The Saxon Legacy - 1.3

vayleen — Sun, 22 Mar 2020 21:41:41 GMT

Last time: Brock aged up into an artistic, playful child. Paul continued to be a happy terror, along with his sister, Kelley, when she also aged into a toddler. (Kids, I swear.) Hunter and Mandie aged into adults, making me feel kinda guilty I haven't let them have their wedding yet. (一。一;;）Mandie gave birth to her last kiddo, William. At the end of the chapter, Paul became a child, along with his imaginary friend, J. Poor Hunter was getting all emo about his kids growing up, bless his heart.

Brock: Now this is a great venue.
Paul: Not so loud, I'm doing my homework.
Brock: Seriously? At a wedding?
Paul: It's not going to do itself, bro.

gather around, ladies and germs, in all your odd choices for formal wear

Ezra: You guys look sweet.
Hunter: Did we hire a photographer?
Mandie: I figured the paparazzi would do it for free.

omg it's me. i wondered when i'd make an appearance in this legacy.
Vayleen: ugh.

Hunter: So... do we just do it?
Mandie: You seem so excited love.
wedding spam below!!!

♥♥♥

It's a lovely venue to get hitched at, I'll give them that.

This wedding is so divine, people are walking on water.

Paul: Good job, Mom and Dad!

Mandie: Oh, this cake is beautiful!

Hunter: And we're going to eat the crap out of it!
Mandie: *sigh*

cake time is the best time

oh hey look it's me. i was wondering when i'd show up in this game.

aw. ♥

it's william's birthday!

look at this kid. he's already ready to be trouble.

William: *GROWLS*
Paul: I wouldn't do that, little dude.

William: I do what I want!

it's also brock's birthday!

Hunter: You're blocking the door to the only bathroom, son.
Brock: I'm gonna have hormones!

Brock: Eh?
you're adorable, kiddo.

this boy already has the teenage feels. he rolled Perceptive for his fourth trait.

happy wedding, my loves. ♥

William: *scarfscarfscarf*

Don't be a bad influence on your brother, Kelley. You and Paul were bad enough.

Why are you littles always so cute?

hunter is like the best dad ever.

and mandie is the best mom. ♥

brock, you're getting so good at the art thing.

paul on the other hand-
Paul: OUCH.
J: i'm not sure we're old enough for power tools, bro.

Mandie: Mummy's big man is walking!
William: Wheeee!

why do you guys always have pests in the house? ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡

brock is a cuddly older brother.

William: *CHOMP*
Hunter: Want to play a different game, son?

Hunter: That's the song, son!

William: *CHOMP*
Hunter: Well, I suppose you can't fight instincts.

speaking on instincts, it's the rise of the full moon
Paul: *growls*

Paul: I have teeth.

William: hooowwwls!

Hunter: HOOOWWWWLS!
William: hooowwwls!

Kelley: Horsie!

you're always underfoot, biscuit.
Biscuit: Maybe people should have smaller feet.

Paul: I feel like I'm forgetting something important.
Huda: It better not be my food.

Paul: ...ouch.
Hunter: Did you slip on the beach, Paul?
Paul: A little.

Paul: Thanks for teaching me how to night fish, Dad!
Hunter: The activity helps the wolf in me, I figure it might help you.

Blowfish: wheeee!

Paul: Can I eat this?! :D
Blowfish: D:

Hunter: I only got this lousy salmon.
Paparazzo: I feel so sad for you.

sleep tight.

Kelley: Why won't his head come off?
(一。一;;）(一。一;;）(一。一;;）

Kelley: It's my birthday!
it is! kelley rolled Animal Lover as her third trait. A good one for this family, I must say.

Peanut: It's mine too!!

Thanks for reading. ♥

The Saxon Legacy - 1.2

vayleen — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 23:19:24 GMT

Last time: Actually, not too much happened last time because I'm just breezing through this game. Mandie and Hunter had their third child, a girl named Kelley. Brock and Paul became toddlers. I gave in and let Hunter and Mandie get engaged. The doggos were being doggos.

somebody's butt is sparkling, you know what that means

Brock: Ta-da!
weird, your doll thing didn't come to life
Brock: I didn't like it that much anyways.
＼| ￣ヘ￣|／
Brock rolled Loves the Heat for his third trait.

the next great simerican artist, that's brock

did you guys know that in the decade+ i've been simming, i've never used this dumb transmutation device?
and i still don't like it
there's a lot of other, easier ways to get rich quick in this game.

Paul: I gots the block to fits!

Paul: Now Imma eat it!

Mandie: Look at you, winning three-for-three! How did you get so smart?
Brock: I dunno. Books? The green stuff Dad used to dump on me as a baby?
Mandie: Wait, what?
Brock: It's your turn, Mom.

Hunter: smoochie, smoochie, smoochie!
Kelley: o(^▽^)o

Huda: hey
hello, doggo

huda was chasing brock around the yard when she suddenly decided to contemplate the stock market situation. it doesn't look like that, huda. i know dogs are optimists, but goodness gracious.

Butterflies: *exist*

Hunter: Crap, I missed! I could have used those moths for alchemy!
Brock: i will build a new tristate area to rule over!

i forgot to populate the world. there aren't a lot of children to play with.
Brock: Well, this sucks.

Brock: *sigh*

Mandie: This is a what?
Hunter: You want another one, right?
Mandie: Well, yeah, but-
Hunter: It's an elixir to assure conception.

Mandie: Neat.

time to silence those phones, kids.

this is a weird time to become a werewold, hunter.

Hunter: *growls*
Mandie: Look, it's sexy, but no biting with teeth, m'kay?

Brock: These are good hot dogs, Dad.
Hunter: *CHOMP*

when brock isn't making art, he's thinking about making art.
don't we all?

hunter wanted to set off fireworks

Hunter: I will remember fondly forever how I scurried away from the blast!

The fireworks were a dud, but St. Clair sure is pretty.

Huda: They didn't work. Now I'm angry I have nothing to be angry about.
Hunter: Sorry, girl.

Paul: hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl
(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

werewold bbs are moody af
Paul: I want to eat raw meat.
Mandie: Eat your food, Paulie. You can't get out of that chair by yourself.

last time i stg

Hunter is about to enter middle-age.

Brock: Yay for Dad!
Huda: *confused about the noise*

when in doubt, nap, and dream of great feasts

Hunter got a makeover to celebrate the wrinkles on his pretty face.

Huda: Where did everybody go?

Mandie: Aw yikes. Here we go again.
Brock: Yellow is what adds to the dynamic of this color scheme.

This is William Saxon. He's Clumsy and Disciplined.
That combo of traits was weird to say.

Paul: CAN SOMEONE LET ME OUT OF THIS CHAIR ALREADY

i'm creeping on the boring babs. still too little to do anything but poop and sleep.

paul, ffs.

Paul: DESTROY.

Mandie: Paulie, I just gave birth and I want a nap, stop destroying Mummy's nightstand.

it's kelley's birthday!

First child to show up in that coloring from her parents. I'm a fan.

paulie, you're cute when you're not being a terror all the time.
Paul: :D

omg my favorite gnome! hello laundry gnome! ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡

Kelley: Why won't its fit?
try a different hole for that peg, sweetie.

Kelley: It won't fits!
i see you're going to be a terror like your brother.

these two have a serious case of the terrible twos. they're lucky they're adorable.

Paul: *gnaw gnaw gnaw*
Kelley: Paulie, that's gross.
Paul: It's they only way I can get the shape I want!

Kelley: You're weird, Paul-Paul.

Hunter: Time for a bath, William!

with how needy paul and kelley are as toddlers, i tend to forget about poor brock. his imaginary friend didn't come to life either.

we broke the neighborhood ordinance and added another story to the brickstone.

