Magicakes Round Robin Legacy, Generation 3.3!

May 12, 2011 03:44

Heir Naaru and siblings are by brilliantcat, and spouse, Demetri, is by javabean_dreams.

Generation 1, bondchick_nett:
1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7 | 1.8

Generation 2, brilliantcat:
2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 2.5 | 2.6

Generation 3, ME!:
3.1 | 3.2





Last time, Naaru killed the fifth (and final) NPC required for her Olive challenge, the pizza girl. The quads became toddlers, and all of them inherited their father's elf ears. The next weekly challenge was rolled, and we got the Angelina challenge: to adopt three toddlers in succession. So, I bit the bullet, put even more mortgage shrubs on the lot, and started phoning social services.

Toddler #1 was a boy, Checo Magicakes. The entire upstairs of the Magicakes' house was transformed into what can only really be called a meganursery. Toddler #2 arrived, a girl, Vesna. Luckily, the time period spent with six toddlers was very brief, as the quads became children fairly shortly afterwards. The kids managed to become quite OCD despite having slobs for parents. Toddler #3 arrived, another boy, Spencer. Unsurprisingly, birthdays happened in succession with Checo becoming a child, then Vesna. Right before Spencer's birthday, the private school headmaster was called to get them all into the (fun-preserving) private school. Despite the headmaster hating both Naaru and Demetri, they got in!

And that, as they say, is that!



We open up our update with Demetri scalding the shit out of his wife by flushing while she's in the shower.



WHAT. THE. HELL.

Does that mean you're done in the shower, honey?

If I were his wife, I'd flush the toilet so hard after he got in...



It's the weekend, so the kids are all just chilling. Since this isn't an ISBI, they're all caught up on homework easily.



Here's a good head-on shot of Checo, since I accidentally saved over the one I intended for last update.



While I'm surprised he thought you'd be in the mood after what he did during your shower, you're already in bed and mostly undressed, why act shocked now?!



Spencer may get on my nerves just a taaaaaaad.



Shiva? Fucking obsessed with videogames. I'd blame it on myself and the naming theme, if it had affected any of her siblings similarly.



Speaking of videogames, it's Scyther Scallywag! (sea_serpent)



Carbuncle is going around talking smack about Doomtrain to Vesna, despite them all being a little young/friendly to have much smack to speak of.



Aaaand Ifrit is all nice and big-brothery and sits down to a nice (non-splashy!) activity with Spencer.

(Can you tell I'm trying to help everyone tell all the kids apart? Usually they're spaced out better when they're so numerous!)



So chess. It's like a puzzle!

A complicated puzzle, Dad.



Vesna, what do you mean you don't care if you make any friends at school?

Well, there's so many of us here, there's always somebody for me to play with!

Naaru looks so FLABBERGASTED.



Apparently, Shiva is ~above~ eating grilled cheese sandwiches.



And Vesna is ~above~ hugging her sister. Let me tell you, you soon may be in need of meeting new people if this is how you treat the ones you already know!



It could be worse. At least I let your grave be sheltered from lightning strikes!

Another week, time for another challenge. Readers of the Borks should find this one a little familiar: The Internet Scam Challenge. Your household loses all of their money. All their money. Use the familyfunds cheat..



This bit should also be familiar. Because...sure, they've technically got $253 in cash.



But, due to mortgage bushes, it's more like they've gone from being -36,747 in the hole to an even -37,000. Big. Fucking. Deal.



I think you should make friends your own age. You're too little to hang out with us, anyway, Vesna.

BURN.



And with that, Vesna and Spencer join their five other siblings for their first day of school.

Also, even though there's nine sims on lot, weekdays are blissful. Naaru and Demetri work weekdays, so there is a lot of 3x speed. Yay!



Shuddap. She got on the bus like two minutes after Demetri got in the carpool.



Ooooh, it's raemia's June Almassy. Though her eyes look so much smaller with the ones in my game, for some reason. She's still adorable!



And a run-by by Nouvel Creelman (steezie_k). There is literally nothing for me to do but watch townies zip-by for about eight sim hours a day. It's kinda fun.



Somehow I didn't think that videogame princess would have the necessary strength to be brute forcing on her classmates. This little pale, wan blonde girl is now a linebacker at age 11. Whoop whoop!



This must be a great day for Naaru. Not only did she get a raise, all of her children are AWESOME.



Demetri brings home his bestest friend (and elder Randolph spouse), Nathaniel, by jenji_sims.



Hey Doomtrain, how was school today?

Great, Dad!

Great!

That was surprisingly chipper.



It's homework party time for the youngsters, who need to be taught how to study. Don't worry, Doomtrain, Spencer will be forced off the computer once Naaru's done with Vesna.



Oh no, have you all shoved out Shiva?



Why aren't you on the Playstation, Sheev?

Oh, well coach tried to tell me that there's more to life than playing games. But...that's a tad hypocritical, don't you think?

Also, I'm still disturbed that SHIVA IS ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM.



