Monat: Juli 2016

Pauline does the test for university. Of course, she gets a full scholarship.

These three have to study a bit more. I don´t want to spend ages at university.

Liang and Kisa still seem to be very much in love. I plopped the whole extended family in a big house just across the street. Kym does a pool party, so Fiona, Nathan and Joe go, to check things out.

There even IS a pool!

But this is not a good way to celebrate a party.

Joe comes running. Weirdly enough, no one else does. Except our cat Susan, who isn´t even supposed to be there.

Nathan: I´m see-through! How extraordinaire!

 

 

 

He goes with dignity. Of course he does!

 

Joe is heartbroken. Poor guy.

 

Steven is angry.

And sad.

Everyone is sad.

Especially at the sink.

Fiona: Grampa always used to check it! How can we be sure now, the water isn´t running??

Uhm…

Joe now has to sleep alone.

Goodbye, Nathan. You are an awesome sim!

We start with the first autonomous repair I ever witnessed in the Sims. He´s not even handy! Well, it was the first and only time. But remarkable nonetheless.

Shaoran meets the love of his life in the bathroom, as is fitting in the Sims. Her name is Macella Gallgher-Sackholme, she is one of the sims I brought over from Dragon Valley. Her parents are named Gallgher-Mithrilen, so Aine Mithrillen´s genes have to be somewhere in this woman. She´s also SINGLE! Before Shaoran can change that, she runs off, but we will see her again.

Graduation for Fiona.

Fiona, Shaoran and Miles go to the library to do some skilling before enrolling to university. Kym and Teagan are there.

I patched the family tree with MC, so the game recognizes them as Fiona´s parents, but they are only „acquaintances“ yet. Fiona is no charmer – left on her own she repells people very quickly.

So we cheat with some handy elixier.

BAM! Instant friend!

Uhm, where´s Teagan?

Oh, with Miles, who accuses her of cheating.

Well, I wanted him to ask her to just be friends, but this works, too. Just walk away and nurse your broken heart…

He turns back and slaps her! Bad Miles!

(That is one interaction I really do not like. Especially if a male sim slaps a female.)

Luckily, Teagan isn´t someone, who just swallows that.

Teagan: Youuuuuuu…

Miles: What!?

Shaoran: Hey guys! Just coming through! Nice hat, Teagan!

Teagan: I´m gonna smash you!

Miles: *Gasp*

Smashing him she does!

Teagan: This will teach you!

I hope it will!

Snow Cones in Lunar Lakes are as good as in Dragon Valley and Lucky Palms.

I bought some of the magical items at the store.

 

The animations are pretty cool, but Fiona threw a script error every time she tried to use a spell. ´tis a pity, that.

Nathan transforms some more fish.

Nathan: I would rather play some computer.

After this four fishies, OK?

Nathan: Well, then.

Mostly butterflies. I was hoping for another death fish. Ah, well.

The three „heirs“ in a row.

Fiona: I want to marry some day.

Miles: It´s more likely that you get hit by a falling star!

Shaoran: Guys…

No love lost between Fiona and Miles. But they both like Shaoran.

Hot-headed Fiona and grumpy Miles really don´t get along.

This is the first fight of many.

Fiona totally kicks his butt.

He then sends her in time-out for fighting in public or something.

I call that petty.

Nicely chosen spot, Fiona.

Counting on your granddad to help you, huh?

Fiona: Sniffle

Nathan couldn´t reach her for some reason, but I sent someone else to let her of the hook, so she could go to school.

Okay, that toddler is not cute. Actually, she´s quite terrifying. Her name is Irene Su.

Kisa now has a job in sports for some reason. Here she fawns over some djinn, because of her supernatural-fan trait. You´re a fairy yourself, sweetie!

Kisa: But he´s a real life djinn!

Nathan does a show to get some new acquaintances.

Although the audience is not that great.

But he does his best, as always.

His lifebar is full. I worry about him.

