Superior Niks 4

Posted on by Mila

And we go on!

Created during this post and this post and this post.

Career: 

  • Niks has completely levelled up cooking. In an odd way. She was hungry, so she started some food, walked away, it got finished by somebody else, so she started something new. Boom. Complete.
  • She has been fired from her job.
  • Niks has gained Emotion Bomb from being fired and remaining very sad without finding an outlet. This should be interesting. I think I’ll see how this plays out, and might use the Quirk-B-Gone later on it, if it proves to be too annoying.
  • Niks and Evan are now married!
  • Niks has gained the fishing skill.
  • Niks has gained the herbal remedy skill.
  • Niks has met the Hermit and made friends. She’s collected bugs and explored.
  • Freelance botanist has been completed!
  • Never Weary has been purchased. NO SLEEP EVER AGAIN.
  • Pretty much immediately, Niks got pregnant. They now have a little girl named Jack.
  • Niks lost her fame, and apparently the Emotion Bomb with it, so that’s nice.
  • I put her on Successful Lineage
  • Another baby, another girl, her name is Kai.

I love having Never Weary so much that I might go for the other extreme bonuses, Forever Full, Forever Fresh, and Needs No One. She can get so much done when she doesn’t have to pay attention to silly human needs.

Now with baby

Posted on by Mila
  • Evan and Niks are really good parents so far. I’m hoping this means the Vang family disregard for infants is ending.
  • Kenzie has roamed away from the house to … play violin under a bridge… for some dogs.

I can try, but I can’t actually be mad at her for doing this.

  • Kenzie and Isla have taken a little interest in the baby. This is surprising, considering how much Isla seemed to want a baby, I thought she’d be more into it.. I’m more shocked about Kenzie, who didn’t really take care of Evan very much. Though she was tons better as a mother than Delilah was.

Happy mama.

  • Jack has aged up! She’s now a toddler.
  • ..how is this toddler a white redhead.
  • Niks is happy to not be pregnant anymore. She’s back to playing in her garden, and her cow plant.

  • oh no.   OH NO … I wanted Niks and Evan to rekindle their relationship, since their romantic connection was going down since Jack’s arrival. I accidentally clicked try for baby. OH NO. Now she’s pregnant again. I wish I’d realized before they got down to the WooHoo. I could have stopped this.
  • Come on Niks, how are you going to give your kid chips for dinner? WTF.
  • On top of being pregnant, now Niks is also ill.
  • And also has morning sickness. This poor woman.
  • Evan has also gotten sick, so he’s calling out of work and hopped up on medicine. Of course, he’s not acting sick now that he’s home.
  • Jack is a very emotional baby. The slightest thing goes wrong, and she throws a fit about it. It’s very annoying.
  • The whole house is trying to carry on with life as normal, despite the new pending babies.

I might not be excited for having two toddlers in the house at the same time, but Niks and Evan are.

  • It’s another little girl! Her name is Kai.
  • Holy crap, these two babies could not look more different.
  • Evan is taking an active role in the parenting. I’m glad to see he did not pick up his parenting tips from his mother. Or his grandmother. Or his aunt. Maybe it was the nanny.
  • Evan has uncovered corruption at his job. Other Space Rangers are planting contraband on suspects in order to get arrests. He’s unwilling to look the other way and arrests a man he catches doing it. And then he decides it’s best if he resigns his post. He is no longer a space ranger.
  • Isla is officially the only one in the house that has a job now. She’s come a long way from being the one who wouldn’t get off of her computer long enough to pee.

Girls’ brunch. Isla couldn’t be assed to dress for it, obviously.

  • I have to move the baby out of the kids room. Every time she wakes up, she wakes Jack up. Then Jack throws a tantrum. I can’t take this.
  • The family now has over 6 million Simoleons. They are officially Rich AF.
  • With two kids, it’s been decided that the family needed to hire a gardener. There’s no way for Niks to tend to all the plants and two kids.
  • Alright, I just can’t take the baby in the house at all, so I’m going to age her up.
  • These toddlers look so different. I know it’s early days, and their features won’t really present themselves until they’re teens, but right now they don’t look remotely related. It’s so weird. Like I’m envisioning a Karen from Mean Girls moment happening in the lives of these children in the future.

Oh my god, Karen, you can’t just ask someone why they’re white.

