The Frost Legacy 1.3
Okay, I know it's been a little over three months since I even touched this legacy, but like I said in some earlier post, I'm not a quitter. I fully intend to finish this legacy and all my other various legacies and challenges. I just sometimes get burned out on certain families/challenges and need a break until they feel fresh again.
In our last episode: Jake found out that Moonbeam had no intention of letting him skip school if she could help it, Nellie grew in to an adorable toddler and Jake entered his teenage years and became more like Ticky than ever.
Gaww! Even though the state of the floor and Nellie herself scream crackhouse baby, I can't help but think she's still one of the cutest toddlers in my game. Ever.
Moonbeam: "Of course she's cute! She's mine, isn't she?"
Aww, I missed your ego!
Jake has proved a godsend in the big brother department. Nellie worships him!
Nellie: "Let me out, damnit! I wanna play in the toilet!"
Ticky: I don't get it. Why am I being passed over for promotion again and again?
You probably lack the skills, sweetie. Sorry.
Keira: "Homework is fun!" *sparkle-smiles!*
Keira is far more studious than Jake.
And guess who celebrated a birthday! Nellie is too cute for words, am I right?
Ticky sometimes lapses in to typical ISBI spouse behaviour and indulges in soap operas. We all have our vices.... At least she doesn't lock her enemies in the bathroom until they starve to death.
Ticky: *bes full of anxiety*
Moonbeam: "You look tense. Perhaps I can be of assistance?"
Ticky: "Woohoo! Rock paper scissors champion of the world, Ticky Frost, emerges victorious once again!"
Moonbeam: "Gah! How do you keep doing that?"
Moonbeam sucks at rock paper scissors. Ticky beats her every single time. I think she must be psychic or something.
Moonbeam may be a sociopath, but she's really been a good wife to Ticky despite that. What girl wouldn't want to come home to somebody who will always give multiple backrubs after a long hard day at work?
Ticky: "I'm so glad I married you...."
... Ticky's peace of mind wasn't to last, however.... the next morning.....
Ticky: "Bawww! All my babies are grown up and in school! My.... my babies!" *sobs*
Awww, sweetie. Please stop. The other kids on the school bus will see you and make fun your babies!
Moonbeam's reaction to finally having all the kids in school was quite different to Ticky's.
Moonbeam: "See this? This is the last baby bottle. Ever. Hells yeah!"
Nellie: Why do they grade you on your first day? That hardly seems fair!
Jake: "Don't you look at me like that! How'd you like a good punch in the gravestone?"
Jake is... uhhh... a little... schizophrenic.... all the time. He does this periodically throughout the day. Every day.
Keira: "Are those snails? Eww, Mom! That's disgusting!"
Moonbeam: "Don't knock it 'til you try it."
Ticky: "There you are! I've been waiting in here forever!"
These two will never lose the spark, it seems. They make me smile...
I'd make a crack about teaching your son to gamble, except that Jake always beats Moonbeam at poker.
Nellie has discovered the joy of bubbles!
Jake: "Hey, Mom! Look over there!"
Moonbeam: "What? I don't see anything..."
Bahaha! The student has surpassed the teacher.
Tyrell: That's right. I don't even look at people when I scare them anymore. I'm that detached.
Nellie: *faints*
Jake: "Oh my god. What if she's dead?" *worry, worry, fret*
Nellie: "I'm okay. I think..."
Tyrell: "Moonbeam! At last I have you in my clutches!"
Moonbeam: "A ghost!!!"
Seriously, she has been waiting most of her life to fulfill the want of seeing Tyrell's ghost. I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized I could finally lock new wants for her.
Tyrell: "Give me your soul, little girl!"
Keira: *brings the self wetting count up another notch*
Ticky loves to cry in the bathroom at night. I'd wonder why she always chooses the bathroom, except that's where I do most of my crying as well. I totally get it. It's the only place private enough when you don't live alone.
Aren't you going to at least bring your pizza inside?
Nellie: "Can't talk. Eating."
In her middle age, Moonbeam has developed an interest in becoming more cold and calculating logical.
Moonbeam: "Bills again! I hate bills! I'll freakin' kill that mail lady!"
*hides*
None of the kids are on a normal sleeping schedule. Most of them stay up all night and take naps right after school.
There's no reason for this picture. I just liked it.
Ticky: *waits for hours for somebody to come play a hand of poker with her*
Nellie: "Oh, hi! Remember, vote Nellie for heir!"
Keira: "What the hell? Are you vote grubbing already?"
Nellie: "You can't start too early. Vote for Nellie!"
Jake's smustle faces = win!
Keira tries to outdo him, but she just doesn't have the smustle face knack...
Moonbeam is still very keen on video games. She's not the only one, though. She rarely gets time on the computer anymore, due to the entire household having gone gaming crazy!
She does believe in family time, though. And since Jake and she were both awake on this particular evening, she decided to take him downtown to see more of the world than just school and his own backyard. Off to Legacyville Family Center we go!
.... where Jake enjoys many a snack from the vending machines....
Moonbeam was sure it was just the fact that she'd never ice skated before that made her feel slightly dizzy....
... she fell more than was considered normal, however. I think she enjoyed herself, though. Jake declined to join her on the ice.
He was far too busy pushing prettyful townie ladies on the swings!
Once again, no reason for the next two pictures at all. I just liked them and wanted to capture a few angles of this lot. Legacyville Family Center still needs a little tweaking, particularly in the bathrooms, bowling alley and ice skating rink areas, but I'm pretty sure I'm done with the outdoors now.
End random pictures of Legacyville Family Center.
Jake! Peeing in the bushes!!? Ugh - you can't take teenage boys anywhere!
