Glittergaze 1.5
Featuring sims from simpurity and music_simbol, and cameos from simsforaranya, radiationpoison, brilliantcat, abbycat, music_simbol, quellasims and _simplyrandom.
Oh yeah, she's buff.
I love the block towers.
He's been out there ALL afternoon, and late into the night. Oops.
That is the face of an addict, my friends.
Woo! Alejandro has gotten his glow on!
Which means we get a plaque! YAY!
Dementia now adds the body skill to the list of skills she's maxed out.
They're both studying mechanical. Thrust for her job, and Dementia to max it out. She's on nine!
Off to their first day of private school.
Looking foxy there, Thrust.
For the first time since what, day two? Everyone is out of the house.
OH YEAH.
Spiderspaz: Oh thank you great Gnome Gods, for answering my prayers! I am truly thankful and honoured!
Why?
Because he brought home Paco Pierce (simsforaranya).
I guess they hit it off REALLY well at school, because this was the first autonomous action he had after he finished praying, which coincided with Paco getting off the bus.
As much as Paco is into Spidey...
He's not that easy.
Oh man, you guys are great.
Thrust brought this guy home. He's not P_T so it doesn't matter.
But THIS is great, because it works well with this week's challenge:
Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition: NOT THE FLUFFY CUSHIONS, ANYTHING BUT THAT! All existing chairs/beds in the house must be swapped for the highest comfort replacements. You have the week to achieve this - if you've not earned enough during the week you may sell items, forego food, or whatever is necessary (without cheats) to achieve this goal.
It must be awkward trying to flirt and kiss with your parents so close by.
Aww, he didn't want to hug Thrust. How could he deny her??
I see you Danger Slam, taking notes.
Dragon Snort has no sense of personal space.
Dragon Snort: Oh great Gnome Gods, please let me grow up to be as popular as my brother!
The Garden Club challenge may be over, but I'm still wanting to get that wishing well.
YAY you can cook with meat now!
And then...when the Garden Club came back over...the game crashed. WHAT. I was very annoyed. I'm just going to buy the damn wishing well. And because all the teens kept rolling the want to go to college, despite there being NO college hood at all, I made one. FINE YOU CAN GO. But not yet.
I'd last saved at this point (when everyone was at school), so I hadn't lost too much, but I had to replay those few sim hours.
Fortunately Paco still came home on the bus with Spidey...but he took a shine to Bubble Charm. NO.
So I cheated their relationship back up to where it was.
(side note, that dog wandering by is one I made, and her name is Chlamydia. I have class.)
Mother still looks on. This family is weird. She still got her promotion, too, as did Alejandro. Whew.
The guy she brought home from work this time was Harlequin von Prism (radiationpoison). I haven't checked to see if we lost our furniture discount, but I'm expecting so.
Thrust: I bet they're like, totally gonna date now.
Alejandro: I'm home! Look at me! I'm faaaaaaaaaabulous!
This didn't impress him very much.
Not enough to be interested in grilled cheese, anyway.
Or to let her hug him.
Harlequin: Fine. I'll say goodbye, but I'm NOT happy about it.
Whoooops.
As per this week's challenge, we're upgrading all the chairs, beds and couches. Starting with the study/play rooms first. $1200 a piece, ouch.
Bubble Charm wanted another date, so we called up our friendly zombie gypsy again...
And got Tamsyn Sobriety (brilliantcat). Thrust's friend. That's gotta be...weird. Walking away in the back there is Tommy Jillian (abbycat900), who stopped by to read the paper.
Sadly, even the magic rose didn't win Tamsyn over. I should let them spend more on dates.
Just photo time, that's all. Tamsyn wanted it. Weirdo.
OUCH.
But she didn't seem that thrilled to be getting it to take home.
(I've also added a second floor to the house, in case you were wondering. The kid's rooms and another bathroom are up there, the photo booth is in the hall)
I could tell it wasn't going anywhere, so I let it die quietly.
Dang, girl. That's logic, body and mechanical maxed out.
Birthday time for Dragon Snort! YEAH.
I had sold off some of the garden stuff to pay for the new beds and chairs, but I thought Dragon Snort could entice some more money from the genie to help.
