Part 3: Adventures-in-Law
1. So, Iâm back! You arenât going to get rid of me that easily. I will say this right up front. I made a mistake and thankfully someone called me on it before I got too far. So hereâs your tip for the day, peeps, there is no shame in making a mistake even when you should âknow betterâ it happens itâs all in what you choose to do with it. And in the case of the challenge, I am doing this for fun. That is the most important thing. I screwed up, I will even tell you what I did when I get there and I did what I could to fix it. Also, since I am doing this for fun and not for storytelling purposes, I am going to shoot for one or more lifts per chapter. Letâs get started shall we?
2. Last time Babs, our heir, aged up and immediately wanted to get married. Too bad for her, I have other plans. Iâd been having Eye Candy check the paper everyday to see what the first job was. If it was a Uni Job, he composted it immediately. If it had Law, Criminal or Adventurer, I was going to have him save it. Only one career came up in that time that was on that list. Adventurer. So guess what Babs took? --- Meta Time! You can hold newspapers with the jobs you want first in your inventory and they donât go bad. However it doesnât always work. Iâll get to that later. But they do count for the number of newspapers on the lot. So unless you donât want to get a paper, use this sparingly.
3. After finding a job, Babs immediately took her post adult sponge bath.
4. âI think we should get married, Howard.â âWhat? Are you nuts?â Babs sighed.
5. âPlease, we canât keep avoiding this. Plus, I promise to be a good wife to you. Even though we only have one bolt and you inexplicably have three bolts with my mother.â âWell when you put it that wayâŠâ âYes?â
6. âI think I do love you.â âHey, Son-in-law, Call me later when you are done schtupping my daughter.â âHow about we go somewhere more private?â
7. âOw! That doesnât go there!â âDamn parking brake!â âOh Howard!â âOh Babsâ âOh Shut it down there!â âSorry Mom!â
8. âSo now that weâve woohooedand I heard a lullaby, I guess I should make this official. Eye Candy will you consent to be Mr. Doran?â âOh my gods, where did you pull that thing from and how did you get it in an apocalypse.â âUmmm⊠I had some time while I was not going to school as a teen.â âOh. Well I donât really want to know.â âSo is that a yes?â
9. âItâs so shiny.â âAnswer me, Howard! I feel those pregnancy hormones coming on.â âYes. Of course I will. Itâs what I was moved in for, after all.â
10. âDonât mind me, kids. Just stalking through to sponge bathe at the sink and ogle Eye Candy.â âDo you mind, Mom? I am trying to get married here.â
11. âYou thought I was kidding? Iâd stop with the newlywed dance unless you want to get an eyeful. Although you donât have to leave, son-in-law. I wouldnât mind if you looked.â âMo-om! Come on, Howard! Letâs go to bed.â
12. âYour loss. I am one sexy elder if I do say so myself!â
13. âPlease tell me this was all a bad dreamâŠâ Sorry Babs. âCrapcakes.â
14. So Babs began her way up the Adventurer career ladder. She knocked out Ambassadorâs Intern.
20. And the headless heiress was born. Sheâs got red hair and dark blue eyes. Her name is Shayeraafter HawkgirlShayeraHol from Justice League.
21. Welcome to the conception of the unauthorized spare. Family simBabs doesnât even want one, she does want to BFFs with Jean though, but actually want a kid⊠No. So thank you ACR⊠I love you too. In the spirit of the challenge, I have it set to try for a baby every time a simwoohoos. And well you know my luck. So now there are seven sims and one on the way. Guess what that meansâŠ
22. If you guessed Christy gets teleported to the Death Spot, take a drink or give yourself a prize. I prefer the first one.
31. âNo really. Fading fast! Must not go into the light.â Go to the light! Go to the light!!!
32. âDead simsurrounded by a moat⊠Renee? Ben? Doc? Gin? Is this you again killing off sims?â Um. No. Itâs me, Lark. Sorry about this. Youâll be seeing a lot of me⊠âIâll clear my calendar.â ----- Renee = Cowforbrains notorious sim killer and writer of a lot of legacies I havenât read. Ben = Blite87 writer of the 10 Caesarâs Legacy which I am told is very bloody. Almost like real Rome. Doc = DocSupremeNerd writer of the VetinariDualegacy and killer of Oddly-hot spares and more. Gin = GintasticNecat writer of The Science of a Legacy which isnât that bloodthirsty however sheâs here for her turn at BoolProp Round Robin Legacy where she killed a whole town. Enough with the giving credit. On to more death.
