The Alpha Legacy! three.point.three (+ more Sims 3 spam)
Oh my God, you have no idea how excited I am to get to the more recent updates because the twins that are born in this one are seriously unbelievably freaking amazing, guys. I thought Bianca was my chosen one after she grew up into a child and though she is adorable, she kind of looks a lot like Amelia with red hair at times and the twins have a more balanced combination of Amelia and Alessa's features and FUCK THEY'RE JUST SO AWESOME. Okay. Anyway. I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's take a step a bit further back first.
Bandit is howling along to the radio! How adorable! Really, this picture exists for no other reason than to be cute. And to illustrate how much more lovable Bandit is than that damn Piggy.
Meanwhile, Amelia suddenly awakens one morning to find that she's grown a couple sizes larger overnight. Hmm, I wonder how that could have happened?...
But onto more important matters, like rock, paper, scissors which is very serious business indeed.
Bradley: DAMN IT! I LOST TO AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD! WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!?
But Bradley, look at your sister's precious little face. Now, tell me, how can you be angry at that? It's impossible, I tell you, impossible!
Where's Alessa, you may be asking. Well, here she is. It seems she's finally managed to get herself abducted. Girl, don't even play, you know you want it.
And fast forward a few hours to her return... Clearly, she's only freaking out because she has to leave the aliens behind, not because they took her in the first place.
Now, we're going to change gears completely and head over to Dollie and August's new place. I know what you're probably thinking. You're thinking that's Dollie and August in there breaking in their new bed for the first time but in that assumption, you would be wrong. So who is it then? Maybe it's perhaps Ben or Beckett with some pretty girl they've just met?...
No, of course it's not. It's actually Dollie CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND WITH THAT ASSHOLE FROM WORK! Because, apparently, she's suddenly so into him that she forgot she's already committed to someone else. Honestly, when I saw this happening, I tried to get August off the lot by sending him for a drive but as soon as he reached the car, they started woohooing and it was too late. Needless to say, August was heartbroken and Dollie was just overjoyed by the fact that she has fallen in love with someone other than her husband, the heartless bitch.
August: HOW DARE YOU SLEEP WITH ANOTHER MAN! AND IN THE BED WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SHARE NO LESS! YOU STUPID CHEATING HUSSY!
August: You! STUPID! CHEATING! HUSSY!
Oh my, he looks so fiendishly delighted to be slapping his wife around. Maybe he's been waiting for an opportunity like this to arise for a long time now. I didn't realize their marriage was so troubled!
Homewrecker Townie (Is it bad that I can't even remember his name? Actually, I do remember now. It's Harvey. But I'm just going to keep calling him Homewrecker because it's more fun.): Come on, buddy, calm down. Let's just talk this out civilly like adults. Can't we all just get along and be friends?
Dollie: Yes, honey, maybe you should listen to him. We can come to some sort of resolution that makes us all happy, I know we can!
August: Oh, okay, you want to talk it out?...
August: HAHAHA! THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD, YOU MORON! I JUST CAUGHT YOU SLEEPING WITH MY WIFE AND YOU EXPECT US ALL TO GET ALONG NOW???
August: Well, listen, you imbecile, if I ever catch you anywhere near this house again I am going to skin you alive, got it?
Dollie: ...Yeah, okay, I'm just going to go in the other room now while you two sort this out.
After giving the guy a few good pokes, August stormed off to go collect his thoughts with some moody, angst-ridden piano-banging.
In the end, he decided he just couldn't forgive Dollie's transgressions and gave her the boot. Dollie reacted by pretending to be all innocent, like she hadn't done anything wrong. Whatever, girl, you know you're totally in the wrong here. August was completely in love with you and you just threw it all away. How could you? That guy from work isn't even good-looking, I don't understand it!
When Beckett came home from work in the middle of this mess, he got really angry at his mom for cheating too.
Beckett: Damn it, you bastard, how could you ruin my parents' marriage like that?!?
Homewrecker: All in a day's work, my friend, all in a day's work. I've done my part, now I'm outta here.
Ben, meanwhile, couldn't really care less and just spent the entire night trying to block out his parents' arguing by playing his drums as loudly as possible.
A few days after Dollie left, I sent August out on the town thinking he probably wouldn't find anyone so soon but almost immediately after arriving, he found this girl who he has three bolts with. He only had two with Dollie so clearly this girl is a winner. Also, you might recognize her as one of the many townies who threw a fit over Amelia's poor customer service at her business. Her name is Alisa, which obviously means that she and August are destined to be together because she matches the alphabet naming scheme! Win/win situation, really.
