Picklesworth Spare Mini-Update 11

[silvereriena]

In my quest to age up the cousins approximately alongside the main kids, I bring you another spare update!





We return to the house of the elder spares, where every day is spent in peaceful contemplation.




And some rather disturbing voyeurism, because Naomi just COULD NOT WAIT until her brother was done with his deuce-bombing.




Andreas, James and Shelly drop by to visit their older relatives like the dutiful Sims they are. Shelly is especially keen on making a good impression so Diana was more than happy to fill her in on the family's long and prestigious history.

Diana: No, seriously! Your mother-in-law was in that changing booth more often than she was in her own house! THE SECURITY CAMERAS HIDE NOTHING!




I pretty much leave them to their own devices and they are surprisingly better adjusted than the Generation 3 spares. Because with them it was all: "I SET THE CHILI AFLAME" and "TWO SOCIAL BUNNIES!?? HOW WILL I EVER DIVIDE MY TIME" but these guys are managing just fine for some reason. ARE MY SIMS PERHAPS EVOLVING!??




I also gave them a few fruit trees to care for because elder Sims + gardens = a tickled pink me. :D




Also: a fireplace! I don't put enough of these suckers in my game because I never can find the right spot to put them. Lucky for these guys, I just repainted and refurnished a pre-made house. Sadly, my desire to put effort into building seems to be more focused on my in-progress Prosperity hood as opposed to this one. We'll make do! *nod nod*




Franz: YOU KIDS STOP SPYING ON MY LAWN

It's good to know that there will always be a green Picklesworth about. <3 (Forgotten to give Franz back his vampirism? Moi? WELL I NEVER. *shifty eyes*)




But here, have a shot of the last green descendant this family will probably ever have. Geoff and his lips of love are still looking Mai-Tee Faaaaaine.




Over at James and Andreas' house, there are first steps being taken! The children are all aglow with faith, trust and pixie dust! Or smart milk, if you really want to take the fun out of it.




So, to recap: James and Patricia had girl triplets. This one here is Heidi, the only one to inherit black hair.




Little Cyane, who is either constipated or simply very aggressive when the camera is on her. WHAT A DARLING




And Emilia, who's totally going to win all of the debate awards at school. WATCH OUT, WE GOT AN ORATOR UP IN HERE!




Patricia: Damn, but I make some cute babies.

That you do! I'm actually shocked two of the girls managed to get their grandpa's blond genes. Shocked but pleased as peach pie done with an old fashioned two-way crust!




Since this is a spare update, we get to skip right on over to childhood. *Rupaul voice* Bring me my girls!




Cyane: *GASP* My hands are bigger!

Indeed. Try not to stick them in dangerous places.




Heidi reminds me a lot of her great-grandpa Amos. And the continuation of thick lips just keeps on trucking!




Last but not least, lovely Emilia! <3




First things first: COPS AND ROBBERS OBVIOUSLY. Not like this family hasn't been burgled 4 times or anything.




Cyane: Lalalala, what a nice evening!

Uh...




Cyane: Mom! Dad! Uncle Andreas! Watch me do a backflip!
Andreas: WOOHOO!
Patricia: *Flashes everyone in the vicinity*

... I CAN'T BE ARRESTED FOR POSTING THIS RIGHT???




Andreas: GOOD LORD WAIT, THEY'RE NAKED AND TUMBLING *Impales self into door in shock*
Cyane: Oh really? I didn't notice. :D




Yeah, guess what that little public display resulted in? I WAS NOT PLANNING ON MORE SPARE BABIES FOR PIDDLE'S SAKE.




Poor Patricia ran to the bathroom every five minutes. This is gonna be one tough bebeh.




Patricia: I'm pregnant and nauseous and exhausted and you're making me slave over lobster?

Hey, I'm not the one begging to throw all of my kids into a prestigious academic institution. You'll thank me when it's over!




Did I mention James was a playground monitor?

James: Hi, girls! I'm so glad I got to spend quality time with you during recess! Hope you had fun! Except you Heidi, I saw you put sand in little Billy's shorts you are in so much trouble

Can you imagine seeing your dad at the school playground every day? I would've just sought refuge in the library or something.




Heidi brought her cousin Mirabelle home from school and... well, let's just say that 1 nice point is a family heritage.

Heidi: HEY! I demand a rematch from our catch game earlier today. That totally was an unfair throw!
Mirabelle: LOL K.




Mirabelle: EEEEEP.

That's another family tradition! :D It's good to see that some things never change even after hoodsplosions. *Wipes away tear*




Heidi: I'm just doing my ancestors proud!

You little shit, you. <3




Heidi: Hey, Mr. Headmaster! Do you like the lobster? Do you want more? I can get you another plate. How about some extra butter? With lemon maybe? Is that seat too uncomfortable for you?

OMG GIRL GO AWAY AND LET ME WORK MY SCHMOOZING MOJO




Ahem. Thank you.




Yes Patricia, I haven't forgotten! *Siiiiigh*




At least there are people in the house who are excited at the prospect of more little'uns. As long as I don't get stuck with another tripletpalooza, I'm good!




And I do so love the tykes in this family. You've got some very big cute shoes to fill, future baby.




I wanted to get Andreas a nice date so he could get a bit of action, so here he is screeching with glee as a weird swirly orb works its magic...




Is that... Is that Colin? ONCE REMOVED IS NOT A DISTANT ENOUGH COUSIN RELATIONSHIP FOR ME OKAY. I HAVE BEEN HAD!




Here, have some nice, wholesome family catch instead.




I'm not quite sure why I took this picture, other than Mirabelle's consternation looked rather hilarious and Emilia seems to be struggling with her feelings on whether sumo wrestling is worthy of her praise.




Patricia: EXCUSE MEEEEEEEE

Oh, right. Push away!




Another girl, Anne. There are only 2 boys in this whole generation, and this now means that Catalina has a total of 9 grandchildren across the board. Holy geez, I don't know how this happened. O___o




We now move on to Nigel and Shelly's house! Take a nice look at little Alice because she's about to age up!




Just give her a moment to find her balance and she'll be spurting in no time!




So... so gorgeous! And she even got her grandpa Scott's brown eyes!




Alice: But why can't I go to private school like my cousins?

Because it's not in your parents' wants panel and therefore I am not putting in the effort. A lazy simmer is I!




Well now you're trying to guilt me with your sadface. I won't do it! I'm not calling no headmaster again!
... I'll consider it in the next spare update.




By the by, Nigel is a security guard on the graveyard shift. He's got the hallowed halls of malls to protect!
I once read this story as a kid about a kid who spent the night in a mall and I really wanted to try that out because it sounded AWESOME. Alas, that dream never came to be.




Even though he comes home super late, Nigel never fails to go into his daughter's room and tuck her in once he's back. Heartwarming, n'est-ce pas?




Then he got a promotion and got to come home earlier and d'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Who needs marshmallows when this can give me cavities?




I leave you with a picture of this gorgeous townie whose lips may very well make their way into the family if I can help it.

Well, that's that. I'm currently apartment-hunting which is exhausting and bleh so I quickly whipped up this update as a de-stresser. Enjoy the rest of your week, folks!