33. So we bid adieu to our first gen spouse, Christy. She took with her the cowplant that I never placed and three random TVs that she had earned through Apartment life networking. We shall miss the sim you were before you started stalking your son-in-law.
35. And then in typical sim ADD, went on with their lives.
36. That doesnât mean she wasnât missed. Jean missed her. âYou killed my mom!â Iâm gonna kill you too. âMeanie!â Necessity is a harsh mistress and so am I.
37. Although I did feel a little bad for Xavier. He was a good husband to Christy and for a time she was a good wife. But I need him, and I donât need her. So whatâs a player to do?
38. âStupid creator! Stupid Flamingo! Just for this I am going to do something really embarrassing later on!â What? âI donât know. But Iâll think of something, just you watch.â What about your 10 nice points? âUh⊠Oh Yeah? Well can I fall in love with Eye Candy?â No.
39. âDo you think my getting pregnant had to do with why Mom died?â Yes. Okay folks itâs time to move on!
40. Which they did. Jean is cementing herself as a brat going around shocking poor pleasure sim Wally.
41. And Babs pops into her first trimester. See Xavier in the background. Itâs Tuesday morning. Heâs out of meditation to get his needs attended to. Heâs got something important to do.
42. Invite these doofuses over. I am not taking any chances that Babs and Eye Candy wonât fill up another spot. So we are moving the spouse in now. I had Xavier ask each of these boys what their skills were and then picked the one that had the best skills for Paranormal.
43. âHa Ha, Elton! You lose!â âDamn.â Elton here is a popularity sim with the lifetime want of being a media magnate. However he did not have the right major for paranormal. Nope, Eye Candy 2.0 here has a degree in Mathematics.
45. And then peruses the paper for a career. No paranormal, well not first (it was 3rd). But Criminal was the second career offered so he took it.
46. One point in 2.0âs favor is that he is already friends with Regina here. Yes I still love her.
47. And I love her even more now. She is a Celebrity Chef. Can we say insta-lift?
48. And if you ever wanted to see what a Tuesday gathering looks like, here you go. Hanging out around the snapdragon while some people skill. The family is up to 34 friends⊠Can we get more?
49. However, Eye Candy 2.0 was busy elsewhere. Probably not smart to do that in front of your future wife. âSheâs a baby. She wonât mind.â
52. If you had any doubts about Elton here being Eye Candy 2.0 please note the underwear he transitioned up into. And there is reason this is never going on the exchange!
53. That night, Shayera transitioned into a toddler. Is it just me, or is she eyeing Wallyâs jugular a little too intently.
54. Despite her bloodthirsty tendencies, the family loved her. Shayera is a Sagittarius with 7/3/8/7/3 Where did the neat points come from?
55. Early Thursday morning, right after Jean left for school Babs went into labor with the unauthorized spare.
57. âOh gods another girl to worry about.â âAnother girl I might have to marry!â âWould the mantie brigade just shut up!â
58. âHere take Koriandâr so I can go to work. The damn car wouldnât let me until I gave birth.â âYayBaby!â âStop talking about my husband, Daddy!â âAwwwBabs!â âLater.â
59. âIâm home! I never have to wear this horrible outfit ever again!â
61. And now Eye Candy will be forever happy. Heâs earned $100,000. Doesnât he look happy?
62. I would like to introduce you to my own slice of hell. See this. This is Eye Candy and Babs trying for a baby in a full house. Watch me frantically scour my hacks and downloads folder for a larger household hack. I had one in for my turn at the BoolProp Round Robin Legacy, but I yanked it for my Bachelor challenge and for my OWBC. I checked using the Clean installer, nothing. I put the hack in and then ran the Hack Conflict Detection Utility, Nothing. I pulled it again and then went through all of my folders by hand looking for it â this is over 13,000 files â and nothing, So panicked, I messaged Rose going âHELP!!!!â With possibly more exclamation points. She soothed me and asked to make sure that the hack wasnât in there. I canât pull ACR without some serious repercussions to my OWBC hood which is honestly way more important to me. So I was stuck.
