The Alpha Legacy! two.point.one

stillonmystringLast time: Piggy the Cat was a total inconvenience and would have been sent away if I didn't have a heart of gold. Royce and Tally were inarguable failures as responsible parents. Tally cheated on her husband with this loser her work friend randomly set her up with but, don't worry, Royce got revenge by woohooing with Tally right in front of the dude. This resulted in another baby boy named Adrian. Meanwhile, Adam grew up, due to his parents' neglect, into a cat bed-sleeping, cat food-eating toddler. And then he grew up into a neat freak who vied for his parents' attention by showing off his bathtub-scrubbing prowess. Predictably, his sloppy parents weren't very impressed. It might also be important to note that Tally was looking suspiciously round in the tummy area at the end of the last update... Fun times all around! Ready for the next installment?!?
A couple weeks ago, we left off with a sudden and unexpected pregnancy. Now, let's meet up with Tally again as she suddenly and unexpectedly goes into labor. Wow, time sure flies when you're having fun and/or trying to keep a cranky pregnant woman alive, doesn't it?
In a less unexpected development, Royce slept through most of his wife's screams of anguish. Lovely.
Tally: IF I SOMEHOW MANAGE TO COME OUT OF THIS ALIVE, MARK MY WORDS, I WILL STRANGLE YOU IN YOUR GODFORSAKEN SLEEP THAT YOU CAN'T SEEM TO LIVE WITHOUT!
Oh... Well. This is certainly an interesting development.
Adrian: *senses imminent defeat by mystical twin powers, gives up on life at the tender age of two*
Tally: Come hold your kid, you bastard. I've still got another one left to pop out.
Royce: Who - wha - is it morning? Wait a minute, I have a baby?...
Royce: I have another baby? God help me, what have I ever done to deserve this life?
Tally: Just shut up and take the thing, alright? We can discuss your suicide options later.
Royce: Alright, I'm holding the damn kid. So what do I do with it now?
Tally: Um... halp?!?
And baby August graces the Simworld with his presence! Along with his brother, Ambrose, whom his father is grudgingly acting like he gives a damn about. Yes, two more boys. Apparently, the combined super-genes of Tally and Royce are unable to produce even one girl. This development makes me very sad and is also causing me to run out of boys' names starting with the letter A. Well, okay, there are probably a lot left but I'm picky so that reduces the list of possibilities rather drastically.
Oh, the joys of parenting twins! I hope the sarcasm came across loud and clear in that statement.
I guess underneath Tally's many years as a "responsible" parent and her classy new makeover, she's still the same old girl with no regard for the personal space of others she always was. Some things never change... unfortunately.
Yeah, girl, laugh it up. You're a middle-aged woman who is still amused by her own bodily functions. Fucking hilarious.
Adam's Spidey-senses are tingling. They're telling him that since the birth of his baby brothers, he has to up his obsessive-compulsive cleaning game even more to get his parents to pay the smallest bit of attention to him, the poor neglected eldest child.
Adam: Hahaha, my crisp lines and fluffed pillows will show those little brats who's the real star of this show! Step aside, twins! Make way for your awesome older brother and his expert bed-making skills! The throne shall be mine at last! Bwahahahaha! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Adam: Old newspapers don't stand a chance against me! My superhuman eye for cleanliness will save the world! But it's no big deal. Just another day in the life of Adam Alpha, golden child, man of the house, THE ONE AND ONLY HEIR AND FUTURE RULER OF ALL HUMANITY!
Now don't get carried away there, kid. I'm afraid you might end up being terribly let down if you do.
Oh, but what's this? I believe we have a challenger in young Adrian, who is finally growing up!
Royce: You mean finally he's becoming a man and I won't be held accountable for his welfare anymore?!?... Oh happy day! Oh happy happy da -
Royce: What? He's just a slightly older child now? FUCK THIS SHIT! WHERE IS MY REFUND FOR THIS SHITHOLE CALLED LIFE?!
