Pictures galore!

Posted on by Mila

I have no  idea what this pictures is of, or why I took it. But here. Have it.

Niks and Evan looking at the stars like adorable little cuties.

Kenzie and Horchata watching the mouse hole right before I took it away because the cat wasn’t actually chasing the mice.

It’s Vidie!

Vidie and Niks playing together. It’s so cute I might barf.

Orange pushing Jack on the swings.

Vidie somehow put that bowl up there. I don’t know how. There’s no physical way she could have done it. I need things like this to be fixed.

Isla kidnapping Vidie. Standing in a corner of the yard, where nobody can see her. Like a weirdo creeper.

The kids playing pirate at the park.

Niks getting abducted. She had such a great time. I really wish that when they got abducted, we got to join them in some kind of adventure.

Everybody super sad about Horchata being missing.

Horchata riding the roomba after she returns, not caring that she made everybody completely miserable.

The twins getting ready to age up. All fancy in their party clothes.

Post age-up. They look so distinguished.

Also, it was Neighborhood Brawl during their party, so they celebrated together, and then fought.

Niks fighting Evan while the family watches, cheering them on.

And there’s Niks, getting yelled at by Evan, for flirting with Lilith, who is standing by watching the argument.

Horchata post-surgery in her adorable cone.

I love the cone. It’s really cute. I love Niks, she’s also very cute.

And yet more baby. fuuuuuuuuuu

Posted on by Mila

And today, hopefully, we’ll be focusing on aging up Kai, so that we can have room for a new baby.

  • HOLY SHIT. I just realized something. Jack decided she wanted to be a bear. The bear suit has an orange on it.

SEE. Then, THEN, she met a BOY named Orange. I think this is fate. I think that Jack and Orange are meant to be at least friends. I think I want to see if I can have them be childhood sweethearts, they can grow up and be together. Kind of like I was trying to do for Evan and Abbie, only maybe Orange won’t turn out to be a giant shithead.

 

  • Finally got Kai to the point of aging up. Went ahead and did the last bit of it on twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/darthrabies). It took a little while, and was slightly frustrating. She got really close and then stopped studying her numbers, so I had to force another interaction.
  • Orange came over to play! This is fantastic. Not that Jack paid any attention to him. She was too busy playing with her dollhouse and wearing her bear suit. BEAR SUIT. I love the bear suit.
  • While we were waiting for Kai’s birthday to roll around, Niks gave birth to the new baby. It’s another girl! Her name is Vidie. Vidie looks like Kai and Niks.

Niks and Vidie

  • After Vidie came into the world, a sitter was hired, and the adults went off to celebrate a Night On The Town. It was technically successful, even though they didn’t actually eat. They sat down, they ordered, and the food never got there. Isla had to go to work right at the start, and then Evan started to chat up the next table. After a bit, Niks also started to chat them up. I tried to solve the food problem with some cake, and that only sort of worked. I decided to force a journey home because they were at Chez Llama from 2:30pm to 11pm. That’s too long. This shit needs to get fixed.
  • When they got home, we got to formally meet the nanny that was hired to take care of the little ones. It was the same nanny that neglected Kenzie and Isla when they were little. She’s an elder now, and seems to be a little more attentive, but this makes me nervous. I wish I’d turned aging off AFTER she died.
  • At home, Niks tried to serenade Evan, and he walked away. (Then she later tried again, and he actually lost love for her. Jerk.)
  • There were some mild issues keeping Kai fed until she was ready for her birthday, I started to get afraid that she was going to get taken away right before she aged up. I would have been pissed off.
  • FINALLY. Time to age up the last toddler (except there’s going to be another toddler soon, cause I won’t keep Vidie as a baby long.) I set the event up before hand, so I didn’t have to worry about wrangling people or things. (There were some issues with cake placement, so I almost missed out getting Kai to blow out her candles. Ugh.)
  • Jack no longer wants to be a bear all the time. This makes me much, much sadder than I thought it would.
  • Kai is super cute. That makes me happy. I need to get her side by side with Jack to see how much they look alike.

Kai the birthday girl!