Hunter: Kelley, you can fly!
Kelley: Wheeeeee!

brock?
Brock: I broke the sink again.

Hunter: Hey, son, whatcha doing?
Brock: ANIMAL CROSSING.
Hunter: Awesome, have fun!

mandie is also about to earn some wisdom and wrinkles.

Mandie: And more respect at the workplace.
there is that.

Brock: Weren't you making pasta, Mom?
Mandie: Priorities, my son.

Kelley: *gloop*
Paul: (´▽｀)ノ♪

i almost don't want to let you two out because you're such trouble

Hunter: What are you up to this morning, Paul-Paul?
Paul: Imma eat more bugs and put more stuff in my mouth.
Hunter: Typical day.

Butterflies: *exist*
Hunter: I guess they add a certain ambiance to the dining table.

Hunter: I'm going to make you into an elixer!

it must be spooky day

it's paul's birthday!

Paul: *sparkle*

Paul: Check it out!
He rolled Animal Lover for his third trait.

Paul: What are you wearing?
Brock: It's my spooky day costume. It's how I get free candy. Wanna come?
Paul: I mean, free candy. But I kinda want to chill, I'll just steal some of yours later.
Brock: ...
Paul: Hey, it's free.

Paul: Haha. Bates Motel is some creepy shit.
you're not old enough to watch that. 彡(-_-;)彡

Paul: J, do you want to play?

J: I sure do!

Paul: Whoa. You're alive?
J: And kicking!
Paul: Wow, I can't wait for Mom and Dad to see this!
J: Well, technically you're the only one that can see me.
Paul: Oh.
J: Yeah.
Paul: Awkward.

awwwwww. (灬♥ω♥灬)

aw, hunter.
Hunter: They're all growing up so fast!
i know honey. next time i'll cheer you up by letting you and mandie get married. finally.

Thanks for reading. ♥

The Saxon Legacy - 1.1

vayleen — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 04:17:14 GMT

Last time: Hunter, St. Clair's most awkward werewolf alchemist, met a lovely young woman named Mandie and they fell in love. After some maneuvering, Hunter got Mandie, and her little mongrel puppy Biscuit, to move into his apartment with him and his husky, Huda. They got pregnant and had a boy named Brock. And that's pretty much it, I'm not story-telling too much yet. (^_−)☆

isn't this what everyone does when they visit their partner at work? yes? no?
Hunter & Mandie: *mosh faces*
Brock: (一。一;;）

Mandie: I've decided to pursue a career in politics. Your celebrity stars have made me a recognizable name and I want to make something more of it.
Hunter: And you like people and attention.

Mandie: ...why do you have to say it like that?
Hunter: Like what? How it is?
when you put two leo's together, you gotta expect this stuff, just sayin'

Mandie: Are you saying I shouldn't do it?
Hunter: What?! No, totally do it, you're already my favorite politician ever.
Mandie: Thanks for your support, dear.
Hunter: *rocks out to music*

the date moved to the club across the street
Hunter: ...and that's why alchemy is really an ancient science and definitely not magic.
Mandie: Is there a scientific basis for lycanthropy too?
Hunter: Probably not, this is just hooky!

Mandie: Awkward.
Hunter: I mean... I guess there could be. *stares at drink*

even if all they do is talk about themselves, they're into it

so nice of the paparazzo to help Hunter out by watering the plants after breaking in to take his picture

it's Brock's birthday!

Brock: *squeals*

Hunter: What the hell is on my fingers?
why do you keep smelling them if you don't like it?
Hunter: Because I want to know what it is!
fair enough

i didn't know werewolves had trouble keeping on weight and sleeping
Hunter: I'm too tired and too skinny.

did i not say Mandie is pregnant again?
Mandie: What's the nerve around the butt? Sciatica?
Hunter: That sounds like a pasta.

Mandie: ...Hunter?
Hunter: OMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Hunter: These are my pancakes!
Mandie: Yes, love, and these are my pancakes.

Hunter: You're killing my wolf vibe, baby.
Mandie: Well, my pinched sciatica nerve and I apologize. I'm just grumpy.

Mandie: We're gonna learn to use the potty, okay Brock?
Brock: ?

c'mon kid it's not that bad
Brock: It's all a conspiracy.

the "i figured it out" face is my favorite face on the littles.

Mandie: Can you say "train hard, win easy?"
Brock: Train easy!

Huda: I will watch over the little.
very good girl ♥

my girl checking out those primaries on the horizon

Mandie: //hurk

Hunter: Mandie, what are you doing?
Mandie: Calisthenics. Obviously. For gods' sake, Hunter.

This is Paul Saxon. He's Absent-Minded and Eccentric.

Hunter: Are you ready for breakfast, big man?
Brock: *squee*

Brock: LET THEM EAT CAKE!

gross.

Mandie & Brock: *tickletickletickle*
Paul: （＾ｖ＾）

where the fuck did you get that monstrosity

Huda: *smooches* ♥

feeling icky again, mandie?
Mandie: *groans*

Mandie: *pops*
numero tres en camino

are you two really going to woohoo in the museum? seriously? 彡(-_-;)彡

happy birthday, paul!

i'm kinda into your maxis outfit lol

paul is not into his maxis outfit. fair enough, it's easy to fix.

date night on leisure day at the community recreation center

y'all are cute

Hunter: I have a proposition for you, Mandie.

Mandie: oh my gods!
Hunter: Wait for it...

Hunter: We're both great and we have a great family, want to get hitched?

Mandie said yes.
I'm not generally into marriage, but they really want to do it, and it's 10K lifetime points each, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hunter: Are you excited?
Mandie: In a happy, peaceful way. It's probably pregnancy brain.

Hunter: I don't know about that. I kinda get it. It feels like life is going well.
Mandie: Yeah! But it's also definitely pregnancy brain.

Hunter got a call from his agent (who I didn't know he had until they called) to go dancing at a club for a bunch of money. I need to start buying out the townhouse Hunter's apartment is in, so off they go.

bar sushi, yum.

well paul seems to be enjoying this activity more
Paul: heh.

Brock: Help me! I'm trapped in a what I assume is the matrix!
（；￣д￣）

Hunter: mmmm baby smell
Paul: ♥♥♥

Mandie: Well, if it isn't my oldest boy!
Biscuit: Prepare for snuggles, mother.

happy pup (^∇^)

Mandie: Can you say "Campaign donations?"
Paul: Damnations!
Mandie: Almost, baby.

wuh-oh
Madie: Where is Hunter?!

Hunter: Are you going to take my picture, or?
Paparazzo: Naw, I'm just here to hang out.

Mandie: Brock, find someone to help mommy!
Brock: alphabets! :D

Biscuit: Mom, will the newspaper help?
Mandie: Biscuit-!
Biscuit: I'm helping Mom!

It's a girl! This is Kelley Saxon and she's Insane and a Virtuoso.

Thanks for reading. ♥

The Saxon Legacy - 1.0

vayleen — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 01:34:05 GMT

what the heck is going on, gang? i'm mostly fine. xD after tumblr hit the nuke button on my simblr, you know, the one with zero explicit content, i mostly ignored the sims and played other games until the power supply on my computer broke. i have my backup running with a new video card. and sims was one of the only games on it, so here we are. i'll probably be spending a lot of time alone for the next long while, so i decided to post the family i've been kicking around with.

This is Hunter Saxon and he appeared in the city of St. Clair with no memory of how he got there. Also he's a werewolf. He has no memory of how that happened either.

Well, amnesia or no, sims are social creatures, and Hunter didn't waste any time in the Lonely Hearts Club by making an online dating profile.

