Fantasyrogue's Sim Stuff

Notice

fantasyrogue — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 20:12:13 GMT

I am aware of the currently broken images (thank you photobucket, sigh). I am working on a solution but it may take a while yet due to time constraints and waiting on getting a place to put the images. I will fix the broken images with time but for now I apologize for the lack of them.

I have put in a fix for all the images on my three tutorials, so those are currently readable.

Again, my apologies. Hopefully it won't take me too long to fix things.

(Also, hi. Yes, I am still alive.)

Plastered in Paris - Redux

fantasyrogue — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 04:06:01 GMT

I made these posters (well, edits of existing posters) for Sims 2 back in the day (here), and my good friend Medinaquirin reminded me of them recently. Since I hadn’t really tried making paintings and since I could use them in my game, I decided to transfer them to TS3.

So, this download contains one painting (clone of an EA basegame painting that shows up as a new painting) that costs 100 simoleons and has 30 presets, one for each of the original Plastered in Paris TS2 posters. The frame is recolourable.

Download

(special thanks to Medinaquirin for both reminding me of this and for the first preview image)

Collection Post for Garden of Shadows Uploads

fantasyrogue — Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:15:16 GMT

With Garden of Shadows having been gone a while now, I figured it was time to make sure these items were obtainable someplace (that place being, my place here). So, I'm providing in this post links to all the things I uploaded to Garden of Shadows in the past. I'll put pictures in the post as much as I can but I'm not rewriting all the info with each post. Think of this more as an archive than a detailed download post.

Stopped being lazy long enough to update my content list. I think I've got everything linked up there again.

Aside from that.. Happy Easter everyone :)

Run Through the Jungle - A TS3 Plantsim Default

fantasyrogue — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 04:48:53 GMT

Wow, it's been almost exactly a year since I posted anything over here. I apologize, I've not really created anything in.. about that long, nor wanted to do legacy stuff so I've mostly been posting random pictures on my tumblr.

But! (hee)

I actually have something for you guys!

I've really been enjoying the plantsims that came with University Life but man, that body overlay they have is.. not that great. So I've made this default replacement. This replaces the overlay accessory (and only the accessory overlay, not the green skintone your plantsims get) that gets automatically applied to plantsims ages child to elder, male and female. Because it is an accessory it can be recoloured in CAS (or atleast I've been able to do so, just by selecting it on the sim in the accessory bin, I do use MasterController though) so you can change the colours to whatever you feel suits your plantsim best. (For some more pictures, including some different colours and lighter underlying green skintone, check here)

Download

I'm here, honest.

fantasyrogue — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 02:09:26 GMT

Figured it was high time to send out a note to all to show that I am still alive and kicking. Yes, I know the Magellans haven't been updated in a while and unfortunately it'll be a while longer before I get around to it. A combination of not wanting to play the family and other games have kept me from making much progress (I have *some* pictures, just not really enough). I *will* get back to it though, don't worry! (Just not this week or next, I've got Mass Effect 3 to play! And a short vacation to Barcelona).

As for other things, I did play the Sims a bit and mostly busied myself with messing around in Lunar Lakes (which I, predictably, rather like. I'm a sucker for alien things). I may or may not post up some pictures of what I've been up to in there. I've got loads, since I was trying out a Nothing is Free challenge, but I'm reluctant to start posting and become obligated to keep that up too. Especially since I have a habit of dropping challenges sometimes. I did also order Showtime, which I'll probably play and maybe picspam at some point (I have plans for a certain green alien sim) but since I'm also getting Mass Effect 3, as I said above, that may not be right away :P

And in more Sims related news. I have one of those newfangled Tumblr thingies now :P You can find me here.

And also, I've been trying to make a better version of my TS3 Castor Sim (for myself), so I took another stab at facial hair and this time also eyebrow creating.

I think it's come out really well! First time I've managed to make some eyebrows that I didn't completely botch.

I've got the eyebrows working more or less well for all ages and both genders now (though they don't look exactly the same across all, due to the way the game works, but close enough). Gotta figure out the custom thumbnail thing though. Also, do people prefer everything in one package or male and female and such seperated out?

Anyway, so yeah, that's what's up with me right now *waves*

Old LJ Post Funtimes!

fantasyrogue — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:02:48 GMT

Ugh. Finally managed to fix the old Miller download post. Had to redo all the links because LJ kept giving me a formatting error. Also, some of them were dead or pointing to sites that no longer exist. And all of this because apparently Mediafire decided it was a good idea to delete some of the Millers. Joy!

All should be fixed now though.

I hope.

The Magellan Legacy - 3.2

fantasyrogue — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:20:00 GMT

Happy New Year!

The long delayed next installment of the Magellans is here. Again, my apologies for the delays I've mostly just not been up to writing it and with all the family stuff and Christmas and whatnot..well.

Anyway, last time:

- Freya died :(
- Ares had some issues with his siblings
- Truman moved in
- The family got a dog, Maera
- And the family was expanded with FOUR children! (Sirona, Belenus, Taranis and Camma)

And we start with Sirona and Maera playing together for the cute.

Cute. But Sirona, you don't have to be so excited about winning.

She and Belenus are cute kids though.

And they actually get along.

Truman: *dreams about being watched*

These two are so active, running around playing everywhere.

Sharing ghost stories.

And of course the family's addiction to the TV continues. Even the dog joins in.

Ooh, good job Truman (also this shows that people are making money in this household.. sometimes :P).

Bills though, we don't want those.

See, hyperactive and all over the place.

I can't remember what this picture was for. Truman's birthday that I forgot perhaps?

Probably. Happy Birthday, Truman?

Oh and another birthday.

Truman: Woo! We're middle aged!
Ares: Ugh.You don't have to be so excited about it.

Ooh, even more birthdays. Why is it they all seem to fall so close together?

Toddler Camma and Taranis.

Maera: Hey, hey! Wake up! Hey! Gotta pee! Hey!

Maera: Oops, too late!
Ares: What the...!

Maera: And now, nap times!

Ares: Dad?
Jonny: No time to chat son, things to do, places to go.

Ares is busy himself anyway.

Maera: ...?
Ares: Did you pee on the floor again?!
Maera: .... :P ? Derp?

Ares: Arrgh, why!? Why me!?

Ares: WHYYYYY?!
Maera: Bath time? Yes yes?

Truman meanwhile has escaped the house to indulge in his favorite hobby.

And apparently stray dogs are now hanging out outside the front door looking for food.

Embla died (she got really old, especially compared to Freya!). The family took it hard.

Ares: They're taking it hard?! What about me! I haven't slept properly in days, kids and toddlers are screaming and there's a dog peeing all over my floors!?

Well, whose idea was it to have two sets of twins?

Don't be dramatic, Belenus, you barely knew the woman.

And just as quickly moods can swing.

For it is birthday time! (again)

Belenus

And Sirona.

And that would be one of the ghosts again probably, being a massive pain in the butt.

Ares: Ugh, my ghostly grandparents getting frisky. I am too tired to deal with this. Do not want.

Truman: What the hell is going on in my bed!?

Yeah so getting more than a little frisky. Wow. o.O

I am just going to assume the Woohooer is to blame for this one.

Now that I have teenagers around the house, the whole twin toddlers thing has become easier to manage.

And now for this classy "Truman got invited to an ex-housemate pixel_trade party" intermission.

(starring ageiha's Drake and rhiannon_alexis's Orion with his back to the camera)

Act 1:

Where Truman is gifted lots of flowers.

(also starring arzuna's Marcus, I do believe)

Act 2:

Where Truman brags about his much bigger new digs.

Act 3:

Where there are more flowers being handed out.

(lol Truman, that face)

And we end this piece on a musical number

(Oh look, engram_au's Jessica and simtarts Royal snuck in on the last picture)

This intermission was sponsored by Daisies & Co, your stop for everything floral.

Meanwhile at home, someone is still frustrated.

Where are you going?

Ares: Not now! Leave me alone!

Oh no.. tell me that is food poisoning? Please?

Just when I thought things were winding down too.

How did this even happen!? WHEN!?

Belenus: Feeeeed me!

Feed yourself, there is cake on the table.

Belenus: But we've been eating left over cake for months!

I don't care.

Maera: Clean, clean clean!

Ares: Urk!
Maera: Puking not clean! D:

Maera: Aw, no biting mailperson. Hungry :[

With teen age comes some minor responsibilities.

Or following in your music loving dad's footsteps.

Really?

I would never have guessed at any point in this update that you were stressed.

And then they just got out of the car miles from the house :| (and travelled back individually)

Maera: Oooh, food! What is it?! Fish?

Maera: Hope it's not vegetables.

Maera: Hmm.. what about lobster? Lobster's nice.

Maera: Why are you going to bed? Where is my food?
Truman: (ugh, damn that dog sometimes).

Prom!

Oh good job, Belenus, Can't even make it to the limo on time?

Yes, your sister did just leave you on the sidewalk by yourself.

And while those two are out partying, quick toddler spam.

Hm, looks like someone is trying to follow in grandma's footsteps.

Yes, it's a nice evening. Truman is out on the town again.

The teens are out having fun (well, Sirona is) at the prom... in their own way.

And Ares is going into labor.

Wait, what?

Yes, Ares has the best timing for this stuff.

Atleast everyone is totally excited in anticipation (except me and probably Ares himself)

*weeps*

Why me ;_; Why this family!? Why Ares, why!?

(I'd give you their names but I forgot them and I can't look it up right now >.> Next time)

Well atleast someone got a badass gnome?

And on that gnome I am ending the update.

Tune in next time to see how the Magellans (and I) handle SIX kids D:
Warnings: Language, kids, dog and a lot of flowers.

Next Update?

fantasyrogue — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 03:23:28 GMT

Sigh, has it been a month since the last update already? Sorry last month's been... messy. I mean, mostly this is my fault, I have been slacking since I have the pictures for another update and have had them for a while but I was too busy keeping myself busy with working on my art, playing Skyrim and other non-Sims video games (a lot) and trying not to think about having to write an update >.< Sinus problems and my uncle's cremation didn't exactly motivate me either. Bleh, excuses, excuses.

