Dorian Grey – Seven Deadly Sims

Killing Dorian

Posted on June 7, 2019 by Mila

I’m at this again. I’m really sick of Dorian crying all the time. ALL THE TIME. Even when he fucking sleeps. So I’m going to learn about killing a sim indirectly. Maybe through starvation. Maybe through embarrassment. We’ll see how it goes. All I know is, I’m done with him, and I’m still not ready to age up anyone else, so murder is it. Part of me wants to construct a creepy attic room to send sims off to die. I feel like it might become a Thing. Keep them out of the way of the others in the house, you know?

Dorian has been locked in the workroom. He’s got no bathroom. He’s got no food. What will do him in? Peeing himself to death, maybe?
Everyone is still doing their thing while Dorian stews in his own filth and pees himself while he starves. I wonder how long this is going to take.
Niks and Evan have had their first WooHoo. They decided to do it in Evan’s rocket. It was very cute, it took off with hearts as it’s trails. Niks came back as invisible, though?
Abbie came back around for Evan, asking if he wanted to meet her at Chez Llama for breakfast. He agreed, but he took Niks with him. It was an atypical power move for him.
For some reason, Niks is all about cleaning up when she’s out at a restaurant, but when she’s at home, she can’t be bothered. Just like the rest of them. This is what happens when you grow up having a maid.
Abbie was being really awful to people at Chez Llama, so Niks and Evan abandoned her early and went home. They’re better off. Abbie is a real See You Next Tuesday. They don’t need to be around her.
One of Dorian’s old friends came over to hang out with him, and he’s stinky, tired, and hungry. I don’t see how he could be very good company.
Somehow, Isla is still attracted to Dorian despite his current state of being.
Dorian’s food needs are finally in the red. Hopefully that means he’ll kick it soon. I need to move on with other things, and I feel like I can’t until he’s gone.
OH MY GOD, DORIAN, DIE ALREADY.
Evan was promoted to Space Cadet. I think he should go visit space.
Niks sleeps a lot. I mean, a lot. I think eventually I’m going to have to get her the perk for never being tired, because she can’t get anything done. She goes to work, comes home to sleep, and then eats, and goes to work. It’s very difficult to get her to have hobbies or anything else.
Dorian is dying from starvation.
It looks like it’s going to be a horrifyingly long death.
And there’s The Reaper.
Delilah is witnessing this happening. She’s going to be so messed up for a while.
Or not. She’s having a great time talking to him.
And he’s gone. Onward to other things!

Main House

Getting Back To Routines (and the Main House)

Posted on May 28, 2019May 27, 2019 by Mila

First, I should note, that I found out I can copy a Sim from my library of creations and have them in another game. I think that I’m going to bring Lillie and Meryl over and set her up in a house so that my Main House sims can get interaction with her.

I needed to take a moment to reorient myself with who is doing what in this house. There’s so much going on.

When we begin our adventure, Evan is sleeping in the bathtub, Niks is on the computer trolling people, Dorian is asleep (I’d forgotten how old he is, he’s sure to kick the bucket soon), Kenzie is wandering around being miserable for some reason, and Isla is working on a new game.
Oh yeah. Kenzie is miserable because it’s Love Day and her boyfriend is a ghost, and she can’t have any of the interactions with him because he won’t come over during the day. Right. Right right right.
Love Day was a failure for everybody. To be fair, this part of the game got added when they were in the middle of a day, and they didn’t all have time to do the things they wanted to. Next time.

I’ve decided to get rid of the Ghost House so that eventually Lillie and Meryl can move in. I’m going to go about it slowly though. I’m going to move the ghosts back over to the Main House one by one, suck up their simoleons and then release them into the Netherworld.

Delilah has been moved back into the house. She’s got quite a few royalties still coming in, so I think it’ll be a while before she gets booted back to real death.
Since Dorian has taken a shine to woodworking, the family has decided to invest in a retail space where he can sell his stuff. They’ll probably sell other stuff too, honestly. But this will give him a nice little project, and maybe he’ll stop moping around the house so much. Isla sure isn’t interested in him at all anymore.
Well, that worked a lot quicker than I thought it would. He was pretty instantly cheered up and excited after I finished setting the store up.
Niks got promoted at her job, she is now a Petty Thief.

