I can't believe how close we are!
Not that close though.
Let's dig in, shall we?
Adilyn is doing rounds of clean-up on all the tank-living creatures. Bani and Battleborn don't do much besides wiggle in their terrariums, but they're still very loved!
.....
I just love Toto more. XD
Briony is making excellent strides towards making all the potions. I've been waffling for when I'll have Briony and Brielle leave. First it was after Brielle got her job maxed... then it was after she maxed Athletic... then it was after the portraits were done... now I've settled on after Briony makes us a ghost potion or two so we can set ourselves up for one of the lifestates we'll need!
Liam is thiiiiiiiiiis close to maxing Charisma, and the wish is just hanging out there, taking up room and not letting him doing things with his toddlers, so I'm pushing for a max.
Adilyn quit her job. I have no idea why... she wished for it. Her next career she's going to take on is Architect so I can fix up some houses around Roaring Heights.
....
We'll see if it lasts longer than a few days, as I don't really want to deal with the lag that most Ambitions careers bring on, lol.
*wheezes*
I just got done watching Castle in the Sky with Blams and Mpart, so like this robot picture speaks to me.
Portrait number 2 underway!
These boys are so adorable! It's so hard to remember to not touch Baer (the blond) yet it's also so easy because his two siblings are on the same cycle as he is so I can usually estimate how his moods are!
Brielle just got done writing Baelfire a love-letter and now she's headed back out to max her athletic skill.
The Sims is a cruel mistress sometimes.
Why can't children count towards this?!
So I have no other choice but to put him to work with the toddlers anyways and die over the loss of the LTHP I'll have to endure. I did manage to squeeze in one slot, but with triplets it's just not enough to catch every wish. *weeps*
#tripletproblems
It's about this point that I'm feeling a slow down, so I do a reset.
Dayum. That's a lot of objects. Whatever works though!
Brooke looks so happy.
There, there now... all better.
Brett et al. werewolves changed back to their normal forms.
And life resumed with training. I've been a bit slow to these kiddos training, mostly because I'm juggling with getting Briony and Brielle ready to move on out.
Toddler mayhem with a bonus shot of Toto!
Blake learning how to walk from Daddy Liam.
Bianca and Beona live in-sync when it comes to painting and just about everything else. I find it mildly amusing as usually when I have twins in game they're very... not the stereotypical "twin" that does everything together. I'm sure it's like that for real life twins too - save for a minority, I imagine everything other than birthdays would be different about the two... yet not these two. Totally in sync!
It's a little frightening... XD
Lol does this mean I need to throw another family get-together so you both can make happy friends?
Toddler Training. Toddler Training. Toddler Training.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! That's SO unlike her! SP!!! *glares a mighty glare*
OH! Lmao.
That explains... EVERYTHING.
Olivia wouldn't be late for anything unless she was being PHYSICALLY REPRESSED. Lmao. Carry on.
ResetSim Olivia Keeper
So I found this singer entertaining Brett while he fished and about died laughing. Brett was grinning so I don't think he minds.
Brett: Yes! Keep scaring the fish this way! I'll catch more of them!
What an unlikely duo. XD
More toddler training and lovin'.
Heeeeee! So long as she's happy, I am! ♥
Adilyn finally popped, you know what that means? Makeover time! Finally!
Pickings were slim for maternity-enabled/morphed clothes in my game, but I did what I could.
Next up was Liam and... well it was a task. You'll see.
So his outfits are 100% fine, it's his hair that was driving me nuts and forcing me back into CAS several time as I decided what I wanted. Liam has a very wide face, so I'm used to him having a hat/messy curls but when I tried that on him it felt really juvenile and not really like daddy Liam. I settled on this hair thinking it was passible, and got out of CAS to this:
*grumbles and groans*
Full disclaimer: I allow myself to complain about this because I know how to make CC hair. Up until several weeks ago when I went through the painstaking process of learning it, I would've just shrugged this off, but now I know what causes it and it makes me beyond frustrated. I can't live with this, and I don't have time to fix it myself, so I send Liam back in, grab the first hair I see and exit.
...
And I can't stand it.
So we're going for a throwback.
Remember this, mpart?
I sure do.
Liam's hair was originally this + a hat (the EA store content), so I put the one WITH that hat on him and hated it, it didn't match his outfit so I grabbed the one sans hat and am in a "just deal with it" mode.
So that's that.
It's about time Olivia joined her proper career. *nods fervently*
Lol, he's probably doin' a job for Majnun, chill SP.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TOWN EATING MY POOR BABES.
Synchronized painting... synchronized painnntinnnggg.
If the hair wasn't enough of a throwback for me, watching him go through the faces of anger and brooding was enough to send me down a tizzy of weeping loudly.
More toddler training... only... with... BLOSSOM. Precious precious precious.
Get 'em Brylee!
Something, something, skills, something.
Wait... didn't you move in together before? *squints*
My mind...!
I'm losing it!
No wait, it's always been gone.
*snorts*
I don't know why I thought this would be interesting... like LOOK AT ALL THAT PAINTING. Pfft.