I'll try and get something up before the holidays atleast.

Skyrim Picspam

fantasyrogue — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 03:37:31 GMT

Yes, Glenn, I am a TEASE!

Anyway *cough*, so yes. Skyrim's caught me too, like it has so many others. By now I've been playing this game for the entire past week (got the game last Saturday), pretty much non-stop. I am such an addict XD. But Elder Scrolls games get me every damn time (ever since Daggerfall, actually, though none manage to make me relive that.. probably because it's not as new anymore. I've become a jaded old person :P)

And since I have this LJ to picspam, I may as well picspam this XD Most of the shots are just scenery and my character, I don't think there's any specific huge spoilers in here. Maybe some armor pictures (not what it is or where you get it), a conversation or two (but not where it happened or how) a power (not how I got it) and an easter egg or two.

Apologies for the small pictures, they do not truly do the game justice.

The heroes of our tale:

My character, by the time I got some elven armor (has since changed, but hey).

Erik, faithful companion and resident pack mule. Also frequent target of verbal abuse by my hands.

And hero 3, my first horse. By now, sadly, this horse met her untimely demise at the hands of... I don't actually know what, she just disappeared. I've since gotten a new, different, horse.

Anyway, this game has things!

Like, dragons!

Dangerous dungeons full of traps and foes!

Strange and interesting encounters!

(this, btw, has been the best quest in the game so far)

(this one should look familiar to veterans of the games)

BEARS! Oh no, not the bears!

The game also has...

Horses with a penchant for murder.

Companions with excellent aim (damn you, Erik!)

Hairy situations.

Companions deciding that dual-wielding staves is where it's at when you give them something to carry (damn you again, Erik!)

Magic, of course.

And thievery.

But most of all, of course, beautiful scenery.

And with that, me and my character bid you goodbye till the next post.

And a good night. May your valuables stay safely where you left them ;)

The Magellan Legacy - 3.1

fantasyrogue — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:55:22 GMT

Welcome back to the Magellan Legacy! I warn in advance, there will be a lot of dog spam in this as I'd just gotten Pets and got a bit carried away >.>

Anyway, previously on the Magellan Legacy *insert soap opera tune*

- Ares was declared heir and spent most of the update declaring his lack of desire for romance
- Hermes and Hephaestus moved out
- Jonny sadly passed away
- Ares befriended brilliantcat's Truman Primm
- And, courtesy of me, got pregnant

Onward!

------------------------

Now where were we, oh right!

Ares: I feel sick... I probably look awful too.

Cheer up! You'll feel better in a few sim days, promise! :P

Ares: I still hate you and I'll get you back for this, you'll see.

Step one of this revenge plan is flooding the house?

Ares: Shut up, not my fault these things are of terrible quality.

Well, you could make more money so you could buy better ones?

But seeing as how you also broke the laptop when you popped...well..

Ares: So mom, I do believe we're going to need to start stocking up on baby bottles soon.
Freya: Oooh! :D

Freya: (now if I could only get my other sons to give me some grandkids, or atleast a daughter or son in law... maybe by force...)

Truman: So how exactly...
Ares: *grumbling* Divine Intervention
Truman: What?
Ares: Uh.. alien genes and such...

Ares got invited to a party Hephaestus was hosting. And before he got through the door, jens_sims Shane Decker accosted him for a discussion about politics.

A very deep, serious discussion obviously.

Ares: Hey brother, I got you a house warming gift!

Hephaestus: Don't want it!
Ares: What?

Hephaestus: We're not friends, I won't accept your gifts
Ares: Well screw you too.

Apparently that was reason enough for Ares to break Hephaestus' toilet...

It's like Ares has some kind of cursed touch when it comes to plumbing.

But by the end of the party, they were back on speaking terms. Atleast... speaking and listening to Ares' unborn child terms, I suppose.

Meanwhile back at home, Freya gets the honour of being the first of the Magellan family to reach her LTW! (which was reaching rank 10 in the criminal career).

What will her next goal be?

Retirement!

What.

Hephaestus....

Meanwhile Ares is still writing with great success *coughs*

But... she just retired! D:

:[

;_;

Really now...

Oh great, that's some really great timing you have there Ares.

Ares: SHUT UP! NOT SPEAKING TO YOU! STILL HATE YOU.....OWWW!

Ares: I really wish my mommy was here ;_;

Yes yes, I wish she was too, now get thee to a hospital already.

Uhm, what's this?

Ares: I believe that would be twins

...

Anyway, their names are Sirona and Belenus.

Ares: Dude, I just got home from the hospital, could you not call at another time?

Course he couldn't, you know him.

<3

It's nice to have a shoulder to cry on.

Ares: I'm sorry for bothering you *sniff*
Truman: Nah man, that's what friends are for right?

And not to randomly come by and praise your written works and then leave again... looking at you sixamsims Bartzz Tipona.

It's becoming a regular haunted house in the Magellan house.

Twins birthday party! :D

Ares: It was really cool of you to drop by, brother.
Hephaestus: Hey, no problem.

If only Hermes had deigned to show up too, but alas.

Truman did though.

Truman: So, I was thinking since you're living up here all alone taking care of two kids, maybe you'd like to move in with me and my friends? We'd all help.
Ares: Yeah, I think I'll pass.. I like this house.

(heh, autonomous ask to move in)

Or were you just asking because you wanted something to distract you from the broken heart there, Truman?

Wait a minute. Isn't that one of the guys Hephaestus is....

Good thing Hephaestus left then!

And Ares, why the hell are you putting the baby on the floor!?

Truman: That seriously broke my heart.
Ares: I am sorry, my brother's an ass.
Truman: It's ok, I've got my eye on some others.
Ares: Haha, Never a moment's rest?

Apparantly birthdays get drum solos now.

:D

Freya! :D

I didn't know ghosts could do that

Freya: Come here little man and smile for grandma!

Freya: Now grandma's going to introduce you to a very important thing. The *television*!

And thus a new TV addict was born.

Why are all my sims families such winners at raising children? :|

Really Ares? You had no idea your own brother was loaded?

And then you felt a need to gossip about it?

Ares: So hey, you asked me last time if I wanted to move in but I've been thinking. Why don't you move in here, there's plenty of room. I promise I won't get in your way and I could really use a hand with the kids.

Truman: Weellllll, I dunno. Do you promise to take the trash out on a regular basis?
Ares: :|

He did say yes

Ares: SWEET, finally some help with the twins! It's been terrible by myself.

:D

And then I added a dog to the family. This is Maera, she's playful, likes to swim and is a bit clueless.

Jonny: What do you think you're doing?
Maera: Couch! Couch soft!

Maera: Maera can sense food in dreams. Maera hungry!

Maera: Eggs, flour and milk make food! FOOD!

Maera: NOM NOM NOM

Ares and Truman catching a toddler raising break.

Maera: Toys!

Maera: TOY!

Ares is certainly enjoying Maera's enthousiasm with the toy.

Maera: WALK, take me for a walk! Yes!

They ended up driving to the dog park.

Hey, the house happens to be quite a distant from the park, ok!

Maera: What? You don't like dog spam?

Maera: Dig, dig..

Maera: Must dig up all the yard!

Maera: Bring the paper!

Maera: Take the paper! Take it!

...

Maera: Why won't you take the paper?

I can't help the spam, Pets was new and she's cute

Aw, aunt Sif died.

Toddler spam instead?

Or both! Toddler and dog spam!

Ares is making good use of that friends with benefits living in your house arrangement, I see.

Maera: KITTY!

Not sure that cat looks happy to see you, Maera.

Ares, what's this?

Oh no.... Don't tell me that woohoo was a risky woohoo?

Ares: I'm sorry, did someone say something, I couldn't hear that over the MYSTERIOUS throwing up I was doing!

Why would you go and do this!?

Ares: I dunno, someone apparantly decided I had a uterus now and since I have one I might as well use it?

... I hate you.

Doggy hugs make everything better!

And doggy belly rubs :D

Ares: Yes and I'd like that one, and that one.. oooh.. and that one!

It's that he's so cute

Birfdays!

Sirona

And Belenus

Maera: New person, must sniff!

Not new, you silly dog. Just older.

I hope that's a brilliant idea for a new book that'll make lots of money for the new baby, Ares.

Oh.

Well atleast it's more cute!

Smoochies!

Belenus: Aw man, growing up means homework? :[

Yes, but also story time!

Sirona: Daddy, I want a story too!

And so Ares told her this exciting tale. One he wrote himself too!

Really?

What are you looking at the *dog* for, Truman?

Well, shit.

Truman: So... tired
Ares: Alas, I think our days of sleeping are officially over.

Yes, yes they are. And with the birth of Taranis and Camma, I end this update.

Damn you Ares, for making my life more difficult.

See you guys next time!

Warnings: Language, woohoo, dog spam, etc.

Download a Magellan

fantasyrogue — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:08:18 GMT

I don't know if there's interest but it never hurts to get this up and going. Besides, more sims is always good!

This post will (hopefully) contain all Magellan heirs and their siblings (not the siblings offspring, that'd be a bit much). All Magellans have been stripped of their CC (except for their skin colours). I will include links to CC I used for them where possible.

Important: A lot of the Magellans use custom skintone colours. You will probably need this download for the colours to show up properly. They also use Cmar's Elf Ear Slider.

They or their parents have also more than likely been made with other facial sliders, as long as you don't try and change their facial features this should not be a problem.

Also credit goes to katu_sims for Sif's face and maranatah for Hermes' face (since they're facial clones of their parents).

Anyway, on to the downloads!

Generation 1

Astraeus Magellan

Freckles (they're mint coloured, full face)

The Magellan Legacy - 3.0

fantasyrogue — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:52:17 GMT

Hey, another update! And not too late this time!

So, a quick recap of last time:
- The kids grew up into teenagers.
- Annoying teenagers who insisted on pranking the entire household on a near constant basis
- There were a few arguments and a few fights
- And then two of the teenagers grew into, somewhat well adjusted (ahem, no) adults and Ares was picked as heir!

