132 Raising the dead

For some reason, everyone insists on cooking their own food, instead of eating perfectly fine leftovers.

Storm: I want cake!

Sebastian: Pizza!

Stop making food!

Kosta has his birthday. He rolls friendly.

His lifetime wish is to become a creature-robot-crossbreader, so he gets a job at the science facility. He will move out for a bit, I need some space in the house.

But first, graduation!

Everyone is having fun.

 

And an alien abduction before he leaves. No danger of a baby, because he´s a witch.

The winter gnomes really like the ice cone machine. I sell it anyway, because the whole family eats nothing else. At least, they are not cooking anymore.

I like this umbrella.

Xena is feeling unwell.

But not for long.

Liam maxed the spellcasting skill. So we are doing some experiements…

I grab some random townie´s headstone from the mausoleom and place it on the ground. Liam casts the spell to raise the dead.

 

 

You´re kind of worrying me there, Liam.

Liam: Eheheheh! It´s dark magic! I have to cackle manically!

Well, ok then.

Zombie alert!

Ok, now we have a zombie.

But there´s some other spell…

The sunlight charms brings her back to life!

And she´s gone. No need to thank us, or something.

Don´t know, where she got that car. I kind of totally forgot her after this, but if there´s a sufficient powerfull witch in the house, you don´t have to fear fatal accidents. Good to know!

131 Doing the laundry

For some reason Mortimer decides to collect some dirty laundry in the middle of the ocean.

His needs are really low, so I reset him, but he does not return home, instead he materializes on the little island with the ship wreck, his needs still way down.

 

But as a sensible sim, he takes a water taxi to the shore.

Then he pulls out his batmobile and drives home.

 

And he´s back!

For some reason Liam does exactly the same a few days later.

He tops it though, by walking on water.

He´s right at the edge of the map.

I tell him to return home and he does. Don´t know, what that was all about. Probably a glitch.

The teens always do their homework autonomously.

Ingrid is always the first one to finish, but Kosta doesn´t seem to mind.

They go to prom together.

Nothing really happens.

Sebastian wants to have a wizard duel, so he has one with Liam.

It´s pretty spectacular.

Even if it is in the bathroom.

 

 

 

Liam wins. He should, he mastered the skill. But you never know.

130 A tale of wohoo

I don´t know, why I took this picture. Did you reach the top of your career?

Storm: You should know that. I feel neglected.

Sorry. Uhm. That outfit really suits you.

Storm: Too little too late.

Kosta feels rebellious and wants to egg a house.

He promptly gets chewed out by Mortimer. I make Mort forgive him, so he can go to school.

Ingrid: Well done, boyfriend!

Kosta: Uh, thanks?

They are both good kids.

So, I set wohooer to autonomous wohoo every 12 sim hours. I have three couples and three double beds.

Sometimes they collide.

Scott and Xena are the lucky ones.

Sebastian: They are totally in the way!

And you may totally want to give them some privacy? Maybe?

Storm and Sebastian decide to use this bed. So do Mortimer and Liam.

Well, Sebastian is a bit tired, so he takes a nap instead.

Mortimer: Wait, what?

Storm: Hehe, wohoo!

 

Mortimer: I actually don´t believe this.

Liam: Let´s take the other bed?

Mortimer: I guess.

Mortimer: Because Sebastian is in the way!

Liam: Get over it.

Storm: *punches the wall in frustration*

Liam: I´m kinda tired. I think I´ll sit down a bit.

Mortimer: Wait, I thought we would use the other bed.

Storm: No, I want to use the other bed.

Liam: Well, I´m here. Now what?

Mortimer: Don´t rush me, I´m an old man.

Liam: Nah, I think I´m hungry now.

Mortimer: Get your behind in this bed!

Liam: Why, what do you want to do to me?

Mortimer: I´ll show you!

Meanwhile, Storm is still waiting for Sebastian to wake up.

Storm: We will have so much fun in that bed!

Sure.

Sebastian: I´m awake. Gonna eat something now.

Storm: You can´t be serious!

So what can a frustrated sim woman do now? Go to sleep and dream of cats!

All sim actions where autonomous. I just watched and laughed.

129 Into the future

So, we are traveling to the utopian future.

 

Emit welcomes everyone and gives Sebastian some task to collect dew.

 

He seems to be in a really good mood. (In fact, he´s high. Every sim here has a dew problem.)

The sight is breathtaking.

Perhaps a bit bright.

 

Sebastian does the dew collecting.

Wow.

The first night is a fullmoon.

Fullmoon nights seem to do things to Xena (apart from turning her into a werewolf).

Everyone is constantly throwing dew. So Sebastian is green now.

Ingrid is blue.

So is Storm.

Kosta and Ingrid go on a trip with the hover train.

