The Triplets and Twins!



I finally have the sim files ready to be shared, at least for some of the second generation kiddos. The second set of triplets hasn't been boxed up yet, but I plan on getting to that.

I'm not going to list traits because those can easily be changed.

Their skin is by Jack's Creations. There's a link in the credits tab on A Story With No Title.

Genie triplets of Erin and Bryce:

I'm not positive which hair that is, and I don't feel like looking it up. I just know I like it.

I think that's a store hair.
CC hair.

Witch twins of Erin and Jesse:

I may have Zeus and Sid packaged as teens. I'm not sure.

Here's another picture:




By the way, I'm not going to release Erin, Bryce, and Jesse.

If you're going to use them anywhere, let me know. I'd be interested to see what they get up to!

2.11: A bald Bryce?


I've been experimenting with debug enabler. I've had to reset and restart my saves several times because I keep deleting stuff accidentally. For instance, the bookshelf disappeared, screwing up an opportunity for Bryce even though he was holding the book in his hand at the time. Oh, and it "cleaned up" several relationships in my neighborhood. Which, ...means everyone is divorced. I'm so pissed off, but I can't remember exactly when it happened, so I've kept going, making sure that I've TURNED OFF it cleaning up relationships. I realize that was probably overwatch, but it only started happening when debug enabler was put into the mix. Debug enabler fixes my sunken sims, but my problems just change forms.

Anyway...on with the show!

Larry calls up Natalie and asks her out. They go to the beach! And he... swims in the ocean the entire time! Stupidest date ever.

A dragon egg at the beach?!?!?! Oh. Hm. But, well, my dragon eggs are bugged. They've never worked. Oh, I know I'm supposed to delete my cache, reload the file, etc, but I just don't care that much. I'll fix it later.

Bryce goes to visit Erin and company. This is Mr. Pickles enjoying the bed I got for him last time Natalie visited. I've been periodically buying pet junk for households that have pets so the poor things don't have to starve, living off food they've begged for. Mr. Pickles looks happy as long as they don't rudely wake him up. Sorry, man, that's gonna happen A LOT in that house.

The teens are all at another prom, and the time comes for Bryce to age to mature adult.

He ages up into his word duds. Then... I look at his thumbnail. Wha?

A BALD Bryce? no no no.

That's better, even though he closed his eyes for this pic.
I still think it's odd that his skin looks like that in CAS.

Aw. Hi, Sid! /waves @ Sid.
The teens get home from prom.

Bryce had originally gone over to the house to chat with Jesse, working on the friendship thing still, but when Erin comes in, that gets forgotten.


During prom, Natalie gets romantic with some red skinned, red haired dude named Johnny Delaney. He'll show up later, and man, is he uuuuggggllllyyy. Just saying. Poor guy.

Natalie has a naughty rep. Well, is it my fault if she's gonna have a romantic interest that also flirts with anything that moves (Larry) and then someone gets flirty with her at prom? Humph. People handing out 'reputations' like they think they have a right to do so. Mmmhm. Y'all go on about your own lives, and leave my sim alone! :P

The full moon begins, and the phone on the wall rings for the first time ever!!!
*Twilight Zone music*
This can only mean someone is about to die or is dying.

Please not Jesse! Please not Jesse!

Bryce: Relax. It's just Martin Eames.
Natalie: Who's that?
Bryce: No idea.

Actually, I think Bryce either works with him or he's a client. Either way, it's funnier to have Bryce say no idea. Or, should I say worked with, if he worked with him. He died.

Ben: Hi, Natalie!

Nat has a wish, I think, to make friends with Ben, so she invites him over.

And this is a really bad place to end a chapter, but this is where this bunch of pics stops.

Edit in after-the-fact: Huh. This is the 3rd chapter in a row that has a question mark. Interesting.

Big Daddy 5: I like to punish myself



Why worry about going out and trying to get in extra money for the hot tub and/or future child support payments? Nope. Let's learn to ice skate!