  • HOLY FUCKING WHAT. THE COW PLANT JUST ATE EVAN.
  • Ohthankgod, he’s okay.
  • That’s some shit I didn’t know was going to happen. I might… I might need to get rid of the cow plant. It’s adorable, but if it’s going to fucking eat people…
  • Kenzie has decided to move into Isla’s room with her. I guess this is okay. It sort of feels like they’re lonely old ladies looking to each other for companionship, which makes me sad, but I’m not going to stop them.
  • Isla is being a little creepy with the kids. She keeps eating while sitting on their beds while they’re sleeping. It’s unsettling.

It’s amazing how much I hate having toddlers running around even my virtual house. I would not have made a good mother.

  • Evan has been having the time of his life taking care of his kids. This is a good thing.
  • There’s an illness going around the house, one sim gets it, then another gets it, and I can’t keep up with who has it.

Next time, I think it’ll be time to age Jack up. I decided that since I still have aging off, due to Niks goals, I’ll get the kids to full skills, then age them up. I think, too, that once Kai is aged up, there will be another baby or two. I want Niks and Evan to have three or four total. Big honkin legacy for them. Which makes me hate myself a little bit.

A Spring Wedding

Posted on by Mila

It’s the first day of spring, and also the wedding day for Niks and Evan! They’ve been waiting for this for some time. Now it’s finally here! The chosen venue for this event is the park in Myshuno Meadows. There’s going to be a fair amount of people, but not nearly the amount that there should be (so there might be a little calling sims to the lot later).

  • Everyone hung around the house for a while, getting clean and settling in before the time of the wedding.
  • Isla removed the decorations from New Years, since nobody else had.  We had some other cleaning issues, of people just picking up piles of dirty dishes and leaving them elsewhere. Several of them went through the motions of being clean, without actually finishing.
  • Kenzie decided that she needed to play the violin again. Possibly for hours, until I put an end to it, I just couldn’t take it on the day of Niks and Evan’s wedding.

I did a house tour walkthrough, too. It’s still up temporarily on https://www.twitch.tv/darthrabies)

 

  • Time for the wedding!
  • Everyone gathered at the venue that we found because of Kenzie and Lauryn going on that strange midnight date in the middle of winter, in San Myshuno.
  • In order to get the main goal out of the way, Evan and Niks were urged to get married quickly. It took some effort, trying to get the people over there to watch, and both Evan and Niks at the altar at the same time. Eventually we managed it though, and they had a very cute ceremony complete with fireworks.

Evan walked away from the altar after the wedding started. Thankfully, he just wanted to listen to the piano a bit.

 

Evan and Niks are married, finally! This was a long time coming. They’re both insanely happy.

A gold lady taking a nap during the reception. She didn’t used to be gold.

  • There was food and cake after, and Niks very cutely fed Evan some cake and I didn’t manage to get a picture of it. It makes me sad.
  • Everyone finally went home once the wedding was over, but Niks stood around in her wedding dress in the rain, sang a little bit, played on her phone a little bit, and then finally went home.
  • Once they rested a little, Niks and Evan went on a vacation to Granite Falls to seek out the hermit.
  • It should be noted, at this point, Niks was still wearing her wedding dress. She continued to wear it for most of the honeymoon.

Niks wearing her wedding dress while she plays horseshoes in the rain.

  • It should also be noted that Evan kept falling asleep on every bench and couch that he walked past.
  • They stayed in a cabin instead of actual camping, and Evan promptly went to nap on the bench right outside, couldn’t even make it in.
  • THERE’S A GUY IN A BEAR SUIT!

  • Niks took the opportunity to explore, finding a map and some bugs. She went all over the map, got some supplies at the little hut, ready to explore the woods.

It took some time, and help from my viewers, but finally the Hermit entrance was discovered.

  •  Niks found all the right twists and turns to get into the secret place, and met the lovely hermit lady. They were having a pretty nice time chatting, and Niks decided to talk to plants. Through this she gained the herbal remedy skill.

Niks and the hermit. Poor hermit. Driven out of her own house by inconsiderate newlyweds.

  • We brought Evan over to where she was, and they kind of took over the poor Hermit’s space. Treating it like a bed and breakfast. The hermit eventually decided to leave the area herself, since the pair weren’t going anywhere.
  • After some more exploring, and taking care of themselves, Niks and Evan decided to try for a baby. In the hermit’s house. Like weirdos. Their attempt was successful, and now Niks is eating for two. And peeing for two. And exploring unknown areas for two. Alone. Without her husband.
  • They cleaned up their mess, and finally the vacation was over.