Ares: Booyeah! I'm heir supreme!

Not sure how happy you'll be about this down the line.. but hey! Woo!

Showoff.

Lol, most likely to be a sports star? I don't think so (oh he's athletic, don't get me wrong, but that's not his LTW :P)

So Ares, now that you're legacy heir.... See all those people being all flirty and talking of romance? How about it?

Ares: Ha, no. I've no interest in that, thank you very much. Friends are good enough for me, friends and my books.

Well, ok that's fine. But this is still a legacy. How are you thinking we'll get to the next generation?

Ares: Your problem, not mine. I'm happy as I am. You work something out.

(ghostpassenger's Hidra Atmos and geaks' Beryl Sinclair, respectively.. also random old man)

I can't convince you to chat up the nice young lady over there?
(rhiannon_alexis Shaula Meissa also I believe that is sixamsims Bartzz Tipona hiding behind the bartender)

Ares: Nope, sorry.

How about him?
(ageiha's Drake Beaufort again, he likes showing up a lot)

Ares: No, now leave me to my drink in peace and stop badgering me!

Alright, I'm sorry! No need to break an arm over it. I'll leave you to it and go check out things at home then.

Ares: You do that. Also... ow.

Imaginary ~~Friend~~ Douche: Your mom sucks. And she's ugly.
Hephaestus: You leave my mom out of this! And she's not ugly, she's the world's most gorgeous person, everyone's eye candy!

Freya: I can't believe you just tried to pull that stunt! I'm very angry with you, young man!
Hephaestus: (woooow, Mom's stunning! Wait, what?! Why am I even thinking this? It is like some weird involuntary effect keeps happening. Like she has some kind of creepy aura of stunning)

Watching a cooking show with your dead mother. ++

I wonder why a ghost would even bother.

And since, as much as I love him, we've no real need for the poor guy. Hermes gets to take a one-way trip into town. Don't worry, he gets to be randomly shoved in a mansion (thank you "kick out" option, very realistic).

Ares never really stopped saluting his father. Atleast someone shows him some respect.

Oh look Ares, an eligable bachelorette *HINT HINT*.

Ares: Uh no. I really don't want to talk to her.
Esme Aighs (bondchick_nett): Yeah well, I don't want to talk to you either, ass.

You sure I can't convince you? Look cptnsimdecision's Drio Embassy is actually willing to touch you! That's something, right?

Ares: .... Seriously, I'm just saying hello.
Drio: Hi!

Ares: Stop trying to hook me up with people!

Bartzz: Nobody is hooking up with anyone, it's midnight! People are trying to sleep! GO HOME!
Drio: (He said hi to me, what a nice guy *off in own world*)

Ok, you know what. Fine. You get what you want, I'll stop trying to make you romance people.

Ares: Good! I can get on with my life and continue working on my novels in peace and quiet! .. Though I wish we had a typewriter, I really hate computers.

(I'll get you yet, you difficult bastard)

Hm. Something tells me I've spent too much time focusing on Ares and not enough on what the rest of the house has been up to.

Jonny: Keep playing son, we'll get some discipline into you yet after all those pranks.
Hephaestus: I just wanna go to bed ;_; And I told you before, that was my imaginary friend!
Jonny: You need to work on your excuses.

Ares likes writing Science Fiction. Maybe it's because the town's mostly populated with aliens. Except then it wouldn't really be science *fiction*, would it?

Jonny: *stares out the window*

What's out there?

Jonny: Nothing, just contemplating my long life.
Poseidon: Pfft, *your* long life? I can't even feel my fins anymore. And still nobody got me a new castle.

Ares: Hey Hermes. No everything's going well. Oh the garden gnomes haven't invaded your new home yet? No that's good... Here? Oh fine, though there appears to be a bit of a garbage smell around the place. Maybe the trash compactor broke.

Freya: *innocent*

Birthday!

Jonny: Honey, seriously! TAKE A SHOWER!
Freya: Stop telling me what to do, you old coot!
Jonny: Then stop smelling like trash!

Freya: You KNOW my back's been bothering me! It gets difficult to wash my own back!
Jonny: Ugh, I see how it is... *whispering* Go start the shower, I'll join you in a minute
Freya: *winks*

Freya: Shouldn't you take a break from that thing sometime?
Ares: Mmmhm.

Actually he does take breaks to stretch every now and again.

I don't think he's left the kitchen in days though.

Freya's still working on her physique for her career in crime. Just because you're old...

Everyone's excited about Hephaestus' graduation!

Ares: (So tired)
Freya: I'm so hungry
Jonny: Meh.

Freya: No wait, not just hungry. YAWN.
Hephaestus: (Who is awesome? I am!)

Jonny: Nobody left the fireplace burning, did they? *worry worry*

Dude. Nobody's ever turned it on in the first place. I nearly forgot we *have* a fireplace in this house.

Ares is shocked to find his grandfather roaming the halls at night.

Although not as shocked as finding his grandfather using his computer.

Ares: Get out of the way, grandpa! I need to write!
Astraeus: I don't see why I have to move, it's night. Go to bed and let the ghosts have their gaming fun, damnit!

Ares: I thought you wanted to game.
Astraeus: Eh, I can't seem to beat your grandmother's high score.
Ares: Does that mean the computer is available again?

Hephaestus: Hey brother!
Ares: Why does everyone insist on following me around?!
Hephaestus: Good morning to you too.

And since I forgot to post a picture of what Hephaestus looks like as an adult after his birthday. Tadah! There he is!

(sorry)

Freya: You can't just come in here and change the channel!
Jonny: You weren't even watching, you had your eyes closed!
Freya: SO!? I can sit here and nap while having a cooking show on!
Jonny: Mm, I like it when you shout at me...

Freya: YOU! I don't know who you are but how dare you just walk in here just when it's getting interesting!
~~Unknown Guy~~ Kirk: I didn't know anyone was in here!
Jonny: Honey, leave the kid alone. You do know him, he's one of Hephaestus' old high school friends.
Freya: Don't care! He interrupted a perfectly good shouting match! *slap*

Hephaestus: Dad, I can't believe you didn't stop mom! That is a friend of mine!
Jonny: Look son, you know what a risk it is to interrupt your mother in anything.
Hephaestus: Still, you could have tried something! GAH!

Jonny: Hmm, I feel kinda tingly for some reason....

Grim Reaper: GREETINGS, Tis that time again!
Hephaestus: D:

Hephaestus: Nooooo! And the last thing we did was fiiiiiight!!

Hephaestus: I'll finish your mac n cheese in your honor, dad. ;_; *promptly burns it*

Freya: Oh my dear husband! *weeps* When I get my hands on you in the afterlife I'll personally kick your ass for leaving me alone!

Ares: Excuse me, I'm upset too!
Freya: Shush son, I'm trying to watch TV.

Hephaestus: Don't worry about her, you know how she gets. Antagonistic is her middle name.

Kirk's visiting again too for... no reason >.>

Kirk: So, what's it like being dead?

Kirk: Hey so, I was thinking. Since we both don't have a lot, we could share rent dude! You could move away from your mother and live the high life!
Hephaestus: Awesome! I'm outta here!

And so Hephaestus suddenly left.

>.>

Ares: What!? He left me all alone with our mother!?

Ares: You could atleast get off the sofa and out of the living room from time to time.
Freya: And you could leave me alone and worry about your own life.
Ares: Fine! I'm going out!
Freya: You do that!

Well! This is going just great!

I'm sorry Ares. Your mother's never very good at being kind.

Ares: That's ok, I'll drown my sorrows in this book.
Female townie: Pfft, wasting your time in a park reading books taking up benches meant for older people like me. The youth of this day and age.
Truman Primm (brilliantcat): Wow, talk about rude.

Truman: Hey, you're Freya's kid right? I'm an old friend of hers. Hey, don't worry about that old lady.
Ares: *sadface*
Truman: Man, you look like you could use a drink. Come on, I'm buying.

Ares: I really could do with a snack more than anything...

Ares: *starts sniffling again*
Truman: Nonsense! Bartender, buy this man some stiff drinks!

Bartender: Will this be enough?
Ares: Uh...

And then they went to the sports bar and played Riverview's favorite game. Foosball.

(I know there was a foosball table at the last bar too. I don't know either).

Freya: Good grief where've you been!? Most sane people are in bed by now!
Ares: Ugh, and I would be too if you'd stop constantly harping on me!

Freya: It hasn't been easy, has it? I'm sorry. *hugs*
Ares: Thanks mom.. (but seriously, I'd really like to sleep).

Freya: How's the new novel coming along then?
Ares: Oh pretty well, I've just wrapped up a major plot point about the rabid space bunnies. I just need to save this...

Computer: *crashes*
Ares: AAARGH! THIS IS WHY I HATE TECHNOLOGY! SCREW THIS, I'M GOING TO GET DRUNK!

I just now noticed there's a little plumbob in that drink.

Ares: Nonsense bartender, I can handle another drink *hic* I'm pre...purr...perfectly sober.
Bartender: Mmhm *rolls eyes*.
Ares: I'll prove it! *hic*

Ares! I can see that dart on the floor! Put those darts down right now before you put someone's eye out.

Ares and Truman have started hanging out more often. Watching and discussing sports and other such deep discussions.

Like...

...wedding cakes?

Ares: I'm just saying, I don't see the point in romance. It just doesn't do anything for me.
Truman: I get you. But I think there's something really nice about those fluttery feelings and starting a new relationship. I love it every single time.
Ares: Maybe for you. I just don't get it. Sure the sex part and all that, but romance? Nah. No wedding cakes or anything for me.
Truman: Ha, wedding cakes. I think I'll pass on that too. (I'll take the other part though).

(Truman has like, I don't know how many relationships going at the same time, for some reason)

Ares' book is back on track too.

Ares: And here you still are, in the living room surely just gotten up from lounging on the sofa watching TV again.