Name: Hunter Saxon
Sign: Leo
Traits: Absent-Minded, Diva, Neurotic, Over-Emotional, Nurturing
Faves: Green, Indie, Cookies
LTW: Alchemy Artisan

Alchemy means gardening (wooo my fave) and Hunter got a handful of seeds at the science center.

The mysteries of the ancient science of alchemy will be ~*unlocked*~.

I didn't want poor Hunter to be a lone pack, so now there's also a puppy. This is Huda Saxon.

Hunter lives in an apartment on the second floor of a townhouse on the edge of the city.

♥♥♥

Bonding~

Hunter: Okay, Huda, it's time to learn how to go potty outside.
Huda: wat

what a babe, amirite

I kinda like the look of the townie at the alchemy store. (¬ -̮ ¬)

Hunter: hellowhat'syourname
Mandie: Er... Mandie. Mandie Petty.
Hunter: nice, nice.

Smooth, babe.

Hunter did manage to ask Mandie on a date. They went to the local pub not far from the alchemy store.
Hunter: Did you just drop that?
Mixologist: Heh. First day.
Hunter: Ah.

Mandie: This is a...interesting drink.
Hunter: It's the mixologist's first day.
Mandie: Ah.

They had a fun date. Not bad when you agree to go out with a basic stranger.

I kinda like the look of this awkward mixologist too, but Hunter is already going ape over Mandie, so. Missed opportunity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh no, Hunter, no, don't get caught up in the moment, that never goes well

Mandie: Hunter, what the fuck?
Hunter: Crap. Does it help that I loathe myself and regret all my decisions?
Madie: An apology would help more.
Paparazzo: Heh. This is the juice.

Hunter: Dearest Mandie, how I adore thee, let me count the ways...

Hunter: Dearest Huda, how I adore thee, let me count the ways!
Huda: (✿ ♥‿♥)

poor bab didn't like being alone in the dark while hunter went to the alchemy shop to practice
Huda: //whines

Hunter doesn't have room for a washing machine so he needs to make regular trips to one of St. Clair's fine laundromats. Because those clean moodlets are $$$.

That awkward moment when you drink too much and turn into a werewolf.

Hunter, you look ridiculous. Why are you blond.

Hunter: Hi.
Mandie: Why are you a werewolf beekeeper?
Hunter: Don't ask questions I can't answer.

Yay. A kiss that isn't creepy. Mostly.

Why is Mandie wearing shower shoes?

lol

Hunter and Mandie are doing really well. They're falling head over heels and visit each other almost everyday.

Mandie: ♫♫♫ dadadada almost like being in loooove ♫♫♫

Hunter: THE BEES!
sorry pal, you need the honey and such for your alchemy
Hunter: THE BEEEEEEEEES!!!

The Saxons got their first gnome to get in the way of everything. （＞ｙ＜）

It's Snowflake day! Hunter and Mandie are enjoying the lovely weather today.

can't say i've never done it

Hunter: This is the best day of my life!
(＝⌒▽⌒＝)

Hunter luckily got Mandie back to her apartment before the full moon rose and he had to spend the rest of the night howling at the moon and being generally werewolfy.

Hunter: omnomnomnomnom
Gnome: //wistful stare

Hunter: This is my salad!
I promise you, no one else wants your salad, Mr. sharp teeth.

Hunter has some celebrity points, so he often gets asked to drink at bars or dance at clubs, things like that.
Hunter: Gimme your blue light special. Get it? Because all the lights here are blue?
Mixologist: ...yeah, I get it.
Hunter: Hilarious right?
Mixologist: And refreshing.

Huda: it's muh birfday!
i can't wait for the charm of having a big dog in a small apartment

Hunter: I can't believe you broke the TV, Huda, what is with you girl.

Hunter and Mandie have been kinda busy with their careers, so Hunter made a point to stop by her apartment late one evening.

Mandie has adopted a puppy she calls Biscuit. Also, she's pregnant.

Mandie: Where have you been, love? How have you been? I've missed you!
Hunter: I've missed you too, sweetie.
Mandie: Hunter, why won't you kiss me?

Hunter can't smooch you because you refuse to put your dog down, lady.
Biscuit: Mom. ♥

When she finally put Biscuit down, Hunter got Mandie to be his girlfriend and move in with him. ♥♥♥

Name: Mandie Petty
Sign: Leo
Traits: Mooch, Handy, Charismatic, Friendly, Adventurous
Faves: Black, Western, Stir-Fry
LTW: Super Popular

Huda: hello snek
Snake: hello doggo

Mandie: This is nothing like I expected!

Hunter: Oh my gods what is happening!
Mandie: You ripped your shirt again.

This is Brock Saxon. He's Artistic, and Over-Emotional like Hunter.

Hunter: *sniffs inappropriately*
Mandie: Um. Hunter?
Hunter: He's so beautiful, Mandie!
Mandie: Yes, dear, I like him very much too.

As usual, I'm eerily good at this game, and we have a crapton of gnomes at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

((( archive )))((( download )))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, single handed overpopulation from one family, wedding bells

It's been awhile! Sorry about the weird formatting this update, but LJ did something screwy and I'm too lazy to fix it. Anyway, I'll make this recap brief so we can get right to the update...

Last Time: Caroline was a cutie. Lorlei threw a Snowflake Day gifting party, but it was interrupted when Sailor (simstrology) went into labor. Nicolai and Georgia (simmypulsey) aged into Elders. Lorelei and Hinto (randuhh) had a second child named Lothario after the founding spouse, Don Lothario. And then they were immediately pregnant again. *rolls eyes* Spring came and Lothario became a Toddler. Lorelei gave birth to creepy twins named Zero and Andromeda. Lorelei and </b> Hinto went for a romantic balloon ride and got engaged. Caroline aged up into a Child. Usa the Unicorn aged up into a beautiful unicorn mare, but that meant Delphi and Mocha had to leave us. < /3 And that's where I left you all those months ago! D:

Toddlers making the poop face is just about the cutest thing. Even in RL, toddlers just look perplexed like they don't know what's happening.

It's nice having a great-grandma to keep you squeaky clean too.

Zoya: Feeling better, Lothario?

Zoya: Always wear your best clothes before you enter a bathroom. You never know who you're going to meet.
Lothario: Um...
Zoya: I'm setting a good example.

I think Lothario prefers to be naked. Like, all the time.

Georgia (simmypulsey): Who's making all that noise? Is that you?! The sun isn't even up yet!

Georgia: Why are you acting so onery?! I'm going to have to talk to Mom about her bovine perennial-

BESSIE!

I guess when the sun finally rose, the cowplant decided it could just photosynthesize and spit poor Georgia out.

Georgia: I better not have lost any muscle mass from that or you're turning into mulch.

This is me spoiling Caroline. Dress her in cute, comfy PJs, having the chef make her favorite meal for breakfast, watching her smile softly because she's so happy. ;.;

Nooo, you don't have to do your homework or get ready for school. You can play in the playground in your backyard aaall day long. ♥

Part of me doesn't want her to go to school because I'll miss her too much. Adults are so boring. I'd rather play with a house full of kids doing kid things, even though Caroline tends to keep entirely to herself.

...though I suppose Zoya is entertaining despite being a near-immortal old lady.

Zoya: I smell science.

Zoya: IS THERE SCIENCE IN HERE?!

At the one club in Riverview, Lorelei is having a get-together with a handful of friends and family, including my favorite townie-turned-paparazzo Gwen Glover.

Gwen: Aren't you going to change into fancy dress?

Lorelei: Naw, just this. So, we're all fancy, and at a bar! Anyone want a drink? I can't taste it or get drunk, but I like the bubbles-

Sailor (simstrology): I've got some bubbles if it's bubbles you want.
Lorelei: Sailor-

Yay, Meldoy (ohmysims) and Calliope (kittenmittons) made it too! (And I think Melody is pregnant, how adorable.)