Time to get them back to a normal routine.

  • Everybody but Kenzie has accomplished their New Year’s resolution. There are no longer any romantic feelings between Lauryn and Kenzie, which is for the best. I fully believe that Lauryn was a destructive influence. Kenzie is already in some kind of deep funk, she doesn’t need somebody like that in her life. I think it’s better for her to be stressed out about not finishing that accomplishment and maybe being sad about it, than trying to re-ignite their relationship.
  • Niks is super pregnant, and has had a lot of issues getting to the bathroom on time. It’s kind of heartbreaking.
  • She’s also growing a cow plant, which will not only finish her aspiration, but also make me very very happy.
  • WAIT WHAT. Niks has gone into labor! This is too early! The last notification I got was that she was in the second trimester!
  • Evan has run away from the situation.
  • And it’s a baby girl! We welcome little Jack Wright into the world today.
  • Now that the baby is born, Evan is all about it. He’s rushed right in to care for her and calm her down.
  • Isla has earned another raise! Get it, girl.

What a busy day. A wedding. A honeymoon. A new baby. What will happen to these poor sims next?

The Last Five Days of Winter.

Posted on by Mila

Evan and Niks are going to have their wedding on the first day of spring, which means we have a few days to get through first. The house is going to have a big New Years party, so I think they’ll spend some time prepping for that.

 

  • Trying to get Niks to focus on her archeology, but she keeps walking away from the table to do other stuff.
  • Oh, she’s sick. Okay. That might explain it.
  • There were weird noises, and now I can’t find Kenzie…
  • Oh. She was abducted. Well. That’s new.
  • She’s super angry now, because of being abducted. Is this because she’s got an alien girlfriend? Was this the alien equivalent to an over-protective dad showing his colors by taking out a shotgun and cleaning it methodically? It’s a real dick move, if so.
  • Everybody has taken part in the lottery. They’re a silly bunch, wanting to. They’ve got so much money.
  • A stray cat has wandered onto the property, so naturally Kenzie is trying to make friends. The cat is named Bubbles.

Bubbles

  • Aaaaand she’s brought the cat inside.
  • Bubbles did not like that, and has run away from the lot with a quickness. I am starting to feel bad for Kenzie. All the animals she tries to befriend, and then they vanish. Or die. Maybe I should just let her adopt a pet. I’m kind of scared that they’d just hate her and run away though. At this point, if she kept an animal around, I’d be pretty amazed.

 

It should be noted that from the start of this post to this current moment that I’m updating (about 3 days), I have had a birthday, and have added more packs to this game. So more stuff will be Happening. Niks will become more powerful than we ever dreamed! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahem.

 

Anyhoo.

 

