The Picklesworth Legacy 3.5 + Heir Poll

[silvereriena]

Much as I love Generation 3, we gotta keep this thing going!






Last time, John-Bob got the tar scared out of him by his grandma's ghost after saving Hugh from the clutches of death. He was so terrified in fact, that his feet shot straight through the chair. Now he's resorted to some extensive spinal exercise to eat his breakfast!




Mimzie: MMMMM gimme some of that green hunk of luuuurvw~

Bzuh? When the hell did this heart-farting over Hugh start?




Oh, well if you're going to show off your minty pecs during Normal Conversation Hour this suddenly all makes sense.




All of the kids have jobs because I want to cash in on that sweet, sweet scholarship money. Except not, because Anne-Marie did something stupid at work that I forgot to screencap and she got canned. In short: IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.




Blanche: Don't worry honey, all the women of this family get fired once in their lives! It's just in your genes!




Anne-Marie: WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!? BOOHOOHOOOOOHOOOOO

This is the best thing you can ever tell a fired Fortune Sim. Blanche's sensitivity score: -1000 and plummeting.




Anne-Marie: Don't try to make something of yourself in life, Gareth. You'll just be crushed by the big, shit-covered boot that is society.

You know what's fun? Trying to drag a fired Sim's social and fun bars back to non-crying levels.




Dillon showed up for his first haunting! I have no idea why he's weeping like a goddamn willow. He's permaplat, his bed is still here... I dun get it. Do ghosts usually cry at the spot where they died? :T Cuz this is the first I've seen this happen.




Sim Discovery #245: Servos can get frightened by ghosts. This might not be news to most of you but I've rarely played with them so I was surprised. *Clutches screwdriver close to chest in case of another Berserk!robot incident*




In better news: Guess which Shelley-esque poet just became a Celebrity Chef? AWWWW YEAH. TAKE THAT TIFFANY! HUGH AS CONQUERED DEATH AND THE IRON KITCHEN.




DOUBLE WIN! It's time to celebrate! *jig jig jig*




Hugh and Blanche celebrate in their own way. I don't know what's wrong with a good jig, though. I was gonna put on some Lord of the Dance and everything! I just need to steal Michael Flatley's shoes.




Gareth: I can burp out three colours!

A skill I'm sure will get you far in this world, BB.




Anne-Marie: Ugh, why is my little brother so gross?

Shut up, you were belching like a little belching machine when you were his age.




Man, I love the work outfits you get at the top of careers. You know you're evil when you have red balrog eyes on your boobs!




Mario Batali who? Bobby Flay whut? It's all about the Picklesworth, bebeh! Can you imagine him flipping his hair and pirouetting towards the secret ingredient table the moment he hears "ALLEZ CUISINE"?




Godiva also contributes to the money-making of the house. Look at all the extra limo space she doesn't need! Freakin' super star Sim pets being treated better than some of us real people. >___>




I also got Mimzie a job since now that the kids are older and either at school or at work, there's not much for her to do at home. Her LTW is to become Captain Hero BTW. *GASP* She can be like that super flying robot on that one kid's show on Sims TV!




Celeste: Teehee, I brought a cute boy home!

O RLY? Let us see his glorious visage.




DUSTIN BROKE, what are you doing out of Plesantview? Just kidding, this guy's name is actually Franklin. But I did do a double-take when he first came out.
I wonder if he gets that at school: "Hey, you kinda look like that famous Maxis pre-made guy! :D"




So I sent them out on a date to the local nightclub. Celeste is thrilled, thrilled that Franklin is turned on by facial hair. Don't start investing in any testosterone pills now, y'hear?




Franklin: Whoah, don't get so close man! *Actually fucking PUSHES HER FACE AWAY*

WHO DOES THAT!!?? D8




Celeste: But but but I really like you! Can't we dance? D:
Franklin: lolno

I GIVE UP.