Ares: You can be so lazy, mom!
Freya: Well we can't all think the TV is a plague to be avoided, like SOME people I know!

Ares: Books are just more fulfilling... oh bah, let's just agree to disagree.
Freya/Ares: *relationship minus*

I decided to throw a party for Hermes (who we haven't seen since he moved out near the start of this update) since it's his birthday. Also an excuse for me to buy a bar.

As we see, Sif's still around.

Cheap drinks for all!

Embla's still kicking too. The lady in the middle is Juliana, one of her children (the one that *hasn't* been seen before, unlike the other two, you know, Cousin 1 and 2).

Everyone: *focuses on the cake*
Ares: *focuses on the alcohol instead*

Hermes: *does the happy birthday dance*

Ares: Ugh, I don't know what dance that is but loud music and loud clothing and those movements... my poor brain.

Ares: Soooo.. this may be the drink talking but...
Truman: Yes?
Ares: I was wondering if you were interested in uh... blowing off some steam with me...? No strings attached?

Truman: You're sure about this?
Ares: Absolutely.
Truman: No strings?
Ares: Nothing. I told you, I don't want a relationship, I don't want romance. But, to put it crudely, I do kinda want to get laid right about now.

Truman: Well, alright then! And you're sure this bed is ok?
Ares: Eh, it's the only double. I'm sure mom won't mind.

Classy.

Ares: (Mmm, blowing off steam's pretty nice)

Freya: What are you buzzing around in my bedroom for!? OUT! Before I throw you out!
Truman: I'm going, I'm going! Sheesh!

Freya: I've missed you.. you yeti.
Jonny's ghost: I've missed... oh we've got an audience.
Truman: I don't need to see this, leaving now.

The next day...

Ares: *hurk*

Remember when I said I'd get you yet? >:]

Ares: Oh no...

Congratulations! You're now officially pregnant. MUAHAHAHAHA.

Ares: I hate you.

---------------------------

And that's as we say is that for this update. Yes, I just left it on a cliffhanger >:]

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it and see you next time!

Warnings: Language, Woohoo, etc.

Dogs are cute.

fantasyrogue — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:51:29 GMT

I apologize way in advance for the fact that sometime down the line in gen 3 (definitely not the next update, as that was played before the release of Pets) it turns into a bit of dog spam. But look at the cute doggie! I couldn't help myself ;_;

Ok I lie, I apologize for nothing. You'll just have to suffer the ridiculously cute dog! Muahahahahaha!

PS. Update coming soon, maybe today if I feel like writing it tonight.

More Pets Picspam!

fantasyrogue — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 03:36:46 GMT

So I posted a bunch of picspam last time and then kept playing and taking more and more pics and because damn, these pets are so cute, I wanted to share! I apologize in advance, I'll get back to some proper legacy posting sometime in the future XD

This post contains cats, cat breeding, horses and a unicorn (in case you want to find that stuff out for yourself, don't read).

I wanted to try out the horses next so I had Rowan, the eldest son of the family (now an adult) get a horse from the equestrian center.

One of the horses was named Balin and that pretty much sealed the deal for me :D

Course, Rowan has no riding skill and when I told him to get off the horse (as travel would be quicker that way for now).. he kinda failed at that too.

Lol.

Leading the horse home (while your butt's ringing, apparantly).

Eating some hay, drinking some water.

Playing! :D (so cute)

Next up is trying to build a bond, of course.

Nom, carrots.

Besides brushing the horse (which helps with hygiene, the horse has no hygiene bar but does get smelly if left unbrushed too long) you can also clean the hooves (sadly, no pic).

Tumble meets Balin.

Chatting about bugs and how much dogs suck.

Rowan still fails.

He does finally manage to go for a short ride :)

We interrupt this horse spam to bring you Tumble, rolling around on Castor's feet.

K, back to horse spam.

(both the horse and the rider gain skill, since they're going out at a gallop the horse gains racing skill. Rowan's simply gaining riding skill)

Cat/Horse nuzzling.

Tumble caught a bird and I decided to try the "present" interaction.

Turns out after they basically drop the critter at their human's feet, they have an option to *eat* the poor thing.

Nom.

Course it's much nicer to temporarily keep the little bird and then set them free again.

This is Paws. Someone wondered about pet breeding and to be honest, so did I.

Paws first order of business. Destroying the scratching post.

I replaced it with something better.

<3

Rowan's been working those horse riding skills. This is the "heroic pose". XD

Training.

Paws is a skittish kitty. He likes to hide in there and then lure Sims to him.

Unicorn! :D

(sorry for the dark pics, it was night).

The unicorn's gorgeous. Interactions are like a normal horse (only affection ones, no leading the wild unicorn) but there's an extra "watch unicorn" interaction.

Plus if they like your sim and you do positive interactions, they may just bless your sim.

zoom.

With high enough relationship you can ask the unicorn to join the household.

Rowan making a nice formal bow to ask.

Alas, the unicorn basically said (I am paraphrasing): "Lol no, make more animal friends, kthxbye"

As I said, Paws is a skittish kitty.

Skittish and playful.

And as the popup says, a weirdo.

(it says: "Paws Miller just freaked out at Bunker for who knows what reason! Sheesh, Paws is such a weirdo!"

Playing :D

A horse race at the equestrian center.

Time to try for kittens!

Hee.

Immediately after, Paws ran off to hide under the bed.

Freaking out at the trash can.

Blah blah, some time passed XD

Kitten time!

Only one kitten, possibly due to fairly full household.

As you can see, kitten (named Fuzz) is both adorable and a blend of both parents.

There was a new addition (or two) elsewhere too.

Sadly the only cat/toddler interaction I've found (this one's initiated from the cat).

And these last pics are for Ja:

XD

And that's me done spamming! Hope you guys enjoyed atleast a little bit. :D

Pets Picspam (as promised)

fantasyrogue — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:44:01 GMT

So I promised you guys some Pets picspam and I've got some (I've been playing since I got it, with some breaks. It's been a lot of fun :D)

I figured the best way for me was to move Castor and Bunker's entire family over to Appaloosa Plains so I could see the new stuff and not worry about missing mods being a problem. I'll pretty much be skipping over the family stuff in favor of the Pets stuff.

Here they are and their children. Yes, 6 children. This has been a bit of an issue because I blew all my money expanding the house I bought and buying them furniture... no pets yet :| I r dumb.

One of the townie neighbours (Castor is questioning him, as any good policeman does upon meeting their new neighbours for the first time)

Ice cream truck! :D

Bunker's holding up the entire street but look at how adorable :D

Hee.

One of the kids found a lizard in a school friend's house.

A stray dog showed up after a few days and immediately knocked over the trash can.

Then he tore up the newspaper.

A stray cat also showed up and since Castor loves cats, he ran over to interact with the cat.

Laser pointer!

Sadly, the cat left after that and I haven't seen them since or I'd have adopted them.

The Appaloosa Plains civic center.

Random townie on a horse.

(she's a playable, I just forget who).

The limited edition pet store. Or more accurately, pet supply store. It sells toys, jumping stuff and cages and whatnot, not dogs and cats.

Well, unless Sir Bricks-a-lot counts as a pet XD

There was a bird in the shop so I had Bunker interact with the bird.

The bird can actually sit on your sim's shoulder (they carry it around that way) and you can teach it to talk.

Grocery store and cafe, health (+science) center in the back.

More Appaloosa Plains.

Time to adopt a pet!

It took forever and then this guy showed up.

With our newest addition from the shelter :D A little kitten I named Tumble. Tumble came with the Hyper and Quiet traits.

The kitten is adorable, the way they run around (and stumble sometimes) and everything.

Then I saw this and had to try that.

Hee XD

So cute :D

New lifetime want. I was amused.

More Tumble.

A lot of Tumble, it's the only pet the family has (also a lot of Castor. Not the family pet but maybe mine).

The pet toy crate which comes stocked with all kinds of goodies.

:D

A deer decided to jump past the house.

Sadly didn't stop.

Hah, he got put in timeout (generations thing) and the kitten was going around checking everyone out. It looked funny XD

More Tumble as a kitten.

More time passed, some kids grew up, blah blah.

Tumble's birthday (it took 5 sim days, if I remember correctly).

Adult Tumble.

Now big enough to grab toys from the toy box herself.

Yes, cats can now sit on their owner's (uh, servant's) lap :D

Learning hunting skill (which is an actual skill, 10 points you can gain in it).

Then being a nuisance and waking Castor and Bunker up.

Stealing the now free spot on the bed.

Hunting. They can catch lizards, snakes, insects, etc. Which they can then gift to someone. Or you can sell it.

Being brushed.

Lazying about on top of the newspaper.

The house as it is now. I've expanded the house (which was already built, but I made it bigger and added a second story so it doesn't look much like it used to). And have now added a barn as well.

The barn. I intend to get a horse or two soon :D

And now it's time for me to head to bed. But before I go, one parting gift.

Haystack woohoo XD It comes with banjo music. Not kidding.

All in all, I'm really loving this expansion so far :D And I haven't even tried the horses or dogs yet!

Time for me to head to bed. Hope you guys enjoyed!

Yesssss

Expect some pic spam in the near future (after installing it and actually playing and such).

The Magellan Legacy - 2.2

fantasyrogue — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:16:25 GMT

Welcome back to the Magellan legacy! (relatively on time too, for a change).

A quick recap of what happened last time:

- Freya had hot angry sex with maranatah's Jonny Eaves then married him and somewhere along the line had a few children too (Hermes, Ares and Hephaestus in order of age).
- Basically, that was it, there were a lot of birthdays and child related happenings in that update.

Last we left off we left Freya screaming over the bills so let's check back in with her now.

Freya: This place is a sty. Does nobody clean around here?

I think they expect you to, since you're home during the day.. just a guess.

Freya: Screw that, I've got heists to plan. Busy, busy, busy.

Jonny: Honey, when are those big piles of money expected to arrive anyway?
Freya: Not now.. eating cake... feel like a nap and some slouching in front of the TV...

Ares: Why do you always have to get in the way of my reading, jerk :[

Hermes doesn't care about anyone's reading.