Anyways so I sent Liam on a mission to befriend the Keepers and Darkos as he would likely know them anyways IRS (you know like IRL but "in real storyline") as Liam is a Reaper (aka Olivia's Guardians) and Ezzie is Olivia's bestie/co-founder of the Guardians.
Logic right there folks.
I got Liam to Olivia and Kefka's house and found out REAL quick why they were constantly throwing up unroutable errors.
Liam kept tossing his hands up like I CAN'T GO TO THE DOOR.
The stairs were bugged to all hell, so I edited the lot, deleted them and replaced them and viola! It worked!
Also they're so fucking cute I'm so ded. Kefka snuck in a last hug and kiss before runnin' off to work for the night. Seems I arrived just in time!
Liam, on the other hand, was starting to burn in the sun.
Riiiiiiight, forgot that was a thing Vampires do. Perhaps I shouldn't have indulged in your want to join the gardening career?
Liam: ow ow ow! I'm smoking!
*snorts* well now you can't make fun of Jupiter anymore.
Why didn't I put him down in the town? I guess I wasn't thinking, lol. Him and Jack should go down if I remember to go into Edit Town mode again...
Skills skills blah blah at home.
It was in this moment I decided "fuck it" and went into CAS to look at Adilyn's freckle placements. Once I did that I went into CAS with Blossom and applied the same freckle placements.
My freckles are just not genetic folks. I think I can say that with certainty after 17 kids.
I WISH they were but alas, they are not, so I'll just have to deal.
Yes Briony! You make the potion! You're almost to this one I feel it!
(actual thoughts as I was in game watching her)
(walks away to check on someone else)
(hears a big POOF)
YOU'VE FAILED ME!
So Liam met Olivia, but unfortunately Kefka had to book it for work, so I sent him over to meet the Darkos... only they left right as he arrived... so I poked my nose around town and found Soliana in front of the Library.
So he greeted her and then sped off to go greet Quinn who just got home.
Adilyn, back at the ranch, was showing signs of her dear pregnancy coming to fruition.
Well done you!
Also funny note: Quinn and Ezzie live in the building that's like a museum on the outside. I'm so ded lmao that they picked this house.
That's 1000000000000% them: pick the house with all the random, eclectic shit.
The museums are all up to date!
And... it's Brooke's birthday!
For once she aged up without a hitch!
I was still prepared though... lmao.
She gained the Dog-Person trait. Fitting of a werewolf, no?
Do you like my nameplate for her? Lol I did it by hand, carving out all those apples into the O's. It was a fun little side-project to detract me away from studying about language disabilities.
Brooke already gives zero fucks. You do you girl.
...and I...
... will try...
...to...
...manipulate you.
*cackling*
Yes.... YES... YESSSSSS! Keep going, my pretty!
Go Baelfire, go! You tell them about all those buttfires from your past!
Speaking of Baelfire... Someone's been thinking about him... frequently.
So let's call him up to say hi!
Meanwhile Adilyn is out working in the garden, working to get to Bloom.
Almost there! Go go go!
FUCK YES! Finally! Yes! Yesssss! Babies! Brylee babies!
Speaking of babies, time for bed for the little ones!
... and the one out of my control, apparently?
Brielle bonds with Toto and she teaches him how to sing.
*double fist pumps the sky*
YOU GET IT GURL!
I put her right to work making me a second one and then discovering one last potion, as she's at 9/10 and I hate leaving things SO CLOSE yet so FAR.
Liam got a new LTW because... why not? What's the WORST that could happen?
Bugs? Glitches? Well I already got plenty and I'm still here so... WHY NOT?
Whooooaaaa Benny!
Benny: *shouting from long distance* I TOLD YOU I'M NOT. A. WOMANIZER.
Whatever you say, babe... whatever you say.
*still wanting him with Briar*
Oh look, a chess match... "chess match"
😏
Mhm.
Benny: *frustrated moose calls*
Welp folks, I've run out of excuses for why Briony and Brielle should stay now. I double checked their points and their skills, updated the point counts and sent them packing.
Ye will be missed.
My game saved after they left, and I had been playing it all day; suddenly story progression popped up saying Brielle and Baelfire broke up and I was floored like EXCUSE U WAT?
Then my game crashed and I reloaded and got no such messages so... all is well that ends well.
Livvie: *nearly strangles Liam for waking up one of the babies*
Does this mean all hope is gone?
*heaves a sigh*
Imma still try...
Twins. Twins. Twins galore.
Good morning to the triplets! And right about here is where I cut off... well, minus one thing: Messorem Moon!
Yup, I wasted several hours of my life on this. Still had a shit ton of fun though. XD Let's knock out Liam's LTW and make some money!
Wow, pretty resort. I have never tried that LTW... so going to watch how you do it then try myself. Worked for a bunch of the other ones :P
ReplyDeleteAw, Brooke is adorable, and being quite good thus far. I love that outfit you picked for her.
And yay for freckles on Blossom! She totally should have inherited the freckles - I'm not sure they're genetic, unless on the skin?
23,000 objects o_o thank you, nraas
ReplyDeleteI love Adilyn's makeover! Liam looks good, too.
Brooke went to bed at an appropriate time? Even freewill Messorems know to never mess up the routine.