They got on very well right away.
Then this other townie, Evan, who we saw briefly last update, decided to swoop in and try to steal her away but she wasn't having any of that crap.
She's certainly a girl who knows how to speak her mind when something's not going her away! I love it!
Back at the house, Dollie is getting attacked by a stray dog because, obviously, she sucks. How will her sons react to her unexpected visit? Will they shun her and side with their father?
Ben: Hiya, Mom! What's up? Wanna come in and eat some pizza with us? It won't be awkward at all, I swear!
Beckett: Dude, I can't believe you're betraying Dad like this. I'm not sharing my pizza with a traitor and a cheater so I guess you'll have to get your own.
Ben: Oh, Mom, I've missed you so much! You have no idea how terrible it is here! Dad's got this new girlfriend already and I can't stand her! Please, take me home with you! I don't even care if you haven't got a real house yet. JUST TAKE ME!
Well, I guess we know where Ben's loyalty lies. I'm so disappointed in him.
Beckett: And that's for inviting Mom over, you fucking bastard! How do you like that, huh? Bet you won't be doing it again.
In other news, things between August and Alisa are moving along very quickly. Very quickly.
Dollie is not happy about this. She comes by and knocks over their trashcan whenever she can. Though I don't think it's very smart of her to go into the house afterwards. It kind of ruins the whole concept.
August: LISTEN, BITCH, STOP KNOCKING OVER THE TRASHCAN! WE'VE GOT KIDS, YOU KNOW! CAN'T YOU JUST BEHAVE FOR THEM?
Dollie: ME BEHAVE? HOW ABOUT YOU? PARADING THAT YOUNG GIRLFRIEND OF YOURS AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE! SHE'S BARELY OLDER THAN YOUR SONS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Beckett: Oh God, Oh God, I can't watch this! My entire childhood is ruined! What has my life become?!?
August: AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T EVEN FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE ANYMORE! YOU'RE THE MOST DISGUSTING WOMAN I'VE EVER MET! NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!
Ben: Say, Dad, I know you're crazy about this new girl and all but is there any chance you and Mom will ever get back together?
August: Well, that's an interesting question, son. I'm going to have to say the answer is... no.
Ben: Fuck you then! I'm going to go live with Mom! I don't need to put up with this bullshit!
Gee, for someone who was supposedly kicked out, Dollie, you sure are around the house an awful lot.
Alisa: This was the bitch he was married to? Really? I could take her on and win any day of the week.
Dollie: Please, bitch, you've got nothing on me. I will win him back, just you wait and see.
Dollie: DAMN IT, JUST TAKE ME BACK! BEING HOMELESS SUCKS AND I'M WAY HOTTER THAN THAT WHORE YOU'RE FUCKING IN MY PLACE!
Alessa: Um... hey... pregnant over here... does anyone care? No, I didn't think so.
Well, I think Dollie officially does not have a chance anymore. August proposed to Alisa with record speed and asked her to move in with him immediately.
Here is her official shiny intro image! Isn't she the best? Honestly, I was upset about August and Dollie's break-up at first but now I'm just excited by the possibility of more babies with new genetics added into the mix. Yay for diversity even at the expense of happy marriages!
Dollie: Fuck that asshole. He'll regret this someday, I know he will, and then he'll come groveling back at my feet and I'll refuse him. We'll see how he likes the feeling when he's the one being rejected. Mwahahahaha!
Anyway. With all that drama, it's difficult to leave it behind and go back to the main house but it must be done. Because, look, it's time for Amelia to deliver!
As usual, it's an extremely painful experience and her spouse is of little help in comforting her.
When it's all over, they are blessed with TWO beautiful babies! Alessa's got Brendan and Amelia's got Bree. Here's hoping they grow up beautifully! And of course, you know, happily and everything.
Amelia's kind of obsessed with Brendan. It always seems to be him she's coddling when he's trying to sleep and force-feeding bottles when he just drank one an hour ago.
But that doesn't necessarily mean she's a brilliant mother.
Amelia: Here, honey, you're fed. Now just stay down here for a minute and be good for Mommy, okay?
Right because making out with your wife totally takes precedence over making sure your kid is taken care of. Makes complete sense. Also, I almost forgot that Alessa is about to pop out an alien baby herself. Damn. Too many babies. I'm not sure that's going to work out very well.