Wait.. what the hell is going on with his tongue...

D:

D:

Let's just quickly move on to his birthday and hope that fixes it D:

Jonny: Wait a minute.. what's this orange glow?

Everyone (except Hephaestus): AARGH! FIRE!!!

Firefighter: Never fear, the fire department is here! Ugh.. what is that fishy smell...? *stands in the middle of the blaze*

Poseidon (the goldfish): I was nearly boiled alive! You think it's easy being a fish, well it sucks! And someone get me something new for my fishbowl, I'm tired of looking at the same castle every day.

Somehow Poseidon survived being on fire though.

Okay, let's try that birthday thing again.

Cute, facial clone of Jonny. And hasn't gotten any saner with age.

Hermes: Did I break the laptop? Eh... that thing's trash anyway.

Seriously, I dunno what it is with sims and breaking everything they touch.

Oops, forgot a birthday >.>

Gah, the tongue again! D:

Otherwise, again cute kid but another clone (of his mother).

Ares: Yes colonel dad sir, I cleaned my room and did my homework!

Hermes: Hehehe, nobody will suspect this...

Hermes: SOMEONE SHOULD SIT ON THE SOFA, RIGHT NOW. JUST SAYING.

They have strange tea parties in the Sims. Orange juice?

Freya: Wait, what!? The laptop broke! D:

Hermes is visiting his cousins after school.

Hermes: You should know by now that fire alarms are a gnome's secret transmitting device!

Hermes: But maybe you don't because you're not a genius, like me.

Hermes & Cousin #1 (actually her name is Mellissa, I looked it up): >:[

Cousin #2 (Efren, as it turns out) seems to be enjoying this anyway.

Freya: Nobody heard that, did they?

Ooh, another birthday.

An underdressed birthday :|

Ares: You couldn't put on some pants for my birthday?

Oh but Ares is a cute kid though :D And a great blend of his parents.

Hephaestus: Here, let me clean this up for you.
Ares: Mmhmm *too busy reading*

Hephaestus: *slurp*

Ew.

Ares: Help help, I want to read my brother a story but this dresser is in the way!

Ares, there's a door in the room you're in, use that. And you're supposed to have the genius trait? :|

Ares: Alright, get ready for the most exciting story every told!
Hephaestus: :D

Ares: This story has enriched the minds of sims all over!
Hephaestus: :DDD

Really?

:|

Looks like someone had another run in with the law.

Freya: Woooo, freedoooom!

Meanwhile in the family kitchen.

Jonny: I know you put that booby trap in the sink, you better not do that again.
Hermes: Don't hurt me!

Hermes: Hee, dad's gone, time to put the trap back.
Jonny: I am still here... you idiot...
Ares: *still reading his book* I better get out of here...

Jonny: I can't believe you'd be so stupid to try that again while I was still in the room (and still wet from the last trap)!
Hermes: (Uh oh, time to face the music).

Meanwhile Ares has failed to get out of the room due to getting stuck in the barstool.

Jonny: Again! I only went to put some clothes on and there's another trap in the sink! Why do you keep doing this!?
Hermes: Eeeeeh
Jonny: You're lucky I'm not forbidding you from attending the prom!

And so the boys head off to the prom in their finest clothes.

And have what must be the best night of their lives!

I hope you're not trying to potty train that doll...

Jonny needed a bit of time out on the town after that mess with Hermes.

Jonny: How can you say you don't like sandwiches!
Guy: What?

Marc the vampire: (what the hell is his problem?)
Jonny: And you! I see those fangs. You best keep away from the children!

Marc: You're joking right, I hate kids!
Jonny: You WHAT!?

Uh oh, trait incompatability.

Marc: You heard me!

:|

Obviously one shouldn't antagonize a vampire. Even your best military training won't win against that.

Hephaestus meanwhile is over at a friend's house doing his homework like a good kid.

Uh oh, someone's older brother showed up.

Teen: Hey, what are you doing here you little pipsqueek.

Like father, like son?

Hephaestus: Don't mess with me again!

O.O

Jonny: What is this I heard? You got into a fight? I thought we taught you better than that!

Uh....

Poor Hephaestus gets stuck in the corner.

Someone's excited!

Oh.

I missed another birthday.

Jonny: I'm all wrinkly :[

And another birthday.

Aw, he turned out pretty nice too. :D

Freya: Hiyaaa!

Someone picked up a book on martial arts from the consignment store...

Also, you may have noticed that the kitchen finally has walls and floors!

Ugh. Still no manners. And he needs a bath.

Just because you're old doesn't mean you don't have to keep fit.

Certainly not in this family.

Hermes: No Mr Fist, don't hit me! Aaah.
Hephaestus: You're moving the pawn there!? Why?
Ares: .....

Ares: Shut up! Both of you! I can't get 5 minutes of reading or chess time in without being disturbing by you lunatics!

Ares: Now, stay away from me while I read this book. IN QUIET.

Ares: .... D:
Hermes: *whistles innocently*

Hermes: Look dad, I said I was sorry. I didn't know the booby trap would break the thing.
Jonny: *grumbles*

Oh, did I mention someone has an imaginary friend? No?

Heph's Imaginary Friend: Look over here, a loser! Reading a book of all things!

Did I also mention that his imaginary friend's a jerk?

Well, he is.

Ares: Again with the lack of pants! :|

Yep, a real jerk.

Freya, that's your mother. Be nice.

Lol. I don't think this ever gets old.

Imaginary Friend: Oh and also, your house sucks. It's terrible! It's not even fully decorated!

Hephaestus: You know, you're right. I think it's because my parents are too busy to redecorate, if you know what I mean ;)

This family just oozes class.

Freya's had some promotions, atleast her attire is better now (even if the face mask takes the contacts away).

Damnit Ares, not you too! Are all the teenagers in this house having a mood swing rotation or something?

Imaginary Friend: Hey Hermes, you suck! BOOO!

This happens like every other day now.

Jonny: Your brother told me what you did! You're grounded, young man!

Ares: Like I care.

You know you do. It's just a mood swing.

And then... TRAGEDY struck the household!

The TV broke.

I quite agree, Ares.

Freya: Where's the hot angry sex been!?
Jonny: What do you want from me! I'm an old man. You want me to dislocate a hip!?

Jonny: Maybe be food for the flies soon!?
Freya: GAH, you're insufferable!

This is actually foreplay. Just so you know.

Somebody messed with the computer.

Any one of the teenagers could have done it really.

Although we have another culprit...

Yeah.. like I said. What a jerk.

Imaginary Friend: BOO!
Hephaestus: GAAAAAH
Hermes: Brother, are you alright?

Hephaestus: Man that scared me half to death.
Hermes: I think you've lost your mind, wow, crazy....

Pot. Kettle.

Hermes: Have the gnomes invaded your brain? Eh? If they have, tell me and I'll kill them!

Hermes: After I eat this fly, nom nom nom.
Hephaestus: See what I have to put up every day?

I'm sorry Heph, I'm sorry.

Birthday!

Aw, he's all grown up and such.

Traits:
- Insane
- Loner
- Natural Cook
- Perceptive
- Heavy Sleeper

Followed immediately by another birthday.

Aw. I think she makes an adorable elder, if I do say so myself.

Ha. Seems no matter what, parents want their children to follow in their footsteps.

I thought I'd invite her sisters over for a little reunion.

Embla: My how the house has turned out lovely!

Embla, Sif and Freya: *gossiping*
Hephaestus: (I almost think I'd rather be hanging with my imaginary "friend" than all these old ladies)

Imaginary Friend: Ha! You're such a loser you're never going to complete your homework!
Hephaestus: (I take that back)

Hephaestus: That's enough. I never want to see you again! Go away!
Imaginary Friend: FINE!

And that was the end of that (except for the part where he bugged out and kept reapparing briefly on the sidewalk every time I loaded my game fresh).

Ok last birthday of the update.

Ares: HERMES! PANTS, NOW!

*snorts*

Good to see the sims still age up in the most appealing getups.

*pinches cheeks*

Traits:
- Unflirty
- Technophobe
- Good
- Genius
- Athletic

And that means it's been decided. Well, it was decided when all the kids were just born and he was the only non-clone, but still.

Congratulations Ares, you'll be following in your mother's footsteps as heir to this family!

Ares: (Following mom's footsteps....?)

....

Ares: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

----------------------------

See you next time, people! :D

Warnings: Language, innuendo, etc etc, blah blah.

AARGH, CLONES!

fantasyrogue — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:34:12 GMT

Alright, I'm seriously going to have to hurt someone over this clone problem. I could deal with the occasional child being a clone of a parent but this just pisses me off.

Basically, my gen 3 heir just had kids, two of them. Both children have one parent's hair colour, both of them got a grandparent's eye colour, that's all fine. But child 1 is facially exactly identical to parent A and child 2 is exactly identical to parent B. WTF. What am I supposed to do about this? This is not making this whole legacy business a lot of fun as this is the third generation where this is happening. I'm sorely tempted to just roll both parents against eachother in CAS to get better blends and just replace the damn kids with new ones.

I've tried googling for answers, looking up on forums. I've got most of NRAAS mods in, including the one with the extra genetics stuff. But I don't know what to do about this.

Is there any known way of preventing this?

The Woohooer.. Or how Castor continues to steal my sanity.

fantasyrogue — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 15:56:00 GMT

You know, I made a post before about how much I missed ACR and lamented the loss of having such a mod for my Sims game. I think it was Engram who mentioned woohooer and at the time I did already have said mod in my game but I wasn't noticing much of an effect. After all, my sims in question were much more interesting in their various richly entertaining gadgets than, how to put it..., doing eachother.

Some months later, a computer upgrade under my belt, having to reinstall my game and upgrading my mods. I've taken to playing a little sidegame with TS3 Castor and van's TS3 Bunker, they always liked eachother in various TS2 incarnations (three bolters, actually), so it was a natural fit. And lo and behold, the woohooer's kicked in.. with a vengeance. I can't leave them alone for a day without one of the two jumping the other and because Castor has commitment issues he just loves him some risky woohoo. They're also both family oriented. You can see where this is going....

