silvereriena | The Picklesworth Legacy 6.5 + Heir Poll (Reply)

Man, I missed playing with these guys. And it's time for another heir poll!

After a couple of free days to Sim, I bring you: MORE LOVE AND CUDDLES. FLUFFY OLD MARRIED COUPLE LOVE AND CUDDLES. Bask in the happiness! Basssk in the rays of their pixelated adoration! *Rolls around on the floor*
... Well, that was fun. What else is happening?

James: I WANT TO MOVE BUT THERE IS DOG AND BROTHER???

Aaah, pathway blockage, my old nemesis. So we meet again.

Jay: Nyehehehehe, time to get my daily REVENGE!
Andreas: Why are so many guys angry at Mom?

Catalina: Bribe him to stop? But why do I have to do it?

Because you're the one he's having raging nightmares over, thrashing in his bed and screaming: "CATALINAAAAA" into the sea in his dreams. So 50 bucks it is!

Catalina: Look, here you go. Now please stop! My kids are getting suspicious.

Jay: Unnnffff! My hatred for you still rages on but dayum, are you still so sexy!

Now you take your conflicting feelings and go drown them in ice-cream or something equally sugar-filled and probably unhealthy in large quantities.

While Catalina dealt with spurned lovers, I got distracted by the cry of a child unable to get to something. Turns out Ivy didn't get on the schoolbus with her brothers because she was trying in vain to get to Dillon's mayoral podium cleverly stashed against the wall. I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS HOOKY.

What does one do on their day off but crank call their uncle? OK, maybe it's just Ivy but it's 3 seconds of entertainment, and a lot can happen in this game in 3 seconds.

Do Sims come over to the house if you crank call them? Because Dario showed up a few minutes later so I figured it couldn't hurt to invite him in. Family visits are my simming kryptonite. :D

Someone is taking after her grandmother, I see.

Ivy: Hugs, Uncle Dario?
Dario: Don't touch me anymore.

Quelle surprise.

Quelle surprise.

James brought this girl Shelly home and his family aspiration is just driving him to court like... well, like an awkward teenager. It's working like a charm! Shelly's eyes are scrunched with intense passion (and gas. Please?)

James: Teehee. Teeheehee. You're pretty.
Shelly: Oh God, I have to get out of here.

James: I'm cool. I'm totally cool.

Poor guy. His first rejection and he's trying so hard to reign it in. *Hugs monitor except not really because I just cleaned it*

Andreas: Ain't nobody in the hood sexier than this hot thing in the mirror! Rrrowwwr!

If I leave that boy with nothing in his queue, he will stand there all day preening. Although with his family genes, can you blame him? I see you in the mirror, cute family photo I took <3 Eeeheehee, that camera is the best!

Nigel: LOLOL I told the teacher Ivy had cooties and couldn't come to school.

This being the Sims, I wonder whether they would believe that or not. Now I just have to keep a closer eye on the kidlets when the schoolbus screeches to a BEEEEEP in front of the house.

... I really want to see what this painting looks like. Surely a painted clam would do fine with just the untreated oils?

THE JIG IS UP. *THROWS HANDS IN THE AIR IN SURRENDER*

Catalina: *Siiiigh*

PFFFFT. Masterpieces centered around giant-sized mollusks happily gambolling on foreign planets are a dime a dozen anyway.

After the disappointing shutdown of her illegal career, Catalina needed a picker-upper. That means a night out at a nice restaurant, her tongue exploring the host's moist cavern. Their heaving bosoms rub and grind against each other until they are moist with sweat, their fingers leaving tingling scrapes along the skins of their arms which break out in moist sweat.
Have I made you uncomfortable yet? ... Moist.

Actually, she's on a date with the gardener. It's rather like a soap opera, isn't it? Except for the fact that they're out in the open and pretty much everyone in town knows by now that Catalina Picklesworth has a changing room in the clothing store reserved just for her. BUT IT'S ALL GOOD! LTWs are worth it more than L'Oréal.

Gardener: BRAAAAAAP

Why did I get this man the lobster? :T Clearly, he does not deserve the lavishness of butter sauce.

Well, it is getting them somewhere fast. I'll just go with my made-up-on-the-spot-explanation that lobster is an aphrodisiac in the Sim world (but only when garnished with parsley).

Cesar is at work so I figured it'd be easier just to have them do the deed at home and WHOAH NECK BREAKAGE. GEEBUS, MAN. Assuming he survived his vertebrae popping like that, that's 19/20!

