Sebastian aged up on a day I had some serious lag in my game, so no party.

Growing up a bit more slowly than usual.

Uhm… you okay?

Sebastian: I´m Mister Fantastic. Cool!

Looks more like Indiana Jones to me.

Sebastian: Drat.

This is better. He rolled savvy sculptor.

Randolph is visiting.

 

Casual Saturday morning.

Here´s a better look at Sebastian. His eyes are a bit weird.

No lag, so Scott gets a party. Here we have Stephan, and an uninvited face one party crasher, I had a bit fun with (after I was finished, I discovered, that he will age up in one day, so sadly, it won´t stick).

Stephan is cute.

So is Kyle Mulder.

Blowing out the candles.

Scott: I´m so cool.

Sure.

He rolled family oriented.

We have enough drinks for everyone.

I totally forgot Scott´s glasses. Let´s just pretend, he´s wearing contacts.

And Crystal is still wearing her wedding gown. Ah, well.

The picture on the right is from Violetta, the one on the left from Mortimer. He definitly is more gloomy than our founder.

Arielle and Liam are performing for tips in the park, when David Ziggfield dies.

Arielle is sad, he was a good friend of her.

I´m also (still) sad, because of RL David dying.

Stoutland seems to try to interest his son in painting.

Stoutland: You really should try it!

Sebastian: Hahaha, no!

In retrospect, he really should have.

Catherine visits out of the blue.

 

Scott: This person seems familiar. Where have I seen those boobs this face before?

Crystal: That´s my MOM, you doofus!

Scott: My bad. Yes, I can see the resemblance.

(There is none. Crystal is a face clone of Isolde. Although she does have Cathy´s body structure.)

Catherine is chatting with everyone.

We also get an alien visitor but she can stay outside.

Bye, Cathy! You can vistit any time you like, I kind of miss you!

Starting with Randolph, who even as a ghost doesn´t do what everyone else does (namely, just sitting in the rocking chair).

But Joe is pretty adventurous today as well.

Hey Joe, where are you going?

Joe: ….

He poofed when the sun came up. Perhaps he was just going for a walk?

Double gig at the park.

This is Andrea, the husband of Palmira Medina, Teodor Medina´s daughter, with their son. So this child is Marina´s … nephew. Yes.

The boys play a lot together.

I´m always amazed, when this works.

Scott visits Stephan after school. The house has several tables, but they decide to do their homework in some corner at the floor. Well, so long as it does gets done…

It´s weekend and everyone wanted to go to the festival. So here we are.

Liam bores poor Benito to death.

Liam: Wasn´t me.

Was totally you.

Mortimer ages up to adult.

You don´t look any different.

Mortimer: But I´m old now.

Liam: You still look hot! Let´s kiss!

Mortimer: But I want cake!

Liam: Kissing now, cake later!

It was a nice party.

As soon as everyone is finally in bed, there is a burglary. Of course.

The cop beats up the burglar…

… but then she has to swoon about Liam, so the thief escapes.

Ah, well, nothing was stolen.

Liam is still playing favourites.

On the other hand, the boys are now too big to be picked up like that.

Liam rolled the midlife crisis wish to have a beard. Just no.

Liam: Where did it go??

It doesn´t suit you. Moving on.

Ah, no, Liam is good with all kids.

Cuties.

Should I give them more clothes? … Nah.

It´s Storm´s birthday party already.

 

 

She rolls brave.

Storm: I will bravely eat ALL of the cake.

No.

You see that?? The Rowan has finally spawned! Meaning, Rowan married a woman who is not an elder for a change. This is Stephan. He´s cute.

This one also. I didn´t write down his name, but I know his last name is Mulder, which makes him interesting enough.

Benito stays the night.

The three heirs of this generation in fierce battle.

The other two wander off, but Stoutland comes and watches his son play.

Liam is magically upgrading stuff to raise his skill level.

Storm found the rocking horse. She will ride it a lot during her childhood.

It´s raining, but we have plans for today. So I test this thingy.

Looks pretty cool.

 

Rain begone!