...I don't get it, you have one of these at home.

You see, right now, everyone in the household is asleep. Normally, this incites guests to leave. Of course, since it's like Nathaniel practically lives with Demetri and vice versa...



...here he is, finally leaving, at 4:30 in the morning. I hope your wife smacks you.



Now, I'm thinking with portals!

...let me explain, their lot is a bit cul-de-sac-y where I placed it. I felt it was a little less complex than a corner lot, so I wanted to take baby steps into modifying the portals. I added some pedestrian portals to the other side of the street. And that is why imaginepageant's Felice Wilder is sneaking across the opposite sidewalk.

Well, it explains why she's there. It doesn't actually explain why she's sneaking, but I had nothing to do with that.



I'm sure the game didn't do this on purpose, but it appears that Doomtrain just got a monetary award for being the only one in his family not to get an A+.



Guys, if you're that annoyed that Ullr Bork came home with you, just don't invite him next time.

...oh, who am I kidding, it's entirely possible that one of the OTHER FOUR KIDS did.



Apparently nothing eventful happened after that, so here's a nice shot of Demetri in his manties admiring his own culinary expertise.



Let me tell you, I don't ever get too into sims' food, except here. This always makes me want Eggs Benedict!



It is pretty tasty.

At least they're appreciative. Some of the ISBI kids just whine and moan about meals.



If I knew more about the game coding (or any coding at all that wasn't 10 PRINT "HELLO" or HTML), I'd totally make it so that simplicist's Gabriel Laroux never showed up without his twincesty partner Gillian in tow.



She might reach her LTW at this rate, I'll be so proud! Not as proud as if they actually pay off all their debt, but...seven fucking kids, they've got extenuating circumstances besides paying off their house.



Though I think this day alone allowed them to pay down 3 grand.



This day is very awesome for other reasons. QUADRUPLET BIRTHDAY!



And I managed to have them do it all simultaneously. And they all get cake. It's only fair.



They grew all up well, mostly due to their nerdy tendencies and good grades.



Speaking of nerdy tendencies...this is on the sedate side for a Popularity sim.



Knowledge sim. Wants to be a gamer.



You too? I totally would've pegged something like this on Shiva.



Speaking of which...perhaps Shiva just doesn't like goals harshing her gaming buzz?



Carbuncle is a lesbian, and the rest of them are straight.

Brace yourself for the makeovers!



Carbuncle is soooooooo twee!



Ifrit is surprisingly chill. (Rockin' his Cerberus tee.)



Shiva needed a look that was both namesake and aspirationally appropriate. She's also gorg, not gonna lie.



THE HAPPY PARENTS CELEBRATE



And, finally, Doomtrain. One pesky thing in his disfavor? I think his face may be entirely Naaru's, but I totally need to get everybody in Bodyshop and figure out which eyeshape came from which parent before I totally decide on that.



Onto the spam!



Doomtrain awkwardancing.



Shiva's doing...you guessed it!



Big surprise...



You know, Carbuncle is just too cute for me not to be going all WEEEE over her. I can't help it! And then something amazing happened...



Checo! You need to dance. Feel the power of the rhythm.

No thanks, Carbie.



You don't understand. Just dance. Gonna be okay.



SPIN THAT RECORD BABY!

...Carbie, you're scaring me.



Woo!

Dancing: SERIOUS BUSINESS.



But I don't WANNA GET UP BEFORE THE SUN DOES!

Jesus, Carbie, sleep in for all I care, just be quiet.



It's like...a duality. ICE vs. FIRE vs. SCISSORS

You are a cheating jackass--

Oooh, language!



...one of the babies is right behind me, right?

Don't worry, I won't tell mom you cussed if you give me a simolean.

Haven't you noticed lately, Vesna, that we're kinda poor?



I don't know if that's such a good idea...



Njörðr, however, I'm down with, even though I had to go copy and paste his name because of the special characters.



Whoa, we have the same hair.

a) I have a thing for mohawks.
b) Njörðr, yours is so much more eye-searing! That makes it special.



So apparently, Demetri's tendency for EPIC. BROMANCE? Hereditary.

Guys? GUYS?!

Look, they're busy, Monique.



Dude, something is totally harshing my gaming buzz here.

Oh my god, I totally love Gears of Duty!



You did NOT just touch the hair, did you? Have any idea how much styling wax it takes to--

Just a tad.

Noogie rage is a little more understandable when one's hair is elaborate, I guess.



Look, I don't know what you're doing. You have plenty of time to be in your own spotlight and you're taking over MY time to shine and--

--crazy bitch, you don't even GO to our school. How did you even get on the bus?

...wait, how did she even get invited HOME?!



So...apparently Checo finds doing homework to be fun.

...yep.



Every bonus gets you guys that much further out of the hole AND one step closer to LTWs. Yay!



I'm cooking, I'm cooking, I hope Dad's proud!



Yeah, soup's so impressive, while I'm over here rolling fucking sushi...