  • I don’t know if she’s stuck, or what, but Kenzie has been playing the violin all day. It’s after midnight (sim time), and she still hasn’t put the thing down. I think I’ll see how long she keeps this up.
  • Isla is back to working out in her spare time. She no longer seems interested in babies (finally). Maybe if Evan and Niks have a baby, she can get her weirdo out of the blue late stage maternal feelings out that way.
  • Since nobody in the house will talk to her currently (Evan is asleep, Isla is working out, Kenzie is enraptured with violin), Niks has decided to go outside and talk to her trees. I don’t know how good that conversation is.
  • Now she’s decided to go upstairs and play with the karaoke machine she got for Winterfest. While Evan is sleeping in the next room. This is kind of assholish, Niks.
  • Evan got up and went downstairs. I don’t blame him.
  • Kenzie has stopped playing the violin finally. It’s currently 7am.
  • NO, DESMOND, NIKS IS NOT GOING ON A DATE WITH YOU. YOU’RE CREEPY AF.
  • I don’t know if maybe Kenzie is afraid to sleep, but now she’s running on the treadmill, and her energy has been in the red since before she stopped playing the violin.
  • Now she has to take a nap, at least. Lauryn wants to go on another date. Off to the city, she wants to whisk Kenzie.
  • Niks is talking to the trees again.
  • Isla got some free earbuds from a company who … wants her to … pimp their stuff? I don’t know. But they’re pretty cool, and she seems pretty happy to have them. (They’re also pretty cool for me, because when she’s the main focus, I hear the music, and it fades when she walks away. Then when she’s NOT the focus, I don’t hear it at all.)
  • I think Kenzie might be on a self-destructive path. She’s now eating curry that’s making her mouth burn, and seems very unhappy about it, yet keeps eating.
  • Niks has been abducted while on her way to work. What is with these aliens???
  • Kinzie did not enjoy the play that she went to see with Lauryn, it seems to have dampened her mood about the woman, too. To work out her frustration, she’s working out. Despite being exhausted.
  • The aliens have returned Niks, unlike Kenzie, Niks seems to have had a great time with them, and has some enhanced moodlets. Apparently they didn’t probe her, unlike what they did to poor Kenzie.
  • Kenzie has finally gone to bed. Let’s hope she stays there long enough for it to make a difference.
  • Niks just got fired. She got hacked while at work, and decided to retaliate. She made a miscalculation in the server she attacked, and it was public instead of private. Her job decided she’s too high profile. Well. Fuck you too, job.
  • Lauryn and Kenzie are about to go out on yet ANOTHER date. They’re going to Solar Flare, which should be interesting. Maybe this relationship is just another part of her self destructive spiral, though. They’ve very clingy, and Lauryn is very possessive. What if this isn’t such a good thing after all? It should be cute, yet with everything else going on with Kenzie, it’s starting to look worrisome.
  • Who takes wine to sip while they’re going to the bathroom, KENZIE!?
  • The date went well, I guess. Even though they didn’t speak to each other the whole time. They each found other people in the bar to talk to. At one point, Kenzie just sat in the corner eating chips alone. This really cannot be a healthy relationship.
  • Niks is currently being VERY dramatic. But it’s helping her get rid of her sad moodlet.
  • Lauryn has told Kenzie to never call her again. We’ll see how long that sticks.
  • It didn’t last at all. The very next night, Lauryn wanted to come hang out at the house. I think Kenzie needs to be discouraged from seeing her anymore.

 

It is New Year’s Eve! The family is going to have a big party, so they need to get the house ready. That means decorating and setting up, and cleaning – since they’re all pigs and have completely ceased all tidying activities, despite Niks’ encouragements on the matter.

  • Kenzie got up before everybody and made breakfast. Evan and Niks have decided to have that breakfast outside. While it’s snowing. Niks is in her jammies. I don’t understand why nobody in this house understands that you’ve gotta wear warm clothing to go outside in winter. Hopefully she doesn’t die over her eggs and sausage.

  • Isla has peed herself, I guess eating was more important than going to the bathroom.
  • Kenzie has decorated the whole house for the party. Go Kenzie! You’re still in a downward spiral, but you’re getting shit done!
  • The party has started. Everyone is singing and having a great time. We didn’t intend to start the party at 9 am, but it’s happened, and we’ll make the best of it.
  • Resolution time! Niks: is going to write a book. Evan: Is going to raise a skill. Isla: Is going to complete an aspiration. Kenzie: is going to get a significant other.
  • NO, DESMOND, NIKS WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, CREEPO GROSSPANTS!
  • I guess one issue with having the party so early is that everyone has gone home by 3pm. At least they were all able to get their party desires met, aside from the one that doesn’t need the party to be raging to get, which is staying up late to ring it in.
  • Niks is going to have to cuss out Desmond. He’s calling too much. This is harassment. Where’s a sim lawyer when you need one? She needs a restraining order.
  • They definitely started the party too early. Every single one of them needs a nap before the final event. That’s pretty sad, kids.
  • Everyone finally got up and went to the tv to watch the new year’s tv show. They all giggled and had a great time, and stood up as the countdown began. When the clock turned, they celebrated with streamers and Evan gave Niks the sweetest kiss on the cheek. Then they all promptly went back to bed. Which is a good plan, since tomorrow is a really big day.

New Years eve family celebration.

Continuing our journey

 

Career: Criminal – on the Oracle path

  • I guess Seldom Sleepy lets her regain her energy back faster when she sleeps, not that she sleeps less. The current goal is to get her Never Weary. We’re about halfway to the amount of points needed for this.
  • We have one more thing to do for the Freelance Botanist aspiration, and it can’t be done until spring, which is only a few days away. But it’s annoying that it can’t be done right now.
  • We’re going to keep Niks on this career for the time being, she’s in a good routine, and she’s wanting to get married to Evan, so it’s best to do the personal stuff without the mess of getting a new job and the weird hours it entails, but the Oracle path of Criminal is complete.
  • Picked up no new skills this time, but completely leveled up a few. Also got no new traits, that’s okay. Saving up for the big one in the rewards, and about to finish this aspiration means we’ll get another.