I disabled auto aging for a little bit. I want to get some of these activities on hold without worrying about a time limit. And I’m not ready for Niks and Evan to be adults. They need to get their careers in place, and figure out if they are going to be a thing. Plus, now that Dorian is actually happy for a change, I’d like to give him some time in his life to be that.

I pulled Delilah back into the ghost house, because she’s got so much in royalties still coming in, and Zechariah was pissing me off, constantly coming to the house and breaking all the shit. While good for Evan, since he needs to level up his handiness skill, it’s really irritating to every other sim who has to deal with water everywhere and potential electrocution.

I guess it’s because they aren’t officially dating, but Evan wouldn’t sleep in the same bed with Niks. He instead crawled into bed with Kenzie. His mom. He’s. He’s too old for this. Why is this happening.
Dorian has been churning out woodworking like crazy. It’s like he gets into a loop. Make one, get inspired, make another. He’s going to have so much inventory for his little store.
Zech is returning to the Netherworld. See ya. Thanks for possessing my shit all the time, you dick.
This, oddly, has improved Kenzie’s mood a lot.
Evan got promoted to Low Orbit Specialist.
Dorian had a smashing day at his shop. He did really good business, a lot of people bought things, and he had a great time. Unfortunately, his employee cost him more than what he brought in. Hopefully he’ll be able to change that as he makes better stuff woodworking, and his business gains positive reputation.
Niks got promoted again, this time to Ringleader. She’s doing really well at this job. When she’s not at work, she sleeps a lot, though. It’s weird.
Moved Alexander into the house. He didn’t have anything going on at all, so he got sent to the Netherworld really fast. Mostly because I’m anxious to get Lillie into the other house.
Lillie and Meryl have been added to the Ghost House, and Delilah has been moved back into the Main House. We’ll let her do her thing for a while, and let the royalties run out, and then she can go away too.
Niks and Evan have shared their first kiss. It was super cute.
I got Evan the free services perk, and it’s really cut down on the amount of money leaving the house. These people really need a maid. None of them clean, ever. EVAN. WHY ARE YOU PEEING AND DRINKING COFFEE AT THE SAME TIME.
For some reason, Delilah will not do anything on her own. She stands around after work hungry, tired, and filthy.
The family got a money tree, Niks has taken up gardening.
Dorian is way too tied up in the store, I kept him from it for three days so he could make some more stuff, and now he’s very very sad again. VERY sad. So we’re going to the store.
Niks was promoted again. She makes a really good criminal, I guess.
Dorian’s day at the store was pretty good. He made some sales, talked to a few people, and discovered that he cannot order a pizza to the store for some reason. He was very very hungry by the time he got home, but ultimately much happier. I’m kind of getting sick of him, though. Might let him die.

Here are some family pictures, since I realized that the Main House got a little ignored when it came to showing off the people.

Kenzie

And now for all the house upgrades that have happened since the last time.

Because of Evan’s career path, he needed some basic things. “Basic”. Not like they aren’t HUGE AND COST A FORTUNE.

A third floor was added. With a room specifically for kids. Two, actually, because there’s a playroom over there too. Evan’s bedroom is in the front right corner here. Niks is sleeping in the back right bedroom. Because they won’t share a bed yet. In the top left corner you see a gaming rig, and I had to lock the door for everyone, since they wouldn’t go to work, or do anything, they just all played the game.

The master suite has stayed the same, mostly. I changed the tub to one from the vampires add-on since everyone was going all the way into the basement to have a bath.

Nothing much has changed on the main floor.

And the basement, where I have left another little bedroom for strays.

Main House

A Fresh New Day

Posted on May 16, 2019May 24, 2019 by Mila

Let it be noted that I was gifted with several of the Sims packs, so these adventures are going to get more interesting. Or “interesting”, depending on your point of view.