Melody: What kind of bar doesn't have pineapple juice?! I have limited drinking choices just in my condition, you know, I didn't drive all the way out to this creepy warehouse to drink water all night-
Lorelei: Isn't there another kind of juice you like, Mel-?
Melody: This party is falling apart.

Lorelei: Wait here, Mel, I'm going to go find a bottle of apple cider that you can drink all by yourself in a dark corner.
Melody: Hey if you can't handle a little criticism-

Lorelei: I can handle criticism, I come from a long line of artists-
Georgia: Hey there~!

The dancers that showed up look terrified. Thanks for calling them, Gwen.

Dancer: So...I just dance?
Calliope: Yeah.
Dancer: And...you guys are going to watch?
Calliope: Are you new to this, friend? Here, I'll show you how it's done...

Meanwhile...Zoya decided to die. ~~Again.~~

Parties are everyone's favorite place to die.

Melody: Who's that creeping up behind me?
Grim Reaper: Yo.
Melody: Worst party ever.

Lorelei: But Grandma!!!
Yan (comradecube): Wrong day to come out to the bar...

Grim Reaper: It's time, Zoya. No more tricks or cheating death with mad science.
Zoya: Okay, you win, Mr. Death. But first! I grew this flower for you, isn't it lovely??
Grim Reaper: One of your ancestors gave me a flower just like this once. Are you trying to bribe me to let you live?
Zoya: I just thought you'd like it-

Grim Reaper: Okay, you can live longer.
Zoya: But-
Grim Reaper: No arguing, you're getting your corporeal body back.

Lorelei: Yay, you're not dying after all, Grandma!
Zoya: I guess if I want to be a ghost I have to make another one of those chemical elixers...
Georgia: ...

The drama of a second-hand near-death experience and shy party dancers was too much for poor Georgia.

Meanwhile, the rest of the part raged on.

Lorelei: Mom, you're awake! Did you have a nice nap? Anyway, I need someone to make a toast to my coming nuptials, you can do that right?

Georgia: Hey everybody! My daughter is getting married, let's party!
Lorelei: Okay...A little different than what I expected, but okay.

Georgia: Lighten up, baby girl, you're getting married tomorrow. Enjoy your party!
Lorelei: Mom! You know I can't taste alcohol or metabolize it! It's just going to make me wet!

Lorelei: Oh, what the hell.

It was...quite a party.

Zoya took pity on the shy party dancers and told them to take a break and eat something. Poor fellas.

Shy Dancer #1: It was nice of that lady to give us food.
Shy Dancer #2: These are the best buffalo wings I've ever had.

Zoya turned out to be a better dancer anyway.

I think your butt is ringing, Zo.

Zoya: Sure, I can meet you in a bit, it's just my granddaughter's bachelorette party. It's winding down anyway. What did you have in mind?

Aphpo wanted to go on a date.

Aphpo: I understand that it is a human courting ritual to admire the luminous plasma spheres.
Zoya: We call them stars, but yeah.

Aphpo: 'Stars?'
Zoya: Much more romantic than 'luminous plasma spheres', don't you think? Oh look, there's the constellation Leo! See how it's shaped like a lion?
Aphpo: I do not.
Zoya: You aliens need to exercise your imagination muscle.
Aphpo: That is not an anatomically accurate-

Meanwhile at the party...

Alien Lady: I have mastered the hip motion your species uses to attract consorts.
Shy Dancer #2: How romantic. ♥♥♥

Lorelei tries her hand at sexy dancing.

Whoops. You need to practice moving in those heels, beloved.

Lorelei: I hope nobody saw that...

Passed out on the floor in a grungy bar bathroom.

Classy.

Lorelei: This is shameful. I'm a vampire, I shouldn't be this affected by alcohol.

Aw, sweetheart. You're also really sleep deprived. Go home and get a good night sleep for your wedding tomorrow.

Lorlei: OMG hey guise it's my wedding day! :DDDD LOL!

Her blog is going well.

Caroline, in her fashion, enjoyed spending that morning by herself playing her games of pretend.

Caroline: Yippee!

Why are you so cuuuute...

Hinto: Oh gods, I think I'm going to be...*ulp*...ill!
Georgia: Dressing rooms and bathrooms are underground, you better get down there and pull yourself together before Lori gets here. It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding.

Zoya: Grey skies are going to clear up, right Hinto?!
Hinto: *incoherently groans*

Who cares if it's bad luck to see each other before the wedding? Hinto was feeling much better as soon as he saw Lorelei. And Lori was content to spend time with him before the guests arrived.

Lorelei: We scored! 100% meant to be!
Hinto: There was never any doubts, sweetheart.

Hinto: It's romantic, isn't it?
Lorelei: Yes it is. ♥

Zoya: So are we having a wedding, or...?

Seneca and Calliope were getting worked up over the romantic festivities.

Tilly (berrysweetshoppe): But I can't see!

Caroline: Uncle Toby, I can trust you to answer this truthfully. Would it be a total faux pas for me to ditch this crowd and hit the buffet table before everyone else gets there?
October: Probably. You'd miss your parents saying their vows.
Caroline: Am I bovvered though?

Lorelei: What a nice sunny day for our wedding. Nice for everyone but me, anyway, I was hoping for a little cloud cover.
Hinto: Are you okay?
Lorelei: Of course, Hinto.

Hinto: Okay, I just worry. You're skin isn't burning?
Lorelei: Hinto, stop worrying, this is a happy day. Let's get married.

October: It's so beautiful!
Calliope: I'm so happy I'm part of the Storms legacy!
Melody: *sniff* I love weddings.
Elendil: Want to go find a quiet corner to get frisky in?
Melody: *sniffle, sniff* Sure.

Zoya: Hooray!
Nicolai: It sure is nice to see them so happy.

Mmmmm, cake time.

Hinto: This is turning out to be quite the swanky shindig!
Lorelei: I know! Not bad for the last legacy wedding.

sdfghjkl; I just love them so much.

Oh yeah, Lorelei and Hinto got married on another full moon. Seneca and Calliope are feeling some minor effects.

Seneca: Ergh Argh egghr ooogh.
Hinto: Excuse me, dear, I think my best-friend would like to have a word with me.
Lorelei: Of course, anything for you and my big brother.

Hinto: Oh Seneca! Did you and your wife get all zombified for my wedding?! That's so cool! You're such a good friend!
Elendil: He smells, Lori-
Lorelei: Leave it alone, Ele.

Seneca: YAAARRRGH!
Hinto: Awesome!
Elendil: No. Not awesome. Zombies are not awesome.

Lorelei and Hinto kept a tradition alive in the photobooth.

Lorelei: Oh baby, I'm keeping this one.

She's so beautiful. And happy to be married. It was really adorable how often she did this.

Georgia: What a lovely evening.
Caroline: Yep.
Georgia: You didn't watch it, did you Carrie?
Caroline: Nope. Been enjoying the buffet table all night.

I can tell, cutie.

Look at those cheeks. I want to pinch them. :3

Back at home, Blue is getting old. *tears*

Still a beautiful mare. ♥

The twins are aging up too! I only caught Andromeda sparkling.

Babies. ♥

Andromeda is a vampire-imaginary friend hybrid who is a Genius Virtuoso.

Her brother, Zero is also a vampire-imaginary friend hybrid and he's a Brave Loner. He also somehow got his grandfather's skin like Lothario.

Lorelei: Look how big Mommy's babies have gotten!
Zero: Um...okay?

Lorelei: I love you so much, little Zero.

Lorelei: Yuck. I have not felt right since my bachelorette party.

Yes, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the wall you're merging with.

Lorelei: Not again...