Slogging through winter

Posted on by Mila

 

 

  • Evan has been promoted to Space Ranger! He’s now the top of his field.
  • Niks has been promoted to The Oracle! She, too, is now in the top of her field. I guess this means I have to stop putting off marriage and kids and whatnot. Fine. FINE. But they’re having a spring wedding.
  • To celebrate their mutual career advancement, Niks has invited Evan out for a night on the town, just the two of them. They’re headed off to San Myshuno to the Stargazer’s Lounge.
  • Oh no. Somebody was talking to the toilet, so Evan peed himself. While on his date with Niks! How awful!
  • To fix the situation, Evan has decided to swim in the pool. In winter. Much like his mother, and her poor snowy weather decisions, he almost froze to death. But at least he’s cleaner now? I guess?
  • Despite these mishaps, the date has gone off remarkably well. So well, in fact, that Niks is thinking about proposing to Evan!

  • He’s said yes!

Enthusiastically.

  • Kenzie went to the store again, she was profitable, but I think maybe she needs to set up a fridge in there and perhaps a couch for napping? She seems to get exhausted fast. And I think also she needs to fire her elderly employee and hire somebody younger, not that she doesn’t like her employee, it’s just that she takes forever to walk to the customers or do anything.
  • Somebody, I won’t say who (It was me) didn’t think about how much it would suck to have outdoor offices during the winter. Now certain sims are attempting to go do their work while there’s a blizzard. I have made a huge mistake.
  • Everyone is headed to the Romance Festival. Evan and Niks are already feeling romantic and have gotten engaged, so this is just going to be an added bonus for them. Everyone is probably going to freeze to death, though, since I doubt that there was any foresight to put it inside at this time of year.
  • Well, since it’s Neighborhood Brawl as well as the Romance Festival, there’s people flirting and fighting everywhere. This is an interesting mix that I might actually be down with if it were a real event.
  • Niks has asked the Guru about her current relationship. He has told her that it is a match made to last the ages.
  • Kenzie is alternately flirting with and fighting one of the alien girls, Lauryn.
  • Ohno. Evan is fighting the Romance Guru… and because they were in the middle of the fight when Neighborhood Brawl ended, they now despise each other, and Kenzie is mad because she caught Evan fighting in public.
  • Apparently the weather held while the festival was going on, and now that it’s over, everyone is caught in a blizzard, trying to get home. It’s kinda funny, but I feel like this might be a huge game flaw that got overlooked.

After festival blizzard.

  • Kaye, one of the aliens, is standing in the kids’ playroom in the house and crying over the dollhouse. Do dollhouses represent something different on her planet? Is it a shrine one erects for their dead? Did she lose a child? Oh god. I don’t know why this is happening.

I don’t understand what’s happening.

  • Evan’s going back through the wormhole to explore. What will he find this time? A new pet? More aliens? (Oops, he was supposed to be at work. I hope he doesn’t get fired.) He’s met another alien friend, and now he’s digging up space artefacts to bring home for Niks. And… now he’s going to work in the middle of our exploration, thanks a lot, Evan.
  • Niks met a fellow through work a while back named Desmond. They were just work pals. He’s never even been over to the house. Since then, he’s called Niks every day asking her to go out to dinner.
  • Winterfest is upon us. We shall decorate and make everything festive. We shall wait the long days until the first day of spring while trying to plaster smiles on our faces. We don’t hate the snow. The snow is good. It is fine. It blankets everything in pureness and doesn’t cut down on the amount of fun we can have at all. We certainly don’t freeze when we go out in it.
  • Kenzie has decided to go on a date with Lauryn at Chez Llama, the alien has been asking her for days, but it’s always at a time when she’s about to go to bed, or in the middle of an event. Now it’s lined up that she’s free, and she’s going to take the opportunity. She hasn’t been on a date in a really long time, and after her last issue with the maid, I think she needs some companionship.
  • This might be further evidenced by the almost immediate desire to WooHoo with Lauryn as soon as they got to the restaurant.
  • They might be a perfect match. Lauryn has begun to clean the kitchen while they wait for a table.
  • Lauryn and Kenzie really really like each other. This is fantastic.

