172 Some babies

Someone got invited to a party at Dany´s and Marco´s house. Henry takes the opportunity to throw potions at people.

Henry: He will kill me and I´ll never have children.

Olaf: I would kill you, man, but I´m too tired right now.

He sleeps standing up for a while.

Later he falls down. It was pretty hilarious.

Franklin and Andromeda plan the next generation.

Those two won´t be having children for a while, but they can start practicing.

 

 

Erica has her adult birthday.

 

 

Andromeda gets her notice.

So does Celia.

Time to be cute pregnant women.

 

 

 

Henry´s last potion.

And he took a potion himself earlier, so the points get doubled. Neat.

Some Sims are beyond help. I left her like that.

It´s time already.

They go to the hospital.

And come back with a little girl. Bryony is absent-minded and brave.

Celia has still a little time.

But she practices a bit by taking care of Bryony. Andromeda thinks, that is awesome. Julius does not.

And she goes to the hospital as well.

Little Thanatos is a heavy sleeper and clumsy.

Conall reaches the end of his lifetime. This won´t do.

I intended this to be the last potion for Henry, but for some reason the fountain of youth causes him to reset, and I didn´t want to mess up the fullfilment of his lifetime wish. So…

Conall is now younger than his son, which is a bit awkward.

Conall: I didn´t consent to this.

Well, too bad.

171 Djinn

Conall continues to explore the town. He meets Gabby and Catherine. Also a face one paparazzi. She´s a fairy now and much better looking.

I don´t know if vampires should be standing in the sun like that.

Gabby: You´re right about that.

There are Milli and Guadelupe.

And Isolde. She´s pretty good at roller skating.

For some reason the fairy showed up uninvited at the house later.

Perhaps she knew it was Henry´s birthday, even though there was no party.

He opted for shorter hair. I think, it suits him.

There is some private celebrating later.

I kind of neglected Henry´s lifetime wish a bit. He already mastered alchemy, but he has to hit 50 sims with a potion. This is a vial of bliss or something.

This however is a flask of bees.

Henry: I just threw a flask of bees at the emperor of evil.

Henry: He will KILL me!

Nah, don´t worry.

Franklin is unimpressed.

The pool area is awesome by the way.

Henry meets Rowan. He finally is an elder.

At first I just gave him new clothes, but I really do not want him to die.

So Henry throws some fountain of youth at him.

He got reset for some reason.

Henry: What just happened?

No clue. Perhaps the game choking.

But the potion is working!

Much better!

Luke and Celia broke the shower with wohoo. Their reactions were pretty funny.

Celia´s new costume.

Andromeda reached her lifetime wish. She´s a superstar athlete. I hate that suit.

When Eric was a child, he found this dusty old lamp on a school trip. There was never an opportunity to have a djinn, but there´s room in the house now, so…

I hope it´s a woman, because Eric seems to be really straight.

Eric: Whoa, hi there handsome!

What did I just say? (I swear, he only ever flirted with women. The moment the djinn poofed out of the lamp, Eric became totally gaga about him. Well, it all works out in the end.)

He does look awesome.

We don´t really have need for one of the djinn wishes, so we´ll just free him.

 

Freezing the lamp, heating the lamp…

Going into the mausoleum with it…

Yay, djinn!

Took him into CAS to improve his face-one and tone down the blue a bit, so he doesn´t look as much as a smurf.

His name is Julius Bürgers, he´s adventurous, neat, hopeless romantic, has the photographer´s eye and the green thumb. I like him.

170 Sunlit Tides

Franklin kind of always looks smaller than Andromeda.

They are cute together.

 

A lot of ghosts out today. Shaoran and Stoutland (I still feel kinda guilty about him).

Beverly and Paul.

But I have to pack them all up, because…

… we are moving to Sunlit Tides! Hidden Springs  was getting a bit laggy and glitchy, so it was time for a new world.

It´s a tropical dream!

Conal does a bit of sight-seeing. Everyone seems to be very relaxed.

 

We invite a few people over. Dany is chatting with Graciela Grünberg, the wife of Olaf Sato-Orange.

They have a son together, Silvio, who inherited his grandfather Rowan´s hair.

Olaf tends to marry older human women, so this is his first kid.

Still the emperor of evil. He dresses himself, btw.

