2. Welcome back to my OWBC, where the family is large and I keep taking long breaks
between updates! The recap is of part 3.3, rather than the interlude ï
Last time, Onyx spawned the Quad Pod â Canary, Sunset, Inchworm and Cerulean,
Strawberry went on a date with Jonah Powers in order to get pregnant with baby no 2,
Oli grew into a toddler and was raised alongside his plant aunts and uncles, the Quad Pod
grew into adults and were turned into vampires before moving out, baby Patrick joined
the family and was named Bad Apple for the generation, Oli grew into a child, Strawberry
went on a date with Sanjay Ramaswami in order to get pregnant with baby no 3, the
family got a new servo named Mad Cat, Strawberry became Captain Hero and fulfilled
her LTW whilst simultaneously looking unimpressed by this, Patrick grew into a toddler,
Onyx spawned another plantsim baby just because I wanted him to have 10 kids â the
little boy was named Nettle, and all of the cousins who were old enough were invited
over to play ï
Thatâs just about everything!
And once again, thank you to Keika for donating her simself as the gen 1 spouse!
3. We open withâŠthis?!
Mad Cat stole a gnome! I didnât even realise it would be possible after all this time? The
gnome has been gone so long I donât even know what his name was!
All hail Mad Cat!
4. Apparently Mad Cat decided he would reward himself for saving the family gnome with a
nice, refreshing swim.
Yeah heâs not the brightest bulb in the light fixture, is he?
6. âHi! Weâve been married for ages but guess what? Iâm nice!â
Nice sims are honestly the cutest.
7. Grandpa Onyx literally teaches these boys everything.
Strawberry is a somewhat reluctant parent, meanwhile Onyx dotes on all of the little
ones.
8. Nettle makes my heart melt with his big eyes and cute lil face!
9. Baby time!
This is the last one Strawberry needs to have to fulfil the requirements of the challenge, I
donât think Iâll force her to have anymore after this.
If she has any now, itâll be ACRâs fault!
10. Welcome to the family little Craig Hart!
His father is Sanjay Ramaswami, if you remember.
11. Nettle doesnât get loads of attention, because heâs a plantsim and already knows
everything, but Onyx still wanted to teach him the nursery rhyme, which I think is sweet
<3
12. Itâs Strawberryâs first day as Captain Hero. You know, her lifelong dream. Sheâs literally
flying to workâŠ
And yet she looks bored?
Strawberry baffles me, she really does. Iâve never had a sim like her before!
13. This picture is mainly here because of the cute, but also because I think Patrick looks like
he might just be a clone of his father Jonah Powers.
Is that Strawberryâs nose? I canât tell!
14. If youâre ever looking for Keika, try the bubble blower first, bless her.
I can only give Keika 8 commands a day as sheâs a simself, but most of the time I let her
wander around doing whatever she wants. Itâs working pretty well so far.
15. This is how you drive if you arrive before your car does.
As Iâve said before, the lotâs getting very glitchy. Onyx waits in his car for an hour after
arriving, honking his horn and complaining that the driveway is blocked even though it
never is.
16. ââŠsomething is interfering with my circuit board.â
âMum, I think I can smell burning!â
Best birthday party ever.
17. Patrick grew up adorable, as expected, and into a football kit.
Just to remind you, Patrickâs the bad apple and completely uncontrollable. I wish him all
the luck!
18. Patrickâs first decision as a child is to take up a hobby â night swimming!
The pool is rarely used, so itâs kind of neat that he found it, but also school in the
morning is going to be rough for him, poor thing.
19. Strawberry wrote her novel for the Family Scrapbook bonus, and it was a bestseller. I
think the next heir needs to write one too to cross off this bonus, but Iâll double check at
some point
20. âTell me your dreams and Iâll grant you a wish!â
âI wish to stop smoking and sparking all the time.â
I think I had Mad Cat wish for peace of mind, but Iâm not entirely sure. Itâs been a long
time since I took these pictures, my bad.
21. Apparently the genie couldnât do much for Mad Catâs smoking and sparking. Some quirks
youâre just stuck with.
Heâs great with the kids though.
22. I think I attempted to get a wishing well some time ago, and after failing once gave up
completely.
Iâve had Onyx and Mad Cat working on the garden since the last update, fingers crossed
we can get somewhere with Attempt 2!
24. Looks like Patrickâs night swimming has started a trend â Oli even matched his swimwear
to his brotherâs!