Dragon Snort: Holy hell that's a huge bag of cash! I bet I could get the girls interested in me with this!
Genie: I really need to talk to my agent. These gigs are just so beneath me. I am an ACTOR.
And Dementia was sent to milk the wishing well. That's just some Maxis townie reading our paper there, feel free to ignore.
For someone who is completely obsessed with being clean, I'm surprised you got pimples! But yay because these kids are the first teens in ages to have them in my game.
Which means we get to use the acne cream, woo!
The dining chairs and couch have now been upgraded in matching colours.
I really do not like the four poster beds. I'll be switching back as soon as this challenge is over.
There had been two bedrooms up here, but I decided to make it one, now that I couldn't have my bunk beds any more.
OH CRAP. Damn you, genie.
And since it took Thrust and Alejandro SO GODDAMN LONG to get out of bed, thanks to that snuggling thing, the burglar got away.
Alejandro: How can I watch our home made porn without our tv??
I love this interaction.
Another handy way to get some extra money is to have your teens with a fortune bent offer financial consulting.
Then it was Thrust's turn...
Whoopsie! I forgot about that.
Thrust: Thank you, Gnome Gods, for not killing me!
You do have plenty of space OUTDOORS for that you know.
Everyone needs a pink DJ booth, right? RIGHT??
Especially for cute dancing opportunities.
Uh oh. You're getting a bit close to the Gnome Gods, Bubble Charm.
Gnome God: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PUT ME DOWN! I DEMAND YOU PUT ME DOWN! WAIT! THAT TICKLES!
I didn't know you could do that with them!
Ooo Paco is over again!
These two are HOT for each other. Their autonomous actions are so sweet.
He isn't bothered about trying to impress Dragon Snort, though.
Hey, it's Paz Valenzuela (music_simbol), Alejandro's sister. That's how I made them, anyway, when I put them in the neighbourhood.
Bubble Charm isn't a fan of Ariel McGee (quellasims), who came home with Dragon. She only likes the girls, so I thought I'd see if she liked either of mine, but Dementia was at work so we couldn't check.
YEAH THRUST. So that's body and charisma maxed out for her.
AWESOME!!
As mayor, you should probably get a new car. When we don't have to spend money on the house, we might do that.
And yay for you too!
Spiderspaz: Oh Gnome Gods, thank you for my family, my job, my devastating good looks, and for Paco, that saucy minx.
I thought I'd see what they'd be getting when I ship them off to college. Or IF I do. Maybe I'll make them suffer and lose all those aspiration points...
NICE! And I guess I forgot to check Bubble Charm's. OOPS.
Ariel: Oh I can't wait to get into a legacy and start popping out the babies! *hint hint*
Please don't be fuming about this forever.
Uh, who the hell are you, Maxis townie?? He stayed there almost all night o_O
Oh my, these two seem to be hitting it off nicely.
Thrust likes to relive the childhood she didn't have.
These two took over the best bed in the house.
I hope they have pyjama pants on.
Now this may be problem. Ariel is gay, but likes women with...facial hair? Interesting.
Oh that's so sweet. And even sweeter when you realise it was autonomous!
I'm not sure what was going on here, but Spiderspaz did something to piss these two off.
He was only trying to dance with them!
Alien acne looks so strange.
Another one who loves skipping! It must be genetic.
Pirate Bubble Charm is off to sail the great blue yonder.
You're THE MAYOR. Since when do you have time to decorate the bloody office??
Hello Robin Honeyblossom (_simplyrandom)!
Bubble Charm: WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Bubble Charm: DON'T TOUCH THEM! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
Rose von Prism(radiationpoison): I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BUT YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN.
Bubble Charm: *gasp* HE STOLE A GNOME GOD. OH. MY. STARS.
He totally did, the bastard. I hope we can get him back!
Bubble Charm: Are you okay, oh Gnome God? I will do my best to retrieve your lost brother.
Spiderspaz: *sob* My lords, please forgive me *sob* for anything I might have done wrong.
Bubble Charm: Hey, good job on getting some mouth music!
Bubble Charm: My name is Bubble Charm Glittergaze. You stole my Gnome God. Prepare to die.
Bubble Charm: Do not worry, for I will protect you.