Wedding pictures. ♥

My baby Caroline loved the rain. And I think puddle jumping is one of the best things to happen in Sims Seasons.

Caroline: Splish splash, sploosh splish! Rain and puddles and ponds and fish!

Lothario: I will make a city of blocks and all the block city inhabitants will adore me.

Andromeda: Charming, Loth. A city full of Lothario Storms worshipers? Sounds like a dystopia to me.

Zero: He doesn't know what that means, Mimi, he doesn't have a vampire's thinking power.
Andromeda: Aw, poor baby.
Lothario: Whatevs, I just need more blocks.

Zero: ♫♪ Hide all the blocks for the ci-ty! ♪♫
Lothario: Dude, don't even!

A pick where Zero and Andromeda are acting like real toddlers.

Look at that face. Irresistible.

Nicolai: What a big girl!
Andromeda: Well...it's not like it's that hard.

Lothario: Why isn't anyone paying attention to meee?

I'm sure Lorelei is pregnant. I'm also sure this first trimester is doing a number on her since she's nauseous all the time and napping regularly.

Lorelei: Oh, gods.

Poor baby.

Hinto: What if you have bird flu?! Shingles?! FLESH-EATING DISEASE?!!
Lorelei: Hinto, you're freaking out.

Lorelei: I'm just pregnant.
Hinto: Ah. Business as usual then.

Lorelei: Time to find myself that pink diamond.

So fierce.

Lorelei: Oh, don't tell me you're jammed.

Lorelei: COME ON!

She did it!

Lorelei: Oh gods, this is a lot deeper than I thought...!

Bye! Have fun underground!

Caroline doing ~~yet another~~ an activity by herself.

To tell you the truth, this is the kind of lonesome activity I could get behind. Warm spring evening, relaxing in the pool, with an interesting book. Sigh.

Caroline: I. Am. Good.

I bought Zoya the the science station gizmo thing because she kept rolling wishes related to it and I am a complete pushover when it comes to Zoya's whims.

Zoya: IT'S A SEED!

Bless. ♥

Lorelei: Hugh Everett then hypothesized that the multiple world complex - are you sure you want me to read you this logic book before bed?
Caroline: It's putting me right to sleep, Mom.

Lorelei: You definitely have the Storms dry sense of humor. Goodnight, baby girl.

Nicolai: I love that space suit.
Georgia: Why don't you show me how much?

They will never act their age, will they?

Zo. What is up with that science seed you planted?

This better not be what I think it is...

Zoya: Not exactly what I expected.

Lorelei: Looks like my other babies needs attention!
Hermione: I hope you mean caviar.

Lorelei: Time for a bath-HEY!
Hermione: LOL NOPE!

This will cheer you up, Lori. A beautiful heart-shaped pink diamond!

Lorelei: And now I'll begin my secret experiment.

Lorelei: WHOA! And I was just getting into the grove!

While our beloved heiress is at the hospital, Penelope aged into an old dog.

Still adorable.

For some reason, the hospital glitched and Nicolai found the new baby outside the front door. Meet Winter Storms.

Nicolai: Nice to meet you, young lady. Did you know you're named after my favorite cousin?

Zero: But I wanted to play with the yellow car!
Lothario: Grandma said it's important for us to share!
Zero: No! You can't even appreciate the intricacies of a such a finely crafted toy!

Hermione: Why are the small hairless cats so noisy?
Howell: Nevermind. Let's just find where they keep their food.

I bought the violin and Hinto wasted no time in finding it.

He doesn't look particularly introspective.

Hinto: I'm too happy to brood. I have five beautiful, healthy children.

Nicolai: Do you know what never gets old, Georgie?
Georgia: Not my thoracic spine, that's for sure.

Nicolai: Remember this trick?
Georgia: NIKKI! You nostalgic old geezer. ♥

A couple days after Winter was born, Lorelei was recovered enough to get back to her secret experiment.

ZERMIGAWD!

Lorelei: IT'S ALIIIVE!

Meet Go Storms.

We're not going to keep him long, but he's entertaining.

Caroline: Check it out, Go! I got a badge for knowing the most science fiction references!

Go: That's right up my ally, as they say!
Caroline: Hehe. I like you, Go. I can talk to you without talking to a real person.

Ah. That's not all that kind, Carrie.

Though it is strange how she flocks to Go and not a flesh-n-blood family member.

Oh goody! Sparkling baby!

Looking a bit like a Lorelei clone, but good job on your face anyway, Loth.

So like I said...Lothario appears to have the exact same face as Lorelei. He just has Georgia's eye color and Nicolai's skin instead of Lorelei's. :P He rolled Virtuoso for his third trait. I'm starting to think the secret goal of the tenth generation is to form an underground band.

Hermione: WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO GROW TALL, HAIRLESS CAT?!

Hermione: Now find me some food!
Lothario: Sheesh, what gives?! I thought cats were supposed to be sweet.

I think Lothario is growing on me, despite being a clone. ♥

Until next time. ♥

The Storms Legacy - 9.2

vayleen — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 01:14:22 GMT

((( archive )))((( download )))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, birthdays and weddings and goodbyes

Last Time: Nicolai met a unicorn named Mocha and he came home with him to marry Delphi. Elendil and October came home from boarding school and wrote love letters to their old girlfriends. October was reunited with Sailor (simstrology) and they ran off together to live happily ever after. Elendil didn't have as much luck with Melody (ohmysims) - there was a lot of wooing involved. Luckily for him, it worked and they ran off together too. Meanwhile Delphi and Mocha had a baby unicorn named Usa and the whole house flipped over a baby unicorn. Zoya dated a weird alien named Aphpo. Georgia (simmypulsey) accomplished her LTW and is now a super awesome astronaut. Last but not least, Lorelei and Hinto (randuhh) had a baby named Caroline. They're brilliant parents.

We're going to begin by checking on my heiress and her babies because I love babies.

Lorelei: I'm going to start teaching you the dictionary.com words of the day because they're easy and silly and everyone knows them. Like "droll" and "quibble".
Caroline: (...)
Lorelei: ikr, why have words of the day everyone already knows? Who's running that website?

This is Caroline without eccentric, insane, or neurotic adults bothering her all the time.

Caroline: Joy!

Caroline: Do you want to play with me? ♥

She's asking you to play, Hugo-

Hugo: But my eyes! They can see! They can see the back of other eyes-

You're a ghost, Hugo. You're eyes don't have nerve endings, you technically can't see anything. See, this is me taking the magic out of magic. Don't leave me in Vegas, friends.

Speaking of ghosts-

Evan (pauselegacy): So these are the kids in charge?
Kendra: One of them is a vampire.
Evan: The family sure has changed over the years. Except for one thing.
Kendra: Hm?
Evan: You know...they look like they love each other.

Awww. ♥

That's just cheesy.

Someone built a snowman on the roof. ♥

Usa enjoys playing in the snow with her parents.

Usa: It's fluffy, Mom, is it supposed to be fluffy?

Delphi: Try dancing in it!
Usa: No, I wanna eat it.

Like most completely normal families, the Storms like to bundle up in their outdoor coats and hats and eat their family meals outside in the bitter winter cold instead of inside where it's toasty warm.

Nicolai: I was down at the center to look at the new race horses that might need personal training, and one of them was named Oreo. Who names a race horse Oreo?
Zoya: Maybe we all need cookie names. It'll confuse the cannibals that hate cookies.

Georgia (simmypulsey): Please don't.
Zoya: There's snow on my food because I'm not eating it fast enough.

Hinto (randuhh): ...I'd name him Fig Newton, I mean, if you're going to name a race horse after a cookie-
Nicolai: Yeah, that does sound more horse-like!

Dinner with the Storms.