Look how cute they are!!!!

  • However, they do not like the people that are sitting near them. They are currently talking shit about them, but it seems to be strengthening the connection, so do you, gals, do you.
  • … either Kenzie or Lauryn got their meal for free… (the pop up says “for a star like you, it’s on the house). Weird.
  • The date went fabulously. They chatted the entire time, flirted with one another a lot, and stayed up way past their bedtimes. Now they’re going to their respective homes, which is a good thing. Kenzie needs a cooling off period before she makes decision she’s not ready for. I have a feeling that Lauryn is not the type to mess around, she’s in it all or nothing.
  • Time for Winterfest! Everybody will have a quick nap before they get to the festivities, though, since it seems that nobody took care of themselves while I was helping Kenzie with her date.
  • They’ve all had a nice lovely meal, sang together, decorated the tree, and now they’re opening presents.

Tree decorating and present time! And Niks getting into gifts when she’s not supposed to.

  • Somebody gave Niks pet poop. Isla got a train set, but just the cargo car of it. Kenzie got some turquoise. And Evan got a Littlehaven postcard. These aren’t very good gifts. Do Sims suck at gift giving?
  • Disappointed with her gift, Niks snuck one more and got Ozinold. She’s happier with it, but Evan caught her doing it.
  • Father Winter has appeared! And oddly, there’s an option to fight him for gifts? WTF.

  • Instead of fighting him, the family has opted to talk to him and invite him to sit for a while. They can ask for presents this way, like sane and rational people. Niks got a robot vacuum dock, Evan got The Schmapple Coffee (whatever that is), Kenzie got one, too. Niks gave Father Winter some of her bees’ honey. Isla has received a Hopper (which has turned out to be a little figurine). All in all it was a very good Winterfest.
  • Lauryn has asked Kenzie out on another date, they’re going to go to a secret concert.
  • The easel downstairs has a really creepy picture on it, and it seems that none of my sims are responsible, because none of them can interact with it. Where did it come from? Why is it half finished? Why does it appear that a child was doodling on the canvas? There are no children here.

Creepy-ass painting.

  • Kenzie has wandered away from the house again, and made a dog friend, again. This dog’s name is Huey.  Oh, now she’s on to a cat. A very sick cat named Squee. I think Kenzie is desperate for company of any kind.
  • Finally Lauryn has called again, and this time they’re going to go hang out in a park. I don’t know how good of an idea this is, as it’s STILL WINTER, LAURYN. But maybe they’ll have a good time.
  • The park that Lauryn has taken Kenzie to is a wedding destination. I think it may be a way-too-strong signal of what Lauryn wants. Fortunately, it has also given me an idea of where Evan and Niks should get married.

 

Bonus Pictures:

Isla’s mysterious spots, from last time, forgot to include the picture.

This guy from the night that Niks and Evan got engaged. Why. Why are you wearing those pants.

Niks and Kenzie played outside together, making snowpals, and this is the result. I think they’re adorable.

Seven Deadly Sims – The Sims Themselves

Posted on by Mila

Okay, when I started this blog, I named it Seven Deadly Sims, and that was for a purpose. I had this idea to make a sim for every sin and have them all in one house. But I got caught up with the vampires, and with my main house, so it’s taken me a while to set these guys up.

I let the add-a-sim generator pick their genders, except for Lust, who I thought should be genderfluid/non-binary, and Pride, who came up as male, but I decided I wanted to have an even ratio. Then I randomized each one five times, except for Anger, who stayed with her first appearance. They live in Newcrest, because I wanted to have a bit of room to expand as money comes in, and since there’s nothing there, maybe I can add some cool stuff for them, really customize it.

I’ve named them all after their sin, to make it easy, and then their last name is Deadly, to make that easy. I streamed on Twitch while I made them (https://www.twitch.tv/darthrabies), and we chose how they would look, and the colors for their outfits. Everyone is color coded through all of their outfits. It took a long time, but worth it.

 

Let’s introduce them!

Here we have Sloth. Color: Yellow. Traits: Noncommittal, Lazy, Slob. Apriation: Friend of Animals. Job: None

Sloth has some of the ugliest clothing. Mismatched, messy looking. It was a lot of fun.