Fiona has already rolled her lifetime wish: she wants to become the empress of evil. I never had a non-evil sim with this LTW before. Perhaps she wants to follow her mum´s footsteps. Or annoy her. I decided, she needs some methods of self-defense, if she wants the job.

Fiona: This is stupid!

Fiona: Ouch!

Perhaps the dummy doesn´t like to be called stupid.

Fiona: No one saw that!

Well, I did. But I won´t tell anyone. Well, until now, I guess.

Someone had a marshmallow in the inventory for some reason, so I bought a fire pit. This looks like Nathan is roasting Shaoran, but he´s just lighting the fire, while Shaoran is somehow depressed over the new object.

Nothing like roasting marshmallows in your bathing suit.

Miles needs to build up his athletic skill, so he jogs through some pretty part of Lunar lakes.

Steven still prefers to read after work instead of doing some sport.

This guy somehow is now a hit movie composer, which means he topped the musical career as well as the education career. He´s a fast learner. Must be all that reading.

I bought them the chicken coop, because I love the animations. Also, free eggs!

Pauline has a date with Jovan.

And it´s Fiona´s young adult birthday!

Teagan: Haha, you´re getting OLD!

Fiona: Stuff it, mum!

 

Wow, you certainly gained some weight in the front area.

Fiona: Shut up. This house is a mess.

She rolls neat.

Actually she´s a face clone of Teagan, but it doesn´t show so much because of her totally different complexion. Speaking of Teagan…

Miles! No! That´s how she got Kym!

Miles: I want to marry her!

Absolutely not!

Teagan: This house has the best parties!

Argh.

We moved to Lunar Lakes! It seems a bit barren but it grows on you. Well, on me.

Autonomous fotos. Which is awfully nice of them…

… because all of the old fotos went blank with the move. That makes me sad.

Testing the magical currents.

Pretty impressive, that.

Nathan´s ice octopus made the move. Fiona did a second one out of wood.

Hi, Liang! The woman is actually Jovan´s mum, Fiona O´Reilly. I grabbed a few families from Dragon Valley and dropped them into town.

The parks are a bit weird. I´m not sure, it should rain in there.

I might be slightly obsessed with this elderly couple.

 

They are just so cute!

Miles grows up the second day after the move.

He never went to school in Lunar Lakes, so the game doesn´t let me choose the trait. Well, I always roll anyway.

He´s now ambitous. Could be worse. Actually it´s really convinient, because he wants to become an astronaut. He will have to work a lot.

And wow, he´s seriously ripped.

Miles: So, now we have to go to university?

Shaoran: Yes! Can´t wait!

I forgot to mention Shaoran´s LTW. It´s major master, so he has to earn three degrees.

Star and Steven are back in the house. Steven seems happy.

 

Does this one look like a model student?

Well, actually… yes?

It´s graduation day for Miles. You are allowed to look a bit more enthusiastic, you know.

Yeah, let the graduate, who never drove a car before, transport the whole family. Great idea.

 

The rabbit holes are neat.

But a bit bad for photos. Everyone is standing in one spot.

Reasons to own Lunar Lakes.

Wow.

The ballet-thingies were on sale at the store.

Apropos, if anyone is interested, I uploaded Kisa, Pauline, Kym and Jovan O´Reilly to the exchange. No Teagan or Liang, ´cause they are EA-sims.

No one tried autonomously, so I forced Fiona to do some ballet.

Fiona: I look like a dork!

You do not! You are totally cute! Don´t you want to be a prima ballerina?

Fiona: You are totally sexist and I´m stopping now.

She did. I enrolled her for the school ballet.

Fiona: What??

Nathan repairs the hot tub with magic, because cool effects.

Joe reads a good night story to Fiona.

It doesn´t work.

Fiona: I´m tired, though.

Joe: I´m outta here.

Well, this is no ISBI. I can tell her to sleep.

Teagan breezes through the criminal career ranks.

Teagan: I´m awesome!