Conal and Dany dancing together.

Dany´s husband Marco seems to aprove.

Adriana Busch-Espinoza is grumpy. Perhaps she didn´t want to be dragged along.

Adriana: No. I´m always grumpy.

True dat.

Very pretty when she smiles, though.

Ah, it´s like a holiday.

 

 

169 A nearly perfect party

Conall and Henry like to spend time together.

 

Hidden Springs in the rain.

 

 

Celia wanted a Bachelorette party. As usual, I don´t discriminate – everyone is invited.

There´s a lot of dancing going on. On the right, Rudi Holden-Gallardo, a collegue of someone. His outfit was boring, so I changed it.

This elderly lady wasn´t invited, but she seems nice enough.

Conall dances with Marco, Dany´s husband.

They seem to get along.

So, then the uninvited elderly lady dies.

She seems pretty cool about it.

I guess, she had a nice last evening.

Conall: This party rocks!

Have you looked behind you? No? Ok, carry on.

Luke dances with ELIZA and manages to step on her non-existent toes.

 

I forgot to change Erica and Henry´s formal wear, so they are still in their wedding outfits. Ah, well, it suits them.

It´s really a good party.

 

Although Maro senses  a betrayal (I have jealousy disabled. Don´t know, what he´s on about).

Oh, Dany´s dancing with Rudi.

Marco got him back.

There´s a lot of love in the air. Some like it, some don´t.

The next day I make Luke a witch, because I want their child to be one.

 

I also give him an awesome ride.

It´s a wedding! In the rain again! (I have no one to blame but myself).

But they don´t seem to care that much.

 

 

Luke gets a phone call for a date right after the ceremony from some random sim we don´t even know.

Luke: What? No, I just got married! Who even are you?

They really hurried to go back inside. I have to plan this events better.

168 Intimidating eyebrows

Celia does a lot of performing for tips. She´s nearly at the top of her career.

Not much audience, though. We invite Luke over.

It´s a good place for a proposal.

He happily accepts!

The random dog is quite right, Celia is a witch. I forget sometimes.

Franklin ages up. Henry seems to disaprove.

Henry: Aging up, huh? Feeling cocky, you little twerp?

Franklin: Jealous of the sparkles, are we? Wait, until I´m finished here!

Henry: *not impressed*

Franklin: How do you even speak to your elders?

Henry: Whoa, I didn´t say anything!

Those eyebrows are truely intimidating.

Much better.

Luke also ages up. I totally forgot their birthdays.

Looking good.

Scott dropped by for a relaxing foot massage.

Erica is very happy to be married.

Celia has a show. It´s raining again.

She brought Dan for some reason.

Further proof that you can´t dragon and drive.

Sometimes it seems to work.

Although it really looks weird and she stands up at every corner.

167 Rainy weddings

We´re planing an outdoor wedding. The rain has to go.

Conall: I´m on it!

 

Conall: Does this thing actually work?

Give it a minute.

Conall is now way older than Dany. Neither of them seems to care.

The rain is gone, but it´s still very dark. Ah, well.

 

 

Most important part of the wedding.

 

Isolde always gets a piece.

Isolde: What?

Never mind.

The romantic atmosphere inspires Andromeda to propose to Franklin.

He accepts!

 

Andromeda: The wedding arch is right here, so…

Franklin: Huh? Uh, okay.

The rain is back.

Ah, who cares.

The guests are gone, but the family is still there.

166 Some birthdays and a proposal

Dancing fairies. Must be a party.

Conall is becoming an elder.

I do not like this.

Dany seems unperturbed.

 

The next evening Conall is invited to a party at Miles´and Gabby´s house.

Everyone is in the bathroom for some reason.

Erica seems to like pancakes.

Erica: I´m hungry.

Later Conall does a portrait of her.

Uhm. Well.

Do you like it Erica?

Erica: I love it!

Okay then.

Some random elder lady. I like her style.

Marina going somewhere.

Celia decides to wear her costume again. I understand, why she wanted to wear her robes instead.

Gabby and Miles are still into each other.

 

Back at home, Celia has her adult birthday. The game is pretty laggy at the moment, so she doesn´t get a party.

Still looking hot.

And it´s Andromeda´s birthday as well.

Also still hot.