(P.S. You will notice all of the floors in their house are mysteriously bare throughout these next few pictures; I accidentally deleted the floor they'd been using, oops.)
Tally: Hey, what's all the racket about in here? Oh, hello there, son! Goodness, you look different though I can't quite put my finger on why... Oh well, nice seeing you! Now I've got to get back to my soap operas before the commercial break ends.
Adam: WHAT IS THIS GROWING UP I SENSE?!? HOW DARE MY BROTHER TRY TO UPSTAGE ME, HOW DARE HE!
Funnily enough, trying to upstage his brother is actually the first thing Adrian does upon growing up. He's positively giddy with glee just to pick up that dirty bottle and put it in the trash. WHO ARE THESE STRANGE ALIEN CHILDREN?!? Because certainly such tidy creatures couldn't be the product of uber-slobs Tally and Royce.
Adrian: Hey, Mom, could you get out of my way? I'm trying to throw this bottle away and it's VERY IMPORTANT!
Adam: Moooooooom! Adrian is cleaning up all the dirty bottles and won't leave any for me! MAKE HIM STOOOOOOP!
Tally: Do you think if I just stand here and don't say anything they'll go away?
Tally: Adrian, sweetheart, now that you're much older and more mature, you might find that you'll be asked out on dates by girls all the time. But don't stress over it, okay? Just be patient and I'm sure eventually the perfect girl for you will come along.
Adam: B-b-but Mom, I've never been asked out on a date.
Tally: Sweetie, some people are just more handsome and charming than others. That's a fact of life and it's better you learn it now when you can still do something about it.
Royce: SOMEBODY GET THIS DISGUSTING DAMN BABY AWAY FROM ME! ARRRRGH!
Parenting 101: When you get the sudden urge to run off and have wild animal sex with your significant other, don't sweat it if you don't have the time to put your infant child back in his crib. He will be perfectly comfortable and safe on the cold, hard floor while you're away fulfilling your needs, even if it takes several hours.
Guys, I know it's fun and all, but do you not understand that this is why you keep having children in the first place?!? Get that through your thick skulls already, alright, and use some protection or practice some control or something, God.
Piggy: *wants to look away but somehow finds she cannot*
Due to the fact that they're uh, pre-occupied with other things most of the time, Tally and Royce have handed the gardening duties over to their underage children. Somehow, I think that can't quite be legal but at least Adam seems to enjoy it!
Adrian, on the other hand, does not. Though I can't say I blame him. In a saner land, a social worker would be there the moment that dangerous container of poisonous bug killer landed in an eight-year-old kid's hands. He wouldn't even have time to spray one plant before he was whisked away. Sadly, this land is far, far away from that cozy little village called Sanity.
I guess this is as good a time as ever to tell you what the next mini-challenge will be.
WINDFALL! Your Sims have won the lottery! Motherlode once. Congratulations on your good fortune :D
Sudden wealth! I can definitely get behind that one. Though it won't make for very interesting pictures, it will make their house much more pleasant to look at.
With that in mind, allow Adam and Adrian to model the redecorated kitchen for you while also showing off their Smustling skills.
The living room still remains sadly un-remodeled. And this work uniform will never not be funny. I almost want her to never get promoted just to see that come home everyday.
Royce: Honey? Ah, honey, your suit of armor is kind of getting in the way of my enjoying this kiss. I appreciate the gesture, really, I do, but do you think you could put on something a little less potentially harmful first?
OHAI! MORE EXPLODING CHILDREN! Ambrose grew up into this ridiculous yet somehow totally awesome hairdo which is so awesome I'm now obliged to leave it on him for the rest of his life.
And August's hair is less crazy but no less lustrous. Damn, if Royce will be remembered for just one contribution to this family, it'll without a doubt be his impossibly shiny, thick and weatherproof mane of blond hair.
Tally: WOOHOO! POTTY-TRAINING TIME! YES!