  • Because she’s a level 10 parent, Niks has this really fun skill where she can do really efficient infant care. It’s amazing. It makes baby having so much simpler.
  • Evan is apparently over the depression of quitting his job, he’s started to look after himself again, swimming and working out and painting some. This is a good thing, I was starting to worry about the boy.
  • Kai has decided she wants to be a ninja when she grows up. I’m proud of you, little one.
  • It’s really nice to see that Kai and Jack get along so well. They didn’t seem to when they were toddlers. There was all kinds of mood swings though, so it’s hard to tell.
  • WHY IS EVERYBODY EATING SPOILED FOOD ALL THE TIME. I swear this latest update broke something.
  • Kenzie has gone down to the beach, maybe we’ll find her a kitty this time.
  • Nope. Singing to herself.
  • And making friends with a dog named Asparagus.
  • THERE’S A TINY KITTEN ON THE BEACH NAMED TOFU. Oh, we’re so going to try to adopt this thing.
  • Oh no. Apparently Tofu is aloof, lazy, and a glutton. I don’t know if we want this kitten in the house. I think we’ll look for another cat.
  • Kai keeps making messes all over the house. And here I thought she was the good kid. The one who wasn’t going to be a problem. The quiet one. NOPE.
  • Okay, how about this cat, named Horchata? Let’s see what kind of cat it is.
  • It sounds like a grizzled biker lady who has spent all her years on a Linda Blair Exorcist diet.
  • Introductions are going… okay? I mean, the cat hasn’t walked off yet, which is what there’s been trouble with in the past. Let’s see if we can make friends, and take her home.
  • We’re going to have to age up this baby soon. Can’t take the baby stuff anymore.
  • Kenzie got the cat back to the house, she is not sick, so that’s good. First animal she’s brought home that hasn’t been. Let’s see if we can keep this cat on the property now.
  • Kai and Jack are doing really well in school. But neither of them are following their aspirations. I might have to force some interactions.
  • I know I should turn aging back on sometime soon, but if Kenzie makes friends with this cat, I want her to be able to enjoy it for a bit before she dies, and she’s so close to being an elder… she’s just been trying for so long to adopt an animal.

 

Some rando pictures:

 

I don’t remember if I posted this before, but it’s from the vampires. It’s gotta be the saddest painting ever. I found it on my phone, and felt the need to share.

Remember Delilah? There was a glitch one time where despite being a ghost, she appeared like this. I never inserted it into the blog. Now I”m doing it.

So uh… how are you, floating plumbob?

Kai has passed out in the kitchen during her birthday party. What a way to start your childhood.

Checking in

Posted on by Mila
  • First things first, Evan and Niks need to go on a date. They need to get away from this house and the massive amount of people in it, and the kids. (and also because Evan is still stuck at work despite quitting his job.)
  • Kenzie has decided that she would like to play on the shark slide by herself. Also, it’s raining.

Playin with a shark in the rain.

  • YES. The cow plant has died. Thank the lord below. I cannot risk it eating anybody else. I will be keeping it as a decoration for the house, though. I think I’ll put it over by the graveyard. That seems fitting.
  • Getting Jack ready to age up, just have to finish her thinking skill, and then I’ll only have one toddler in the house. Except both Niks and Evan keep thinking about babies, and they both keep having baby whims. Ugh. Babies.
  • Isla and Kenzie keep eating spoiled food. I don’t know what’s happening here.

Babies that poop together …

  • Kai keeps dreaming about death. I don’t know what this means for the little gal.
  • I seriously cannot get over how very different these kids are. How does this happen? I’m anxious to see them aged up, to see if they got any features that link them to either parent that will stand out aside from skin color.
  • I’m mad that both of them want more kids, but I’m also not because they’re both so great with them.

Look at her with this toddler. Look. It’s cute. I hate that it’s cute.

  • Niks is buff AF right now. Holy wow.

Holy buff, Batman

  • It’s the day! The day that I will have one less toddler! Hooray! I mean, it’s Jack’s birthday, good for her! It’s her we’re celebrating, not our liberation from diapers and crap and crying and all of her effing mood swings!
  • Jack has aged up. We’re giving her the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration and Active for her trait. We’ve also really gotta fix her outfits, this kid is wearing some weird shit. She’s still a redhead, though, so that stuck.

Mom and daughter. No, really.

I jumped on stream to show people what has been going on with the family (especially how Jack is a redhead despite nobody else in the family having read hair), and it was decided that Kenzie should have an on-site vet clinic, since she keeps bringing home strays and they’re almost always sick, and then they wander off before she can get them any kind of treatment. So I guess Kenzie is going to be a vet now. I also made her a little living quarters in the basement, so she can have her own space. There’s no kitchen, because I would like her to spend at least a little  time with the rest of the family.

 

They’re a goth family, the vetpartment needed to have a gargoyle.

Here it is! The vet part! I love it so much.

And Kenzie’s new little apartment.

 

  • Kai’s favorite animal is apparently a cardinal. In talking to Evan about her favorites, the red bird kept showing up in her thoughts. It’s kinda cute, but I’m not sure where she saw one.
  • I love what a great dad Evan is, I can’t lie. He’s so involved with his daughter’s lives. I think he’s trying to make up for the way that Kenzie treated him as a kid, albeit it was much better than how her mother and father treated HER. So maybe as this family line goes, they’ll just get better and better at being parents.
  • I think maybe, just maybe, I can tolerate another kid for these two.

