The Skittles Legacy 2.1

The Orange Generation is born and with it, the fracking difficulties of finding orange clothes for kids. So yeah, babies this chapter.
Pics: 117

Linda finally goes back to work as a playground monitor so we can, y'know, get the budget back to over $100 please.

Great, Linda. Just freaking great. You had to put the bullies in detention so they could inflict property damage, didn't you?
Linda: :'(

At least someone is bringing in cash. The thought of finally having money is too much for Soleil and she pukes out her nerves.

Soleil: So, how do you feel about adding new family members?

Linda: Hoshiz, I think I'm pregnant again!
Soleil: What a coincidence, about that adding family members thing...

Soleil: *POP* Nooo, I knew those doughnuts were the pastries of Satan!

Soleil: OK, now let's see what gender you are so the readers can stop wondering.
Pixels: *Cover sneakily*
Soleil: FRAMMIT.

Linda: Why yes, Wanda! Soleil and I are both pregnant! That means the entire population of Moon Islands will soon be five! We're just booming!

Aaaargh, toddler stage of doom approaching. Hold on to your hats, sparklepants!

Oh, darn. She would've been perfect for a yellow generation (yes, it's a girl. I'm sure you all knew; I'm bad at surprises). As it stands, off to the mirror with ye!

She's exactly like Soleil, only more orange.

Mandarine: Get me a bottle of the finest cow milk hailing from the mountains of Switzerland and topped with edelweiss petals, stat!

Yay! Linda's first pop!
Mandarine: Mommy... can't... hold in... bladder!

What is it with toddlers and that evil face when they're being taught to walk? It's like they think they're being shown the secret to world domination. And yes, I finally remembered to make my camera shots bigger.

Linda: Aaaargh! I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm hormonal and now the shower's broken and there's water on the floor, WAAAAAAH.
Stop complaining, you bunch of pixels!

Eeeeew. Your hormones are totally out of whack, Soleil.

Mandarine: Mommy! Watch how I skill! Watch meeeee!
Soleil: Look! Another baby on the way! We just go through these like hot buns!

FOR GOD'S SAKE, WOMAN. YOU'RE PREGNANT! GET BACK IN THE HOUSE!

Oh my God, those teeth! She's going to chew right through her sticks!
Mandarine: I didn't think of that! What a spiffy idea! >:D

Soleil: *GASP* What is Max Flexor doing with that garden gnome!?

Soleil: HA! He totally got caught! Wait... Is he getting closer?

Max: Stop watching me steal garden ornaments! That's a total violation of privacy! You also reek of bad cheese!

Geesh... It's embarrassing to see my founder be such a wimp. :/

Linda: Sexy? Why yes, that's what I see when I look into the mirror!

Soleil: AAAARGH!!! BABYYYYY!!!!
Linda: Do you mind? I need to use the bathroom. Shoo!
Mandarine: Is no one going to feed me my continental breakfast?

Linda: Waitaminute... She's having a baby! Holy crap! Not the one in the toilet, but-
Yes, OK. Please don't continue.

It's a girl named Autumn, and she is actually born with orange hair!

Mandarine: Does no one want to see me try to eat the notes?
No, there's a new baby to lavish attention upon now.

The Skittles have no money to build another room, so the girls have to share.
Mandarine: Remember, lights out at eight and don't bring any new plushies to your crib when I'm here.

Oh, great. Just sleep, it's all good. Not like anything's gonna burn or whatever.

Or maybe it will.
Linda: OHMIGOSH I MISSED AN EPISODE OF GLEE!??
That's the least of your worries!

Fireman: Sorry I was late, guys. I had to finish watching Glee before I came over. The Defying Gravity bit was just unmissable.
Linda: Oh, that's a completely legit excuse! I understand!
Soleil: What is it with this Glee show that's got everyone hooked?
Watch it, Soleil. Watch it. Live it. Love it.

Fire scares induce labor, people! Write that down.

It's a boy in this otherwise estrogen-filled home. His name is Tiger. Because I'm unoriginal and my other potential male names were just really stupid. :[ Orange is a hard color to work with!