Bonehilda thinks very hard a 'Happy Snowflake Day!' to Sid.

I throw a party because I like to punish myself.

Pregnant Mercedes gets coal!

Sid gets...

...mistletoe. Well, he kind of has mistletoe to thank for the reason he's alive in the first place, since it was that that finally brought Jesse and Erin together.

The party keeps going. People unwrap presents. Most of them leave after they do. That teenager dances the smustle near the present pile. Sid asks Kerry about his son he's never met.

Mercedes opens another present.

She likes this one better.

Then, she does her 'good party, I'm gonna go now.... whoa.'

She goes into labor!
I direct Sid to take her to the hospital.

She drives. /rolls eyes.

Sid is with his baby mama when they welcome a little baby girl into the world.

Charlene.

Sid rides with them back to Mercedes's house.

Sid: What happened to the big house by the sea?
Mercedes: He kicked me out and took the house.

Sid feels a rare sense of guilt. He buys Mercedes a crib and a swing.

He offers to take care of Charlene for a little while.

Cutie pie.

I went into CAS, unable to stop my curiosity.

Charlene

Big Daddy 4: Giant glob of white stuff



I forgot to mention last chapter that Sid got another promotion to level 3 @ 32/h and a bonus of $324. Nice wage for a substitute teacher.

At first, I'm like, 'who is Mimi Luck?' Then, looking at the last chapter, I see she's the woman that Sid noticed in the park after getting Salina's forgiveness.

I'm not sure who this is. I can't find where I wrote her name down. It might be Mimi; it might not. All I know is that Sid calls her over and over again to get her to come over, and she's always saying that she can't right now, call back in x hours. Grrrr.

He gets his Bonehilda. Can she be called a live-in maid if she's not technically living?

I honestly have no idea why I took this picture. Perhaps here is when he got the letter from Mimi.
Carry on...

This is Salina Moon in her outdoor wear, unable to get out of her head how Sid 'cheated' on her.

Karen doesn't hold anything against him...

...at least any grudges.

Kerry... pretty sure she's already preggers since I didn't have my 'rule' totally locked in yet. Oh well.

Wow. That bad, huh? Oh sure, it's easy to blame the woman.

Mercedes third visit. Try for baby=chimes. FINALLY.

He finds a cockatoo and makes him his pet. He names him "Mr. Feathers." He hopes Mr. Feathers can help him pick up chicks. Uh...wrong pet there, Sid. Those beaks can get scary.

Ignore the giant glob of white stuff. I took this pic to note that he got this dishwasher for free from being a celebrity.

He gets a raise of $5/h.

I wonder if this dog is looking at Bonehilda and wondering how he can take her apart to bury her bones in different spots. hehe. "No, I don't want a treat! Give me your femur!"

Sid gets asked out via the phone by someone named Courtney Savage. I have no idea who she is, but he says yes and then heads to... the criminal hideout.

He gets there, and this Courtney person is nowhere to be found. So, like his father before him, he decides to play with his stick.

Unable to stop himself, he goes and flirts it up with whatever ladies he finds.

He gets a pop-up saying, "Sorry. I got caught up on something." Courtney didn't show.

He gets a promotion to level 4. $43/h and bonus of $444. all those 4's....

I can't remember who this woman is, but Sid works with her. They're attracted to each other, but every time he invites her over, she says she's at work. I'm like, 'Uh, no you're not. You're a substitute teacher, and you stop work at 2pm.' Whatever.

Bummed out by being repeatedly turned down from his coworker, he calls Karen Kernan over. This is her 3rd visit....

Chimes!

With 3 women preggers now, Sid gets multiple wishes to buy all kinds of baby crap that he won't need.

Random: This 'hood has a black unicorn. Cool.

THE FIRST CHILD IS BORN!!!!
Kerry has a boy she names Duane.

Before too long, this town will be filled with little Sid spawn. It looks peaceful now, but just wait. Just. Wait.
