97 Cute elder wedding

screenshot-x2969

Little Liam is a witch.

screenshot-x2971

I´ve never seen Randolph do that. But he never played much with the toys from the chest, if I remember correctly.

screenshot-x2973

Connie has her elder birthday.

screenshot-x2977

Looking good!

screenshot-x2979

Wigbald and Beverly prefer to play in the sprinklers and then eat each other instead of cake.

screenshot-x2980

Isolde´s sister Mary is artistic – she starts a nice picure on the drawing table. Finish it, please?

Mary: Mh-mh.

screenshot-x2981

Mary: Ooooh, kitten!

No, no, no, you are not finished yet!

screenshot-x2983

Mary: Make me!

Don´t give me that Jeannie crap! I can add you to the household and really make you, any time!

Mary: Meh.

Then she leaves. There´s no one really drawing at the moment, so the picture can wait until the next party.

screenshot-x2984

No party for Randolph, though. I kinda forgot.

screenshot-x2985

Randolph: Ah, that´s alright. Look, still five fingers!

That´s nice.

screenshot-x2986

Miles only works on mondays and didn´t sleep enough before his insane-hours-shift. He comes home and doesn´t make it to the bed.

screenshot-x2987

Randolph and Connie visit the resort. For one reason or the other, Randoph decides to fire blast this random woman.

screenshot-x2988

RW: Aaah! You are so hot!

Randolph: No, you are hot. Literally.

screenshot-x2989

I make him kill the fire with an ice blast.

screenshot-x2990

I thought, it would be a nice idea for those two to have a wedding at the resort. It got dark somehow.

screenshot-x2991

They have one of the most random wedding audiences I´ve ever seen. They didn´t bother with a formal outfit themselves.

screenshot-x2992

Cute elder couple is cute.

screenshot-x2994

 

screenshot-x2996

 

screenshot-x2997

The wohoo in that tower thingie.

screenshot-x2998

And spend the rest of their time at the resort smooching each other.

Not sims

vollbildaufzeichnung-29-11-2016-205923

This is nothing sim related, apart from putting my simself in my place, because I do not want to show my face on the internet, and she´s prettier than me. I downloaded gimp and spent an hour of confused clicking creating this masterpiece. The picure itself is crap, because the lighting was really bad. And real me wasn´t gazing adoringly at Dan´s chin.

Anyway.

This sunday I went to Berlin to watch THE AMAZING TOUR IS NOT ON FIRE which was created by the youtubers Dan and Phil. It was amazing and fun, and I would totally do it again, even if the majority of the audience were screaming teenagers and I´m 39. But I figure, if I´m playing the sims, I can also watch cute british youtubers. Right? Right.

That´s all.

96 The zombie liked the party

screenshot-x2935

Last time Fiona died. The only one who has the mourning moodlet, is Randolph, even though the whole family saw her die.

screenshot-x2936

Randolph: I wish, mom could have seen her grandchild.

Yes, I´m sorry about that.

screenshot-x2937

Hi, Kisa! Looking good!

screenshot-x2938

Another one in mourning. You know, it would help, if you actually married someone not-elder stage.

Rowan: *sob*

screenshot-x2939

A successful good-night story. That´s all.

Never mind Catherine wearing her outerwear.

screenshot-x2940

Isla Paradiso is so pretty.

screenshot-x2941

Why are my evil sims always so good with children?

screenshot-x2942

Connie: You have to corrupt them early.

Sure.

screenshot-x2944

Birthday for little Liam.

screenshot-x2946

I´m sure, the blond is from his great-granddad. Yes.

screenshot-x2947

Another werwolf-wannabe. I still don´t have one.

screenshot-x2948

Matteo Torres seems to have issues with the house.

screenshot-x2949

But is comforted by cake.

Catherine: Cake is good for the soul.

I´m totally with you.

screenshot-x2950

While waiting in line to wash his plate, Matteo turns into a zombie.

Randolph: *Gasp*

Relax, he won´t do anything.

Randolph: No! I think Cathy´s arm needs to be amputated!

screenshot-x2951

He washed his plate, then shuffled away before Randolph could shoot him with the sunlight charm. At least he had fun.

screenshot-x2952

Hi, Beverly!

screenshot-x2953

Full moon is hard for my little coward Violetta.

screenshot-x2954

Hey, you´re up again. We´ve come a long way, haven´t we?

screenshot-x2955

Violetta: Indeed. Is this Isla Paradiso?

Yes!

Violetta: Beware the lag.

Too late for that.

screenshot-x2957

Liam is learning all his toddler skills.

screenshot-x2956

He´s a studious one.

screenshot-x2959

Randolph has nearly reached his Lifetimewish.