So, now that I'm up to my eyeballs in toddlers (and I haven't clicked "try for baby" even once) I think I can say that the woohooer is functioning pretty nicely XD

I still miss the good ole matchmaker though, or I *really* need to add one or more prospective spouses to my game for my legacy heir. Poor gen 3 Magellan heir has rejected everyone I try and hook him up with. Of course, he's unflirty and therein lies the actual problem. How I'm going to solve this one, I dunno.

The Magellan Legacy - 2.1

fantasyrogue — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 23:14:58 GMT

I'm incredibly sorry for the delay D: I've had these pictures ready to go for ages and I really have no excuse other than my flimsy attention span and the distractions of videogames (mmm, Deus Ex: Human Revolution). Well, also a computer upgrade, but that would still be a bad excuse, it only took my computer out of commission for a day or two at most.

So, where were we? Oh right.

Last time on the Magellan Legacy:

- Freya became heir.
- She started a romance/rivalry with maranatah's Jonny Eaves
- Astraeus died :(
- Freya and Jonny got engaged
- And we ended with Hazel's death :(

So without further delay, we get back to where we left off. Hazel's death.

Grim: Really, through a window. How degrading. Thou could atleast let me in.
Hazel: *ignores him*

Meanwhile the attentive and loving daughter is out on a date...

Yes, I'm sure your mother dying in the middle of the date did make it a wonderful evening :|

Classy, Sif, just classy.

Sif: Don't you think it's time you get your own, adult, bedroom? Without a bunkbed? And without being across the hall from me where I can hear everything? >:[

(I did end up moving her to a new build that is unfinished during the next update(s). So I'd like to apologize in advance for future bare walls, lack of ceilings and occasional dark lighting due to no lights. I'm nothing if not kind for letting my sims live in such luxury....)

I didn't know fitness was a concern after death.

Freya: (ugh, dealing with mom's death is making me sick. I feel so miserable ;_; )

Uh, I'm not sure that is related...

Freya: Waaaaaah, she's gooooone ;_; She won't be able to come to my bachelor party either *sniff*

I'm sure that was her biggest concern, yes.

Pizza delivery guy: Awkward deliveries! At your service! If the pizza is not all shoved to the side of the box and delivered an hour late, we're not doing our job right!
Freya: (... mom always liked pizza *sniffle*)

This is just pathetic.

Someone (probably Sif.. or maybe it was Freya herself) did get a dancer though.

Sif: *whispering* And then they did it at the public gym.. again.

Freya: Waaaaah... everything's wrong, now my computer's broken down toooooo *weeps*
Dancer: Uh, I'm sorry? (Wow this is the worst bachelorette party I've been to, ever)

This really was the worst party :|

Suddenly!

Someone popped!

Hazel: Hey honey, thought I'd drop by and remind you of how dead I am.
Freya: ;_;

I'm not sure why Freya is trying to cheer up Sif, it's not like she's been exceptionally cheery herself.

Wedding time!

Which was a nice chance for me to playtest my wedding chapel lot (or so I thought). But nobody showed up :| I think Freya's caustic personality hasn't helped her make many friends.

Freya: If you don't put this ring on my finger right now, I'll hurt you. :D

Atleast they look happy.

Jonny: Uh, where are all the guests?
Freya: Shut up and help me cut this cake.

Just what I needed!

Sif: Sweet, my burglar senses are tingling!

Sif: Oh, they just took the toilet again. Nevermind then. I'm moving out anyway.

>:[

She just dropped it out of her queue and the burglar made off with the toilet (AGAIN!). I was looking forward to a fight. And yes, I did move her out (I thought I'd taken a picture of that but apparantly not. I apologize for it being so sudden. I wanted less sims around for the future kids).

Jonny: I bet they'll take after me.
Freya: Ha, you wish!

Aww. How cute?

This is ridiculous. Is Hazel trying to taunt her daughter from the afterlife or something?

Writing thank you cards <3

Speaking of writing thank you cards...

(another batch of gifts)

Grim Reaper!? Really now?

I wonder what kinda card that is? "Thank you for taking my wife's mother just before the wedding. I'm sure the gift you sent would have been much appreciated if my wife had stopped crying long enough to look at it"?

Jonny's pretty studious.. (and smart for doing so out of the house).

!

Just like that. :P

It's a boy and his name is Hermes. Going from Norse straight to Greek here.

Managed to scrounge enough money together for a nursery.

If only this was the case for the kitchen as well.... :|

With Freya's old interests in fish still active it seemed right to get a pet goldfish (she caught the fish, its name is Poseidon).

And yes, Jonny is a good dad.

Time for another baby? I do believe it is.

Having someone in the house again that's good at repairing stuff is very useful. Finally the computer gets fixed. I can't say anyone minds that he does it in his underwear either.

Freya: My back is killing me so much I want to kill someone! *rages*

I really need to start having sims get together earlier, it's already Jonny's birthday to adult.

Freya: Ugh, all this nausea is really interfering with my plans for that great diamond heist :|

You know, those "pop" pictures are less fun when the popping effect is so much more subtle (even though I like the subtley getting bigger thing).

Also, Freya's been working out for her criminal career job (hence the weight loss).

Ew.

I really am not trying to never show them actually interacting or anything. It's the baby/pregnancy thing.

Jonny: I don't know, it makes for a nice bit of peace and quiet for a change.

Did I mention Jonny's neurotic? No I didn't because I forgot to mention his traits anywhere...

They're (taken off maranatah's LJ cause I'm lazy): Nurturing, Kleptomanic, Bookworm, Neurotic, Hot-Headed (this would be why he and Freya kept flying off the handle at eachother).

Birthday! \o/

Jonny: You're not going to watch our son's birthday?
Freya: Not now, must eat more. Let me know when I can have some of that cake.

Hermes is cute.. but he is a facial clone of his father :|

But he's got Astraeus' hair colour! :D

Freya: Aaiiieeee.
Jonny: Ugh, just when I wanted to go to bed too. You have terrible timing, dear.
Freya: Too... much.. pain.. to.. hurt.. you.
Hermes: *distracted by finger he just stuck up his nose*

Freya: My archnemesis! If I wasn't holding a baby I'd let you have it, right now!

Ah yes, the baby. It's another boy! Ares this time. :)

Hermes is still cute

And Freya hits middle age, while pregnant (again, yes).

(man the house looks awful in these pictures)

:D

Jonny: Need.... fooooood!

Maybe if you hadn't burned the pancakes? -_-

Ok so the strangest thing, I've obviously changed her hair here. This keeps up in a couple of pictures and then I apparantly changed it back and then made her over.

Yeah, I don't know either. Just run with it and pretend I'm not an idiot who has forgotten what happened. K?

I also totally didn't forget to document another birthday or anything >.>

This is Ares as the most adorable toddler ever (and he's not at all like his namesake).

Also, Freya's ears which are Astraeus' ears, Hazel's hair colour and Jonny's skintone! And his facial features are a blend too (though I think mostly Jonny's) \:D/

(we'll just pretend the randomly mutated eye colour is normal)

Jonny, please don't pee all over your son. :|

Don't give me that look, Freya. He's your child you better be nice to him.

Already!

Freya: ARGH, the screaming is distracting me from my screaming! Make it stop!
Jonny: I don't know who to react to anymore!

A+ parenting.

Freya: Don't tell me, he's behind me isn't he? If only I wasn't in so much pain right now...

I do wonder why he keeps showing up at the hospital right at the time she's having a baby.

And baby 3 is another boy. I asked for naming suggestions at the time and as a result his name's Hephaestus. You can blame my friends for that.

More cute :D

Apparantly the shower causes pain and sorrow now.

Freya: So I want to have my look updated a bit but I'm not sure...
Stylist: Oh don't worry, I've got the perfect look in mind.

So yeah, earlier mentioned makeover.

I still don't know what I was on.

*snorts*

Very modern and with the times, Freya. This is why we don't let the stylist do the makeovers.

Better.

Didn't forget about the firstborn. Jonny's usually the one stuck teaching the children (because Freya is asleep for half the day as she works nights).

The curse of mid-generation updates, birthdays and births everywhere ;)

Hermes immediately starts off with pranking the house. Little bugger.

And playing with yet another imaginary friend doll.

:)

Remember this as the first but definitely not the last time this happens.

Jonny: *splutters* When I get my hands on that kid...

Don't bother, Jonny. That kid is currently argueing with a trash can.

No. It is not Poseidon's birthday :|

It's Hephaestus'!

Who is a cute clone of his mother :|

What is with these clone children. This is just like last generation, father clone, blend, mother clone. What the hell?

So after all these children and birthdays and changing of diapers and whatnot, a date on the town seemed right.

Freya: Some date! I have to buy my own damn drink while he plays foosball!

Truman (brilliantcat): You seriously made someone beg for their job?
Freya: Of course! Nothing like watching someone grovel. It's hilarious!

And then for some reason Truman told her a ghost story.

Freya: He's still playing foosball. And these people are boring. When do I get to hurt someone?

You're not. No fighting.

Freya: You suck.

Meanwhile back at home the television is doing the parenting. As any good television would.

:D

Freya: I'm off for work. You'll clean up the mess, right?
Jonny: Which one, the one the kids left or the one after you get arrested again?
Freya: Touché. But that's why you love me.
Jonny: Wouldn't have you any other way.

Cleaning is what the older children are for anyway.

Another birthday!

I just can't come up with good captions for birthday shots.

I fully admit he's still my favorite. I feel bad for being biased this early.

Hermes: You should all bow to me, Lord Hermes, ruler of chairs!
Jonny: Of course *bows*
Hermes: Now extend my bedtime!
Jonny: I don't think so, mister.

Someone got arrested.

Ares: Noooo, it's the terrible shower of doom! DOOOOOM!

What is with this shower!?

Hermes: I've gotta pee but I don't want to go in the bathroom with that shower! *dances*

Time to wrap things up with a trip to the park (I love these things Generations added).