63. Luckily for me, Babs rolled a 97% out of 80% for her actual pregnancy chance and the crisis was averted. For now. Donât look so smug guys, you wonât like it if you get pregnant.
64. âI already donât like it!â --- Meta time! Apparently high landscaping doesnât stop ghosts just living sims. Good to know. I can level that area and have more space for graves later.
65. Since I only have one baby blanket and Shayera is using it. Kori here spends a lot of her time on the floor. Thatâs okay, babies gain fun from the floor. Oh and before you say the baby blanket is cheaty, it isnât because of the space restrictions. You have to have the six surrounding squares open before the toddler will lie down on it. And you cannot place a toddler on the blanket manually, they have to do it themselves. So really the thing eats up 8 squares. Two for itself, the two in front, the two on either end, and the two on the diagonal. There are times I wish I had placed a crib. It would have been easier and more space efficient. Oh well.
66. I think Eye Candy and Eye Candy 2.0 donât like each other much.
68. Nope. They really donât like each other. I think itâs because Howard knows that Elton is going to marry one of his little girls.
69. And 2.0 also stole the family pants. I have decided that for no apparent reason that all of the male spouses have to wear Xavierâs buckle pants.
70. âOh gods, I am starting to feel old.â âWhat do you mean starting? You are old, Pops.â âDonât call me âPops!ââ âWhy, youâre starting to look a little grey, Daddy-O.â
71. âHe was lying. Iâm not going grey. Still red and delicious. Oh Iâll get that bastard. Make him suffer like Iâve suffered.â
73. I like to call this slide Eye Candy pile up. If only Xavier were in here would it be complete.
74. Everyday, I have 2.0 check the paper for a job in Paranormal and so far no dice. However, this paper has The Law first. It is too late for me to have Babs take it she is already on level 6 of Adventurer. That would be stupid. However I had Elton put it on the ground to put in Wallyâs inventory.
79. So here is our spare, KoriandârDoran. She is named after the real name of Starfire from Teen Titans and she does have the ears. She is a Virgo and her stats are 10/5/7/4/9. Where did the neat points come from!!!!
80. To add to the slew of birthdays, Wally also aged up. Heâs still quite the cutie.
81. And he took the job in Law, like planned. Ahhh Law, the lift that does nothing other than open the way for more lifts.
84. This is about where I was at when I was told I screwed up and that I shouldnât have stocked the fridge. Oops. Mea Culpa. So here is my first attempt to fix the problem. Jean here, yeah she teened amidst all of the other birthdays I just didnât care to show it, is giving this random Capp guy the old fridges. Then she bid goodbye to him and we bought a new fridge. Problem, it still shows the fresh food. Which means it is attached to the lot. Okay solution 2 â make food then wait for it to go bad before eating it. There is a chance of death from food poisoning if you donât take care of the sim and the food loses any benefit it had from the fresh food if it is spoiled.
85. âMommy, Mommy! We got a new fridge! Itâs Orange.â âThatâs nice. Mommy doesnât eat anyway.â
93. And 2.0 is slowly and surely knocking out Criminal. Despite not having much in the way of appropriate skills. Which stinks. âNo, thatâs just me.â Funny.
94. Do you know how many long hairs there are that donât hide the ears and that arenât up-dos? Youâre looking at it. And it is still an up-do. But Kori just screams girly girl at me. âNice girls donât scream.â
95. Wally continues to have unfortunate car pool injuries. But he is such a trooper that he just goes to work without complaint.
96. And he even comes home with promotions while stinky and a smile on his face. I really love this sim.
97. Unlike this one. Who has spent most of her teen years skilling and eating rotten food. No I am not trying to kill her, yet.
98. You may be wondering why It seems like I am flying through things. Never ending pictures of skilling and meditating arenât very interesting. I mostly play this on speed three.