 

Kosta finds some gold at the end of the rainbow.

But the main reason they are here, is, to make this relationship official.

First kiss.

 

And some more kissing.

Scott and Sebastian go fishing to catch some special fish (another task). They mainly get rainbow slugs, which are pretty.

 

These colours are something else.

Another night, another plumbot…

Kosta wakes up early, goes to collect some dew and gets arrested by the robot police.

Then a red Scott shouts at him, which he doesn´t understand.

I don´t know, what is up with these people.

I got fed up with the constant dew-throwing and the resulting high sims, so we went home. I should try the dystopian future at some point.

128 Cake on fire

I add Kosta to the family and make him a witch.

He will age up soon, and I want to give him a bit of a headstart (meaning, he will have to do some mad skilling).

He hates the outdoors, is handy, has star quality and is obviously absent-minded. I like him, he´s a very mellow sim.

It´s Ingrid´s birthday. She spends the last minutes of childhood throwing hoops with Rowan.

I guess, Kosta is kind of happy, that she ages up.

Oops.

Ingrid: I feel a bit warm.

Kosta: Your butt is on fire!!

Xena + Scott: Yay, birthday!

Everyone else: Uuhm…

And now, panic!

Mortimer: DO something!

Liam: Stop panicking, I´ve got it!

Storm: *Calculating trajectories*

With two brave sims, I can just watch. They have it in hand.

Storm: Phew!

Ingrid:

You look a bit upset, dear.

Ingrid: I´M COVERED IN SOOT! EW!

Shower, then?

Ingrid: Please.

Off you go!

And the fire departmend arrives. At least, they don´t fine us.

Next try. One of the fire fighters stays, to prevent any more disaster.

No fire this time. She rolls computer whiz.

Like what you see, Kosta?

Kosta: … I wish, you would stop that.

It´s a „yes“ then, I guess.

Ingrid is actually a female clone of Sebastian, but that´s OK.

You still look a bit shell-shocked.

Ingrid: MY BUTT WAS ON FIRE!

Stoutland visits after everyone is asleep. He´s really very sparkly.

127 Philosopher´s stone

Stoutland is getting pretty old. He´s way past the 128 days I have set the lifebar to.

I kind of need to get some space in the house.

Sooo, there´s this lifetime reward, the philosopher´s stone.

You can turn random objects to gold. However..

… there´s a chance, you turn your sim to gold.

I`m a bad person.

Really glittery ghost, though.

Stoutland seems to be okay with it.

I`M SORRY!

Xena moves in, making Scott really happy.

Her table manners as a werewolf are pretty disgusting.

Xena: Mine! *growl*

Sybil: As if I would want cake. Stupid dog.

For some reason everyone is terrified by Xena, they pee themselves and pass out.

It was really annoying, but obviously a glitch, because it was gone the next play session.

Xena´s lifetime wish is Jack of all traits, so she has to reach level five in four professions. I may have to change that. At the moment, she´s a level one magician and already an adult.

 

Some random sim dies while she is performing.

The glitch is still there, so the audience reacts in the usual way. Isolde, who is brave, can´t really understand that.

Xena: I´m hideous.

You are a beautiful sim and werewolves are cute.

Benito died, which puzzled me, because he should have had more time.

Sebastian paints a picture I never saw before.

Scott torments massages his dad.

Scott: Uhm… you okay?

Scott: Dad?

Liam: I feel like a new person!

Scott: Phew!

This beautiful stray wanders in, but poofs after a few minutes. Perhaps we should have a dog sometime.

Goodbye, Stoutland. I really shouldn´t be saying that about a sim I downloaded elsewere, but you were a teeny tiny bit boring. But Arielle really loved you, and that is what counts, right?

126 Walking the dog

Last time Arielle died, and everyone is sad.

 

She comes back for a visit and makes Stoutland less sad.

 

Scott is obsessed with his violin.

This is supposed to be a portrait of one of the cats. Turned out a bit dark.

Sebastian is a good dad.

 

Ingrid never rides the rocking horse, she only pats it, which is totally cute.

She suddenly rolls a lot of wishes for one of her classmates, Kosta Treble. When he comes over to visit, he is already a teenager, a face one babysitter. So I gave him a make-over and a home in town.

They are best friends now. We´ll see.

It´s Sebastian´s adult birthday.

Here´s the werewolf lady again, I still can´t remember her name. Turns out, she´s married to Rowan Orange at the moment, and two days from elder. With a litte mastercontroler magic, she´s also pregnant now.

 

Sebastian has a midlife crisis. Of course.

The aliens like Stoutland.

Mortimer has a row with the rooster.

Then he plays with the chicks.

 

 

Sebastian gets struck by lighning, while painting outside. Dangerous thing, art.

And it´s Scott´s birthday.

No.

Scott: But…

No.