You are!

Chaos in the morning…

… birthdays in the evening.

Shaoran embraces his chinese heritage.

And he rolls childish.

The second cake is for Fiona.

Miles and his Dad Jovan. They kinda look very much alike and kinda not.

Fiona: I´m much more excited this time!

Wow. She´s pretty. I think.

And another equestrian.

Fiona: I want a horse.

We have no room, sorry.

Shaoran glitches a bit and celebrates a bit longer.

Pauline: I´m tired! Stop this!

Shaoran: Toooooooooooooot!

Or it´s his childish trait? I didn´t need to reset him, just cancel the action.

By the way, this is Kym.

This is also Kym.

And this!

But he doesn´t like his bot-form. As soon as he transforms, he rolls the wish to return to human form. I really can´t imagine, why.

I wanted to marry Kym and Teagan before they moved out, but Teagan wasn´t having it.

I will miss them! Teagan is a hoot, and Kym a really nice sim.

Fiona: Move them out already! Mom is blocking the sink!

Kym: Fiona! Don´t talk like that about your mother!

Teagan and Fiona are actually good friends, despite Teagan´s disliking children trait.

Nathan has a lot of time on his hands.

He makes this octopus… thing.

Pretty!

And of course, there´s always time for Joe.

A bit of dancing, before we are moving…

… because we have to leave Dragon Valley, due to massive lag.

Fiona: Is this person allowed to hold me?

Relax, sweetie, he´s a professional. He´s also your… no, you´re actually not related at all. But he´s a nice sim.

Fiona: Okay, then.

It´s Fiona´s birthday!

This girl, who wasn´t invited, is totally smitten with Kym. I think, it´s the stylist thing.

Teagan, for all her evil, mean-spirited way, loves him, too.

Fiona: Don´t wanna!

Sorry, you have to!

 

OK, I see your concern.

Fiona: My f**ing eyes are broken!

She rolls hot-headed.

Teagan continues to insult people. Even friendly Joe doesn´t like her.

I didn´t want another party, so Miles has to grow up on his own the following night.

He rolls irresistable. Combined with grumpy, this could be fun.

Miles: Heeeeeey, there!

Ugh. Restrain yourself, please.

And you two, don´t look at each other that way! You´re… second cousins. Just because the game can´t keep up after „cousin“, doesn´t mean you´re not related!

Well, it would be legal. But not what I have planned for this legacy.

Vi is being melodramatic.

Star and Steven live in Teagan´s house at the moment, together with her dog, which has the cutest ears ever.

The house is fun. Evil Teagan used to live there with her good sister Shannon.

I probably should have made those pictures at daytime.

There was a prom and Miles gained a romantic interest. I didn´t write down her name.

Anyway, they are having a date in the park.

Ghost stories. So romantic!

She´s cute!

Teagan gets arrested.

The best ghost stories are told by ghosts, though.

Right? Right.

Those two wanted to become bff. Which is totally better than something else.

WILL you stop with the staring!

Just a typical evening.

I changed Fiona´s hair. Actually, she now has different hair for each outfit.

Awesome Nathan.

I don´t know, what he´s reading, but it doesn´t seem inappropriate for a child at least.

 

Nighty night!

Nathan is still pretty fit.

Another case of successful nighttime story. I found out, that if the children ask autonomously, is mostly fails, but if I let the adults offer, it works. Even if that´s not his bed. Well.

Still don´t know, where Pauline got that outfit.

For all her problems with humans (well, sims), Teagan loves the cats.

That´s her work-out outfit, by the way. In her case, I didn´t change any of the outfits she had. She´s that kind of sim.

Loving grandpa.

 

Little Fiona really has a weird face. Still cute, though.

Shaoran invites one of his classmates to play. She arrives as a teen. They play tag anyway.

Teagan was retired and hadn´t fullfilled her lifetime wish, when she moved in. Now that she´s young again, I let her give it another shot.