 

It worked! Now we will have a nice wedding on a community lot. Why did I decide to do that?

Of course, it got dark. And where´s the groom?

Oh, still at the home lot playing the guitar.

Now hurry!

Good thing, I bought him a fast car before he moved out.

Crystal: Where are you??

Benito: On my way!

So let´s do this. The guests are hungry, but at least no one has left yet.

 

 

 

So it was all romantic and stuff, and then something went wrong and now they are not married, even if the most certainly went through the ceremony. I guess it´s because the houshold is full. Bummer, though.

Well, at least the guests had fun.

Last time little Storm was born. Let´s age her up!

Liam: Why am I holding the baby?

No clue.

Liam: I´m holding her again.

Yeah, he seems to snatch her up a lot. Perhaps because he wanted a girl when he was pregnant. He also cares for the boys, but I think, Storm is his favourite.

First time to really use that toddler playpen. The boys are having a lot of fun and are best friends already.

It´s snowflake day!

Miles seems to have been naughty. He got coal.

Slightly out of synch peek-a-boo.

Scott: Where you looking?

Storm: Me no longer play wiv you.

Arielle forgot her clothes after showering. Must be cold.

Arielle: Nah, it´s refreshing.

Whatever you say. Please go inside before the paper child comes.

I often buy things as the daily deal and then use them much later. With so many artistic sims the glass blowing station seems like a good idea.

Arielle is a good mum.

Stoutland made and tested the panther perfum, but only got sick.

I also ploppped down grandpa´s grove.

Pretty!

The family doesn´t own the lot, but can do a hayride anyway.

Stoutland seems to be having fun.

Mortimer and Liam discuss Mort´s career.

I changed his lifetime wish from designer to physical perfection with his points shortly after this. The career is buggy and with two other high maintainance careers (Liam´s and Arielle´s) it just got too much. Mortimer spends most of his time training the martial arts anyway.

Speaking of Arielle´s career… This looks awesome!

Liam already has his adult birthday.

Liam: Oh, boy! How exciting!

Liam: I´m old. This hair is crap. And I don´t like this shirt.

Can someone please NOT have a midlife crisis?

There. Changed your hair back and got rid of the shirt altogether. You look pretty fit, I have to say. Nice abs.

Liam: I don´t know…

Your boyfriend seems to like it.

Liam: Oh, well, he must be right.

Only two toddlers in the playpen. Meh.

But we can take turns.

Crystal is on her way to max the mixing skill.

Fullmoon toddler explosion!

He rolls dog person.

Sebastian: I want a dog.

Sorry, no room. Go play with the cats.

Sebastian: OK.

Scott gets a party. I do parties or not like the mood strikes.

 

Only a small gathering this time.

Scott: Meep.

He rolls virtuoso.

Liam: Time to go to bed. I´m already seeing deers.

Deer: Stupid human! I AM here!

Deer: He closed the door! They all shall feel my wrath!

*Teleports away*

Well, that was spooky.

There´s a lot of snow this winter.

Sebastian has his birthday. He´s looking fierce!

I moved Benito in for a few days to make things easier. He hates the outdoors, is unlucky, irresistable, a schmoozer and an angler.

I would have changed in something else, but what do I know?

Benito is delighted, anyway.

 

A bit later Crystal has to dash to the bathroom.

Scott is very in demand.

But Sebastian also gets attention.

Here we have toddler Scott.

And the next noboo in the making.

Mortimer is still designing houses.

Kisa likes his work.

Double skilling.

Double drawing. Painting. Whatever.

Crystal´s back is hurting, so the massage table comes in handy.

I just don´t know, if she should have been lying on that belly that way.

Crystal: No worries.

Crystal is hogging Scott, while at the same time phoning Benito, who already moved out again. The poor little guy is hungry.

Mortimer: Can that woman let go of my son, so that I can feed him?? 

Mortimer: Mine!

Grumpy dad loves his son.

Sebastian is a witch like his dad Stoutland, rather than a mermaid like his mom. I´m kind of glad, mermaids are exhausting. But he got the fish pattern anyway.

Scott is a normal sim, by the way.

