good excuse, in the end.



Why are there red numbers floating above my head?

Oh good, I get to update more than one stat this update!



Congratulations on your awesome grades, Tyche!

NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY COMPASSION.



Aw, Deimos got to explore the world. In Gigi's pants.



If that bitch wasn't fucking one of them, SHE'D be the one writing term papers!

Danica, this shot was so not about you.



Deimos looks downright determined.



Eros, given the fact that I had to forcibly keep you away from grandma around picture five or so...this is a little disturbing.



Way to go, bro!

Yeah, that's awesome.

...I feel...sore.



My brothers are being disgusting voyeurs. Near incestuous.

You are sharing a bench outside. With your brother. Nearly naked.



No, I will not give you details on what I did in that booth with your brother.



So I heard you lost your virginity to my brother in a photobooth.

I don't want to talk about this with any of you sickos.



Oh come on, there's no shame in it. I lost it there. So did Eros.



Let me make this clear. I am not discussing any aspect of your brother's sex life with you.



Phobos. Seeing as you came last, it's not like your mom hurt your life any with her want for a large family. She just made you exist.



Eros has discovered that Undine just sorta sits around on the third floor whenever Deimos comes up to paint. (He's had to paint a lot. He had like no creativity points, and we need an heir portrait.)

Eros must be forgetting that the girl he's already hooking up with lives next door to Undine.



I know most people go kinda wild in college, but that doesn't mean that you should cross the boundaries of society.

What do you mean?

Universal taboos exist for a reason. Incest is patently unhealthy!

I don't know if Gigi is disgusted or now sees rescuing Deimos from his siblings as a ~cause~.



Hells yeah, Phobos. Much better than you did when Jillian came on to you.



Heir portrait~



Just to be clear, given that one of the dorm rooms assigned to the spares still has a double bed, there are seven bed slots for six slots. This is never necessary.



Was talking to inanimate objects the last straw, then, Gigi?

I am afraid that Generation 5 may get one more update. We're only about halfway through Uni, and it's just hard to cover a lot of time in an update with so many sims. Not that it's a huge deal, but I get a little anxious when generations have more than five updates. Especially since Deimos is nearly guaranteeing Gen 6 to be almost as long.

Hedwig has more natural chemistry with Deimos and is adorable, but I think Gigi's got a bit more personality when it comes to him and the family. Which could be good. We'll see if Deimos falls in love with Gigi...

I made a new tattoo box the other day, if anyone is interested!

I really should do a Moore update next, but I actually played the Laurinces this weekend, so I will probably do one for them before moving back to the Moores.