Random Lady: What have you done to me? You son of a Llama!

screenshot-x2960

RL: Goodbye, cruel world!

screenshot-x2961

RL: Revenge!

screenshot-x2962

RL: … just one moment… *huff*

screenshot-x2963

RL: I hate you! (But you are kinda cute)!

Randolph: Same!

He heals her, but I somehow didn´t take a photo of that.

screenshot-x2964

Instead his next victim!

screenshot-x2965

 

screenshot-x2966

And healing!

screenshot-x2967

And ka-ching! Finally!

95 Life and death

screenshot-x2898

Arielle grows up without a party. She rolls eco-friendly, which kind of fits.

screenshot-x2899

And her first thought as a child is to go swimming. Her scales are blue now for some reason.

screenshot-x2904

The school is on the main island. Children get on the bus, but then they kind of teleport to the school. On the way home, they take a taxi boat.

screenshot-x2906

This is Palmira Medina. She looks fierce.

screenshot-2848

Beverly and Wigbald moved out. I have to say, mermaids are a total pain in the behind. Their needs drop faster than anyone elses, they are always hungry and dehydrated, even kelp fills up only half of the hunger bar. (Wheras slob Beverly licking a plate makes it full. I call that really bad programming, but, well, sims.) They insist on swimming EVERYWHERE, and even when I learned how to make them use a boat (by clicking on the water near the nearest beach to the destination and choosing `boat here´), it´s just annoying. They are beautiful to watch, but are just too high maintenance for me to enjoy.

screenshot-x2900

Connie moved in.

screenshot-x2901

She has a pretty smile. Both her and Randolph are near elder stage now, so…

screenshot-x2905

 

screenshot-x2907

This is the most hideous pregnancy outfit so far. I think, the game mixed up her work outfit with some random pregnancy clothes.

screenshot-x2908

That´s her everyday. Much better.

screenshot-x2902

Every now and then a family member tries to charm the snake. Gabby is pretty good.

screenshot-x2903

Isolde eats her dinner on the toilet. Miles has to vomit, because he ate something bad, but he patiently waits, until she´s done. Why she chose the toilet over the many, many chairs in the house is anyones guess.

screenshot-x2910

Training someone on the ballet bar looks weird.

screenshot-x2911

I got the notification that Fiona will die soon, so Randolph invites her over. She´s civil to Miles, for a change.

screenshot-x2912

Pretty Fiona. I will miss you!

screenshot-x2914

And she always loved her only child.

screenshot-x2917

I then let my sims run wild and just watched.

screenshot-x2918

Something really weird is happening. One sim after another comes and joins a circle around Fiona. They tend to do that around Miles because he´s irresistable, but he´s not part of the discussion yet.

screenshot-x2920

There he is.

screenshot-x2921

Now Connie, who starts a fight.

screenshot-x2922

And Arielle.

screenshot-x2923

The only one missing is Isolde, and she´s at work.

screenshot-x2924

It goes on until the evening.

screenshot-x2925

Then Fiona complains, that she´s hungry, downs three drinks from the bar and dies.

screenshot-x2926

 

screenshot-x2927

Grim has routing issues again and so Fiona is just hovering around for a while.

screenshot-x2928

But I don´t think, she would have begged for her life.

screenshot-x2929

Grimmy stays around for a bit.

screenshot-x2930

The next morning it is time for giving birth.

screenshot-x2931

You alright, Connie?

Connie: Just thinking.

screenshot-x2932

Connie: I´m having so much fun! Not!

screenshot-x2933

And here we have little Liam. He rolls absent-minded and clumsy. Poor guy.

screenshot-t10

Goodbye Fiona. You get two pictures, because I couldn´t decide.

screenshot-t11

94 Mermaid toddler

screenshot-x2848

Last time Catherine and Isolde and Beverly and Wigbald got married.

screenshot-x2845

Looks like one of the couples had a bit too much fun in their wedding night.

Beverly: Totally not your business. Ugh.

screenshot-x2846

Beverly then decides to rest a bit. Normally my pregnant sims make a beeline for the rocking chair. That´s actually an acturate sign that they are pregnant, even if there were no chimes.

Beverly: I´m not like everybody else.

Indeed, you are not.

screenshot-x2847

Wigbald really loves the ballet bar. He still looks ridiculous. Perhaps it´s the clothes.

screenshot-x2849

Beverly: Oh, hey, I´m pregnant!

Wigbald: May I touch your belly?

screenshot-x2850

Wigbald explores some of the underwater sites.

screenshot-x2851

They look beautiful, but for some reason most of my pictures come out blurry.

screenshot-x2852

I´m so jealous right now.

screenshot-x2853

Really.

In the backround you can see the mist of the undiscovered islands. In the tips for making Isla Paradiso run better, it was suggested to cheat them in the open, but I wanted to try to do the quest.

screenshot-x2854

This is on free will, even though they hate each other.