Henry falls out of the bed. Well, actually, he woke up because of a ghost and then fainted.

And up again.

In the morning he asks Erica to marry him.

She accepts!

 

165 This library needs a photo booth

Everyone in the family is paired up at the moment. Conall seems a bit lonely.

Conall: Ah, I´m good, thank you.

We´re going to the spring festival.

Conall: Ok, then.

The man at the kissing booth leaves as soon as Conall is aproaching. His loss.

Instead he does a bit egg hunting.

He still has a wish to be kissed at the kissing booth. It´s vacant at the moment, so he mans it himself.

No one seems to want to kiss this pretty face.

Conall: I was fine before this, really. Thanks for making me depressed.

Shortly before we leave the festival, the kissing booth man comes back and remembers his work ethics.

Conall takes a bath when he comes home and has an encounter with Benito.

Conall: Lovely day, really. He was totally peeking!

He probably was, I remember him flirting with Liam.

Celia suddenly wants to perform only in her graduation robes.

They are not very revealing, which probably explains the enthusiasm of the audience.

Conall meets Dany at the library. Dany is much younger than he should be – I aged him down a few times, with the vage plan to hook them up later. But he went and got himself married!

Conall: Perhaps he´s open to an affair.

I like his nose. He should have kids.

Henry wandered in and started reading, while those two were staring at each other.

OK, just a little flirt.

And a bit of heat of the moment kissing. If he doesn´t like it, we back off.

Well, no backing off, then.

Oh, look, a photo booth suddenly appeared in the library. I wonder, how that happened?

Conall: Should we… take some photos?

Dany: Seems like a splendid idea!

 

Henry: OK, that´s too much! I´m leaving!

No one forced you to sit at that desk.

Henry: But I like the colours!

Conall: So, let´s see the photos…

Conall: *gasp*

Not good then?

Conall: Totally got our bad side! No one shall see!

Conall: That was fun!

I´m happy, when you are happy.

 

Dany seems also quite cheerful.

And all this time, Olaf, emperor of evil, was sleeping peacefully upstairs.

164 More dystopian future

The next days in the future consisted mostly of running around, watching the scenery and collecting things.

 

Andromeda visits the Plumbot shop and has some nice converstions.

Henry and Erica do some sight-seeing together. Someone hits on Erica, but she totally shoots him down.

She prefers her Henry.

The sunset is stunning.

 

 

The food seems to be a bit weird, but edible.

Some landscape pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

I think, Luke got one of those.

They had enough skills, so the music was actually great.

The meteors came back and one headed for Franklin, who was fishing. Then the game crashed.

Andromeda visits the park and discovers a statue of Storm!

It´s because she made a sentinen Plumbot, ELIZA. Pretty neat.

Franklin fishes on. No meteor this time.

 

Some more random pictures.

 

 

Henry worked out and is suddenly slim.

It´s a weird look for him.

 

 

 

There´s a performer in the middle of nowhere.

I don´t think, she got a lot of tips.

 

 

There are some really intersting sims in this future.

And even a unicorn!

But everyone was whiney and wanted home. So we went.

Again in the sleepwear. Must be regulation.

You can change on the trip. Back home again! Most of them are time-travel sick.

That was interesting. I like the dystopian future a lot more, than the utopian one. Perhaps not so much the meteors.

163 Into the dystopian future

Oh, it´s Randolph and Liam! Hi!

Last week Jan died. Conall is sad.

He will stay at home…

…while the young ones travel to the dystopian future.

Don´t know, why they have to do it in their sleepwear.

Okay, they changed.

It´s kinda gritty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emit welcomes them.

Andromeda gets an opportunity to stop the meteors for a while. She has to play in some junk piles.

Seems like fun.

Fire is shooting randomly out of the ground.

Um, Henry, I don´t know, if this is save.

Henry: Right.

Oh, now it´s hot water. You can bath in those.

Henry: No, thanks.

Andromeda has to eat some bugs.

 

Andromeda: That´s pretty tasty.

OK then.

The next one bit her.

And there´s a meteor impact.

Celia nearly got squashed. As it is, she calmly extinguishes the fire with her magic.

That´s a big one.

It´s getting dark.

 

 

Another meteor. My game doesn´t really likes that, it´s pretty shaky.

And good night.