And the next one!

There´s still time to catch some snowflakes before going to the hospital.

 

And we have a girl. Storm rolled loner and I gave her loves the cold, just because.

Benito came to the hospital and Chrystal invites him to stay the night. He´s a nice guy.

We start with an excelent example of sim parenting. The little girl is starving on the floor, while her parents are enjoying some lunch. Liam can´t give her a bottle, because he „doesn´t know the family good enough“.

Some three or four hours later.

Arielle has a midlife crisis.

Arielle: Are those wrinkels?

No, sweetie, you look fine.

But we have to start the new generation, so Marina, Kisa and Teodor move out.

Arielle has a sing-a-gram for Miles, but has to make a detour to the toilet.

She doesn´t bother to put on her singer outfit after that.

Miles is HUNGRY, but I stuffed his inventory with plasma fruits, before he moved out.

Arielle knows him good enough to give him a new one.

Her pregnancy outfit is actually pretty colour coordinated.

Feeling sick?

Liam: MPFH!

Well, it´s his sleep wear.

Mortimer starts his designer career. It´s easy enough, but it´s already bugging out on me – he waits for hours for the customers.

I never had two pregnant sims at the same time. I thought, this would be funny.

 

Arielle is farther along, though.

Liam: Oh, no, you are in labour!

Arielle: But I´m so hungry!

Liam: Fear not, I´ll summon an ambulance!

Mortimer: Oh, no, you are in labour!

Mortimer: Don´t really care, let´s wohoo with my boyfriend.

Liam: Forget the ambulance, that´s a much better idea. Hey, I´m pregnant!

Stoutland: Is something the matter, dear?

Arielle: I would prefer to have a show right now.

Stoutland: Oh, no, you are in labour!

Liam & Mortimer: *smooching*

Ariella: I REALLY would prefer to have a show right now.

It´s a boy!

Little Sebastian loves the cold and is friendly.

Liam: I feel funny.

Well, you look funny.

Liam: Geez, thanks. You COULD give us a better pregnancy outfit, you know.

Nope, too funny.

Liam: Ouch. I think the food was bad.

Benito (what´s he doing here, anyway?): Oh, no, you are in labour!

Arielle: Oh, no, you are in labour!

Liam: This shit is really tiring.

And another boy! Little Scott rolled neurotic and friendly.

It´s kind of neat to have Kisa back in the house – she brakes space rocks on a regular basis.

Crystal wanted to learn riding, so I let her take lessons. I found a nice outfit for her at the store. I wanted to give it to her as a teen, but it´s only for young adults and adults. Why?? It would be perfect for teenagers!

Liam is still sad about his mom´s death. Speaking of which, I fenced in the cow plant, because I didn´t want any more casualties, but there´s still Connie´s milk, so I wanted to keep the plant, until I decided, who should drink it.

Arille is near her adult birthday but still doesn´t have a partner. So I downloaded one for her.

Stoutland Miller from the Moustachy ISBI (it´s on hiatius, but it´s awesome). He´s artistic, a couch potato, loves the cold, is a hopeless romantic and a dog person. And he has the cutest ears ever.

Turns out, his downloaded form is one day from adult. I guess, he can drink the milk then.

 

I sold the cow plant after this.

Connie´s ghost is always hungry and makes food. I´m not complaining.

This is looking good. (I mean, they have the same hair. It´s destiny.)

Arielle and Stoutland hearfart each other twice – when I added him to the household, and when they first talked to each other. Nice.

So I send them on a date.

 

Stoutland wants a face painting but it turns out bad.

Arielle cheers him up.

 

One couple done.

The second one gets to tie the knot in their underwear in the kitchen. That´s much more Sims, anyway.

Crystal: I need a drink.

 

 

For some reason I decided to do this with all of them at once, which resulted in some mad back and forth zooming. But all is well.

Liam and Mortimer have some difficulties finding a bed to consume their relationship, though.

You know, we have three double-beds.

Liam: But I want this one!

Kisa: Let´s show these noobs, how it´s done!

Teodor: Yes!

