Up first? WEDDING PARTY! As you may remember, Archimedes has the Party Animal aspiration and he has to get a gold medal on 3 parties. Friday afternoon we had a house party. Saturday we had a birthday party. And now on Sunday, we're having a wedding.
Legacy Legit, yo.
Interestingly enough this is the first time my sims haven't spun into automatic wedding formal wear. I had to make them dress formally. Weird.
But now you get to see Walt's dapper suit. :D
Although now that I think on it, Molly might have auto-dressed because I don't think that's her formalwear. Not sure. <--fail
While the guests are still piling onto the lot, Archie and Nora are spamming each other with adorable flirts. Archie must have been confident because I think this is the 'suave kiss' animation.
Smooth move, my man. Smooooooth.
Older sister Anna was inside the house, pretty in her blue dress as always.
And Arthur was doing who knows what on the computer. Probably trying to hack the webcam to turn on so he can be a creeper and spy on his family. XD Stalker-Sim alert.
ARTHUR - That's not funny. :<
Nothing says classy like taking a selfie in your wedding gown. True facts.
Alright people let's get this thing going already! . . . and wow, that bar is NASTY all of a sudden. O_o
Wedding spam!
A kiss to seal the vows! And as you can see, poor Molly and Eliza are both horrified/depressed. Luckily not by the marriage. The nasty bar was grossing them out.
Neat sims.
He's a party sim. It's FESTIVE.
Sharing the first slice!
Unfortunately after one patch or another, this action seems bugged. The sim will pick up the piece and then immediately set it down somewhere. Then walk over to the spouse with a now-nonexistent plate and feed them air.
Fail.
Molly couldn't stand herself. She chased the mixologist away and cleaned the bar. Now she has to make her own drinks, since our mixologist is now too busy playing R.E.F.U.G.E. to do her job.
We wind out the party with drinks and cake and earn our gold medal! Yay! Archie gets to his next milestone . . . and I quickly decide I've had enough of this party nonsense. -_- I hate throwing parties in the sims, they always suck.
I made an executive decision and switched his Aspiration to Bodybuilder instead. No shame was had.
Our Gen A spouses got sent into the bedroom to give that nooboo thing another try.
Yay! Toilet confetti means success! Nora looks so thrilled.
Since she's going into the business career, Nora is going to need logic and charisma. To work on both, she and mama Molly engage in several chess games together.
NORA - Guess what, Molly! I'M PREGNANT!
MOLLY - Really?! That's lovely dear!
Supportive parents are supportive.
Walt's still around, currently upgrading all the plumbing and appliances in his spare time.
Another day, another Arthur visit. Nora puts him to work and makes him play chess though.
ARTHUR - This used to be MY chess board. :c
Actually it's your MOTHER'S chess board. Stop trying to garner sympathy.
Molly's back home from work, which means more chess games! The two girls are well on their way to becoming best buddies. This makes me happeh.
Archie is already pretty far along in his fitness skill, though not maxed yet. He's getting to work on that, now both for his aspiration AND his professional sports career.
Just Walt and Molly. Still being absolutely precious together. <3 Wolly
Baby bump alert! Nora's the first sim I've had that's gotten pregnant and not immediately popped a belly.
WALT - Great choice on your wife, son. I approve!
ARCHIE - Thanks dad! . . . by the way, did you realize that we missed a section of wall when we were decorating?
WALT - . . . oops.
This is actually where I myself noticed that snafu, lol.
Nora's off to her first day of work! Good luck my little simmie!
While everyone else is at work Archie heads out to the gym to fulfill that requirement of his aspiration. His wife and parents work during the day, most of his shifts are in the evening.
Whoa! MASSIVE baby bump alert! We're now officially on Nooboo Watch 2015.
All three of them came home grumpy from work that day. Both Walt and Molly are on level 8 or 9 of their careers and I'm having the hardest time getting them promotions. All of the requirements are filled and they're usually in the preferred moods. Meh.
Time for Archie to start his job as a . . . llamacorn mascot . . .
ARTHUR - HAHAHAHAHA!!
Goddammit, go HOME Arthur!!!1!11
Baby time!
*A few hours later . . . *
ARCHIE - Nora! You're in labor! Are you sure you should be eating mac n cheese right now?!