For some reason, they really like to gather here to have family time.

It seems that I wasted a lot of time creating this vet office/apartment (vetpartment) for Kenzie. She cannot treat the stray animals. She can’t do anything with any of it aside from treating pets, so unless I want her to have a dozen pets running around, this entire place is useless.

Back to the drawing board.

I feel really bad for Kenzie. I thought she was about to find something to really fulfill her needs. But no. No, I cannot do that, can I?

The vetpartment was remodeled on stream (twitch.com/darthrabies) into being a new bedroom for Isla. Kenzie’s room is still in the basement, but now the twins each have a space so they can be alone. The door is even locked to the rest of the family to give them some privacy. They don’t really need to be wrapped up in the growing family and all the kids running around. Especially if I give in and let Evan and Niks have their other kid.

 

Here’s Isla’s new room. Went all kind of spoopy for her. I really love it. I am really sad about the vetpartment, but if I can’t have that, this is good enough.

  • Kai is very near aging up, just have to work on that thinking skill, and she’ll be good to go.
  • Jack is on her way to her first play date. His name is Orange? Niks is allowing her to go over by herself, so here’s hoping she doesn’t get into trouble while she’s there. He’s apparently a rising star, too. SO isn’t this fancy.
  • His house is posh, and there are no toys, and I can’t see his parents anywhere.
  • Oh, maybe this Thorne is his dad.
  • This is not going well. There aren’t a lot of interactions she can do.
  • Jack convinced Orange to go swimming, and they finally made friends. Now they’re having a great time.

Jack and Orange.

  • She has stayed past her bedtime, but that’s okay. She met Octavia Moon, and Thorne Bailey, who are apparently huge stars, and they gave her dinner, and it was an okay time. Maybe Orange will be her friend more in the future.
  • Alright. Fine. We’re going to try for another baby. But this time, it’s happening in the rocket.
  • Jack is going through a Phase! She’s discovered her “spirit animal” and is now only ever wearing a bear suit.

The bear suit. It’s kind of awesome.

  • That’s it. Lauryn is no longer allowed in the house. She gets invited over, and the first thing she does is go break the dollhouse? Fuck that. Fuck you, Lauryn. You’re a toxic person, and you’re no longer welcome around the kids, or in the house, and I’m probably not going to let Kenzie hang out with you anymore. Niks is kicking her out.

Lauryn breaking shit, and getting kicked out. FUCK YOU, LAURYN.

  • I’ve given Jack Storm Chaser, cause I’m sick of everyone being afraid of storms. Now the only one left is Kai, and that’s reasonable.
  • EVAN JUST STOLE KAI’S FOOD. WTF EVAN.
  • Aw! Putting the mouse hole in the room brings in little mice! That’s so cute! (Why do I feel like this is going to go down the path of the Cow Plant, wherein I think it’s great until it’s an issue?)
  • Welp, Niks is pregnant.
  • Isla gave Kenzie a fish for some reason, and Kenzie identified it. It’s a guppy. This is great, but, where did Isla get the fish in the first place?
  • Jack is sad because she’s not in her bear form, but she keeps playing outside on the shark slide, so … can’t have it both ways kiddo.

Sad and playful at the same time. Poor girl.

  • Niks is having a real rough time with this pregnancy. More than the other two, she’s sick a lot, and she has to pee ALL THE TIME. I think that this will be her last one.
  • Aaaaand she’s soiled herself because she couldn’t get to the toilet in time
  • I’m really glad Sims can’t die from pregnancy. Really glad. This is super bad. I’ve never seen a sim be this sick while pregnant. She alternates being sick and wanting to vomit, and peeing herself because she can’t get to the toilet fast enough, even if she’s just been.

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.

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.

A Vacation For Reals This Time!

Posted on by Mila

The Vangs have decided to embark on their seasonal vacation. Back to Selvadorada. This time they’re going for longer (since it’s not just me trying to fix a game glitch). Evan and Niks will likely explore the jungle again while Kenzie and Isla do whatever they want to do. Everybody’s way stressed out and tired of the grind, so this should help. Hopefully.

  • The twins have decided to use this vacation to reconnect. They haven’t been very active in one another’s lives since before Evan was born. They’re hanging out and chatting a lot, reading books, and dancing together.

Everybody bonding.