Franklin: Your smooth beardless chin grosses me out!




Celeste was obviously not too happy about this. Watch out Franklin, don't keep your back turned for too long. I ain't responsible for what she might do!




Celeste: REVENGE NOOGIE!
Franklin: Noooooo my artfully messed haaaaaaiiiir




Celeste: I may have gotten rejected, but at least I'll always have booze!

YOU WILL DROWN YOUR SORROWS IN FRUIT JUICE LIKE A RESPECTABLE TEENAGER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.




I do feel sorry for her, poor bby. I can't believe I am sucking in my matchmaking this generation. Matchmaker lady, I have failed yoooouuuuuuu T______T




Anne-Marie: Here, pretend that my arm is Franklin's face!

I may have failed in matchmaking, but at least Anne-Marie is here to make her sister feel better. <3




Since it's the weekend, it's also time for a day trip! I'm sending all the kids to the park for some wholesome bonding. And look! Mimzie isn't the only Servo in the neighbourhood! *Town's cool points augment +1000*




Douchebag Dominic has a girl actually flirting with him? Does she enjoy getting joybuzzed? IS she titillated by having water balloons pelted at her? THE WORLD. IT IS FLIPPED.




No one cares because there are strangers on swings we have to push! It's a bonding experience that will last a lifetime.




John-Bob: Mwahahaha.

Initiating your little bro into the dreaded Water Wars, are you?




Diane: Hey, isn't your family the one who was mean to Dominic like, 30 years ago?
John-Bob: Who?




Diane: Take that, suckah!
John-Bob: AAARGGGH




Diane: Bwahahahaha!

Only another asshole could be attracted to Dominic. It all makes sense now! Birds of a feather and all that good old jazz.




Vacationie: Alright son, let me show you how we reel in our truckloads of salmon in Three Lakes!

If you can untangle your fishing line from the tree branches first.




Vacationie: *Epic fails*

OHOHOHOHO who saw that coming?




Gareth: *Scandalized* This is not a fish!

Nope! This is the park's natural ecosystem! The local drunken hobo probably stumbled in here at night and splashed into the pond, releasing his natural oils into the water. YOU'RE WELCOME.




Oh crud. I was so distracted by Gareth's fishing that I was too late to save John-Bob from swindles!

Unsavoury Charlatan: Why hello there! Judging by your green skin, would I be correct in assuming that you are the grandson of our dearly departed mayor?
John-Bob: Uh... yeah.

Run away, John-Bob! Don't get hypnotized by his endlessly twirling moustache! That's how all the change in your pocket disappears!




Charlatan: Tsk tsk, oh no no. The casual jeans looks will simply not do at all!
John-Bob: What's wrong with my clothes?




Charlatan: You must dress like you own the world! Haven't you ever thought of the glamour... the power that coud be mere inches away at your fingertips?
John-Bob: What power?




Charlatan: The power that will open all of the doors to owning the keys to the world, boy! Can you see yourself sitting on a golden throne with thousands at your feet? Can you see yourself walking on crushed rose petals wherever you go?
John-Bob: Not really...




Charlatan: Think about it! You must ride on the prestige of your family and rise higher than anyone ever will! You could go far! You could lie amongst the stars!
John-Bob: Okay...?




Charlatan: I'm glad you're taking my advice, boy. I expect great things from you!

*Clutches at face*




John-Bob: What just happened?

Your wallet vanished, that's what happened!




I clicked the "fisticuffs" option with ABSOLUTE GLEE until it became clear that John-Bob was losing against a man who should not be able to move so easily in a tux! Who did he get lessons from, James Bond?




Celeste + Anne-Marie: OH JOHN RINGO BOB NO
Lady in purple: Aw yissss I thirst for blood!




Well... can't say I'm surprised. :T And there go another $100.




John-Bob: Owwww, my delicate rumpus!
Charlatan: Nyeheheheeeeh




After the fight, the charlatan's eyes were stuck as a complete blank, leading me to believe that John-Bob managed to blind him somehow. This game be disturbing at times.