Kenzie is still getting down with her dead husband. It’s a little weird.
Dorian is sad all the time now, I think it’s because his friends keep dying. Honestly, I didn’t know the dude had friends, he just hangs out at the house all the time, and doesn’t work. Maybe he was more social before he came to live in the Main House.
Dorian and Isla rarely talk at all anymore, and when they do, they keep bringing up babies. They didn’t want babies before, and now it’s too late. Isla is about to age up, and I’m not really in the mood to have a toddler running around with Elder parents.
Speaking of which, I think Dorian is creeping up to death’s door. He’s older than Isla. I should check on that.
Oh. Yep. He’s already an Elder.
Niks has been hanging out at the house a lot. Her and Evan get along really well. I’m glad I cheated a bit and made her up for him. She’s exactly the kind of gal that he deserves.
Seasons is a whole new realm of shit, isn’t it. Holidays and whatever. I don’t know if I can handle this.
Love day?
Oh no.
Isla and Dorian are not connecting on Love Day. She got him a gift, but he keeps walking away. He’s still moping around, I think because of his dead friends still, and she can’t snap him out of it.
Kenzie is super into the idea of Love Day and wants to DO ALL THE THINGS, but her boyfriend is dead and only comes over at night, and she can’t even get him on the phone to invite him over earlier. I’m kinda sad about this.
Evan asked Niks over for Love Day. They’re getting on great, except apparently she doesn’t like roses. He made it up to her with a book.
Despite not being official, Evan has asked Niks to move into the house. She gladly accepted. Man, I hope this works out for them, cause it’s gonna be real awkward if it doesn’t.
Niks has become very interested in researching vampires. VERY interested.
Evan prevented a space shuttle from blowing up at work, and he’s really stressed about it because his bosses are mad that he didn’t just launch anyway, but it was a good thing. The astronauts are alive because of him.
Isla has taken to focusing on her career, and pays little attention to Dorian. She refused a deodorant endorsement, and got a lot of fans for it, and she keeps winning online gaming tournaments.
Dorian, like an old man, has taken up woodworking.

How do I get these fuckers a cat? I need to figure that out.

Ghost House, Main House

Time To Catch Up

Posted on May 15, 2019May 24, 2019 by Mila

So Dorian and Isla suddenly want a baby. They’re both about to age up from adults.
Delilah and Zechariah have rekindled their romance after death and are married again. Oh yeah, and I set up a whole house of just ghosts.
As an adult, Abbie is not the kind of person I want for Evan. She’s erratic, mean, and a slob. I might cheat and build him a much better lady.

The last time I played was sometime after this, but I never made a Twitter update for it. I can vaguely recall what went on, so I’ll go ahead and make that my first official new post.

I made two households, one with just the ghosts, since I kept pulling them in as playable. That house has Zechariah, Delilah, and Alexander.
The Main House got a massive upgrade. There’s a lot of space in it now for a thriving family. It still looks like it was a single room that was built up when money was gained, but that’s okay. We love it. It’s our house. It’s got Evan, Dorian, Isla, and Kenzie.
Evan is full on Young Adult now. Has a job. He’s a rocket scientist.
I decided to make him a brand new girlfriend, since Abbie was a really terrible person, and always seemed to drag Evan down when she was around. the new girl is named Niks Wright. She’s spunky and nerdy just like him and very friendly. I set her up in a pretty crap house, fully intending that she’ll just move into the Main House when the time comes.

Because of how long it took to get Niks set up, I didn’t really make a lot of progress in the game. But from here on out, there should be just fun updates!