  • Niks is exploring the jungle and making some bad decisions. She has: tried to watch a Jaguar and fallen into a cave of bats, accidentally disturbed fireflies which bother some sloths, tried to distract the fireflies but made them angry – which then made the sloths angry enough to make tree branches fall onto her head, and gotten herself exhausted because she wanted to avoid some totems that looked nasty.
  • Finally, having some luck, Niks makes friends with some sloths and finds a relic. She and Evan make it all the way to the temple. Evan is not having such a great time. He forgot food, and can’t find a bush to fertilize.
  • Inside the temple, Niks gets to work exploring, while Evan passes out in a pee bush outside. When he wakes up, he discovers a bar inside, and makes them both energy drinks. He tries to go sit by the pool to enjoy his, but gets attacked by fire flies, and set on fire.
  • While Evan tries to figure his life out, Niks is busy exploring the place and solving puzzles. She has, unfortunately, contracted something, and been almost hit by a dart, and then actually hit by a dart, but she’s also gotten them further into the temple.
  • Niks has gained something called Ancient Joy, and apparently it’s contagious.
  • It’s night in the temple, and strange things have awakened. Niks has made friends with a skeleton named Boneita Esqueleto. And also she’s been set on fire by fire flies.
  • Niks has given Boneita a gift of a sugar skull. Boneita seems to really like this gift. She has taught Niks a skeleton joke in return.

  • The trio have decided to go for a swim.

  • Evan has been electrocuted a little by lightning bugs.
  • The power has been shut off back home because nobody remembered to pay the bills before they left. Thankfully cellphones exist.
  • The sickness has gotten to Niks. The lightning bugs have gotten to Evan. They’re both dazed in the middle of nowhere. This is probably bad. They’re wandering around in bathing suits, also.
  • Evan is not as into exploring as Niks is, he keeps hanging out at the random bar in the temple and dancing. He’s found a new dance partner by the name of Tibia Maximus. She is, like Boneita, a skeleton.
  • Niks has triggered something wrong, and it scared her so much she peed herself.
  • Isla and Kenzie are NOT enjoying their time here anymore, and it’s annoying Niks. She’s sent Isla home, ending her aunt’s vacation early. If Kenzie ever comes out of the jungle, I imagine she’ll be sent home too, since she’s moping around and crying.  Oh, nope. Evan did it first. Harsh, Evan, sending your mom home from vacation like that.
  • Niks has found her way to the heart of the temple! She has explored as far as she can, and has gained some pretty great rewards. She’ll study some things before she leaves, but she’s anxious to get back to a warm shower and a soft bed.
  • Aaaaand she’s been poisoned again. This time worse. She needs an antidote now, she can’t explore any further. Off to the library. At least it’s easy to order, but she really wanted to explore more. Can’t do that when you’re so dazed you keep dancing by yourself in the middle of an ancient temple.
  • Evan and Niks are spreading the Blessing of the Ancients like some kind of godly herp. Everyone they come into contact with is getting it.
  • Niks is going to need an archeology table when she gets home, she seems to be having a great time authenticating artifacts. Maybe she and Evan can share that office, and expand it some.

  • Back at their rented spot, cleaned, fed, rested, Evan and Niks are quite happy. They’ve taken some time to relax and woohoo before their vacation ends.

The House, expanded

Posted on by Mila

Here’s the house pictures I was talking about needing!

Reminder: The whole lot was moved from Willow Creek to Brindleton Bay because of size constraints in the previous lot. The house began as a very small, one bedroom unit that has just been added onto here and there as space was needed. It has become this ugly monstrosity that I love very much. Everybody needed more room for things (particularly outside things, such as a garden and a telescope), and I wanted to be able to expand. The decision was made during the last play day.

 

I’ve clearly added some roofs to my roof. I was playing around and I kinda like it.

 

Niks’ money tree garden, with all the money trees we used other sim aspiration points to get.

 

Evan’s rocket (not the dirty kind), office, and telescope.

 

The interior of Evan’s office. It’s a nice sanctuary. He’s recently allowed Niks to also use it a little bit.

 

The expanded family cemetery. Apparently sometimes urns become headstones? It happened, so I made the plot bigger.

 

Third floor bedrooms and playroom.

 

Second floor master suite, and … piano bar? I don’t know. Shut up. It’s a thing.

 

Main floor, kitchen, dining room, Isla’s room, living room.

 

Original basement: Art room, writing room, expanded gym area, and strays bedroom.

 

AND NOW! THE BEST PART! THE NEW POOL. I love this pool. I love this pool a lot.

 

Look at this majesty! LOOK AT IT.

It’s filled with glory.

Pictures from the Main House

Posted on by Mila

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

Niks

Evan

Dorian

 

Isla

 

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.