Royce: Honey! I'm impressed! You're actually showing initiative for once and taking part in the rearing of your children!
Tally: Not really, I just came up to see if this brand new potty we bought was worth all my hard-earned money. Good news? It passes the test!
Royce: You know... for some reason, I had a feeling that would turn out to be the case.
Guess what?!? This is Tally's I'M PREGNANT... AGAIN! face. Which I'm not really sure is expressing joy or pain. But I'll take either as long as it comes with a girl!
Adam: Mother, where are your table manners? You're getting food all over my clothes! I just washed these, you know!
Adrian: Ugh, I can't handle even being in the same room as this... beast. Are you sure she's my real mother?
Adam: OH GOD! SERIOUSLY, MOM, WHAT THE FUCK?!?
Adrian: Thinking happy thoughts... thinking happy thoughts... oh, Christ, that's putrid!
These two love their mom, really, they do.
Royce: Say, honey, you look great, always do of course, hehe, but would it kill you to put in a little effort? You're looking a little unkempt.
Tally: How dare you insult a pregnant woman?!? I am trying my best! If that's not enough for you, well, I guess you can just get out!
Royce: Haha, isn't that funny? I could've sworn I just heard you say you were pregnant. I guess I'd better get my ears checked!
Tally: But sweetheart... I am pregnant! Aren't you so excited?!?
Royce: You can't be serious, woman! Isn't four little hellions enough for you? WHEN WILL IT EVER END?!?
Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder the same thing when you can't even bother to notice the ones you already have, even when they've been screaming at the top of their lungs throughout your entire conversation. Seriously, though, this kid is a handful, even if he had parents who actually cared.
His brother is always nice and calm, just sits and draws by himself for hours, completely oblivious to his parents' neglect.
But this little brat here isn't amused by mere crayons, oh no, he only has fun when he's making a mess by playing in puddles of water his brothers haven't yet detected with their super-sensitive cleaning radar.
And when they finally come around and mop away his fun times, he just woddles over and sticks his hands right inside the toilet. No wonder his parents are loathe to touch him with a ten-foot pole. The kid must be a living, breathing museum of bacteria. Ew.
Egads! I've been so consumed by his little brother's antics, I totally forgot Adam was due to become a teenager soon! Well, at least he seems to have had a nice life so far... though I can't imagine how when, as usual, his father is sitting back there totally unaware of the changes that have taken place behind him.
I sent him downtown to do a little shopping and instead he found this townie girl named Sheena, whose huge anime eyes and pouty lips I find rather adorable. Possible girlfriend for our budding romance Sim, perhaps?
Oh yeah, she's a keeper for sure.
Unfortunately, Adam is too busy fuming with rage over apparently nothing to approach her.
When I looked more closely, I saw that those flames were probably meant for his mother who he is somehow half-furious with. I'm not sure whether it's the fact that she can't seem to stop popping out more children to possibly dethrone him or the fact that she can't seem to learn good manners for her life or a little bit of both but, yes, it appears he's a little angry with her.
Finally, I got him to stop having a fit long enough to get chatting with Sheena. Then this other girl, Jubilee, decided to butt in and try to steal a little piece of the action too. Apparently, Adam's just so irresistible that every eligible teen girl in Riverblossom Hills is stalking him around the neighborhood, just hoping to become a notch in his bedpost. Girls, chillax! The guy's barely had time to adjust to being a desirable young teen yet!
In the end, he didn't get his first kiss from either of them and instead coaxed it out of this girl he brought home from school a couple days later, Zarah. He's a real player, this boy.
Oh, and it might also be important to note that while Adam was busy being a superstud, his mother gave birth to her latest and what will turn out to be her final child because... it is finally a girl! Her name is Amelia and I'm sure because of her status as the only female of the second generation she will be doted upon and spoiled excessively. And I'm also sure that I don't have much of a problem with this. Favoritism, you say? Why, I am guilty of no such thing!
That will be all.