While John-Bob was sobbing somewhere, Anne-Marie decided that roasting marshmallows took priority over comforting her brother.

Redhead teen: Hey, mind if I join you?




Anne-Marie: OH MY GOD A CUTE GIRL IS TALKING TO ME, WHAT DO I DO?

Say 'yes'! I WILL get someone to have a successful teenage romance!




Anne-Marie: BUT I CAN'T FLIRT. ALL I KNOW IS HOW TO MAKE MONEY

Oh my God, just smile and nod! It is not that difficult!




Anne-Marie: MARSHMALLOWS ARE LESS SCARY THAN GIRLS *Gulp*

Too late anyway, she futzed off to hang out with other people. Where ma I going wrong?




Then some random lady tried to hug Anne-Marie but she was having none of it, lol. Woman in purple approves of near-jailbait interaction!




Back home, there are noogie wars happening. This is why you kids can't get dates! D:<




Anne-Marie: I can't BELIEVE that you got SWINDLED! Didn't EVERY single SIMOLEON BILL that disappeared feel like a piece of your SOUL was being TORN APART!?

Oh u Fortune Sims.




Anyhow, it's finally time for Gareth's birthday! He'll only get a few days as a teen because I have to get this generation going and they'll all be off to college by the end of this. He should be happy: 2 or 3 days only of raging hormones? The shortest puberty cycle ever? YOU CAN THANK ME LATER. :>




Gareth: Ooooh, edgy!

HAHAHAHA not for you, BB.




Much better. Gareth rolled Fortune and has the same LTW as Anne-Marie to have 6 pets get to the top of their careers. *Pokes that pouty Picklesworth mouth*




Gareth: I may be too old to burp in the podium but I can preen at the mirror! AWwW YISSSS look at me. I have the chest of a GOD!

Please don't pull up your shirt and take a photo of your abs.




Speaking of typical teen things, I got all the kids cell phones! Because it's silly to have 4 teens in the house and no cell phones.




John-Bob works at Wiener World, by the way. I like to think that Hugh pulled some strings for him, even though it is a shitty job. But that uniform, it's so adorkable, LOOOOOK!




And he brings a cute co-worker home! Bonus! I can't remember his name, but still: Bonus!




Co-worker: Your family is rich, you say? Lemme just write down my number here.




But the moment John-Bob makes a move, Co-Worker has his hands up in defence of his virtue!

Co-worker: Whoa, buddy! I don't think we're at that stage yet.




John-Bob: But I have a free hot dog for you! In my pants

Ewwwww. How can you possibly think that would worrr—




-rrrrk? WELP. Guess that convinced co-worker. YESSS FIRST KISS FOR SOMEBODY




Gareth: I brought a friend home!

Who is i— Aw, hell. RELEASE THE HOUNDS!




I tried to get him and Celeste to hit it off one last time, to no avail.

Franklin: Not even if you grew one hair on your chinny chin chin!




Celeste: HMPH I NEVER REALLY LIKED YOU ANYWAY

Good! Because it looks like Franklin would rather ogle your trash can.




Blanche: Come on, honey! You must glide on the wave of serenity!
Hugh: Eeek! No! The wave is too big, I can't!

Attempts to teach Hugh how to master tai chi: not looking too hopeful, there.




Hugh: Look, Mimzie! The leaves are turning a bright shade of gold this year!
Mimzie: God, I love you.




Hugh: Goodness, you've gotten so affectionate!

Seriously, she keeps wanting to hug him or interact with him autonomously every 5 minutes. I'm not certain I want to deal with this right now.




So I'm just gonna run away and take all the kids to college! Say goodbye to the house for now!




I'm moving them to a different dorm from last time. This one is nothing but brick and eye-gouging colours. What college freshman wouldn't want to stay in here? :D
