stillonmystringOh, Jesus, it's been so long. I was too busy to play for a week or so and then I just lost interest in playing for awhile but I am back in it now! Actually, though, all of this installment and the next are pretty old; I just hadn't gotten around to posting them yet. So let's see if I remember what's going on here...
Last time: Miranda continued on her lifelong quest to deliver ten children into this world. I am almost ready to give up because I am so tired of kids (and the Sim Gods like to torture me; you'll see what I mean at a later date) but I don't want to quit so close to the finish line! The kiddies were all adorable and very clean and Callie and Penny left for college to make room for more. Sasha briefly moved back in and threw the party of the century in celebration of his marriage to the absolutely amazing Ella. Miranda popped into a hideous maternity dress during the ceremony and Ella got knocked up afterwards which wasn't exactly the plan. Then I got all panicky about who I wanted to be heir and moved them back out for awhile. I've decided for sure now but generation five doesn't start for a couple installments because this was all in between moves. Phew. Let's go then.
The triplets enjoy some friendly after-school Sims 3 competition. Though I'm not sure exactly what they're competing to accomplish. Or why they're so intense about it. Oh my God, picking out what shoes their Sim is going to wear - SO DRAMATIC!
Christian: "Good game, guys!"
Colin: "I think I'm just gonna take a little nap..."
Chloe: "What? You mean we're not going again?"
You know it was an intense game when the kid who was only watching is ready to pass out on the sofa.
Apparently, these two tied for first place or something because these popped up at the exact same time. Alien kids are so smart, y'all!
FUCK BABY TIME!!!!!
Christian and Chloe are not happy about their future little brother(s) or sister(s).
Christian: "Please don't let it be twins! Please!"
And ta-da! It is not twins! It is baby number eight, Elodie! Who I can already tell will be beautiful (despite the fact that all babies look the same). And now that she's been born, it's time for her older siblings to grow up...
Colin is cool and he knows is.
Chloe is so pretty, oh my God.
Christian is cute too. Even if he is boring and I dislike him so much that I gave him grilled cheese as a secondary aspiration and unsuccessfully tried to drown him in the pool. (Don't judge me. It didn't work anyway because I wasn't mean enough to delete all of the ladders and he got to live on like nothing had ever happened!)
I don't think any of them enjoy having a baby in the house very much. Yeah, guys, babies stink. Maybe if you all weren't constantly hovering in the nursery because a. the computer's in there and b. no one can leave Elodie alone for five seconds you wouldn't have to smell it. Also, enjoy Colin's ballet workout outfit? He is so manly he can wear it without being embarrassed. Or secretly gay. Who knows.
Christian: "Oh God, a high chair. I think I might vomit!"
Way to make your sister feel like part of the family there.
Chloe's a good surrogate mom anyway, whether or not she actually likes her baby sister.
Christian just spends most of his time doing this. No one else ever tells him what hot stuff he is so he has to constantly remind himself.
And Colin does all of his sister's homework for her because she is a lazy slacker and he is the first Sim I've had in awhile who constantly rolls wants to do homework even when he has none to do. He doesn't mind at all, honestly. He actually gets a fun boost from homework, no lie. What a freak.
When he's not doing homework, he's getting acquainted with the lady friends he constantly brings home from school. Future girlfriend in the making? You'd better put on a nicer face if you want that to be a possibility, kid.
Girl: "I FUCKING HATE MILKSHAKES!"
Colin: "Yeah, well, money is a sore spot for me! I'd rather not discuss my family's substantial funds with mere impoverished mortals like you."
Yeah, okay, so maybe this relationship isn't going to work out so well.
Meanwhile, Miranda is on a quest formore babies love as well...
INAPPROPRIATE! You do realize this is the same exact headmaster who not only accepted you into private school but accepted your father into private school? He's, like, two hundred years old. And ugly besides. No way.
STILL INAPPROPRIATE! We haven't met him yet but this is Penelope's boyfriend. You may be a slut, Miranda, but I refuse to let you share a lover with your daughter. That's just messed up. Can you please want to flirt with someone appropriate???
She hasn't found herself a man so she has to show off her newly-muscled body to her horny teenage son. Miranda, appropriate - please go look up that word in the dictionary and modify your behavior accordingly, kthnx.
Colin: "Not now, mom... Can't you see I'm trying to get laid?"
Did I mention Col's a romance Sim? He's following in his mom's slutty footsteps. She should be proud!
Anyway, Miranda's been trying to get in touch with her outdoorsy side lately because her OTH is actually nature despite the fact that she hardly ever steps foot outside. And this is why. She was calmly searching for bugs for her collection when she was ATTACKED BY A SWARM OF KILLER BUMBLEBEES!!!
What would be really hilarious is if she got all swollen and red afterwards like Sims can get sunburn and freeze. But no, it just makes her stats plummet a little bit.
Anyway, Elodie is a toddler and so fucking adorable it hurts to look at her!
<333333
Colin manages to snag his first kiss. With a different girl but she's cuter and he's horny so I don't think he's really thinking about sticking to one lover.
And the next day, he brings home this girl who is totally gaga for him. I don't blame her. He's a hottie. A nerdy hottie but a hottie nonetheless.
And damn, look at their chemistry! And her last name, hehe.
Chloe: "O great brother! Please! Teach me your romantic ways."
Colin: "Only very special people can be as amazing as I am and you, sister, are not one of them. Bow down to my greatness!"
He may win at romance but he fails at work.
Colin: "I can't believe I lost my job *emo*"
Well, at least there's less of a chance that one of your lovers will catch you in that dorky uniform now. Totally doesn't fit your studly image, dude.
What?!? Elodie is a kid already! And adorably sullen.
So Christian is being shipped off to military school. Okay, college, same thing. Anyway, bye! Poor little Elodie, she doesn't know who she's supposed to be waving to.
Chloe sets off too.
And finally Colin. Damn, that little girl's got a huge smile.
They are greeted at their dorm by this lovely young lady knocking down their trashcan for absolutely no reason. Awesome!
And now, post-makeover college headshots because we will probably never see them again. Even if I do play them through, I will probably not post pictures unless something crazy happens because if I documented all of the kids' college years that would take for-fucking-ever. And if I don't, well, they're just going to be sitting in their dorm doing nothing for a few generations. Anyway, the triplets as adults!
Colin. Who is sexy and amazing. I want a Colin.
Chloe is fucking gorgeous and if I wasn't already attached to the older kids more, she would totally be heir. Actually, I would probably pick Colin before her because she's beautiful but kinda boring. But it's neither of them so it doesn't really matter.
And Christian. Who, again, is cute but for whatever reason, I just don't like him. He's already got a prospective girlfriend, though, with only a few hours spent on campus so maybe that'll change.
Next up, Callie and Penny go to college! And then we finally get started on bringing in the next generation!