Mortimer: I refuse to look!

Back to performing for tips. Liam always sets himself on fire with this trick.

Randolph is pretty active, even as a ghost. The other ones normally just sit in one of the rocking chairs. He will stay at the main house, ´cause I love him.

It´s Arielle´s adult birthday.

Midlife crisis.

The last picture of Beverly, she died shortly after the party.

Someone brought grilled cheese, Liam´s favourite. For some reason, no one in the house can make it.

Marina will also age up soon.

I let her play with the train at the library.

 

She now looks best in short hair. I changed her face a bit – she inherited Kisa´s face one, so I made her look more like her dad.

Liam: My dad died. I don´t want to get up.

Yes, it´s sad. But I want you to meet someone in the living room.

So, I was playing another save in Sunset Valley, and stumbled across Mortimer Goth. He somehow escaped my attention until now, but he definitely has it now. He´s one of the very few sims, that actually let me do a double take.

So I kidnapped him and added him to the household. First thing he did, was getting eaten by the cow plant. Seriously. I plopped him down, got distracted and next thing I see is him being devoured. I was so flabbergasted, I didn´t even take pictures. Luckily, the plant spat him out again.

So here he is arguing with Connie. This incarnation of Mortimer is grumpy, artistic and ambitious, and also disciplined and eccentric. His lifetime wish is home design hotshot.

Mh-mh, looking good.

Can someone feed the cow plant before any more accidents happen?

Still sad.

 

It´s Marina´s birthday.

Such a cutie.

 

Awww, how nice! But I kind of downloaded it from modthesims as a joke.

That´s better. Did I ever mention her traits? She´s good, a light sleeper and now rolled photographer´s eye. Need to get her a camera.

Mary and Crystal seem to be slightly nervous about a very hungry Catherine.

Speaking of Mary, there´s still that picture. Will she finish it??

Nope.

Arielle meets Rowan, but they don´t seem to be attracted to each other. He´s married again to an old lady, anyway.

Crystal becomes a young adult.

She rolls charismatic. Her lifetime wish is renaissance sim, so she has to reach level 10 at three different skills.

Hi, Randolph!

Teodor will become an elder soon. I don´t want Kisa to lose yet another husband, so he gets a present.

 

He gets the bumblebee wings! They suit him in a weird way, so he will keep them.

Crystal has her graduation.

For some reason they don´t go home.

 

Perhaps they know, there´s a horse in the living room. It just runs throught the wall, though.

Liam has a show. Arielle helps him out.

I totally ship those two. Not sure, if they ship each other.

Marina accompanies Desirae (daughter of David and Alia) Ziggfield home after school. Well, Marina goes to her home. Desirae is busy fainting. I don´t even know, who died.

She makes it home and they do homework together, chaperoned by Alia.

And then Connie commited suicide. I don´t know, how to explain it any other way. I checked on her only moments earlier, and all her needs were green, she wasn´t even slightly hungry.

But she grabs for the cake anyway.

 

Well, that´s more interesting than dying of old age, I guess.

 

And she´s totally okay with it.

Her family not so much.

Grimmy stays to feed the fish.

Mortimer wants him gone, though.

 

Goodbye, Connie. You are a mean sim, but a charming one.

Arielle has a sing-a-gram at Catherine´s and Isolde´s house. Her bubble machine sets her on fire. How on earth is this even possible?

Catherine is already asleep and Isolde decides to join her, instead of putting Arielle out.

Luckily she reaches the shower in time. It puts out the fire, but leaves her very dehydrated for some reason, so she takes a second shower.

This is apparently totally inappropriate.

Catherine: You… you woke me up with your… shower!

Isolde: I´m very displeased with this.

Arielle leaves as fast as she can.

Marina is still cute.

Her parents amuse themselves with the massage table.

Theo: Um… can you feel your feet, dear?

Kisa: Yes, why?

Theo: No reason.

I got the pop-up, that Crystal´s romantic interest from prom (which happened at some point) hooked up with her best friend. We can´t have that! So they meet at the local gambling parlour.

He´s a face one, so I make him a bit more interesting.