Randolph: I luv babies!

Beverly: Must be hormones.

screenshot-x2855

Baby incoming!

screenshot-x2856

It´s a girl. I just had to call her Arielle.

She rolls neurotic and clumsy.

screenshot-x2859

Sim babies are boring, on to the cake!

Connie: Randolph, dear, can you restrain yourself a bit in public?

screenshot-x2862

She´s got her mum´s hair, and her dad´s strong jaw. Ain´t she cute?

screenshot-x2863

Kym showed up again in costume. Don´t know, what´s up with that.

screenshot-x2864

Fiona actually doesn´t live in the house anymore – she suddenly rolled the wish to move in with Eddy, which I thought was pretty cute. And I could use the space, so…

screenshot-x2866

Playing in ocean mermaid toddler spam.

screenshot-x2868

 

screenshot-x2869

 

screenshot-x2870

 

screenshot-x2871

Her dad wanted to teach her to walk.

screenshot-x2872

I like Wigbald. He´s a very restrained diva and get´s along with pretty much everyone.

screenshot-x2874

Learning to talk isn´t such a success.

screenshot-x2875

Randolph helps out.

screenshot-x2876

Doesn´t look much better.

screenshot-x2878

I bought Aurora Skies.

screenshot-x2879

I don´t know, if Arielle is particulary stubborn, or if it is a glitch.

screenshot-x2880

She just sits there, doing nothing. I tested it in another game, and the toddlers actually learned something.

screenshot-x2881

Randolph rescues a kitten, that is stuck up some stairs.

screenshot-x2882

Of course, the counter for his LTW of mystic healer reset with the move. So we start again.

Hi, Fiona!

screenshot-x2883

 

screenshot-x2885

Kisa is there, as well.

screenshot-x2886

One island was discovered. It wasn´t very exciting, so I cheated the others out of the mist. The save is already getting wonky, and it helped a bit.

screenshot-x2887

She talks!

screenshot-x2888

Randolph, where are you looking? You don´t even like her!

Randolph: Doesn´t mean, I can´t appreciate a fine…

Stop right there!

screenshot-x2890

I think, this is the bachelor party for Randolph.

screenshot-x2891

Eddy: Fi, can we go home? There are so many people here.

Fiona: Not before I had some drinks. We don´t have a bar at home.

screenshot-x2892

Ah, yes. The dancers chose the smallest room of the house. The bachelor went to bed.

screenshot-x2894

This is the walking stick, Paul brought with him, when he moved in. It was inherited from inventory to inventory, the last one to use it was Miles. It totally glitched out of control and is now fused to the kitchen floor.

screenshot-x2895

Randolph works for his LTW by throwing random elixirs at random people and than healing them.

screenshot-x2896

It´s all for the greater good. Or something.

screenshot-x2897

Afterwards, the people feel much better. Really.

93 Double wedding

screenshot-x2820

So my mermaids swim EVERYWHERE. This is kind of annoying.

screenshot-x2819

Gabby bakes a plasma fruit pie, which actually sates her thirst. Now I only have to prevent the non-vampires to eat it.

screenshot-x2821

Fiona really likes to beat people up. This time it´s Isolde.

screenshot-x2822

Catherine has a great idea to cheer her up.

screenshot-x2823

Isolde: What are you doing down there?

Catherine: I think, I saw a ring.

Isolde: What?

screenshot-x2824

Catherine: Here it is!

Isolde: Iiiiek!

screenshot-x2825

Catherine: If it fits, you´ve got to marry me!

Isolde: Okay!

screenshot-x2826

The ring seems to fit.

screenshot-x2827

New wedding cake!

screenshot-x2828

Isolde: Do you think, they´ll ever all find their seats?

Catherine: No, let´s just start!

screenshot-x2830

 

screenshot-x2831

 

screenshot-x2832

Gabby, do you have to ruin the nice shot?

Gabby: But I hate this person I never met before! Booo!

screenshot-x2834

No one gets stuck clapping. Yay!

screenshot-x2836

Cake!

screenshot-x2837

For one reason or other, Kym decided to come in his simbot outfit.

Kym: All my suits are in the laundry.