Bianca: Mom, Mom, look at my A+! I'm amazing! I'm a genius! Aren't you just so proud of me?
Bianca: Mom, wake up and acknowledge my brilliance, please! I won't leave you alone until you do!
Alessa: Damn it, can't I get one peaceful moment in this house? That's all I'm asking for, one peaceful moment. It's really not too much, is it?
Apparently it is too much because going into labor is about as far from peaceful as you can get.
Bianca: Seriously?!? We're having another baby! But you already ignore me enough as it is!
Bianca & Bradley: Why, goddamnit, WHHHHHHHYYYYYY?!?
BUT, GUYS, HOW CAN YOU HATE SOMETHING SO ADORABLE?!? Seriously, something about that green skin just makes alien babies so much cuter. LOOK AT THIS EPIC CUTENESS, Y'ALL, YOU CANNOT DENY IT! Oh yeah, also, his name is Baxter.
Bianca & Bradley: Okay, you're right, we can't resist. Woohoo, cute baby! So exciting!
Hmm... Amelia has been suspiciously absent to both of Alessa's deliveries. It's not like she has a real job that keeps her away from the house so apparently she just can't be bothered to show up. I guess she only wants to be around her wife when making out is involved but not when she's screaming at the top of her lungs. Girl, haven't you ever heard of taking the bad with the good? You can't just have one!
I've still been exploring the Sims 3 a bit and though there are things about it that amuse/entertain me, I think it's kind of deathly boring. First of all, one of my favorite things to do in Sims 2 is spy on townies at community lots and see what antics they get up to so I thought it would be even more awesome with the whole open neighborhood thing. Wrong. Basically, all they do is stand around like idiots or complain about how they're starving to death without doing anything to remedy it and so because of these two things, they never actually socialize at all. Which brings me to my second annoyance. IT TAKES SO FREAKING LONG FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING! Seriously, it takes hours to have a conversation that should take minutes because the Sims stand around for ages before actually starting to talk. It's like this with any kind of action and it is so aggravating. Thirdly, it's just tedious. I feel like all of my Sim's time is spent working or sleeping and she has hardly any time to do anything extra. Okay, so obviously judging from these pictures, she does have time for some other things. But still. Everything takes so incredibly long and they day seems so short. So I don't think I'm going to be switching permanently anytime soon. Maybe I'll still play a bit when I get bored with the legacy but I can't see myself getting really invested in it or anything. Anyway, the following mostly consists of Felicity's quest to hook a man. Enjoy.
The most attractive-looking man I've managed to find in town so far is Stiles McGraw so Felicity proceeded to get to know him and found out that he's single. Woohoo! I'm afraid they didn't get off on a very good foot though. In fact, he may think she's kind of crazy. And so does this other townie, Pauline Wan. Also, both of them happen to be Felicity's co-workers as well. Stiles is actually her boss. That's not too awkward, is it?
Stiles: Listen, whatever brand of crazy you're selling, I DO NOT WANT IT, alright?!?
Felicity took a moment to regroup with her guitar in the bathroom. Yeah, the bathroom. It's apparently the best spot for finding her muse or whatever. But more importantly, ISN'T THIS OUTFIT ADORABLE?!? Oh my God, I have an obsession with creating outfits. IT IS SO MUCH FUN, PEOPLE! It's the one feature of this game I'm completely, unequivocally in love with.
Anyway, after toning down the crazy a bit, she managed to get Stiles into bed. Well, that sure was quick.
THIS IS TRUE LOVE, EVERYBODY!!! It actually didn't blossom as quickly as it seems because I didn't take a thousand pictures like I usually do. This has all been over the course of a couple Sim weeks probably.
Random bathtub shot because I thought she looked cute. I have to admit, her face is growing on me. I think she's quite adorable now. That's one thing I do want to do more of in Sims 3: create Sims and see how attractive I can make them look despite the obvious limitations.
Anyway, engagement time already! Felicity decided to propose to Stiles in her gym clothes because she's special like that.
Stiles: OMG THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I CAN HARDLY EVEN BELIEVE IT!
So that's a yes then?
A couple days later, they threw their wedding party and Felicity invited all their co-workers because those are the only friends she has. Actually, they're the only friends she has time to make because at least her relationship with them goes up while she's at work without having to worry about all that annoying socializing.