Freya: Can you say "arrr" for mommy?
Hephaestus: Arrblr?
Freya: Close enough.

Jonny: (Hm, chess would be better than this thing)
Ares: (I wish I had food rather than being on this thing. They have food over there).

Ares: Excuse me, I don't know you even though you're my cousin but I'm just going to steal this burger.
Hermes: Oh sandcastle, how I love building you <3

Cousin #1: They like my hamburgers *swoons*
Cousin #2: Pft, sure they do :|

And yes, these are children of Embla. Whose names I can't remember. And the eldest is obviously a clone of Embla.. the clone gnome strikes again!

Hermes: And after I'm done building you, oh lovely castle of mine, I'll EAT YOU! With your delicious sand and worms!

Cousin #1: More people to eat my food, yay!

Cousin #1: All this family! So nice to meet you all!
Cousin #2: Hah, yeah, good thing you brought enough food to feed the whole family tree.

Cousin #1: You know not to bring that up! Poor uncle Tub can never make it!

Did I mention Cousin #1 has the insane trait? Yeah.

Hermes: Why is there no dim sum!? The trash gnomes tell me I must eat dim sum daily!

So does Hermes...

Cousin #1: Now now, you know the trash gnomes don't exist, silly!

Cousin #1: But the tiny little germs. They watch all! They're everywhere!

Ares has escaped into the bathroom to do his homework :|

And just like that we're back home...

Freya: BIIILLLLSSSS!

And on that note I end this update. Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys next time with more birthdays, more pranks and more chaos. I may even throw in a fire!

Warnings: Language, angry sims.

Piece of Pie - 5 TS3 Sims

fantasyrogue — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:15:58 GMT

Because I've been playing my legacy so much and using other people's lovely colourful sims for it I felt kind of bad for not having given back the same type of sims for others to use for alien or rainbow or whatnot challenges. Then I started thinking how much I would like a piece of pie or some cake or something....

One thing led to another and here are five delicious pie/cake inspired sims for you!

These sims use no sliders except for Cmar's elf ear slider.
They also all use skincolour sliders.
Cherry is using a freckle blush found here and lipstick found here.
Also, I apologize for the fact that Peach is using a custom eyeliner and I have no idea who made it or where it actually is in my downloads folder (I've gone through this thing twice, removing folders left and right, I just can't find the thing). Hopefully this isn't too big a problem.

And with that out of the way, let's move on!

------------------------------

Strawberry Cheesecake

CAS Screenie

Sweet and romantic. Strawberry wants to meet the sim of her dreams and then bake them everything their heart desires. After all, the way to anyone's heart is through their stomach.

Traits:
- Excitable
- Natural Cook
- Hopeless Romantic
- Childish
- Friendly

Download .sim

-------------------------------------

Lemon Meringue

CAS Screenie

Lemon can fix anything, computers, plumbing, loneliness. Don't expect him to do it willingly and happily though and definitely expect a lot of snark before, during and after.

Traits:
- Flirty
- Good Sense of Humor
- Dramatic
- Handy
- Grumpy

Download .Sim

-----------------------------------

Blueberry Pie

CAS screenie

Blueberry came in last when they were handing out the "Genius of the Year" awards. Not because he's not smart, far from it. He's brilliant, even. Unfortunately, if there ever were such an award, he'd be the one that came in last because his car broke down, the bridge was open and there was an accident. Then he'd probably trip on his way to the podium, tear down some poor woman's dress and finally land, face first, in the chocolate fountain.

Traits:
- Unlucky
- Genius
- Loser
- Inappropriate
- Eccentric

The Magellan Legacy - 2.0

fantasyrogue — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:13:45 GMT

So last time we had a lot of teenage terror in the form of Freya Magellan (her sisters less so) until finally Freya was declared heir by unanimous vote (unanimous because I'm the only one voting). Which means we've moved on to generation two!

I realized I've never shown what the house actually looks like. At this point, the family's been living in the barn shaped building on the left. I've been using any new money to start building a much larger house on the right, but it's far from done. Although the family will relocate during this generation, I hope you'll excuse the pictures without wallpaper or ceilings as a result (this family is not quite swimming in money).

Onward!

Graduation day!

Hazel: (I hope one day she'll be a famous doctor and get to take us on holidays to romantic Paris and such *sigh*)
Freya: (Sweet, obligations are done! Time to make a name for myself.... in crime!)

First order of the day. Breaking someone's heart.

Freya: Look, we only went out once during the prom! That isn't an exclusive lifelong commitment! I didn't sign any contracts!
Purple Guy: RAAAAAGEEEEEE

No kidding!

Next up. A life of crime requires one to be in peak physical shape. Which, as we can see, Freya obviously is *cough*

And I do believe the guy on the other treadmill is jens_sims Shane Decker. Hi there!

And there's alan_gast's Mavis La Schue having an obviously deep and interesting discussion about the merits of electrical outlets with vayleen's Orion Ray.

Orion: Are you kidding me! She's been blathering about this for hours. I don't even like anything that uses an outlet. And there's no place to eat around here but she won't let me go! Help!

Right. Sorry bro, you're on your own.

Freya: (He's right though, this place has no food and more importantly no drinks. I need to go someplace *fun*).

And so Freya finds herself at the local sports bar.

Freya: Where's the actual sports watching? They've been sitting there talking about some guy's bum knee for the last hour...

Meanwhile back at home.....

Astraeus: My old man bladder! ;_;

Sif: Hmm so rigging the laptop to the workstation and trying to automate the chemical additions didn't actually make the solution less prone to igniting. Good to know.

Someone got cleaned up right quick for the prom though.

Checking back in with Freya...

We find she's moved on to the local watering hole and has started accosting maranatah's Jonny Eaves.

Freya: I don't care if you *are* hungry OR thirsty. You have no right to even THINK about the refreshing qualities of a glass of water. Don't you know I'm hydrophobic!
Jonny: Excuse me!?

Jonny: You just stomped up to me like some crazy purple blur and started shout at ME telling me what I can and cannot do!?
Freya: You have a problem with the colour purple, mister!?
Jonny: Yes, that's totally what this is about! PURPLE.

Jonny: Maybe you should read some books, better yourself.
Freya: YAWN.

Jonny: Like perhaps some books on HOW NOT TO BE OR HAVE A PLANET SIZED ASS!

Freya: Ooooh, this has to be the most unpleasant person I've ever met >:[
Jonny: The feeling's mutual (also, I'm still hungry :[ )

Freya (to bartender): Look at that loser, all by himself with his plate of food. How sad and pathetic.
Jonny: I can hear you, you know

And you brought a date here, Freya? No? Didn't think so.

And then Freya went to vent her frustrations on the foosball table with sixamsims Matilda Felina.

So that's what was behind the randomly accosting the guy behaviour?

I tried taking her to the night club after that. But both me and her spent a lot of time staring at the Freezer Bunny game.

Possibly because the place was otherwise completely devoid of people.

Back home, Embla's stopped by for a visit.

Embla: What the hell is all this stuff! Diagrams on how to extract information from people!? Truth serum formulas!?

She did come for a reason though.

Astraeus: Well done honey, you can procreate!

Grandpa and grandma line up to see if they can hear anything from their future first grandchild already.

Bit soon for that, methinks.

Back at the sports bar (the next day). Freya's run into Jonny again.

Jonny: You again! Are you following me!?
Freya: What makes you think I'd follow YOUR ugly ass anywhere!?

Jonny: You did not just say that! *slap*
Freya: You did not just DO that!!

Both of them: AARRRGGGH RAAAAGEEEE FIGHT!

Freya: Oh yeah, who's da woman who just beat military boy's ass. That's right! Drinks on me!

Astraeus' old friend (the guy who threw that party way back when?) died.

Astraeus: *cries*.
Grim: Oh do not be concerned, thou art next!

And by next he meant, right the same day ;_;

Astraeus :((( I'll miss you! Your wife and daughters will miss you!

Wait... I'm missing a daughter. Where's Freya?

o.O

Grim: Astraeus Magellan. I have come for thee. Thou hast better stop smirking.

Astraeus: I don't want to go yet! Why can't I staaaaay. I was just about to have a relaxing nap and everything. *pleads*
Grim: No, thy time has come. Now, stop complaining and come along.

Freya: Waaaah. My father died while I was having amazingly hot angry sex in a public showeeeeeeer.
Jonny: Ugh, awkward and I'm way too tired to deal with this.

Jonny: Now now, there.. uh.. there. *pats awkwardly*
Freya: *sniff* I still hate you *sniff*
Jonny: There's my girl. I hate you too.

But now, time to strut!

And work off some extra energy.

Other, possibly better, people are actually grieving over Astraeus death.

What, they don't have computers in the afterlife?

Jonny: Oh, and for the record, you're still a hairy yeti!
Freya: Well, you're still an ugly troll!
Jonny: That was just as hot as the last time though.
Freya: I know, damn.

Just in case someone forgot Freya is a kleptomaniac (and a criminal). Here's a picture of her stealing a bench.

Shane: And so I totally bought a new phone and it has all these awesome features like a camera and an mp3 player and it can go online and...
Freya: *yawn* Can you actually call people with it?
Shane: Well, no, the reception's crap.

Jonny: We should sleep with eachother again sometime
Freya: Right after I kick your ass at this game, jerk.
Jonny: Oh, you're on, yeti.

Everything's going swimmingly back home.

Fireman: You guys should be MORE CAREFUL!!! FIRE SAFETY IS A BIG DEAAAAAL!!! AAAAAAARRRGGGH.

Dude, she's trying to sleep! And there's a lot of rage this update. Wow.

Time to upgrade that stove then, with the magical hammer of handiness, of course.

I don't know how else to explain the usage of that hammer.

Jonny: Hey, maybe you should start lifting some weights, flabby arms.
Freya: You're lucky I'm on the other side of the room, stubby legs.

And then some random person went into labor in the middle of the gym.

