Hi! It's been like a week, and I apologize. I've been trying to put more game time in a single chapter, but it's not very satisfying to myself, so I'm going to be posting a poll to see how you guys feel about the length of my chapters. If you've discovered my stories after the next chapter comes out, or the next, or even once I'm done with this series, please still fill out the poll! Anyways. Last time, Ector was born and aged up into a toddler. Then, the twins Xion and Xantos, aged up into kids. Look at them go at their homework! Because we need to have four more pregnancies, but only have two more slots in the house, I'm working on aging up these kiddos ASAP. Normally, I'd wait for their birthday, but I'm going to age them up once they have an A in school and have finished one aspiration. They're doing well so far. I really like this new kid onesie, and I think it has become my default pajamas for kids now. I think it came with Get Together, which I recently bought. If you look at the picture above, you'll see that Xantos has the same pajamas, but space-themed. I decided to start on the twins' Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. I kind of ignored Ector's skill building for Xion and Xantos. After getting home from work, Xerxes took Ector outside for some reason. Don't ask me why. (They both had really low needs, too.) Ector then went inside to work on his skills. I also got rid of his bookcase so that he could have the tablet in his room once the twins aged up into kids. Ah, how healthy my sims are. (I personally HATE when my sims eat cake for a meal. It just seems so sugary and unhealthy and wrong. This is not like me at all; I love sweets, but it's just so different in the sims. But then again, I need to feel like I'm eating something substantial at every meal.) Fire. Oh joy. (I'm SO EXCITED for firefighters to come to the Sims soon! As I type this, firefighters are going past my window.) After Demetrius put out the fire, he took a stinky Ector and panicked alongside Xion. Ah, family bonding. Demetrius had to alleviate the stress. And I had to get on with the challenge. What could this mean? Xerxes is pregnant again! Unfortunately for Demetrius, this stress-lifting woohoo led to two tense moodlets that I found pretty funny: "Troubling News: Dismayed after learning that a baby is on the way!" and "Conception Tension: (From Trying for a Baby) If a Sim hates children, they're bound to be a little tense about a potential pregnancy." These are the only two messes my sims have made. The one under the monkey bars was from the twins' toddlerhood, and the other one is from the twins' childhood. They've all been outside, so I haven't bothered to clean them up. Poor Ector. But doesn't he look so cute passed out? The twins came home from school in a playful mood, so I sent them to Desert Bloom park in Oasis Springs to complete part of the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration: to play on a jungle gym while playful. However, by the time they got there, they both were just happy instead. Smh. When they got back, Demetrius was just mopping up the backyard. And he's lazy. Normally only neat sims can mop outside - and there weren't even puddles there! The next day, the twins come home playful again, and so off to Desert Bloom we go. And they've become happy and confident (though Xion doesn't look it). Sigh. They get back and I set them to working on their projects again, but they just start freezing to death. Meanwhile, Xerxes and Demetrius work on their aspirations/promotions together. I've been trying to get Xerxes' logic skill up for her job through a logic book, but that wasn't getting her skill up, so I bought her a chess table. Despite Demetrius' trait, he hasn't gotten any negative trait when surrounded by/talking to his kids. (Also, those little gold things have been showing up around my Sims' heads when building skills, and I don't know why, but it's kind of annoying.) Xion is doing better with this aspiration than Xantos, and has 2-3 more skill levels than him. After our third attempt (and fail) to send the twins to Desert Bloom to complete their milestone, I decided to just buy a jungle gym, using almost all our money, but I sold it after. Xerxes came home with a promotion! She and Demetrius have been getting promoted a bit, but I don't really record that like I should. Oops. After waking up, Xerxes pees herself and walks away, leaving a stinky cloud. Xion and Xantos complete their first milestones! Xerxes goes into labor while painting a painting from reference. (I took a picture of the canvas for that, and had a little chuckle about that. Anyways, I sent her to the hospital because I didn't have a bassinet. (Since I don't have Get To Work, I didn't get a birth certificate or anything.) (I think the hospital interactions come with Get To Work) And it's a(nother) boy! Say hi to little Remy Disney! Because I didn't feel like giving Remy his own bedroom/nursery, I just put him in Xerxes and Demtrius' bedroom. Then I set Demetrius and Xerxes to work on baby X. I also moved Remy out into the living space. He's a baby, but still. I didn't think he should witness that. And she's pregnant! I'm really hoping this baby is a girl because a) I have a really pretty name and b) I just want a girl because all we've had has been boys and I want some variety. She looks sick already. Please don't let it be multiples! It's Harvestfest! I really like the grand meal tradition, but this one didn't go so well. Most of the household just had eggs and bacon. Smh. I would like to draw attention to this gnome. That is all. Poor Xion couldn't get into his room. This evil wizard gnome was commanding his two naked henchmen. Xantos did something. I don't remember why I took this picture, but I think it is because he finished his second milestone. (For the record, Xion finished his second milestone before Xantos.) Remy has been such a good baby. He's so quiet and angelic. Xion really likes Remy, though he isn't very good at giving him what he needs. Ector mastered the movement skill! +5 And just in time, too, because it's Ector's birthday! Demetrius makes him a coconut cake... which turns out fine! And he ages up, stinky and sad. And taking some cake to eat. Grrr. I think Ector is really cute! He's lazy, and I really took this to heart when dressing him. However, I'm kind of scared of this aspiration, because, from what I've read of other legacies, this aspiration is really annoying. If I had to pick a sim as our next heir right now, it would be Remy, because I want to get Y out of the way. Anyways, I'm going to end this chapter here right now with a poll. See you guys next time! (Chapter 4 should be coming out pretty soon, I promise) Total Points: |