Zelda: FUCK YES! I AM READY TO PARTAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
Sweetheart, I don't think this is the kind of party you think it is. By the way, this girl is crazier than Felicity if you can believe it. She spent the entire party acting like a total weirdo. It was rather amusing, actually, and kind of made me love her. But she already got herself married so I guess there's no way of working her in here.
Felicity decided to first serenade the guests with a song on her guitar. Again, in her gym clothes. I swear she was in her pretty dress when the party started! Anyway. Pauline is not sure if she wants. Stiles is jamming. Zelda is thinking about clowns. O... kay.
Stiles: Oh dear. How to tell my lady love that she is not quite as talented as she believes she is?...
Zelda: DUDE, COME ON, DON'T EVEN DENY IT! YOU KNOW THIS BITCH SUCKS!
Also, that girl in the background totally CRASHED THE PARTY. She was not invited at all. When Stiles moved in, I noticed that she actually lived with him. Hmm. Is this some sort of jealous stalker situation going on then?
Felicity: Hey dude. I like you. So let's get married now, yeah?
CUTE.
Match made in heaven, etc., etc.
Seriously, this girl is DERANGED. Or just really excited by weddings. She kept pulling this "OH ISN'T THIS SO LOVELY" expression the entire time. It was hilarious.
It took Felicity about three hours to get into bed even though she was exhausted because she kept admiring her (non-existent, wtf?!?) ring. Sigh. It was cute the first couple times but then it got real annoying.
Ooh, Stiles cleans up (or scruffs up, I guess I should say) quite well, doesn't he? I approve!
Why, Felicity, what on earth are you so excited about???
Yeah, that's right. She threw herself her own birthday party because no one else would. I'm not sure if that's amazing or totally lame. Either way, yeah, she grew up into an adult (she started out as young adult). She doesn't look any different now really. And I doubt she'll act much more maturely either. By the way, it turns out Stiles is halfway to becoming an elder, WTF?!? So they have to start having babies immediately. Well, I guess if it works like Sims 2, they can keep having them as long as Felicity's not an elder yet. But still. Time goes by really fast in this game because of how freaking little they get done in a day.
Bandit is howling along to the radio! How adorable! Really, this picture exists for no other reason than to be cute. And to illustrate how much more lovable Bandit is than that damn Piggy.
Meanwhile, Amelia suddenly awakens one morning to find that she's grown a couple sizes larger overnight. Hmm, I wonder how that could have happened?...
But onto more important matters, like rock, paper, scissors which is very serious business indeed.
Bradley: DAMN IT! I LOST TO AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD! WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!?
But Bradley, look at your sister's precious little face. Now, tell me, how can you be angry at that? It's impossible, I tell you, impossible!
Where's Alessa, you may be asking. Well, here she is. It seems she's finally managed to get herself abducted. Girl, don't even play, you know you want it.

Stiles: Oh dear. How to tell my lady love that she is not quite as talented as she believes she is?...
Zelda: DUDE, COME ON, DON'T EVEN DENY IT! YOU KNOW THIS BITCH SUCKS!
Also, that girl in the background totally CRASHED THE PARTY. She was not invited at all. When Stiles moved in, I noticed that she actually lived with him. Hmm. Is this some sort of jealous stalker situation going on then?
Felicity: Hey dude. I like you. So let's get married now, yeah?
CUTE.
Match made in heaven, etc., etc.
Seriously, this girl is DERANGED. Or just really excited by weddings. She kept pulling this "OH ISN'T THIS SO LOVELY" expression the entire time. It was hilarious.
It took Felicity about three hours to get into bed even though she was exhausted because she kept admiring her (non-existent, wtf?!?) ring. Sigh. It was cute the first couple times but then it got real annoying.
Ooh, Stiles cleans up (or scruffs up, I guess I should say) quite well, doesn't he? I approve!
Why, Felicity, what on earth are you so excited about???
Yeah, that's right. She threw herself her own birthday party because no one else would. I'm not sure if that's amazing or totally lame. Either way, yeah, she grew up into an adult (she started out as young adult). She doesn't look any different now really. And I doubt she'll act much more maturely either. By the way, it turns out Stiles is halfway to becoming an elder, WTF?!? So they have to start having babies immediately. Well, I guess if it works like Sims 2, they can keep having them as long as Felicity's not an elder yet. But still. Time goes by really fast in this game because of how freaking little they get done in a day.