I think Jake probably enjoyed his first foray outside the home. He met a couple of people, had his first taste of oreos and cheetos, and pissed on a hedge. All in all 100% successful trip!
Nellie: *doesn't hold a candle to Jake's smustle faces either*
Like myself, Moonbeam has started a daily blog on which she writes about her gaming. However, I think hers is mostly about SSX cheat codes and walkthroughs, as she doesn't actually own any other games.
Because I have pescado's antihumble installed, so the Frosts never receieved Sims 3. I was actually wondering, if anybody knows, can you buy it in stores at the game displays with antihumble in? Or is it completely exclusive to Mr Humble's visit?
Jake: "I didn't mean it!"
You so did! The bathroom has been free all morning! Seriously, what the hell?
Ticky: "Getting pretty hungry in here!"
There's food on the kitchen counter. All you have to do is stop crying in the bathroom, walk out there and eat it.
Ticky: "Oh, there is? Is it grilled cheese?"
Actually, it is.
Keira's one command for childhood was of course to grow up a day early. She rolled family, with a secondary of romance. And is anti-black hair. No Fennell spares for her spouse if she's heir, I guess!
.... are you ready to squee?
Heh, she still loves playing video games in her pajamas...
... and makes the cutest video game faces since Moonbeam.
Ticky: "No, you're doing it wrong! You've gotta cut across over there!"
Keira: "You'd better be right!"
Ticky: "I am, trust me. Right there!"
Ticky has such high enthusiasm for games nowadays that she's started standing behind the kids while they play and telling them what to do. It would drive me nuts if I was one of her kids!
Keira: Eww! This must be that BO that all those anti-perspirant commercials are always talking about!
Seriously, the Frost women are some of the foxiest women in my game. Ever.
In celebration of Keira's birthday, and in the hopes of tiring her out so her sleeping pattern wasn't so insane anymore, Moonbeam took her downtown to The Little Green Diner for her first ever community lot visit.
Moonbeam: She's gonna choke. That $25 is mine!
Richelle: *totally chokes*
*sigh* Not half an hour in to the visit, Keira fell asleep in the rain. And stayed there.
All night!
Keira: We're leaving already?
Uhh, yeah. Moonbeam is far too tired from waiting for you to wake up. No more community lot for you this time. You are fail!
Things were a little frosty (heh, no pun intended) in the car on the drive home. Moonbeam felt like her outing was unappreciated, and Keira felt like her mother had wanted to leave just when she'd been ready to enjoy herself. Ahh, teenagers!
Damn, but she's smokin' hot!
Somehow, Ticky always manages to avoid food poisoning....
It's Cait Cole by rhiannon_alexis! She's so adorable! I would definitely like to marry her in to one of my legacies at some point.
Why is Moonbeam trying to become younger, you might ask?
Okay, here's the lowdown. It was Moonbeam's birthday the same day as Keira's. When I aged her up, her hair disappeared (even though it works for elders) and was replaced by the maxis mohawk. Her skintone showed on every part of her (scalp and the neck down) except for her face! And her eyes disappeared and were replaced by default eyes. No matter how I tried to age her up, even with cheats and hacks, this would happen.
And when I went in to CAS to see if I could isolate what was causing the issue, I aged her up in there and the same thing happened! I tried creating Moonbeam with different skintones and eyes and to my horror, no matter what hair, eyes and skintone (even defaults!) I gave her, she would error like this in elderhood. I checked my other saved sims and none of them have this issue. I then created a woman with her hair, eyes and skintone but didn't actually give her Moonbeam's face, just let her be a randomized sim, and she aged up perfectly with no borkiness! I don't know what to do!
Anyway, for this reason, I have played the family an extra day to get Nellie to teen. Then I guess I will just have to *cringes and wants to cry* kill Moonbeam before she reaches elder. Yeah, that's right. I know I'm not meant to take control of the next generation until they get an age-up popup, but given the circumstances, I don't have much choice. There's no reason why the legacy should end just because Moonbeam is broken in some horrible way. So, after this update, there will be an heir poll. And then disease will just have to strike Moonbeam down in her prime. There's no other way.
Ticky: *reads the newspaper, blissfully unaware that her wife isn't long for this world*
Again!!!??? Once again, bathroom was free for hours!
Jake: "But I had a phone call...."
Excuses, excuses.
Keira is still the best student of the three kids. She actually got an A+ once, believe it or not.
Nellie: "Homework is stupid! I'mma kick it across the room!"
Jake: "If that homework flies up and hits me in the head, you'll lose yours...."
Yeah, Nellie was actually the problem child. After missing the schoolbus a few times, she was deep in the red (despite Moonbeam driving her straight away). It was tantrum city!
Nellie was the only one of the children to grow up badly. She rolled popularity with a secondary of romance.
Bad, damn! So pretty!
Yeah, I know. She's lit from behind. Deal with it.
Isn't she a treasure, though? She's such a lovely mix of both her parents, as is Keira. I'm still pretty sure Jake is a total clone of Ticky.
There's something so lovely about her sensible hair and outfit. But then, she's a little more of a tomboy than her sister...
The family that games together, stays together.
Ticky: "Are you feeling well? You don't look so good?"
Moonbeam: "Just a headache. It's fine. Not enough sleep, maybe...."
Moonbeam is not the sort of lady to think much of headaches or the occasional dizziness. Unfortunately for her, this headache is not just a headache. Something more sinister is going on.....
Ticky isn't the only one to have noticed Moonbeam looking a little pale, though. Nellie too has noticed, and is beginning to grow concerned....
Don't forget to vote in the heir poll in my next post! The kids' stats will be included to help you make your decision!