He happily brakes up with his girlfriend.

Now we have to catch him.

His name is Benito Bräutigam, by the way. (Bräutigam means groom).

Inside is a very hungry Gabby, dancing with some townie. I would be very careful, young man.

Benito dodges Crystal´s first kiss attempt! Trying to escape, are you?

Benito: Hey, just because I broke up with my girlfriend for you, doesn´t mean you can just kiss me!

Aw, her face!

Let´s try this again.

Much better.

Gotcha!

Crystal: Boyfriend achieved! Whoooo!

I sent Kisa over at some point, because it was getting really late.

She has a lot of fun plundering the claw machine.

Liam still likes doing ballet.

He often has a double gig with Arielle.

This is the werewolf lady who I considered as a spouse for Liam. Her little daughter is a werewolf, too, so that´s alright.

I thought it wouldn´t be fair, if Crystal´s relationship with her formerly best friend (Ziyi Yuan, originally from China), would stay in the red, just because of a story progression whim. So she brings a bottle of potent friendship elixier.

Ziyi still thinks, Crystal´s mum is a llama.

She deserves a new outfit for that.

I probably should have waited two days for that betrayed moodlet to disappear.

Then the camera suddenly zooms home.

 

 

 

Connie is heartbroken. I think, I am, too.

Goodbye, Randolph, you magical insane sim!

This was Liam.

Crystal does her homework with the help of the chickens.

Isolde reached her lifetimewish. I thought, she would use the other door.

So, her and Catherine moved out and Kisa, Theodor and Marina Dust-Medina moved in. I´m not letting story progression raise this child.

She´s got Jaron´s hair! And funnily enough, the wing colour he first had, before I changed it.

I changed her´s too, because I think the yellow clashes a bit with everything.

Randolph starts the training.

Liam has his first show.

It is pretty terrible.

It also doesn´t help, that some woman goes into labour.

Randolph: No one panic, I´m calling an ambulance.

(Wouldn´t it be cool, if that was an option?)

It´s nice, to have Kisa back in the house.

Their wing shape is different. Doesn´t make any sense, but whatever.

This is Theodor Medina. I brought him over from Isla Paradiso with his daughter, and shortly after he married Kisa. He´s a nice guy, overemotional, natural cook, good, neat and a computer whiz.

Marina: Zey give me stick.

Marina: Yum!

Marina: IZ MAKING SOUND!

I never saw that startled face before. This is beyond cute.

Randolph is pretty good with the hacky sack. He played with it all his life.

Liam spends most of his days performing for tips at the festival. When he´s finished, he amuses himself.

I got the notification, that this woman would die soon. Then Arielle got a sing-a-gram order to cheer her up, because she´s depressed. I guess, I would be depressed, too, if some program wanted to kill me.

She died that night. But she looks really happy in this picture. It´s kind of bittersweet, bathroom and all.

We still have the cowplant.

Liam wished for a firepit.

This shows why you shouldn´t fullfill all of your daredevil sim´s wishes.

Liam: Heheheh. FIRE.

Connie decides on her own, to give her husband a heat of the moment kiss.

He doesn´t like that.

(I learned, that insane sims often don´t.)

Um, guys?

Randolph worries about their relationship. So Connie kisses him again. And repeat.

That was all autonomous. Their relationship is nearly in the red now. That makes me sad.

Everyone loves the toddler.

Arielle had a bit too much sun.

I bought the promenade ages ago, but somehow the lot didn´t show up in my library. I finally got it to work (here´s a link for this problem).

Liam and Randolph are the lucky ones to test it.

They look thrilled.

L+R: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Liam wanders off after that, but Randolph has a second go.

I´m pretty sure, this works only in the sims.

 

Randolph: Argh! Shark! There was a shark!

Yes, isn´t it fun?

Randolph: I wanna go home.

OK, you can try the other things I purchased while de- and reinstalling the promenade.

Randolph: That´s much more fun!

In the end I only kept the massage table.

Everyone just got bad moodlets from this thing.

Awwwww.

I let them dance together after that. Dancing makes everything better.