NORA - Archie, settle your ass down. I've been in labor for 2 hours already and I'm starving. Go back out to the pool, I'll call you when I'm done.
Lol, she told him.
It's go time! Nora headed into the nursery to do her thing.
Aaaaaand twins. Again. -_-* Shoot me now.
This time we have a pair of bouncing baby boy twins, fitting for our B generation. In mama's arms is the first born, Bagheera Disney. Next to him in the blue bassinet is is brother, Baloo Disney.
Both boys are named for characters in Disney's Jungle Book. Bagheera the black panther . . .
. . . and Baloo the bear. An oldie but a goldie in the Disney Animated Feature collection.
It was all hands on deck for the boys. They were little needy screamers. Everybody in the family chipped in.
The next night, over dinner, Archie puts on some moves. And Nora's liking those moves.
REALLY liking those moves. Two hearts! True wuv!
*busts out laughing*
My, my. This looks familiar.
ARCHIE - Shush!
Your dad had a very similar problem, as I recall. Workin' up a 'sweat' eh? *eyebrow waggle*
ARCHIE - *pout face*
It was effort well spent, though. Happy grin and confetti tell us we have another success!
Dawwwww. I really like Archie and Nora together. <3
While the parents celebrate the next nooboo, the grandparents make sure the first ones are well taken care of.
NORA - Blaaaaaaaaaaaarghoeoshjsdfhgt!
Whoa . . . *backs away slowly*
Second pregnancy is a bit harder on poor Nora here. She had to run to the bathroom at least once a day I think.
Archie comes home from work that evening with a promotion! No more soul-crushingly embarrassing mascot outfit!
I forget what this level is called though. Oops.
But enough of that because it's time for BIRTHDAYS! It's time for the twins to leave their bassinet! Since it's late at night, dad gets to do the honors.
Introducing child-aged Bagheera Disney! He's got his mama's brown hair and a variation of grandpa Walt's brown eyes. He rolled up the trait Mean and the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.
As a note, I have yet to see this mean trait do anything in game. So far it's a big fat liar, this kid is ALWAYS happy. Observe.
And not soon after, we have child-aged Baloo Disney! As far as I can tell right now the twins are completely identical. Same hair color, same eye color, same overall features. He rolls up the Creative trait and the fitting Artistic Prodigy aspiration.
A side-by-side for comparison. Adorable little scamps, for sure. And they're always smiling it seems. <3
Archie's really putting on some guns! I believe this shot is to indicate that he's maxed the fitness skill. Yay Archie! It won't be long now until he finishes the aspiration entirely. I think all he has left is to achieve a 'perfect body.'
After putting a pair of beds for the twins in the 'nursery', it was here that I realized my build design was a little . . . unambitious as far as space was concerned. -_- Bassinet out in the living room for the impending nooboo.
Nora looks less than pleased, but I didn't feel like a remodel just then.
Now that her babies are mobile Nora can get started on HER aspiration, which is to have a Successful lineage. She gets started on the 'read to a child for 2 hours' part, and Bagheera is the first to reap the benefits.
NORA - And so the llamacorn leapt into the meadow and pranced around for all the gnomes to see!
BAGHEERA - I want a llamacorn!
Maybe for the Pets EP . . . we can only hope/dream. :P
What was Baloo up to? A bracing breakfast of birthday cake. (Alliteration much?) Note his monkey-t-shirt PJs and socks. <3
When mom and Bagheera took a break from story time, he'd decided he'd had enough of mom and sat alone at the bar.
ARCHIE - *popping out of his clothes*
Dayum. O_o
NORA - . . . agreed. Rawr.
Bagheera headed outside to the monkey bars and jungle gym after he'd put in his hour of being read to. No time like the present to get started on that aspiration!
Inside, it was Baloo's turn to get mommy story-time.
BALOO - What's that, mom?
NORA - That's your little brother or sister.
BALOO - . . . hmm . . . not sure if good or bad thing . . . .
ARTHUR - *rings doorbell for the billionth time.
BALOO - I dunno about you Mr. Monster-Pants, but that guy seems a bit shady to me . . . .
ARTHUR - Rude.
Indoors Archie was keeping the love alive with a very pregnant Nora. It won't be long now before we have the third B baby.
Back from school and the twins are as chipper as ever. Seriously, these kids live on cloud 9.
WALT - Llamacorn . . . you understand me. You GET me. And I appreciate that. I really do.