I like to take a lot of pictures of Hinto being an awesome Dad because he loves being one.

Hinto: Are you ready for me to let go, Carrie?
Caroline: Nooo! D:!
Georgia: It's so inhumanely clean up here.

Caroline: I'm so taaall!

It's Snowflake Day at the house.

Sailor (simstrology) came over with their gifts and she is gorgeousHUGE!

JONATHAN!

Jonathan: Grandma it is SO COLD outside! I love the cold, don't you love the cold?!

Zoya: Now aren't you cute with your cute granchild cheeks? Lemme pinch them!

Jonathan: GRANDMA! That is so embarrassing, I am too old for that.

Seneca: Give it up, son. Grandma pinches my cheeks too.
Zoya: Yep.
Jonathan: Crap.

I LOVE Christmas, and I have been looking forward to the Storms celebrating snowflake day for ~~YEARS~~ several minutes. Just look at this pile of presents!

Except...

Sailor: Sooo...has anyone seen Toby?! Toby, where are you?!

October: HAPPY SNOWFLAKE DAY, EVERYONE!

Yes indeed. The pile of presents promptly disappeared when Sailor went into labor in the middle of the party and the entire family went into the panic.

Because of Sailor, not because the presents disappeared.

Right.

After Sailor, October, and the majority of the family left, the remaining Storms went to the festival to continue their Snowflake Day celebrations.

Nicolai: Mom, we're having a snowball fight, no water balloons-
Georgia: LOL
Nicolai: Seriously, Mom-!

Aphpo: Isn't it risky to pelt a human skull with half frozen water?
Zoya: Good thing it's summer then.
Aphpo: Madame Storms, it is snowing. Oh, you tell the most charming jokes.

Nicolai: I could have moved out and away from my insane mother, but no. I had to inherit the house.

Poor Nicki.

Lorelei: It's a shame we couldn't open presents with the whole family.
Hinto: That's all right, Lori. Babies never come on a set schedule, do they?

Lorelei: Ingenious use of a broken carrot, Hinto.

Lorelei: Happy Snowflake Day. ♥

Carrie spends her Snowflake Day burying her bear in the snow.

Caroline: I do this because I love you and it's the only way to survive until Spring.

When they finally arrived home, Nicolai started clapping his hands and jumping up and down for no apparent reason.

Georgia: What's got him so excited?

Nicolai: These sparkles feel different.
Zoya: That's old age, son.

Georgia: *celebrates*
Nicolai: Oooh, what happened to my spine?

What better way to celebrate one's last birthday than a deep fried burrito? (Sorry I forgot your birthday, Nicki. ♥)

It's a full moon tonight.

Lorelei: I'm hungry...the baby is hungry...I think I'm going to go for a walk.
Hinto: Should I wait up?
Lorelei: No, no. I'll wake you when I get back, m'kay?

Vampires are sooo scary.

Poor street vendor. This is what happens when you're out past three in the morning and monsters are about.

Meanwhile, Caroline is adorable and I am continuing to spam you with her.

Caroline favors the whale her mother made her.

Speaking of Miss Storms...

Lorelei: It's supposed to be easier the second time around.

Hinto: Oh gods...oh gods...okay, should I call the hospital? Is there gas in the cars? Do you have a bag packed?
Georgia: And while your parents are unhinged, you will finish learning how to walk, won't you, precious?

Meet Lothario Storms.

Lorelei: I love my new baby boy, yes I do! You're so cute!

Speaking of cuties. ♥

Howell? What are you doing, cat?

Howell: Being a cat.

Oh look. Another sim waving and clapping ~~for no apparent reason~~ because I forgot her birthday.

Georgia: I do not like the feel of this.

Nonsense, Georgia. It's just old age and you're a cute old lady.

Besides, now you and Nicolai can be cute old people together. Look at how cute you guys are.

Georgia: You're the best friend a girl could ask for.
Nicolai: Ditto.

I'm fairly certain one of them is going to die this way.

Hinto spends a lot of time in the nursery baby-talking his kids.

Hinto: Peek-a-boo! Who's my brave fierce son?! Is it Lothario?! Yes it is!

Hinto: And you're going to help Mom and Dad take care of all your brothers and sisters aren't you-?

Lorelei: Wow, it's like you expect to have a whole hoard of children.
Hinto: Well...you came from a big family and I was looking forward to having one too...I mean, if that's what you want-
Lorelei: So far it looks like you're getting one. I'm pregnant again.

Hinto: Really?!

Caroline: If anyone is interested, I'm awake now...

Hinto: This is the point where you Storms women have twins, right? Are there twins in there?
Lorelei: I hope not.

(I hope so since I finally figured to change the new SP settings.)

Zoya: This garden is full of germs. Hoawdy-toawdy mister smart aleck germaphobes!

Zoya: No, no, this is not allowed! The germs make the flowers flower and the vegetables veggie! They do not make me grow! Stop it!

Zoya: I don't have to take this. I'm going downstairs to my museum where objects appreciate me and I appreciate objects!

One day I'm going to demolish this museum, Zo. It keeps crashing the game.

(But it makes her so happy, I'm torn!)

Spring is here.

Usa loves the Spring.

Lorelei is enjoying an easy pregnancy building and building and building.

Layer Cake House in the Spring.

Baby Carrie enjoys another toy her mother made for her.

Caroline: It talks. ♥

Lorelei: It sure does, precious. ♥
Lothario: ZzZzzz

Lorelei: Ow. And I hoped this pregnancy would be back-ache free.

Lorelei relaxes for the rest of the day by playing with her favorite feline friends.

Late that night, Aphpo showed up to hang-out with Zoya.

Aphpo: And the object is to out-maneuver the computer system and use teamwork to escape the facility using dimension generating technology?
Zoya: They're called portals, Po.

Aphpo: Why did you trap my red character in a blue generated dimension? I seem to be caught in a loop.

Zoya: Because it's hilarious, silly!

Nicolai: There you go, dear, drink it all up.

Nicolai: You're going to be the strongest unicorn in the countryside, Usa.

Hinto: Try this one, Carrie. That's right! You're going to be a great musician like your Dad, aren't you?

Caroline: I'm going to be a tap dancing lawyer in the peace core!
Hinto: You bet you are!

Zo...I don't know if I'd eat that if I were you. Looks spicy.

Zoya: HUH-BUH-BUH-BO-WHA!
Hitno: She's talking just like you guys, how about that-

Zoya: Oh, my head! Hinto, don't eat this unless you need to completely decongest!
Hinto: Okay, I'll remember that.

I'm so excited! It's time for another birthday already. ♥

Lothario: *sparkles, sparkles, sparkles*

Sweet Lothario Storms with his utterly Tempo coloring, and he somehow inherited Nicolai's skin. Must be a new SP quirk, because a child has never inherited a grandparent's skin before in this game. =/ His first traits are Loves the Cold and Good. So far not at all like the man he was named for...

Caroline: What's that?

That's your brother.

Caroline: Did anybody check with me before letting him do this?

Um...do what?

Caroline: Grow. Now he's going to get it my way.

Lothario rocking out the baby walker. You walk that thing, baby.

Llama person: How am I supposed to leave a charming gift basket when this giant electric fence is in the way?!

You're not.

*sigh*

On this cold. spring night, Lorelei goes into labor for the third time.

Lorelei: I'm never going to get used to this-

Zoya: Oh gods, you're in labor! And if the family pattern holds, it's going to be twins or triplets! Shit! Where is your husband during this crisis?!
Lorelei: Working late at a concert! Owww-

Lorelei ran off with only Zoya awake to drive her to the hospital.

Zoya: Lori, you're running faster than the car, what do you need me for?!

So when the babies woke up, the grandparents did too.