Paul hangs around a lot more often than Violetta.

And he still loves to cook. I don´t mind.

Fiona never lacks attention.

But Shaoran has to grow up in the snow. I´m sorry!

He rolls bookworm. I´m afraid, he inherited his father´s slightly worried look.

Miles wished for a slumber party. I´ve never done that before, so…

It even works!

Kym joins out of solidarity.

(I wasn´t sure how this thing worked, so I provided sleeping bags. Turns out, the kids bring their own.)

Shaoran eats with chopsticks! I never noticed before. Bad simmer!

Fiona: Who are you?

Poor Kym is always all around town to improve the stylishness of the townies. Fiona is mostly cared for by his dads. And Teagan, if she decides to be bothered.

But his daughter doesn´t hold a grudge.

He teaches her to walk after this.

It´s snowflake day! Aw, Liang got old!

 

 

These two seem still to be very much in love.

Yep, pretty fit.

I read somewhere, that sims can wohoo in the box.

So…

It obviously wasn´t as much fun as the wardrobe.

This is a bad shot of Kym reaching his Lifetime wish. I wasn´t expecting it so soon – the stylist career kind of glitched out, he couldn´t take any photos and his portfolio was only at 57 % or something.

Anyway, he´s now a fashion phenomenon!

I always think, I have to work on that lighting. Then I forget.

Don´t drown, Nathan!

Of course, he doesn´t! He´s the best! I luv him!

Teagan complains about Miles. She likes to do that right within his earshot.

Joe: Don´t you think, you should be a bit nicer to the kids, now that you are getting one of your own?

Teagan: Huh?

Great place to play with your doll, Miles. At least it´s not directly in front of the toilet. Which was made by Violetta, by the way. I don´t know, if a toilet out of clay is a good idea, but someone upgraded it to selfcleaning. All of my sims get the „steel bladder“ LTR as soon as they can scrape the points together, so it doesn´t get much use anyway.

Teagan, don´t scare Nathan! He´s an old man!

Teagen: Your point?

She´s a hoot, really.

Oh, baby!

Teagan: It´s… it´s ALIVE!

Teagan: It´s making unpleasant noises. Can I eat it now?

NO, you cannot!

Little Fiona rolled artistic and clumsy. This is the generation of clumsiness.

Shaoran and Miles go trick-or-treating. They don´t bother to wear costumes.

And they get distracted fast.

Pauline presents: The flying noboo!

Now she reenacts the lion king.

They sorted themselves out. Phew.

Teagan: You sure, I can´t eat it? It looks tasty.

No.

Teagan: Pity. Hey, it´s not half bad, when it isn´t screaming.

Children hating, evil sim is always the first to tend to the baby´s needs. Go figure.

Miles skipps school and gets an earfull from Kym.

I didn´t realize until later, but the poor boy was glitching badly – he cancelled every action after a few seconds, so he couldn´t eat, sleep or really do anything at all. Reseting him didn´t work, so I moved him out in edit town (with some adult), moved him directly back again, and he was OK. Don´t know, what that was about.

Teagan has the closest relationship to her daughter.

Teagan: You made me do this!

I so totally didn´t direct you to do anything with Fiona!

Teagan: Whatever, it should better grow up now. My arms are getting tired.

Teagan: Oops, where did it go?

There she is! Um, I don´t know, if she´s cute or a bit scary looking. I go with cute, because toddlers are always cute.

And Kym has his adult birthday!

 

No midlife-crisis.

Kym: I´m too stylish for a midlife-crisis.

Indeed, you are.

But I´m not sure about Pauline. Although Jovan doesn´t seem to mind the trousers.

Fiona: Mmmmmmh….

You like Mr. Green, sweetie?

Fiona: Yum!

Fiona: Grrrrrrr!

She seems to think, she´s a werewolf. I need one of those…

Steven really doesn´t like living somewhere else. He stays till morning, playing the guitare. I send him home, don´t want him to freeze to death.
