Pinkington Palace, 2.06
Oh wow, have I really not updated these guys since September? I didn't realise it had been so long! Well, I've had to reinstall the game once or twice in that time, but it's all back and running again, so hopefully I'll be able to play them a bit more often. The first bunch of photos are from the last time I played, back in September, ouch.
And we start with Veronica choosing to study in a most unusual way.
And Sabrina is freaking out because my sim is still alive and badly dressed.
Micah: Goddamn that sounds like shit.
This would be Amelia, one of Marmaduke's daughters.
And Christian, his other daughter. All grown up!
Oh yeah, that's the place for a nap.
Crissy: So they're all my bikes and you have to keep your filthy hands off them, okay??
Betty: Oh dude that's cool, I'll be getting rides home in cop cars any day now! I won't need a bike to get home!
Crissy's hand: She crazy?
Crissy: She crazy.
Crissy's hand: 'salright?
Crissy: 'salright!
It's the Roberts family! Fezzik with Annemarie (left) and Rosemarie. Rosemarie is Gertie's daughter, and you can tell that by the pink skin. If you're confused about them, you might want to check out the family tree :)
Micah: Hey Inigo, bro, can I borrow a couple of bucks? Me and the ol' lady wanna go out on date night but we're like totally strapped, man.
Inigo: *sigh* I suppose so.
He gave like, $9. Hah.
Now that's an attractive angle.
That was where I was up to when I played last. I recently had to uninstall/reinstall to get the latest patch and Awesomemod update working (and boy am I out of the loop with TS3 hacks. No more Indie Stone? BOO). But I backed up my games and CC first.
BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WENT BACK TO THIS POINT IN THE GAME. I have played through from this scene THREE times now, and boy oh boy. NOT. HAPPY. JAN.
Es wasn't too thrilled about it either. And why can't I get them to sit on the tub? It's an autonomous action but I want in!
Sabrina: So, uh, total deja vu here guys. What do you think's gonna happen next?
Betty: I think I'm gonna have some of what you're having.
Veronica: As long as I'm near my trusty mirror, I don't mind. *preen*
Invisi!Crissy: I JUST WANT TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK, GOD DAMN IT. IT'S A REASONABLE REQUEST, WHICH YOU'VE CHOSEN TO IGNORE.
Ahem. Perhaps now isn't the best time to be channelling Rocky Horror.
What I chose to do was say "fuck it! I'm NOT going to play through those days again and have nothing to gain."
So it was mass birthday time. EVERYONE AGES UP. YOU AGE UP, YOU AGE UP, YOU AGE UP AND YOU AGE UP!
(but you have to pay any taxes you incur for aging up)
Gardening in heels is great for aerating the lawn.
The girls went back to indulging in their hobbies while I sorted out makeovers and saving their files for upload.
I went on a download spree after I reinstalled my game, so it's great to get a bunch of new stuff!
And man, I'm now in a total dilemma about who to have as heir.
When I said it was birthdays for everyone, I meant it! Esmerelda was still like, 11 days away from being an elder, but Micah was only 3, so I thought I'd bump them both up too.
Esmerelda: Whoa, headrush. Hey there Mr Hand!
Bitsy: Doo be doo be doo...wait, what? What's going on?
I hate how long birthdays take. I should see if there's a hack to shorten them.
Veronica!
Betty!
Sabrina!
Crissy!
I was leaning very heavily towards Sabrina for heir because she has the pink hair and eyes, BUT OH MY GOD Crissy is GORGEOUS. For the baby that wasn't meant to be conceived, and then named herself when I was in another house, wow. I had been prepared to write her off from the start. I had also wanted Betty because she's fun, but I love Sabrina's colouring. I WAS tempted to inflict children up child hating Veronica, but I think she just needs to get married off to a rich man.
Esmerelda looks like she's badly sunburnt there :)
And she's as kooky forever, exercising in her formal wear. And failing miserably.
I do love this interaction :D But these girls all have like, NO boobs. I'm sure they had some boobs before. They're all barely A cups!
I hopped over the fence to see what these guys were up to, and found Fezzik trying to choke herself. So it's all same old same old, I can see.
I also aged up the kids there.
And this is what Jennie was wearing. Nice. NOT.
She looks better now :)
Oh that's far too close for siblings to be.
That would be...Annemarie, Fezzik's daughter.
And Rosemarie.
Bitsy: Whatever you do, DON'T GO OUTSIDE. They'll hear you! They have their listening towers disguised as TREES.
Veronica started her new job in the business path as a coffee grinder fetcher person. Doesn't she look thrilled with her work clothes?
And even though the bus is RIGHT THERE, Crissy decides to run to school. Uh, okay?
Sabrina now has a job as a doctor! It will hopefully lead to fulfilling her LTW, but would you really want a cowardly doctor? She may be neat, good and a workaholic (as well as athletic), but she might just be too scared to do the operation or to make a risky decision!
WOO
After that she autonomously headed over to the park to work out. I love her outfit, I really do. It says "meh", but I just love that colour combination. In the background is the stylishly dressed Aron Simtasia, my sim's son.
That was bound to happen. Especially as the last two times I've played through these few days, both he and my sim have died.
BUT WHICH PINKINGTONS???
Possessed!Crissy decides to make herself at home at the science labs by giving them fish. It's so handy to get these opportunities about bringing fruit, vegetables or fish in, because these guys have plenty in their inventories.
Oh man, Betty, that's talent. But for a clumsy sim like you, I recommend wearing sneakers when riding a bike.
I'm sorry, but what the fuck is up with these lab coats?? I mean seriously?? LOL
Check out these fancy digs! Who lives there??
It's where Tabitha and Nikita and kids moved to. NICE. Working in politics is agreeing with you, Tab!
Also, please note the very professional greeting there. They're not close :)
That's Melodie, one of Tabitha's daughters. The other one didn't come home while we were there.
See? I told you she was making herself at home. She plans on working with those robots later.
Sabrina ended up playing chess with her cousin Amelia. I really hate those puffy vests.
And Bitsy went to visit Christian, to give her the painting she'd commissioned, but she wasn't home. We found that Prudence has gotten old, though.
Annnnd Esmerelda is still whack a doodle.
OMG CAR ACCIDENT.
But it's okay, Sabrina wasn't hurt. She's off to the symphony!
Sabrina: Will they let me sing?? I'M REALLY GOOD.
Yeah, I don't think so.
HEIR POLL TIME.
Poll
So it's just a short update, because I wanted to get the issue of heir out of the way before I went and started moving people out and having them date. If Crissy ends up being heir, I may just age her up again. It's my game, I'll cheat if I want to! :p