Lothario: I'm tired and hungry and if someone doesn't rock me to sleep right now I THINK I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE!

Georgia: Children are terrifying.

Says the woman who spends an entire day in space once a week.

Now he's entertained. ♥ Cute bb.

And here they come! ...with the predictable multiple babies. (That's like five or six generations in a row. Must be the way I play this family.)

Meet Zero and Andromeda Storms.

Zoya: Typical. Vampire twins. What a family.
Hinto: *excited new baby face*

The dog sleeps in the sauna.

Hinto: So I just tug on this and close that?
Lorelei: That's the idea.

Hinto: Is this the best weather to try this sort of thing out in?
Lorelei: It's fine.
Hinto: Was that thunder-?
Lorelei: Stop worrying, Hinto. Look, other people are doing it too.

Hinto: They've been up there a while.
Lorelei: Think we'll catch up to them?

Hinto is Neurotic, so he was constantly worrying about the whole shindig while Lorelei was chill. She was just happy the sun wasn't out.

Things got romantic...♥

Hinto: Hey let's take some selfies and post them to our blogs!
Lorelei: Okay, are we smiling or going for the ironic candid?

Hinto: I've got a better idea.

Hinto: Mmrmpf!

Lorelei really got into it.

But Hinto is really into Lorelei, so he didn't mind.

He was hot when he did this.

Lorelei: Wow.
Hinto: I think the rain is turning to steam as it hits your skin-

Lorelei: Anyway, speaking of blogs, I have an important question for you. That might involve a blog for both of us-
Hinto: And that would be-?

Lorelei: Will you marry me?

Hinto Amitola is probably thinking finally.

♥

Hinto: This calls for a celebration. Luckily I planned ahead.

Lorelei: You planned for this?
Hinto: Not this specifically, I thought this was going to be a congrats we're flying celebration, but this is better.

Lorelei: Cheers, fiancé.
Hinto: Cheers, fiancée.

//texts everyone I know
"omg hinto&lorelei 5ever!!!" heart emoji
♥♥♥

In another part of Riverview, Nicolai and Georgia are enjoying a date at the new bowling alley.

Nicolai: I haven't had one of these since we were kids!
Georgia: Not going to stop you, but you shouldn't drink soda at your age Nikki-
Nicolai: Oh who cares about 'shouldn't do!'

Nicolai: Wow, that's like instant bad gas-
Georgia: I'm not going to say I told you so because I could care more. *sips green tea* Yep, I am zen.

Luckily Georgia's competitive streak kicked in and she enjoyed a rousing game of bowling.

Back at home, Lorelei is enjoying all the fulfilling and wonderful joys of motherhood.

Andromeda: *cries incessantly*
Lorelei: *groooaaan* What is the matter with you, baby?

Andromeda: *continues to wail*
Lorelei: Poor thing. You're just having a bad day. Ugh, why do you have to make it bad for everyone, love?

Between child-rearing, Lorelei likes to update her blog.

So...in case you were curious...there's a mod you can use that let's you have up to 60 fish inside the aquariums. And if your fish are amorous, there's some easy money there.

Just don't be like me and forget you installed the mod.

IT'S BIRTHDAY TIME!

Nicolai: OMG YAY, I LOVE BIRTHDAYS! MY FIRST GRANDCHILD IS GROWING UP!
Lorelei: You're more excited than the baby, Dad.

Caroline: *sparkle, sparkle*

This is Caroline Storms II as the most adorable child in the entire simverse isn't she precious. Her new trait is Adventurous, one of my favorites.

As a Loner, Carrie prefers eating her birthday cake as far away from her parents and grandparents as possible.

Then she likes to turn on the country tunes and chill in her bathtub.

//things that Loners do.

More sparkles and birthdays!

Usa (aka Moonlight Legend) aged up! She grew with this fabulous lady horse pony beard that and a long, black tail. I adore her.

Since Usa us grown, it's time for Mocha and Delphi to return to the wild to live out their magical eternity.

Nicolai: Goodbye, Mocha. Thank you for being a part of my family.
Mocha: It was our destiny, Nicolai.

It was harder for Nicolai to say goodbye to Delphi because they have known each other since Nikki was very young and have traveled across the world together.

Nicolai: *laughs* Remember when I tried to get you to come over to me by bribing you with whipped cream?
Delphi: That was adorable. You had a very poor sense of what mammals liked to eat.
Nicolai: Yes, well...I was a vampire at the time.

Nicolai: Is it really time?
Delphi: Yes. I'm sorry, Nicolai.

Nicolai: I don't like goodbyes.

Nicolai: Goodbye, Delphi, my old friend. I'll miss you terribly.
Delphi: Goodbye, Nicolai. Take care of Usa. She's a part of your family.

Delphi and Mocha vanished into the magical world of endless rainbows and fields (and whatever the heck else unicorns come from, amiright?) to live out the rest of their long, happy lives. At least, we can hope. If that magical world is anything like the magical forest in OUAT, they're in for a wild ride.

Until next time. ♥

The Storms Legacy - 9.1

vayleen — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:06:30 GMT

((( archive )))((( download )))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, runaway marriages, babies, all sorts of babies

I barely took the time to say hello last time because I was sitting on that update for awhile and wanted to get it published. I have my new computer built and running and it's beautiful. I have finally switching all my CC over to CC Magic, which is also beautiful - it's a wonderful program. Between the two, every save like a dream except for this one. XD Further research has told me that it's the vast collection of World Adventures junk in the house that is causing the Storms to be buggy. I'm trying to decide if I can tolerate it or if I'll delete it all and wash my hands of it.

Also, you probably noticed I rebuilt layer cake house - when I installed seasons and tested the old layer cake house with my self-sim, it rained and snowed on my pixelated head. Since it didn't make sense to use an umbrella indoors (even if it was pretty funny...) I had to rebuild the glitched family home. The new layout is much smaller because I didn't keep all the extra rooms I built for heirs and spouses because of lifetime wishes and such - the third floor is completely gone except for Lorelei's suite and some workshops.

The game looks a little different even though the video card is the same, which doesn't make sense. Anyway, I'm experimenting with CS5 editing, so I'm sorry if the pics look different every time. Also, I forgot to edit the night pictures before it was too late. So they're a tad dark. Sorry for that too.

Some people have been asking about Parker - rather than do a spin-off, I'm going to include that story in the epilogue. There will be an heir poll at the end of this Generation strictly for the epilogue. I will not be raising that heir's family.

Speaking of family, the family tree is updated.

I should note this since someone asked - in the Storms universe, unicorns can communicate with animals and with humans. Toddlers and animals have dialogue, but no one understands them, except sometimes my insane sims do, i.e., Zoya.

Lastly, this generation is making me really nostalgic, I can't believe I started this legacy over two years ago. I've come a long way from an old, dingy dell laptop with windows vista and windows paint. Thank you all so much for enjoying it as much as you have, your comments and encouragement have touched my heart. ♥♥♥

Last Time: The current legacy torch holders, Zoya, Nicolai, and Lorelei, moved the family back to their roots in Riverview. Elendil and October were shipped off to boarding school soon after the move. Seneca and Calliope (kittenmittons) started a relationship during this time and Seneca started his acrobat career. Meanwhile, I fell more in love with baby Jonathan and was broken hearted when Seneca and Calliope got married and the three of them moved out. (sob!) Lorelei started tinkering, inventing, and digging through junk for a living - the perfect job for an heiress after a long legacy, right? She also terrorized the small town of Riverview every full moon because she's a scary vampire. Also, she was surprised by her high-school boyfriend, Hinto (randuhh), when he showed up to the Fall Festival to sweep her off her feet. ♥ And knock her up at her disco themed costume party.