Soleil: What are we going to do with another baby!?
I thought you were a Family Sim.
Soleil: Our finances are already in the red!
The more baby furniture spendings to torture you with.

Waitasec. Then what is with this want!? I see what you did there, trying to use reverse psychology on me! No moar babies! D:<

Still can't afford to build a new room, so Tiger has set up camp in the living room.

Soleil: Yellow butterflies! Their pretty wings distract me from my lack of finances! Free entertainment, huzzah!

Mandarine: Who are these people and why do they make silly noises?
That's right! We're getting a birthday!

Mandarine: I have grown! I can now study things other than logic, creativity and charisma!
Perfect! First new skill...

... Cleaning, biznatch.
Mandarine: Grumble grumble slave labor grumble.

Yes, I remembered to dress her in orange. But what's this? Another celebration?

Out one toddler stage and into another.

That hair is more red than anything. To the mirror with you! *sweeps away with broom*

Why no, they can't afford more orange toddler clothes, how did you guess?

That's right, she's a meanie. Watch out or she will use your shoes as a potty.

Soleil: Um, sweetie could you perhaps study somewhere else?
Mandarine: Um, mother, the bookcase is right there. Could you stretch your legs somewhere else?
OoOoOOOoooh... bratty.

Ah, sibling bonding. You can feel the love!

Soleil: Phew! Something smells like an upturned trash can.
That's YOU, you ridiculous piece of pixels. Go take a shower!

Hey, at least she doesn't spy on people like her mom. Shrubbery is harmless... mostly.

Mandarine: *cough cough haaaack*
I love when kids drink the bubble soap. I just point at them and laugh. :D

Mandarine: Remember when I learned how to walk? I was pretty great, eh?
You're gonna need some new material to impress them with, dear.

Autumn: Mommy, look! I can use the potty by myself now!
Soleil: *Yawn* That's great, hurrah I've totally not been through this before with your sister. Zzzz...

One thing about Autumn, she doesn't scream for Euro-style milk when she wakes up. She just sits in her crib and sings to herself. I think I have a favorite in the family.

Oh, right. I forgot about the one boy in the entire house. *Sparkle sparkle sparkle GROW UP*

Darn you, cloned personalities!

Soleil: I've heard the horror stories about you nannies, and I'm letting you know that I've got my eye on you. I'm in the police force, so don't try anything funny! My daughter here knows how to set up boobie traps!
Mandarine: I do?
Bluff, Mandarine! Bluff! You're doing it wrong!

Tiger at least knows that he must defend his home.
Tiger: *Projectile puke attack*
Nanny Kendall: My new tweed sweater! DX

The nanny gets her revenge by refusing to bathe Tiger, and that's how Linda found him when she got home.
Tiger: I blame this on you, Creator! You let this happen to me!

Linda has decided that shopping for clothes does not warrant proper clothing herself. Either that or her droopy eyes tell me she's sleepwalking.
Random Townie: I no longer feel safe at night. :|

Linda: Get me one of those lovely bottles over there. They match the color of my house!
Cashier: Just smile and nod, and whatever you do, do not make eye contact.

And then this happens when Linda is shopping. I get the feeling my game is trying to tell me she has canine tendencies.

Autumn: Tiger's a mutant! AAAAH! D8
Tiger: Naw, babycakes. I glow because I'm special. B]

Autumn calms her nerves by finding solace with the toilet. It's always there, taking in everyone's shit and never complaining.
Except for the three times it got freaking clogged.

Tiger: Hi, mind if I join you in the toilet play? :D
Autumn: I just remembered I had somewhere else to be.
Toilet elitist!

Close-up of Tiger in full orange. He finally got his own bedroom after his parents realized they should stop spending their cash the minute they get promoted on crap in their wants panel, like a fracking flower arranging table (it totally makes the house look nicer, though).

Mandarine: If I can no longer play the xylophone and we're too poor to buy an instrument, then painting is the way to go to release my creative spirit!
That's what she thinks, but I'm just making her paint the heir portraits. Huh, what? I only use Mandarine for labor? Where did you get that idea?