Walt, please leave the kids' toys alone . . . -_-*
Anna! For once it was Anna who decided to show up at the house. I invited her in but she only stayed for an hour or so before leaving again.
ANNA - Unlike my creeper twin, I actually have a social life.
Nora's helping the boys with their homework when she can, in between work and other needs. And Archie is still doing his fitness thing.
And then! BABY! Archie slept through the whole thing, typical.
But Nora would like to introduce you all to the third and final member of Generation B. Another boy we've named Bambi Disney.
And in case you weren't aware, he's named for this little cloven-hoofed treasure from the same-titled feature.
*sometime later*
ARCHIE - Nora! NORA! There's a baby in the living room!
NORA - . . . I have no words, Archie. No words.
BAGHEERA and BALOO - . . . nope. Don't like it.
HAH! Yet ANOTHER blast from the past! I have never had any other sims children autonomously do this except for in this save file. Cracks me up every time.
Suspicions, the boys have them.
WALT - Um, Watcher?
No! Nonononononononooooooooo!!!!
Unfortunately my protests were for naught. Only Molly was home, so she got to witness the heart-shatteringly depressing sight of the love of her life kicking the proverbial bucket.
MOLLY - Oh I can't watch!
GRIM - Alrighty, everything here seems to be in order. Time to get this reaping on the road!
*pouting*
Our Disney founder got laid to rest at the back of the property, starting off this alphabetacy's graveyard patch.
As before in TS3, you were a great founder and an adorable sim, Walt. I'll miss you!!!
Apparently Molly will too. She needed to play some tournaments for her career, but her heart just wasn't in it.
So she went in her room and cried it out beneath the covers instead.
Oh God My Feels.
;_;
While that was going on, Nora managed to bag herself a promotion at work!
And Archie did too! A-Gen is doing me proud.
Molly got the honor of helping Bambi age up the next morning. No more bassinets!
Oh cheezus. Like his older brothers Bambi Disney has his mom's brown hair and his late grandpa's brown eyes. All THREE of them look nearly identical! Bambi also rolled the Creative trait and the Artistic Prodigy trait like Baloo. BOO. Oh well, hopefully they'll have some more variety later in life.
If the house was bigger I might try for one or two more babies but we're stretched for space at is. Maybe next gen!
Now done with the baby thing Nora gets a few hours out on the treadmill to make sure she doesn't retain any of that pregnancy weight.
And Molly has managed to drag herself out from under the covers to continue on her game tournaments.
Archie here manages to complete his aspiration with this workout! Bodybuilder complete! I forget what I changed it to afterward, if anything.
BAMBI - Ouch! Mr. Monster-Pants! NOT COOL!
Bambi spent his first day of childhood playing with some toys.
When night came around he shared a bed with gramma, which I thought was pretty adorable. That way Molly doesn't have to sleep alone. :)
But look! WALT!!!
WALT - BOOOOOO!!!
ARCHIE - Oh hey, what's up dad?
What gives, Walt? Why're you ticked off? O_o
WALT - And that, Mr. Snuggles, is why you don't ask for the 'express lane' in the afterlife.
Apparently he needed to go into the nursery and take his frustrations out on the bear . . .
But after that all was right as rain and Walt got his boogie on for the rest of the night.
<3 Walt.
BAGHEERA - Quick, let's all wear the same expression so the Watcher can't tell us apart! Ready, GO!
BAMBI - Ok!
BALOO - *special snowflake doing his Ray Charles impression*
After confusing me the boys headed off to school together.
MOLLY - I was gonna eat this french toast, but I've changed my mind.
Oh COME ON! Seriously?! -_- Molly literally died the DAY AFTER WALT.
This was my general reaction to the situation.
I wasn't ready to lose my founders. And apparently neither was Archie.
ARCHIE - You can just GTFO Reaper-Creeper!
GRIM - Hey now, I'm just doing my job man! There's no need to get nasty!
*sigh*
I sent Archie out to the pool to blow off some steam and moved Molly out back to be with Walt. Come what may, Wolly will always stay together.
That's it for this installment, everybody! Tune in next time to see how the A-Gen handles losing the two biggest paychecks in the household. See the B Boys continue to grow and HOPEFULLY become a little more individualized from each other instead of the little clones they are now.
Until then, happy simming!