99. âHey do you remember that lady you woohooed when I was a baby? The one you thought was hot?â âYeah?â âIf you ever see her again, Iâll break your kneecaps.â âMaybe you should be the criminal.â âNah, Iâll go for something much worse.â
104. And Babs is home and all smiles and I have to admit I am too⊠Adventurer is lifted.
105. âI left some elixir out for Daddy.â Thatâs my good Barbara. âNooooo!!! Why couldnât you have picked the social glasses. I want the social glasses!â
106. I did have Xavier suck down an entire container of Elixir. See, I have plans. Xavier here is the friends holder and while we have a ton of them and more get made daily. The number is nothing to be sniffed at. Also, heâs friends with tons of Dormies. And while I love 2.0, at the level he is at he isnât going to lift Paranormal. It hasnât come up on the first job yet. So Xavier gets to become immortal until such a point as I no longer need that friend count. Arenât I nice? He gets to watch everyone he loves die.
107. A few hours later and Shayera transitioned to teendom. A very smelly teen.
109. Oh dammit! You Guys went and did it! Damn birthday mothing for pulling Eye Candy out of Meditation. Well thereâs no choice for it⊠Howard out of bed and start meditating. In the yard, if you please!
110. âI have a hunch that I am not going to want to be home today.â
111. Welcome to Death Island, Howard. âWhy me? I didnât do anything like Christy did!â
113. âIâm pregnant. How is this possible?!â --- Meta time! I found out later that this is apparently a glitch that happens with the Pets Expansion. Itâs counting the two pets slots as open slots. Yes, another reason for me to hate the damn thing. But I didnât find this out until I was writing thisâŠ
114. 2.0 is home with one promotion to go. And three days offâŠ. Itâs good cause he needs them to skill. âAnd ask me out on a date!â Um, I think his intended will kill him.
118. Back inside I decided to use the elixir for its unintended side effect, taking away days. Jean had finished maxing all of her skills so she was just taking up space at this point. And Iâd rather have Wally around than her.
119. And Jean grew up, badly. But since those years are tacked on at the end I donât care that much. If she takes more than 28 days to lift a career and not having to skill or make friends I am doing something wrong.
120. And Military is first. While a great career, it isnât going to happen in Jeanâs lifetime.
121. Jeanâs birthday roused Xavier from his meditations and he went to see what all of the blubbering was about. Jean wasnât terribly happy with growing up in the red, but Babs got my attention by popping into her second trimester.
122. And because we have more than enough cash on hand, I had her quit her job. This is even after paying the Mob $20,000 a week when we only need to pay $14,734.
123. Outside, Howard continues the job of dying. If I had only known this were a glitch and not some mistake of mine.
125. âAnother one? Itâs not even been 100 slides since I last showed up.â Yeah. Sorry about this⊠âI didnât think there would be such a rush.â âŠ
128. However Howard died on a Tuesday and as well all know, life must go on. Especially on Tuesdays.
129. âYo, Cutie, your daddy called me up saying you needed some cheering up.â âMy Best friend died!â âHow about you make a new best friend?â âOkay.â
130. âThat was fun!â âIsnât it though? I hate to woohoo and run. Oh but who am I kidding? I love it.â âWait, I want to give you something.â âWhat?â
131. âMy first kissâŠâ --- There you go, Cait. Cute scene with Jean. Stupid sim. On her date with Heather here she didnât roll up any wants for her date. They were all for things like bars, resurrecting Eye Candy, and meeting someone new. And what few wants she had barely got her into the green.
132. Unlike Wally here, who is so easy to take care of. He rarely rolls wants for dates. Mostly he wants to Juggle, smustle, jump on the couch, and play kicky bag. So all it takes is a few silly actions in the moment and he is golden or platinum. Love this sim. And doesnât he look good in that suit?
133. And just one day later, heâs The Law! Youâve got it right Kori, that deserves a high five.
134. So where does that leave us? Well the end for one. We have lifted Adventurer and can now use career rewards and have unlimited use of Elixir. I havenât done the former, although Jumbok and the Legal Podium are likely going to come out now. I havenât bothered with any of the others. The Facelift machine, the camera, and the Cowplant are all huge and would have not been allowed to move per athletic rules. And they are pretty useless to begin with. So in my case my only reason for lifting adventurer was to save Xavier and the friends. Even though we likely donât need them at the moment we have 43. And Wally lifted Law. Which means that Politics, Law Enforcement, and Slacker are now no longer suppressed and can be lifted for good. I do have another poll for you all on my LJ. http://leilia.livejournal.com/265594.html Please think and vote. And Spork!