Townie1: Oh my god, that'll be me soon!?
Townie2: Oh my god... I'm so hungry!
Freya: Oh my god! And I was just about to leave for work too!

Dressed like that!?

Guess who's aging up!

What an improvement :P

Hazel: Hm, I worry for my children sometimes..

Someone's going on a fancy date?

Freya: Nah, fancy wasn't working out. This is much better.

Oh.

Freya: Your move, troll.
Jonny: Ha, try and beat me.

Whee!

Forgot to show a post-makeover pic. With stats.

Sif Magellan:
- Brave
- Genius
- Good
- Loves the Outdoors
- No Sense of Humor

Orion is getting the short end of the stick again. This time it's not electrical outlets but Hazel's family.

Hazel: And this is my youngest, Sif. She and her older sister Freya still haven't found a man yet.
Orion: Uh-huh (why me!?)

Hazel: (Wait, I just shared the entire family history with a complete stranger! D:)

Freya: So, I was wondering... How about a night on the town?

Freya: *hic* Let me buy you this totally innocent drink... sweetheart *hic*
Jonny: Uhm, I think you've had quite enough and I'm going home again.

Astraeus, leave the household appliances alone!

*sigh*

Freya's sticking around for just a little while longer (not that long though, she *is* moving out eventually). Giving her a chance to show off her brilliance :P

And it gives me a chance to force her into a career. One I know she'll like, namely, private investigator. It suits her.

Freya: Watch where you're going, jerk! Where did you learn to drive! A roller disco? I've places to go, people to see!

People being Jonny.

Places being... just outside the warehouse based nightclub, next to the trash bins...

How romantic.

Following with a romantic dinner for one.

And some mutual gossiping and making fun of others.

Yes, that was an actual date.

And here's another one.

Jonny: So, you want to be a master thief, do you?
Freya: Yeah, got a problem with that?
Jonny: Public property is public property and we're the public, right?

Jonny: But I do have to randomly scream about having to go to the movies. AAAAARRRGGGH!
Freya: Really, you have to do that?
Jonny: Well you did want to see that romantic movie! AAARRRGGGH!

After the movie, someone finally got someone else buttered up enough to go steady!

Random Toddler: *screaming and crying for food*
Freya: (I hope I don't ever get one of those)
Jonny: (Maybe one day I'll have one of those... but with less crying).

Jonny: I can't believe someone brought a toddler to this movie.
Freya: I know right, terrible choice. Stupid kids.. and parents.
Jonny: Haha, yeah.

Freya: So mom, I thought I'd tell you. I've got a boyfriend now!
Hazel: Well, I'm not getting any younger. Are you getting married soon? Preferably before I die of old age?

Freya: Jonny! Quick, I have a question!
Jonny: *oof* What?

Freya: Marry me!
Jonny: Uh... we've only been going steady for a day but... what the hell... ok!

Hazel: Great, that means I can die now!

:|

My sims always have the best timing.

Next time:

Wedding blues..

Warnings: Language, innuendo, less subtle things than innuendo. You guys know the drill.

TS3 Rambling

fantasyrogue — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 23:23:11 GMT

You know, I enjoy TS3 a lot, as should be evident by the fact that I play it (and recently started a legacy and all). But if there's one thing I miss from time to time, it's the TS2 matchmaker and TS2 ACR. Between those two, I could be sure that I wasn't influencing my sims partnerships so much but now that I have neither I find I'm picking apart every sim I see for potential spouse material. And since none of them seem to make my sim all hot and bothered (the fact that they're "unflirty" isn't helping), the decision falls down to me, not my sim. Which is where my nitpicky nature becomes a bit of a problem.

(I say this because I may or may not be looking for a spouse for the gen 3 heir. Yes, I am aware I've not even posted gen 2 yet).

The Magellan Legacy - 1.2

fantasyrogue — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:20:49 GMT

And we're back to another update!

Last time:
- As is common for a mid-generation update, a lot of birthdays
- And births, of course, someone has to have all those birthdays!
- And some other random things (parties, stupidity, sims as usual).

We ended on Freya's birthday to teen last time...

And move straight on to the prom, which happened the day after or so. Allowing Freya to tag along.

Ofcourse Embla is going, she's been looking forward to it after all. Although she's going alone (Ahmed aged up to adult just before the prom, the bastard).

And she had a good time, being crowned Prom Queen and everything.

Freya: Stupid Embla and that stupid prom. Everything's stupid >:[

And thus begins the first teenage mood swing (and sadly, not the only one).

Skipping school in favor of going fishing.

Pranking the school after school hours.

Freya: And you, blueberry, what are you looking at! Hm!? You looking for trouble?
Guy: What'd I do!?

Nothing, I'm afraid. Which is enough.

Freya: That's just pathetic
Guy: You *scared* me! :[

Freya: I'll give you a scare! Take that!
*thwack*
*oof*
*bang*
*ker-pow*
*insert 60s batman sound effects*

Freya: Owww... this isn't how it's supposed to go... Time for a rematch.

Freya: Hah! Much better!

Skipping school, pranks and getting into fights aside. It's time to do some homework!

Guy: (ugh, I'm tired and I just want to go hoooome)

Oh dear, did I forget another birthday? >.>

Aww, old Astraeus :(

He may be old, but he's not letting any delinquency slide!

I gotta say, I kinda love that this can happen now XD

Sif: *screeches about being smelly*
Astraeus: Oh, that's right, we had another kid...

Astraeus: Look, I don't want to be a bad guy here. So I'm letting you off the hook, alright. Don't disappoint your old man.
Freya: I won't (for now)

You could do an entire update with just birthdays.

Doesn't she look just like her mother?

(no seriously, she does, facial clone time again...)

Astraeus: And that's when the pharaoh said to his mummy....

Aw :3

Embla's telling her captive audience (her imaginary friend, who is still with us) a ghost story.

Astraeus: Awww little Siffie-poo, didn't you turn into an adorable little child *pinches cheeks*
Sif: Daaaaaad....

Surprisingly, Embla and Freya are best of friends.

Sif, on the other hand, is the family mad scientist loner.

Note the purple guy Freya is talking to.. he's technically Freya's romantic interest (from the prom) but I pretty much forgot about him.

Also, the girls bedroom gets entirely too crowded.

That was just bound to happen with all those chemicals.

Aw, another growing old..

I think she looks like quite a respectable old lady though.

And another moodswing and school skipping fishing trip for Freya!

I.. can't remember why I took this picture.

But I bet Astraeus going to the school was all an excuse to play some hopscotch anyway.

Freya: You, my nemesis. I don't care how tired I am you're going down!
Guy: Why won't you leave me alone already!

Freya: Yes, turn away from me. Coward >:[

Freya: Hee, if I'm lucky he'll sit down on this bench.

(he never did)

Freya: *whistles innocently*

*swipe*

Look at how smug she looks about it too.

Astraeus: What did I tell you about disappointing me!?
Freya: ... Oops?

Freya: (Ouch, the hammer of the law hurts)

Especially considering that's one of the few pieces of entertainment in this house.

Ew. Cleaning's really being neglected around these parts D:

Embla has gone to a school friend's house after school. I guess to do cooking homework?

And take advantage of the family foosball table.

Hazel: Maybe if you helped clean around the house a little, we'd be a bit more lenient (and the shower wouldn't end up looking like that anymore).

And so she's let off the hook again.

And Sif blows herself up again.

Well, that'll be an interesting day in school.

Sif: I saw that face, old man! Are you implying I smell bad!?

And then it was time for Sif's ballet recital.

I'm sure it was wonderful indeed. Especially since Sif still hasn't showered (note the barely visible fumes).

I sent Hazel and Astraeus out for a nice dinner for two :)

Which was very, uh.. romantic.

The first of the brood hits adult!

And immediately rejects her poor imaginary friend (also, lol, ageing up clothes/hair).

Anyway, time for some traits, in case any of you were wondering:

Embla Magellan
- Athletic
- Brave
- Friendly
- Loner
- Never Nude

And another birthday on the same day!

Also, that guy in the picture with his back to the camera would be adult Ahmed, the babysitter from last time.

Teenage Sif.

Embla: You know, I'm quite a winner, if you know what I mean.

Ahmed: Ah sir, I remember your daughter, she's quite a hellion isn't she?
Astraeus: Oh yes.

Well, not awkward at all or anything.

Embla: You're focusing on the wrong Magellan. Now, how about boyfriend/girlfriend?

And what's with her parents listening in to every conversation?

Quick smelly, hungry, at home (due to missing the taxi) graduation interlude.

Embla: (mmm, chicken legs).

Really?

Also, between her and her imaginary friend (who as you can see, did not disappear even when she was mean!) thinking of food. I worry for Ahmed D:

Embla: Quick, marry me now, even though we've only really had the one date in my parents living room!

Lol, but some date it was, right?

And with that, Embla gets moved out of the house. Sorry Embla, but being a complete clone of her father, facially, I just wasn't interested in her as heir. No matter how cute.

Uh-oh

Freya: Gosh, you are so unreasonable! You know I'm hydrophobic. Why do you ask me to do the dishes anyway!?
Hazel: Alright, I guess one of us can do the dishes. Calm down!
Astraeus: (Aw, it is a bit unfair of us to ask her to do that)

Astraeus: Freyaaaaaaa!

Astraeus: I've had it up to here with you, young lady!
Freya: Do I look like I care!?
Hazel: (daydreams about macaroni and cheese)

Someone was out after curfeeeeew.

Hazel: Have you any idea what time it is! I don't care if it is your birthday tomorrow, you're grounded! Again!

It really is her birthday. And it's a special one!

Freya: (I wish for.. all the diamonds and gold in the world!)

Because I'm declaring Freya heir! I don't care if Sif isn't an adult yet, she's a clone of her mother (what is with all these clones? It's really been an issue in my game lately). Besides, Freya has the most interesting traits.

Which are:

Freya Magellan
- Couch Potato
- Easily Impressed
- Hot-Headed
- Hydrophobic
- Kleptomaniac

This'll be fun >:D

Next time: The start of generation 2! Whee!