Look! Another occasion for sparkles to spontaneously appear from nowhere! The younger twins are celebrating Chocolate Cake Day! Which is January 27th, according to Google. But it's autumn in my game. Hmmm...

Well, the default cake is more like vanilla anyway.

Ivy is definitely growing into a lovely vision! :] She rolled Popularity and her LTW is to befriend 20 puppies and kittens OH GOD JUST KILL ME NOOOOW. Maybe she'll be the one getting a good grilled cheesing if she wins the heir poll instead
She's got the hots for fit, bespectacled men except when they're in formalwear.

Nigel simultaneously has my heart for being a handsome lad (comes from looking just like his mother) and my endless frustration at his having stubbornly pushed away all of his dad's genes. IF YOU ARE HEIR, YOU BETTER DAMN WELL HOPE YOU UNLEASH THOSE REDHEADED, BROWN-EYED, DARK-SKINNED RECESSIVE TRAITS ON YOUR LIL TADPOLES.
*cough* Anywhoser, he also rolled Family and his LTW is to raise 20 puppies and kittens. He likes grey haired, logical girls but hates hats.

The endless parade of scorned lovers really is endless. The roaches are back because I can't monitor the trash can 24/7, dammit! I have other squares of the plot to be looking at!

Catalina: OH MY GOD WHY MUST I BE ASSAULTED BY VERMIN

It's Saturday! This means it's an outing and since I haven't sent anyone to the park since Gen. 3, I figured it would be a good time to send them out to inhale some real, pine-scented freshness again. Mmmm, nature.

Ivy: MEEEEP WHEELS ON FEET.

D'ohohohoho. It makes for gratuitous slapstick comedy and I, for one, am not ashamed to bask in it.

They've turned it into a synchronized art! Or the latest dance craze, it's hard to tell.

James: LOOK! THERE'S A GIANT FACE BEHIND YOU STARING AT US
Lady: *GASP* WHERE!??

*Ducks under the desk*

If one could make friends by throwing a water balloon to the face as their first interaction, the world would be a friendlier place.

Nigel: SAY HELLO TO THE FAMILY TRADITION!
Virginia: NOOOO MY PRECIOUS BRAIN CELLLLSSSSS

Virginia: This is a very unattractive generation! I'll just have to wait for the next one.

..... God, you creeper.

Who knew that rollerblading gave Sims a fitness boost? Well, I didn't. Man, all of these little discoveries I'm still making about this game.

And then Jay was a huge show-off. Like I forgot about all of the trashcan kicking you did. >_____>

Back home, things are—

Amos: *COUGH COUGH HAAAAACK*

Curses. Blattariae strike again!

I give up. *Slinks on the floor face first*

Fine, keep playing with animals. See if I care if you contract something wackier than the flu. PFFFF
Oh, who am I kidding. DODGER IS TOO CUTE TO STAY AWAY FROM

Catalina: I know just what'll perk everyone up in this sickly time!

Catalina: Alright, it's really just a perk-up for me. But Boyd doesn't mind!
Boyd: ?

D'awww. The wide-eyed gaze of a man who knows not what he's getting himself into.

Y'know what? This is the last woohoo we need. I WILL MICKLES THIS ONE IN THE BUD. Wait, that's not right...

FFFF. Whatever. This ends tonight.

Boyd: Teehee! This is so secretive and exciting!

D'ohohoho. Like there isn't a weekly gathering here to watch a free changing room-shaking peep show.

What'd I tell ya? Gotta give the audience what they want.

Diana: This happens every time I want to buy clothes. :(

Well, the good news is that this is the last time it's gonna happen! Say hello to the newly permaplat heir!

Catalina: It feels so good to accomplish your life's work! :D

And her new LTW is to have 20 lovers AHAHAHAHA yeahno I'm done.

Now she can remain ever faithful to Cesar, who is still oblivious and perfectly happy and my God, they will never be able to go out together without the sky falling to the ground.

Now that Catalina's love life has finally become more tranquil, I can focus on getting some of the kids dates! Namely Nigel, who's been longing for a first kiss more than I've been longing for some quality havarti cheese (y'all don't understand how much I love cheese. LOVE IT).

Is that Shelly? Sorry I keep bringing you back into the family fold, luv. But surely you could give one of the other brothers a chance!

Nigel: *GASP* IT REALLY IS A GIRL RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Shelly: Sooo, can we go out for lunch now?