Sure.

screenshot-x2838

I actually didn´t plan a double wedding, but there was a second wedding cake somehow, that someone must have made while I wasn´t looking. Those two weren´t to tired, so I thought, why not.

screenshot-x2840

 

screenshot-x2842

Most of the guests are gone, but the family do their best. And there´s always room for more cake.

screenshot-x2844

92 Isla Paradiso

screenshot-x2770

So we left the laggy mess of Lunar Lakes (the file had gotten too big, otherwise it´s a really stable world) and arrived in another world which is laggy as a rule: Isla Paradiso! I tried making it run smoother following this guide. It worked – for a while.

screenshot-x2771

Randolph goes exploring. Apparantly, you CAN dragon and boat.

screenshot-x2772

It´s a real shame that Isla Paradiso is so messed up. It´s beautiful.

screenshot-x2774

 

screenshot-x2773

The photos all went blank again in the move. Gabby is working on replacements.

screenshot-x2775

Aaand there´s already a car stuck in front of the house. Great.

screenshot-x2776

The graves are all fine. I bought the lot next door and set them all up.

screenshot-x2777

They can use the adorable little house as well.

screenshot-x2778

Connie came as well.

screenshot-x2779

I got a bit confused when I set their relationship with mastercontroler, so they are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, but engaged. Ah, well.

screenshot-x2780

This hair is better.

screenshot-x2782

I bulldozed one of the resorts, but Randolph checks out the other one.

screenshot-x2783

Of course he has to try some drinks.

screenshot-x2784

Barkeeper: Um, dude, why´re you wearing a suit in the pool?

Randolph: This is a bar. You have to dress up, when you visit a bar.

screenshot-x2785

Barkeeper: Is this guy for real?

´fraid so.

screenshot-x2786

Randolph then trys the firewalk pit. Um, I think, you are not supposed to wear shoes.

Randolph: What, while walking on glowing embers? Are you insane?

No, YOU are… well, ok, you have a point.

screenshot-x2787

Randolph: See, no problem at all.

screenshot-x2788

He then spends the rest of the night reading on a blanket in the dark.

Randolph: Working on my tan.

screenshot-x2793

Jaron lost his wings in the move. Makes me sad.

screenshot-x2794

The family graveyard in the full moon lighting. Bit spooky.

screenshot-x2795

That´s not a family ghost. I knew, that ghost could use cars, but boats are obviously possible, too.

screenshot-x2789

I bought the baking oven on sale (I stalk the daily deals at the store, well, daily).

screenshot-x2791

Oooh, yes, I want some, please.

screenshot-x2792

Gabby and Miles wanted to go to town, so they visit the library.

screenshot-x2796

Proof, that Isolde is a djinn. I love this pose.

screenshot-x2798

Beverly fell off.

screenshot-x2799

Good thing, her fiancé needs handyness points.

screenshot-x2800

Speaking of Wigbald…

screenshot-x2801

I found out, that one sim can buy the mermaid kelp with his points and it can be given to another sim, like any other object in their inventory. Most of my older sims have tons of lifetime points, because I tend to play a bit wishacy style.

screenshot-x2802

Wigbald: This feels weird.

Just relax.

screenshot-x2803

Don´t know, what´s up with the house.

screenshot-x2804

The boat is parked a bit crazy, too.

screenshot-x2805

Tadaa!

Wigbald: Wow! I´ve got scales!

screenshot-x2807

Pretty!

screenshot-x2808

It´s Beverly´s turn!

screenshot-x2809

Beverly: Should I be eating something glowing?

You should be trying to put both feet on the ground.

screenshot-x2810

 

screenshot-x2811

It takes a while.

screenshot-x2813

 

screenshot-x2814

Beverly: Whoah! Cool!

Hi, Kisa!

screenshot-x2815

And off she goes.

screenshot-x2818

They both got colours, that suit them. Now I´ve got mermaids!

91 Grandchildren, please

screenshot-x2752

What´s up, Beverly?

Beverly: His make-up is so terrible!

Mh, she has a point. On your adult face it looks a bit odd.

Randolph: Less lipstick?

Maybe.

screenshot-x2753

Cathy and Isolde are cute together.

screenshot-x2754

 

screenshot-x2755

So are Beverly and Wigbald.

screenshot-x2756

 

screenshot-x2757

 

screenshot-x2758

 

screenshot-x2759

 

screenshot-x2760

 

screenshot-x2761

Cathy goes on someone´s party and Eddy, who was also there, chooses this moment to die.

screenshot-x2762

Um, did I…?

screenshot-x2763

Yes, I did. Sigh. Welcome back, Eddy.

screenshot-x2764

Gabby has a lot of freetime and is learning mixologie. Why the long face?

Gabby: This doesn´t do anything for me. And I still have no grandchildren.

I´m working on it, ok?

screenshot-x2765

Gabby: Grandchildren?

Isolde: … this is a lovely music, isn´t it?

screenshot-x2766

Catherine: I apologize for my mom.

Isolde: It´s okay. I actually would like to have a child.

screenshot-x2767

Fiona wanted to retire, so I let her.

screenshot-x2768

Gabby: Look, now there´s another one to look after a baby.

Catherine: Mo-om!

screenshot-x2769

This is the last picture from Lunar Lakes. The town was getting laggy and weirder things than normal were happening, so the family will move.