Project more offspring for Rowan seems to be a success.

Another sim I don´t really know, but her last name is Ziggfield-Wu. I saved her to the library, because she looks really good. I didn´t even give her a make-over.

This lady is walking her dog.

I followed her halfway across town. It was fun!

125 Dancing the smustle

Liam wants to visit the summer festival and dances the smustle the whole time he´s there.

Benito still charms his wife.

The smustle seems to be very popular. I love this!

Arielle visits the local werewolf den and passes out because of dehydration. Luckily the hostess (who is a friend of the family for ages but whose name I didn´t write down) is handy with a bucket.

After her shower she forgets to dress.

Scott reaches his lifetime wish. He is now a hit movie composer!

He still plays every instrument he can get his fingers on.

Sebastian wants to do an ice sculpture of someone. I let Liam model.

This has to be the cutest pose ever.

 

Sadly Arielle dies in the middle of sculpting.

 

She takes it, like everything in her life, with a calm grace.

 

Grim stays for a bit. What does he want from Sybil??

Ah. Feed her treats.

Grim: I LIKE CATS.

 

He then ponders about children…

… and fashion?

Ingrid cheers the cats up.

 

Sebastian finishes the sculpture after all.

Poor Stoutland is heartbroken.

Goodbye, Arielle. I had a lot of fun with you!

124 Time traveler

Arielle is feeling better and not fainting right and left anymore.

This generation is really too lovey-dovey. Keep it down, boys.

I suddenly wanted to travel to the future, so Sebastian activates the time portal.

There´s the time traveler, Emit Relevart.

Emit: I forgot to apply my eyeshadow.

You are wearing giant sunglasses. Nobody will see.

Emit: But I feel so naked.

Sebastian gets the opportunity for the utopian future.

First he has to collect laughter.

Then he has to throw different coloured dew at people, starting with himself.

Sebastian: I feel… yellow.

Um. Good for you?

This is fun!

After running out of family members, Sebastian assaults the visitors of the gym.

Marina thinks, being pink is hilarious.

We now can travel to the utopian future at any time. But we will wait for a bit.

Sebastian makes this … art.

I like it, so it can stand in the garden.

He promptly does another one.

Being a loner, Ingrid is a pretty self-sufficient little girl.

She likes playing with the cats.

 

 

Every morning she travels from the family house (upper left corner) to the school (bottom right corner). Yes, she takes the bus.

In the afternoon she takes the bus home. Although, today she prefers to stay for a bit and play with this toy her dad invented for her.

123 Dehydration

Sooo, I don´t want Sebastian and Storm to have children together, because then my three lines would become two. Sebastian makes a trip to the past and look, what comes out of the time machine a while later!

This is Ingrid, she´s a loner and excitable. She´s also a witch.

She quickly acclimates to the gadgets of the modern time.

Arielle suddenly stops taking care of her needs, and faints because of dehydration. Storm comes to the rescue.

Oh, no, Liam! That´s not fair, he only was one or two days over the set 128 days. Normally, my sims live much longer.

 

 

Wait, what?

Normally, I remove the death flower from their inventory when they become elders. Liam was still doing his dangerous shows, so I left it in there. And then I forgot.

Ah, well, Mortimer is happy. Liam´s age was reset to the beginning of elder status, but I adjusted it, so they are roughly the same age again.

Don´t know, who built these.

Stoutland, your wife is laying in the snow, slowly dying of dehydration. You wanna do something about it?

Stoutland: I´d like some wohoo anytime soon.

Don´t you need someone for that?

Stoutland: I´m so faithfull.

That´s nice, so you like your wife, yes? About that dying of dehydration…

Stoutland: Wohoo.

Argh.

Storm interrupted her hot-tubing to throw water on Arielle autonomously.

Storm: Say, old man, are you senile or something?

Stoutland: Huh? Did something happen?

Arielle doesn´t seem to mind her husbands neglection.

Storm, aren´t you cold?

Storm: No, why?

No reason.

Liam maxes his witchcraft skill. Now he can clean the whole house with a spell.

Nice sparkles.

It´s snowflake day!

Everyone seems to have fun.

 

Xena is cute.

Miles has to leave early for some reason.

Miles, you are creepy as a vampire.

Miles: Why, thank you.

Not a compliment.

Waiting in a perfect circle. And inside snow.

Scott makes sure, Xena has a nice party.

And Arielle faints again. I left her on free will the whole time, just to see, what would happen.

Um, Scott?

Scott: Lalala…

Storm: Seriously, what´s wrong with her?

I think, it was a glitch. She was fine the next play session.

Just not now. She fainted in nearly the exact same spot.

Uhm, Storm?

Storm: After my breakfast. I´ve had enough!

Mortimer show´s some rare mercy. I sent her to the shower after this.