Greed. Color: Green. Traits: Materialistic, Kleptomaniac, Ambitious. Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy. Job: Business branch.

Anger. Wrath (I cheated a little and didn’t randomize her, because she was adorable upon first appearance.) Color: Red. Traits: Mean, Self Assured, Hot-Headed. Aspiration: Public Enemy. Job: Secret Agent branch.

Lust. Our non-binary character. They had a more masculine body at first, but the posture they had was driving me and one of my streamers crazy. The feminine body type solved it. Color: Purple. Traits: Outgoing, Romantic, Evil. Aspiration: Serial Romantic. Job: Entertainer branch.

Gluttony. Color: Blue. Traits: Glutton, Bro, Art Lover. Aspiration: Master Chef. Job: Culinary branch.

Envy. Color: Grey/Green (I realized that I should have made him the green color way after I’d gone through and done all of Greed’s. So he’s a darker, more muted green with grey.) Traits: Jealous, Romantic, Hot-Headed. Aspiration: Soulmate. Job: Style Influencer branch.

Pride. (Already my favorite.) Color: Black. Traits: Snob, Perfectionist, Bro. Aspiration: Friend of the World. Job: Doctor branch.

 

And here they all are!

Fun fact: They aren’t related because I forgot to set it, so there might be some inter-house mingling, which could be interesting.

Another fun fact: They live in a house with two real bedrooms, and a converted garage. It’s only got one bathroom.

My goal here is to be less controlling of the sims and let them kind of play out their personalities more freely. I’ll nudge them along to what they have to do for work, and whims, but for the most part, I think they’re going to have a lot of freedom, because I want to see how fast this goes bad. And believe me, this is going to go bad. Their personalities clash, they’ve only got one bathroom, and one computer. Currently they have less than 2k of household funds.

Did I mention the house is small? Cause it’s small.

EDIT: I’ve changed Anger to Wrath, since that’s the more widely known version of the sin.

Wait, I haven’t played in two weeks!?

Created along with the Superior Niks 2 post

 

  • Right off the bat, Niks has been promoted to An0nymous Ghost at work. Nice pay bump with it. She did go to work having to use the bathroom, though, so I hope she doesn’t pee herself.
  • I think the maid wants to have a baby with Kenzie. Every time they talk, he thinks about it. This is not happening.
  • Evan keeps getting sick. It’s a constant rotation of being ill and then taking meds and then getting ill again.
  • There’s a whole money tree grove now, since the discovery of a glitch that gives more seeds. I have plans to set Niks up as an incredibly rich sim, so she never has to worry about things she wants or needs. By the time I’m done, her great great grandchildren won’t have to work a day, if they don’t want to.
  • Niks is getting much better at bee keeping, he bees are no longer enraged every time we check in on them.
  • Kenzie tried hitting on the maid again. This time, he wasn’t having it. She’s super embarrassed now, and he just stopped working and left trash in the middle of the house. This is how lawsuits happen, Kenzie. You can’t sexually harass your employees. There are hashtags about this.
  • Evan has been promoted to Sheriff of the Stars. He’s starting to rake in the cash now.
  • Isla got yet another raise. She’s really killing it in this field. I’m really glad that she discovered it, it really helped her turn her life around. My little late bloomer.
  • In a rare show of family solidarity, the lot of them are going to Chez Llama to celebrate A Night Out. The last time they were all doing the same thing was the ill-fated vacation where Kenzie and Isla had a horrible time and got sent home because they were ruining the whole thing. We’ll see how this goes.

Everyone at Chez Llama, actually sitting down together.

  • The night is going well. Niks is making friends with Evan’s family, and that’s important. Maybe the next vacation won’t go so sour.
  • Except Isla has passed out in the restaurant.
  • They’ve stayed out too late, everyone is passing out as soon as they stand up to leave. Other than that, it was a great night. They got free food, all of them enjoyed it, they had great conversation and now Niks is a lot more friendly with the people she’s been living with. Maybe she and Evan can seriously start thinking about getting engaged now.
  • Before she left, Kenzie attempted to clean the kitchen of the restaurant. She got yelled at a bunch.
  • Evan is almost constantly thinking about babies now.
  • I think we got a new maid…
  • Evan’s gone through a wormhole… adventure?
  • Evan is on a strange planet. He’s collecting many samples to take home. I wonder if Niks can study these and find out more.
  • He’s met an alien! Her name is Kaye Shafer. OH! Another! His name is Sri Olvera! They actually look a bit more robotic than alien, but maybe that’s just their outfits? If they’re outfits, they’re super cool. A third! Lauryn Golden. So many new alien friends!