Main House

I don’t even know what’s going on

Posted on March 27, 2019May 24, 2019 by Mila

MARCH 27, 2019

Kenzie is still doing well. Writing and painting, and raising little Evan. She stayed out of the dating game for a bit, but then one day when she took Evan to the park, she met Natalia. They hit it off right away, and they’ve been talking a lot.
Isla has really hit her stride, and progressed quickly in her programming career. She’s now an eSport steamer. She and Dorian have a very good relationship.
I don’t think either of them want kids, they always have crossed out baby symbols when they talk. They did have a VERY bad date, wherein both the friendship and love meter dropped significantly. They have repaired it. But wow.
Evan has done something no Vang has before, and made friends as a kid. Two! He was flirting with a little girl named Abbie, but it’s weird now since he’s aged up to teenager, and she hadn’t yet.
He managed to meet his aspirations as a kid, and gained the mentally gifted perk. That’s on top of Happy Toddler and Quick Learner. The boy is gonna be brilliant.
Unfortunately, he’s not got the Vang creative streak.
What’s also unfortunate is that since he’s become a teenager, every time Isla enters the same room as him, he becomes flirty. Isla. You know. His aunt.
Abbie aged up, finally, and seems to be really into Evan. Kenzie has started sleeping with the ghost of her husband. …

Family Matters

Posted on March 8, 2019May 24, 2019 by Mila

MARCH 8, 2019

I’ll start this out by saying Sims 4 does not have an inheritance mechanic. Which is bullshit. The last time I plated Sims, I know that the next of kin got things when someone died. That they’d remove that is silly.
So I’ve got everyone split into two households at the moment, to retain houses and fortunes. House A is currently the twins, Isla and Kenzie. House B is Ghost Mom, Delilah, and Alexander Goth. We had some twists and turns last night.
Let’s start with Kenzie. She’s decided she’s really into working out. I don’t know where this came from, but she’s always on the treadmill. She hasn’t found a job yet, but she also writes and paints all day, so there’s actual income from her.
She went full on in her black widow scheme, and got impregnated – on her first woohoo experience, mind – by Alexander. Shotgun wedding. He did not move into the house.
In fact, to make room for baby, Delilah moved in with him, leaving the twins the family home. But she’s still there. All the time. So much, in fact, I’m finding it hard to believe she’s still going to work.
Alexander spends an okay amount of time with Kenzie, but not nearly as much as he had been. And when he’s over, he putters around the house, and kind of ignores Kenzie, while she desperately attempts to get him to acknowledge that she’s pregnant.
When she finally goes into labour, he’s not there at first. He walks in midway through, and proceeds to freak the fuck out. Baby Evan is born. It is IMMEDIATELY evident that Kenzie is going to be a better mother than Delilah. She’s so attentive.
She doesn’t let Evan cry for even two seconds before she’s seeing what he needs. Thank the dark lord for that. Know who else loves baby? Isla. Also attentive! Alexander isn’t awful. When he’s there.
Evan has made it to toddlerhood, and that’s about where I ended it at 4:30am, so let’s have a peek at how Isla is doing.
So, remember how she is the dumb one? Peeing herself and passing out because she won’t leave the computer? She got playing around with programming, which seemed to turn her around. So I pushed her into a tech job. Guess who doesn’t pee on herself anymore?
In fact, Isla is doing really well. Not just at her job. Turns out, she is also really social. She’s got scores of friends now. Just oodles of them.
She likes going out, she likes meeting people, and she likes parties. Who knew finding her a career that makes her happy would have such an impact? (That’s sarcasm. We all knew.)
She met a gal at a party. Her name is Staci. It seemed for a minute that Isla abs Staci were going to have a romantic thing. I actually don’t know what happened here. They’re still friends, but the romance seems to have died out.
She did pick up another romance by the name of Dorian. Dorian is pursuing pretty hard. I think they met at work? I don’t know. Maybe Staci introduced them. He’s always at the house, though. Seems cool.
Isla has also, since Dorian showed up, taken an interest in running. And showering. I think I have to stop calling her the dumb one, now. She was apparently just a late bloomer.
I should also mention that Evan is not bothered AT ALL by the ghosts who are constantly hanging around.

Oh yeah. And I think Alexander is going senile. This is him with Isla. In her bedroom.

Aaaand this is him going outside.

This is Dorian, btw. He always walks like that?

Well. Alexander died. Right after they had another woohoo. That’s not traumatic or anything.
WAIT. WAIT WAIT WAIT. KENZIE JUST FLIRTED WITH THE REAPER.
Maybe… Maybe this was the plan all along. Maybe it wasn’t really ever about Alexander, he was just a means to an end? Can I actually pursue this? Can death be Kenzie’s boyfriend, or am I misreading their giggling?