According to my game, they take the same amount of skill?



Ifrit's an overachieving nerd! Woo!



Of course, it's time for another birthday!



Of course, Checo's a nerd! Though he apparently wants to make more money in his life than his parents have so far managed to make, combined.



We get him set up in appropriate nerdly trappings...



...desperate (nerd) or curious and openminded (nerd)? You decide!



Vesna, you'll be a teenager tomorrow. Isn't that a little old for picture books?



Spencer makes Carbuncle seem like the shyest Popularity sim ever, and he's like twelve.



And the mail lady's ghost? Hates him.

Dude, I don't even think Spencer existed when you died, you moron.



Well, this is interesting. I doubt the piles of autonomous sex Monique's had with Willowmere's teenage male population is really indicative of an interest in girls...



...not that this still didn't irritate me a bit. You're oh so desperate, but you turn down Carbie? D:



All I'm SAYING, Mom, is that I'm going to die alone and you'll never be a grandmother!

Teenage hyperbole nonwithstanding, you have six siblings. Unless they all accidentally die in the next couple of days, I think your mother will be rolling in grandbabies regardless.



Now, you two, remember, that it's important to pick up good studying habits now so you can get lots of scholarships for when you go to college!

...because your broke-ass family sure as hell won't be picking up tuition payments.



It looks like Monique managed to wrangle some...companionship? competition? over on the bus today, in the form of scarred_id's Ciaran Bean Sidhe.

I either need to make more teens or, at least, marry these two off to each other, age up the others, and write off teenage P_Ters as a failed experiment.



You would think that, Shiva.

How on earth is that pose endearing?



If ONE kid was going to have an after-school job, it'd be Checo.



Yaaaayyyyy. And a new friend?



It's bondchick_nett's Sweet Georgia Brown Behr!



(Yeah, I changed everybody into everyday clothing.)

Unfortunately, instead of buddying up to MY sims, she heads straight for Ciaran. Bleh.



Heeeheheeheeee!

Not. The. Hair!

Poor Njörðr.



As if you couldn't tell from the cake, and adorable pose, this time around is Vesna's birthday.



...do Family sims usually roll that one?



Orientation.



And we've got another overachiever in the house.



So, like, I was thinking it would be really awesome to be an astronaut. You'd get to eat astronaut food all the time!

I like to think that Vesna's rethinking her whole "family is all the friends I need" philosophy.



So maybe it's just the hair, but this is making me think Vesna's like an ebony skinned Uma Thurman.



This is an interesting development. Especially if it carries over to the Borks.



DEMETRI?! Aw, hell no. The worst part is all of his KIDS have seen and are going... "Aw, hell no."



So, I'm not all about pearl necklaces. I'd take a good facial any day.

I REGRET NOTHING ABOUT THIS CAPTION.



Oh dear. This is probably the ghost I was most worried about...and he took his time showing up, which makes it even more forboding now that he has.



Sure, don't scare the knowledge sims. They might LIKE it.



It looks like Njörðr's already got an ace in the hole for his generation's heir vote if people out there are Sweet Georgia Brown fans on top of it.



Demetri...maybe if you were reading a kid to sleep this would be okay. But you're in the bunk bed underneath your sleeping teenage daughter, and that's just kinda creepy.



It's kinda sad that there isn't enough room for them to all eat meals together, but usually only half the fam's hungry at once, anyway.



It's another weekend! So the nerds are nerding it up, and it looks like Spencer finally gets a turn on the Playstation after Shiva having hogged it for literal sim years.



Somehow I never pictured an ice queen happily contemplating pudding.



I think Ifrit's glad that Carbuncle hasn't gone all cloud cuckoo lander for once. It's a nice gesture for Spencer's birthday.



TOO BAD HE WAS ALREADY CRAZY.

This does make almost one of every aspiration. If only Ifrit or Doomtrain had rolled Romance instead, it would've been perfect and statistically awesome.



Aspiration.



Can you believe it? They're almost all grown up now. Hell, a judge could emancipate them all, right now!

Demetri really knows how to turn a woman on.



Spencer looked kinda scary before I gave him that hair.

Now he looks REALLY scary.



It's like he's trying to one-up himself.



And...for the first time...TWO ghosts appear at night. I have a feeling the ghosts haven't even yet begun to harrass the Magicakes.



But at least Ifrit and Shiva are buddy/buddy. It seems so cosmically right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The next update should take us to the *drumroll* HEIR POLL! It appears the next person in the lineup is simppl-life, so I suppose I should send out a PM soonish.
- I'm not sure if I'm going to play another family next, or if I'm just going to power through the rest of the Magicakes. While, on one hand, I'd kinda like to get in some Borks and get their youngest kids to teen to match up with the Magicakes, I hate having round robins for too long.
- Only the quads will be eligible for heir, but everybody will be available for download either when I put the poll up, or soon afterwards.

Also, if you don't have me friended, I Pookletededed some hairs, if you're curious.
