Time To Catch Up

Posted on 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!

I don’t even know what’s going on

  • 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 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?

Now With Pictures!

MARCH 1, 2019

Me: just gonna play Sims for an hour or so. Me, 4 hours later: *has achieved almost no story, but has moved house to bigger lot, built outbuilding, perfected sim outfits, rearranged house and bought new furniture.*

 

  • Okay, since there was a request, I’m back on the Sims bullshit to get some images of the house. Before I get started on posting that, I have some updates.
  • Getting Ghost Mom back into the family structure also brought back her writing royalties. Which means the twins are no longer in danger from their massive bills and lack of income. I wish this is how real life worked.
  • This means that the dumb sister doesn’t have to be married off now, and she can focus on her videogames. As if she could ever be PRIED AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSEHOLD.
  • This also means the smart sister’s apparent plot to marry the last Goth heir right before he dies to inherit his money is no longer necessary. I might let her see it through anyway. Just to. You know. No reason. I’m not into this black widow idea. What are you talking about.
  • I realize I may have neglected to mention this. She took up a romance with him despite my urging otherwise. She’s “young adult” age, and he’s “elder”. I can’t figure another reason why she’d be doing this.
  • Anyway. Pictures.

 

Here’s the exterior of the house. It started small, and I kept building on. I think it’s got a classic feel of “Hey! We have money now! Let’s add a room!”

 

This whole floor was built to help the parents get away from the children they didn’t take care of. Now it belongs to Smart Sister, Kenzie. I don’t play favourites, what.

 

Main floor, which includes the twins’ old bedroom, which now belongs to Dumb Sister, Isla. Yes, I even crammed her work space in there. I did change the shared downstairs bath to her en suite. I’m not a complete monster.

 

The basement offices and gym. The only way to keep my original Sim, Delilah, happy, since it kept roommate-turned-husband, Zechariah away from her. Seriously. Why did they want to get married so bad? Kenzie uses these rooms now.

 

Backyard mausoleum exterior.

 

Mausoleum interior. The extra urns are because when I moved the house, I did something wrong and it copied everything. They’re empty, and monetarily worthless, so I kept them as decoration.

 

  • All the paintings you see everywhere were done by Zechariah. There’s more that don’t show because I took these in build mode with the walls down. Getting into the spaces to show them off with the walls up is a PITA.
  • For all his faults – being gloomy, clingy, socially inept, I do have to say that Zechariah was a prolific painter. Most of the family fortune comes from the sheer number of masterpieces he cranked out. Or that I made him crank out. Whatever.
  • Is it sweet or weird that Kenzie AND her elderly boyfriend both just had their first kiss?
  • I swear to god if Isla pees herself or passes out from exhaustion one more time because she refuses to get up from the fucking computer, I’m gonna find a way to set her on fire. THIS IS WHY I CALL YOU THE DUMB ONE, ISLA.
  • Also, in death, Delilah and Zechariah have forgotten they were married, and are starting a new romance. I mean. Guys. You kinda failed at this once already.

It just keeps going.

FEBRUARY 28, 2019 ( this was more of a real-time update, I was posting as things happened.)

 

  • Sims update: The twins are in high school. Both of their parents just died unexpectedly. One twin was able to beg the reaper to spare mom, and then immediately befriended him. Mom died two days later anyway. Neither has a job. I don’t know if royalties keep coming…
  • Strongly considering marrying the dumb sister off to a rich family so nobody starves…
  • Well. At least the girls are better at parties than their parents. Maybe that means they’ll have more than 3 friends total between both of them.
  • Dilemma: the girls get sad when in the room with the urns of their dead parents. The girls also get sad when they don’t have access to the urns. Solution: back yard mausoleum.
  • Well. Mom’s a ghost and a playable part of the household now, so… This won’t go badly.

In The Beginning

Posted on by Mila

(I begin this adventure on a weekend when a pet isn’t doing so well, and it starts with the free base game thanks to EA Access. I figured that I would just have a tiny house with these two Sims and forget about it when the weekend was over. HAHAHA. These first posts are all transfers from Twitter.)

FEBRUARY 11, 2019

  • First of all, obviously, my sim is goth. Because duh. She’s also a loner, and a creative genius writer. (There’s no self insert, shut up). I had her about two sim days before I decided to make her a roommate. He, also goth, is gloomy and clingy.
  • I had not intended them to get together. I was going to have her find somebody outside of the house. Him, too, eventually. So of course they fell in love. I tried to stop it. I couldn’t. No matter how much I made her flirt with her neighbour lady, she kept going back to him.
  • They even started to sleep in the same bed. Fine. FINE. They can have each other. He starts a painting career. She, writing. She gets pissed when he’s around, he gets sad when she’s not. Why did they insist on this?
  • I make them separate work spaces in the house, and it helps a little. She can write in peace, then have meals with him. It’s kind of a balance. Strangers keep coming around, but neither one is interested in friends. Well, that’s not healthy, so I force them to meet others.
  • There’s a couple parties that fail for them both, people keep insisting on hanging out, nether sim cares for the company, but also don’t care if they just come over. They’re failures, socially speaking. (Why is this my life.)
  • Eventually, she proposes. They start having baby wants. Instead of a big wedding, I have them elope (since they both suck so much at parties). Shortly after, she gets pregnant. He celebrates a little, but for the most part, it’s just her vomiting a lot and still going to work.
  • I get the notice that they can both take family leave, and that she’s near her due date. Neither of them will stop going to work. Suddenly, she’s in labour. He doesn’t notice. He’s playing videogames in the basement. I try to get him upstairs. No luck.
  • I’m stressed out, she’s wandering around the house with these “SHE’S IN LABOUR” alerts happening. Then, boom. Baby. No. Wait. BABIES. Twins. Fuck. But he’s finally showed up.
  • Now they’ve got twin girls. The babies are pretty well behaved, which is great for me. But. Neither of the parents will take family leave still. The day after birth SHE GOES BACK TO WORK. The day after that, SO DOES HE. Thank jebus the game has a nanny service.
  • I’m starting to be very glad the babies don’t have much issue, because when they do, they get ignored. I have to force one of the parents to go take care of them when they cry. I don’t know how many times I was threatened with protective services.
  • Babies become toddlers. I discover both Sims are VERY BAD PARENTS. I have to hire the nanny even when they’re not working, or the kids sit starving in their own filth. WTF is even happening.
  • BUT THEN, the fucking NANNY starts to neglect them! She will sit and watch television instead of changing diapers. The kids have become so self sufficient, that all they need help with is food and bathing. (After a few times of “potty help”, they could do it on their own)
  • And thank god, since none of the adults apparently give a shit about them. They teach themselves to speak, to play games, to read a bit. They never break things, they don’t fight. They PUT THEMSELVES TO BED because their parents don’t.
  • They’ve aged into children now, and don’t need any of the adults anymore, which is good. They get themselves to school, they generally care for themselves and each other. The adults go to work and then fuck around at home unless I purposefully make them do other things.
  • And that’s it so far. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed this edition of My Sims Are Assholes.

 

FEBRUARY 13, 2019

–  My Sims Are Assholes brief update: The husband is currently stuck in a loop. He is jittery and loopy from caffeine, AND HE KEEPS DRINKING COFFEE. I can’t stop it. I’ve tried so hard. The twins have taken to cleaning the house, since the adults won’t.