25. Have I mentioned recently how much I love Onyx? Because I do. The guy is just a mess of
supernatural idle animations and I love it.
Anyway, time to see who little Craig takes after!
26. I think heâs a pretty cute blend of Strawberry and Sanjay!
Craig Hart
10/7/5/5/1
27. Itâs not just Craigâs birthday, though, itâs also time for Nettle to grow up!
Onyx looks mildly concerned â this is the last of his ten children to grow! I really canât
imagine him having anymore, but never say never I suppose.
28. Somehow, Nettle looks completely different from the other male plantsims Onyx has
spawned â Basil & Inchworm. He rolled Romance.
I love Nettle! Iâll keep him around for a little while longer. Heâs helpful!
30. And play pool for hours on end!
Too bad heâs not eligible for any kind of heirship, because he mastered the xylophone
trick pretty quickly.
31. The next day, Oli started a band with his grandmother.
Thereâs no cooler person to be in a band with, honest.
32. Patrick had a different form of entertainment to his brother â bouncing on the bed for
what felt like hours.
33. Nettleâs portrait was hung on the wall and he moved out, as I was getting a tiny bit
overwhelmed with sims at this point.
34. Strawberry fixing stuff is absolutely terrifying.
The one time she shows emotion and of course itâs pure rage.
35. âListen, kid, no one likes homework, but we all have to do things we donât like from time
to time.â
Strawberry has to do things she doesnât like almost everyday, like moving off the couch or
spending five minutes away from the karaoke machine.
36. âHave you thought about trying the wishing well, Strawberry? Iâd very much like to see a
relative get engaged before I go.â
âMum. Weâve talked about this. I jus t donât think marriage is for me.â
âI know, but just consider it. The wishing well is supposed to drop a personâs true love,
Strawberry.â
âIâll think about it, okay?â
Keika does keep rolling wants for a relative to get engaged. She would definitely like to
see her daughter settled at some point, I think. I also donât think itâs ever going to
happen.
37. Instead of wanting a date from the wishing well, Strawberry decided she wanted to be a
werewolf.
You know, as you do.
39. âDid someone turn music on?â
Itâs been so long since Iâve had to use the stereo to wake a sim up! Patrick really is one of
those bad apples who likes to stay up all night.
40. Craig doesnât look super interested in Keikaâs story.
And me? Iâm more interested in what Onyx is up to in the background over there.
45. The well chose Julien Cooke!
Heâs a bin sim I made into a townie. And I adore him!
46. This one kiss â which makes them fall in love by the way â was the entirety of their
romance. Seriously.
47. âHey Strawberry, want to hear about that time your brother
Lennon burnt dinner?â
âOh hot damn, this is the best time for juicy gossip!â
Strawberry decided to ignore Julian in favour of literally anyone else, which pretty much
decides it â Keika will not be getting her wish of a wedding any time soon.
48. Somehow, I think weâre out of time for fulfilling Keikaâs wishes.
ï
49. Little Craig does his best to get in the way and save Keika, but thereâs no stopping the
Reaper.
50. Keika was permaplat though, as a result of having (at least) 6 grandchildren. So sheâs
going to be pampered and highly rewarded in the afterlife, which is the least she
deserves after putting up with this lot.
That doesnât make it any less devastating though.
Also shout out to the hula zombieâs right arm on the left hand side of the image there. It
just amused me how I had a random arm in the shot when I looked back.
52. That very same evening, not even two hours after Keika was gone, it was time for a
birthday!
Oli looks happy that thereâs cake.
53. Gosh, doesnât he look like his father?
Oli rolled Family, his Turn Ons are make up and customer hair, but heâs turned off by
charisma.
54. âSad kachow ïâ
Yeah, it probably sucks having your birthday on the day a grandparent dies. Poor Oli.
55. Letâs see if we can cheer everyone up a bit. Theyâve literally all been requesting a puppy,
so I finally gave in.
I think Mad Cat is the most thrilled by the new family member.
âIâm going to love him forever.â
56. Itâs also super cute having a toddler and puppy interact <3
The new puppyâs name is Archie, by the way.
57. Time for one last birthday before we end this update â and Onyx has the honour of taking
little Craig to the cake.
âObligatory enthusiasm! Hooray!â
58. The last little hippie of the challenge <3
And thatâs all I have for this time! Iâm finally all caught up, so I actually get to play now
instead of just caption old screenshots â how exciting!
Hopefully it wonât be long before I have more of the Harts to share with you!
Until next time!