Hey, according to this, she's not without musical instruments, so no, I don't feel bad. :q

The girls seem to be getting along better now, although I'm not sure flashing your sister at such an early age (or EVER, really) is a good idea.

Mandarine: I got an A+! Look at meeee, I'm acing school!
You better, considering skilling is all you ever do.

Tiger: Oooh, those shoes are fabulous!
Is there any wonder Tiger's gay with the amount of estrogen always surrounding him?

Tiger: O hai.
Mandarine: Privacy violation! :[

Soleil, put the toddler down! You have that cap on, then you keep skilling, dammit!
*sigh* Family Sims.

Equal faces of euphoria! You don't see that very often with these two. Mandarine spent her time either teasing or flashing her sister.

Much more orange. Energetic shot! She does have 9 Active points.

Max Flexor is still pissed about being stared at through the telescope.
Max: You'll pay! You and your freaky kid who looks like a carrot gone bad!
Autumm: *INTENSE DISLIKE* :(
Hey, don't pick on the kids!

Despite all the studying she does, Mandarine has no clue how to use chopsticks. I am ashamed. That's the last time we order Chinese when no one has time to cook. It's Easy-Bake Muffins for you.

Autumn: We're sending you on a vacation to the Far East as soon as we get the money.
Mandarine: Money? LOL when have we ever had money?
It's sad when your kids grow up with low financial expectations. :(

Tiger: The sparkles... they're choking me! ARGH!

Ew. I never liked that grey shirt. To the closet with ye, laddie!

FINALLY. YOU'VE BEEN PESTERING ME WITH THAT WANT FOREVER! I AM TOTALLY GOING FOR THE GOLD BADGE BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF.

Tiger: I throw balloons at your affectionate moment!
Who is he talking to, you may ask?

Why, to none other than Autumn who has been a kid for 2 days and already has 2 friends. The girl is just popular, and totally makes up for her sister's lack of social interaction with people her age.

Although if she keeps bringing this girl home, I will have to do something. Stop jumping on the bed of your friend's parents! D<

A little thespian. Why am I not surprised?

Linda: GRRRR...
The Skittles are not done harassing Max.

I mean, look at the relationship + wants panel. All because he won't let them watch him steal lawn ornaments! D:

Mandarine: Books are the perfect companions!
I love books too, but for God's sake, girl! Bring a friend home just once!

Soleil and Linda have some reacquaintance sex. But no more babies, plz. Your bank account is low enough.

Mandarine: Do the electric chair! Come on!
That girl has a twisted sense of what's fun.

Autumn: I got an A+ report card, Mom! Look!
Soleil: Oh yeah? I got promoted to detective! Beat that! Ha! You can't, because you're just in SCHOOL!
:/ I shake my head.

Autumn is still befriending everyone at Sim City Elementary.

And Tiger is catching up fast. He's currently rehearsing for the new school play, The Ladybug King. He's totally the lead.

Tiger: All hail me, the Ladybug King! My power is great and er... line?

Girl who inappropriately jumps on beds: Pssst... Your line is: "I forgot my sword!"

Tiger: Right, thanks. AAARGH I FORGOT MY SWORD! O, the shame! My anguish knows no bounds!
I want him to win an Oscar. :D

Linda: *GASP* Why do you get the book with pictures?

You never learn. :/

Linda: Teehee! He's going after the flamingoes now! The flamingoes!

Mandarine: It's my birthday! What should I wish for? More knowledge?
How about a social life?

Mandarine: This clothing is comfortable and practical! Perfect to go exploring in the woods!
No, it's not orange dammit.

Much better.

Please let him go on Broadway. He's so adorable. :D

Soleil in her SWAT team uniform is smokin'. I'd totally tap that. And apparently, so would the mailman.

Mandarine: Yes, that's right. I'm an overachiever. I have straight A's, and I'm at the top of my job.
Autumn: Wait, what is your job?

*snickers* I'd totally keep that a secret too, Mandarine. Even her smile is forced.

Yaaaay! Birthday of Autumn who's amazing and skills fast and... *cough* Favoritism? I have no idea what you're talking about.