 

Evan exploring, and Kaye! First alien contact!

 

  • Apparently there are no bathrooms in space, so Evan’s leaving before he pees himself. It’s probably a better idea to go home than do that in front of your new alien friends. BUT. He’s taking the alien friends with him. Maybe they’ll enjoy themselves. Maybe they’ll move in! MAYBE THEY’LL BECOME FAMILY!
  •  Isla is flirting with Kaye. A lot.
  • Aaand everybody left very suddenly.
  • Niks had kind of a bad day at work, but then she was promoted to Net Demon, so I think it evens out. Another great bonus and a pay raise, too.
  • It feels like Seldom Sleepy is not doing a lot for Niks. She’s still tired all the time. I need to get her the one where she never sleeps, I think.
  • Evan has decided it’s wise to drink before he goes to work. Okay. I guess that’s a thing we’re doing now.
  • Maybe drinking before going into space is a good thing. He came back with a space slug for a pet.
  • They haven’t been able to find time to hang out, since they work opposite schedules, but Niks and Evan have made a bit of time to WooHoo in the rocket again. That seems to be their favorite spot for it. I mean, why wouldn’t it be? It’s a rocket, and they go into space when they do it.
  • We have acquired over a million Simoleons. The family is officially rich.
  • Kenzie has wandered away from the house again. This time to… stand under a bridge and play on her phone?
  • I think Loki died… she’s no longer in Kenzie’s contacts… (Just as I typed that I got “Loki’s spirit is fading away” Damnit.)

I apologize for the quality of this photo. I just needed proof. Whatchoo doin girl? Coulda stayed home to play on your phone, yanno.

 

RIP Loki. We didn’t quite get to make you our dog. Or find out why you dislike the dishwasher so much.

  • Everyone is really into Harvestfest, but there was some issues with the gnomes. Some of the gnomes got really angry. Attempts were made to appease them, but only Isla managed to. Niks got electrocuted for her efforts.

Don’t piss off gnomes, apparently.

 

Hey, uh. What are you guys doing? I mean. It’s cool and all, don’t mean to offend. But… what?

  • It’s the first snow of Winter.
  • Kenzie decided to go out and play in the snow. In her jammies. Naturally she almost froze to death.
  • Recovered from her hypothermia, Kenzie headed over to the shop. Since she sold a lot of the stuff last time, some time was spent converting it into an art gallery. Looks really nice, if I do say so myself. The store brings in quite a bit more money now. She doesn’t have to keep it open as long to turn a profit, which is nice.
  • Isla’s got some kind of whole body rash going on. I didn’t even notice until I saw her scratching a lot. Where did she get a rash!?
  • Both Evan and Niks are thinking about marriage and babies.  I think I have to stop putting it off for them. She’s almost at the end of her Career Branch, so I’ll sort these whims when that happens.
  • Everybody’s headed out to the Spice Festival. Let’s see who can grab the title this time!
  • While at the karaoke bar next to the festival, Niks finally met a vampire. Vladislaus has made an appearance. She’s so excited. Or would be, if she wasn’t exhausted.
  • Evan and Niks are best friends now!
  • Isla has gotten YET ANOTHER raise. She makes 378 an hour now.

Niks upgrades the plumbing while Evan has a nice bubble bath. Kay.

  • Evan has found some stuff in space. A dead red coral, and … a pink whale. … From space.

Continuing on our journey to build the ultimate Sim

 

Career: Criminal – on the Oracle path

 

  • For some reason, the stuff didn’t pop for Public Enemy (it didn’t notice that we’d already gotten past a lot of the criminal career), so we’re switching to Chief of Mischief.
  • Changed it again to Freelance Botanist, since she’s doing a bunch of stuff in the garden.
  • Acquired the Gourmet Cooking skill.
  • Working on getting Niks’ repair skill maxed out, because right now Kenzie is the one who can fix anything, and eventually she’s not going to be there to do that.
  • Niks has completely leveled up in Mischief. (Thank fuck. That one is so hard to do.)
  • Evan and Niks are now Best Friends.

Not many newly gained skills this time, but certainly a few levels raised.