Scott: Oh hello there, Son-I-was-never-told-about. Would you like some sauce to cover your LIES and SECRETS?

Scott: Or how about our special of the day? It's a nice helping of "A PHONE CALL TO TELL ME YOU EXIST WOULD'VE BEEN NICE".
Nigel: Dad, now is a bad time.

Awkward first meeting, but it's a good thing they instantly know that they're family. Hahaha. Haha. Ha. ...Oi.

At least Shelly wasn't deterred by that rather off-putting family meeting. It's amazing how much Sims will ignore in the wake of 2-bolt chemistry!

Nigel: I may be a Family Sim, but I have fiery Romance ancestry, baby!
Teddy: UGH. Kids these days and their inappropriate public displays. This is a proper establishment!

EXCUSE YOU MAN WHO KEEPS MAKING OUT WITH HIS MOTHER EVERY TIME SHE WALKS INTO THE RESTAURANT. *Ruffles metaphorical feathers*

Teddy: The nerve of today's youth.

*Sputters uncontrollably*

None of the other kids are having blatant PDA so I guess it's all up to Nigel to affront the citizens of Simchelles with his uncontrollable urges to pucker in public locations.

Andreas: Don't care, still too sexy for anyone in this town!

James: Yeah, nobody can handle these guns!

Welp, guess I won't waste any effort getting these two dates, then.

I never knew dogs would stare at Sims while they were cooking! Man, EAxis, you're going for realistic in the smallest ways!

Uuuuuh... so you want to have a family outing?

I was right. This is a family outing.

Nigel: *Is very unamused*

Also Edmond and the robber who tried to break into the old house. I KNOW THIS IS A SMALL TOWN BUT COME ON, NOW.

Nigel: LOLOLOLOL you mean this guy is dating my vampire great-great-great-uncle?
Edmond: Don't you sass me, boy. *Slurps water viciously*

Some outing. All of Nigel's relatives skittered off so he was left with Edmond and the burglar.

Nigel: I, uh... I have to go home now.
Edmond + Burglar: *Creepy stares* But you just got here...

So things aren't any less scary at home, but at least you know you're wetting yourself because of family!

Nigel: Oh God, can I go in now? I don't want to rake leaves until the sun comes up!

Tough schnitzels. The gardener has been slacking on the job ever since we spoiled him with buttered up, crimson lobster.

Keith and Blanche will be your haunters tonight. Please fasten your zippers and make sure you have worn easy-to-clean undies.

Andreas: Meep! Don't look at me!

I won't tell a soul. *Zips lips(

Andreas: NIGEL HEEEELP MEEEEEE
Nigel: Can't hear you! Raking leaves lalalalalalalalalala

Catalina: I AM NOW FOREVER LOYAL TO MY HUSBAND

Must you undo all of your sons' hard work to declare this? :T

Aaah, whatevs. Catalina's just so happy she managed to keep her marriage intact (and so am I, dayum. I'm having a hard time juggling all the other scorned lovers!)

I need to fling James toward a willing pair of lips so I can get him a flamabgsrgskgtacular aspiration boost before college. He brought this nice girl home, and her name is... is... um. Is to be revealed in the sequel! *Shifty eyes*

At least she's a lot more responsive than Shelly. And she is wearing the loveliest kimono! Eeeeh, that shade is so pretty.

*Grabs tin whistle off the mantlepiece and plays a victorious jig*

I got Catalina another job as a clam wrangler in the Natural Scientist career. Because my game likes to be ironic, apparently. The clams take away her job and they give her a new one just as easily!

Sweet gummi bears, I hate when this happens. *head kisses desk* What do I do with all of these pining men?

There are no more men coming into the house, but there's always family dropping by for a short visit! This round it's Felicia showing her sister how to hang loose the only way a Sim knows how!

I didn't know there was another interaction with the swings! I found Nigel "chilling" on the swing, just sitting there and swivelling his bum left and right. Eeheehee, it's all so new!

Ivy: NOOGIE NOOGIE NOOGIE
James: Ow ow ow

James: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
Ivy: lolol Getting my kicks in before we go to college. :D

Yes, it is time to send the kids off to college! Catalina is about 4 days away from turning into an elder so I figured I'd give her a bit of time to remain youthful and fresh-faced and not silver-haired. Also HEIR POLL AHOOOY.

Aaaah, college. So much more fun IRL than it is to play in this game. But hey, llama mascot suits and secret societies! What more could you ask for during your post-secondary years?