Lorelei is working hard on her LTW. Neither of us have any idea on what monster making entails, but we do know that it involves being a vampire inventor. Or at least an inventor.

Lorelei also wants to excel in the Inventing profession, so she makes a lot of time machines. There isn't a lot of profit yet, because the consignment shop breaks randomly, but the Storms are terribly rich anyway so I don't care overly much. In fact, Zoya bought the whole town when they moved back to Riverview so I wouldn't have to look at the obnoxious amount of money they had.

Zoya: Really? None at all? And you don't know where I might find some...okay, thank you anyway.

One unexpected hiccup in Lori's monster making plan is finding life fruit. Since layer cake house had to be rebuilt, they lost the surplus of exotic produce the family has built over the years. The new garden is growing well, but...still no life fruit.

Zoya: Oh, the humanity! Now how will I keep Otto alive?!

Otto died a long time ago, Zo.

Lorelei: Why am I so hungry??!

Because you haven't eaten since the full moon and now you're eating for two.

Lorelei: I wonder who is going to feed me and my baby today...

Hinto (randuhh): Say what?
Lorelei: I asked if I could drink some of your blood?
Hinto: I'll admit, Miss Monster High, that freaks me out a little-
Lorelei: But it's for our baby, Hinto. Baby will probably react better if I drink some of your blood anyway.

Hinto: Okay...well...if it'll help the baby stay healthy-
Lorelei: It will! And I promise that this won't even hurt.

Hinto: I...I think I need to lie down.
Lorelei: Did I hurt you?
Hinto: Not at all, but...I'm thinking a little tryst with dreamland would be a good idea before I have my music audition at the theatre.

First, Hinto had to wash his hands. Two or three times. I think he was more bothered by Lori drinking his blood than he could admit.

Oddly, Lorelei's hunger meter did not change afterwards, so she had to drink from a second person.

Kurt-the-Butler: But this isn't in my contract! Curt, you're the chef, you should feed her!
Curt-the-Chef: Leave me out of this.
Lorelei: This is going to hurt you more than it hurts me!

Nicolai has a secret plan, so he's been hanging out at the fishing hole. It was mostly uneventful, until one day...

?: Hey, who are you?

Nicolai: I'm Nicolai Storms, I just moved into the strange looking house across town. Anyway...I heard a rumor that a unicorn lived near this pond-
Unicorn: You're looking at him. Say, are you the family with the pretty mare unicorn?
Nicolai: Yes. That's my friend, Delphi.

Unicorn: Well, friend of the unicorns, I have something for you!

The unicorn blessed Nicolai.

Nicolai: Thank you! Even living with a unicorn, I will never get over how exhilarating unicorn magic feels!

Nicolai: I've been thinking about this for a long time. Delphi is a dear friend, but I think she would be happier if another of her kind was close by. Would you like to join me and my family?

Unicorn: Are you saying you'll introduce me to the pretty mare unicorn?
Nicolai: Exactly!

Unicorn: Then I'm all for it!

Meet Shadows Origin Storms. Or as he likes to call himself, Mocha.

My babies are home from boarding school!

They are a few days early, but I'm okay with that because I missed them. ♥

Look at them in their boarding school colors! Studly.

Elendil graduated from LeFromage Art School with the Star Quality trait. He lost his LTW of Vocal Legend for some reason, so I had to add it back for him. >.> He did not enjoy boarding school while he was gone, but he got to come home early, so whatever. He'll probably complain anyway when he fights with his mother.

October graduated from Dribbledine Sports Academy with the Adventurous trait and the Great Explorer lifetime wish. Structurally, I think he and Lorelei are identical, but Toby is just...unf. Really, really hot.

The twins are now available on the download page.

Hello, Zoe.

Lorelei: It's just...it's just...so...

So what?

Lorelei: Exquisite!

I don't even know.

Mocha: Hey pretty lady!
Delphi: Hello...?
Mocha: I go by Mocha. Nicolai asked me to join the family. He said you could use some company. I imagine it gets a little lonely for a unicorn like you-

Blue: Hey, what are we talking about?
Mocha: Oh. There is another horse here.
Delphi: Yes, this is Blue. She and Nicolai are dear friends to me.
Mocha: Yeah, Nicolai seems like an upstanding guy.

Mocha: I was hoping you and I could get to know each other better-
Delphi: I know where we can go.

Blue: I wonder where they went?

Blue: *munch munch munch*

October: You took the last of the pink stationary!
Elendil: So?
October: So I wanted to use it to write to Sailor! I haven't seen her in over a week!

Elendil: Tough luck, Toby, I need the girly stationary to woo my estranged girlfriend.
October: It's been forever, Ele, don't you think Melody moved on?
Elendil: ...Go away, October.

Hermione: Chipmunk?

Hermione: Chipmuuunk?!

Hermione: I'm gonna eat him.
Chipmunk: !

Delphi: What is this stuff?
Blue: I don't know, but I love it!

Blue: Wee! Eeheehee!

Lorelei: Whoa...something is definitely shifting around in there.

Chandra-the-Maid: Lorelei, are you okay?! Is it the baby?!
Lorelei: I think so...do you know where Hinto is?
Chandra-the-Maid: He's still at the theatre!
Lorelei: Craaap...!

Elendil: I heard shouting-! Holy gods, Chandra, what happened?!
Chandra: I think your sister is in labor, Elendil!
Lorlei: Already...?

October: My twin radar was twitching so I rushed over, HOLY CATS! Lorelei, the floor is all wet, did your water break?!
Elendil: CRAP, THAT'S DEFINITELY LABOR, ISN'T IT?
Zoya: I heard shouting-
Lorelei: EXCUSE ME, COULD I GET SOME HELP?!

Zoya: Lorelei, you're in LABOR!
Elendil: We established that, Grandma!
October: Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods-!
Chandra-the-Maid: So am I done for the day, or-

Lorelei: SOMEONE! HOSPITAL!
Elendil: Okay, I'll drive you-
Lorelei: Seriously, Ele, thank you...

Georgia (simmypulsey): Lorelei, are you in labor-?!
Lorelei: Been there, done that, Mom.

It's a girl! Meet Caroline Storms.

After October got home from the hospital, he decided to chillax with his brother in the sauna.

October: It was a beautiful experience, man. The circle of life. I can't wait to have my own kids.
Elendil: Yeah.

Elendil: How are you going to have kids without a partner?
October: I have a partner...she's just not here yet. Besides, you're one to talk. Has Mel written you back yet.
Elendil: ...sh-
October: I know, "Shut up, October. You don't know anything, October."
Elendil: Dude, just go, you're harshing my mellow.

October: Maybe Sailor will write to me instead-

Even if she did, waiting for a hypothetical letter during snowfall in nothing but your long johns is not a good idea, Toby. Why don't you just call Sailor?

October: Hello, Sailor! It's Toby! (...) Toby Storms. (...) October Storms, I used to live in Hidden Springs before my family moved back to Riverview and I was sent to boarding school-

October: I knew you remembered me, why did you lead me on like that?! Anyway, I'm dying to see you, would you like to come to Riverview to see the sights, catch up for a bit?

Hinto adores Caroline.

Hinto: Time for a new diaper, isn't it my love? Hold your breath, Carrie!

Wow, Hinto. Do you want a little more baby with your powder?

Hinto: You're a happy thing, aren't you?

For some reason, it was strange for me seeing Hinto this domestic. Adorable, but strange.

I'm sure we'll both get used to it.

Sailor (simstrology): Mwahahaha, I have finally succeeded in-!
October: Sailor?

Sailor: Oh. Hello, Toby. ♥
October: Hey, beautiful. I'm glad you could come.

October: So here's my surprise for you!

Sailor: You don't waste any time, do you?
October: What are you talking about?! I wasted a whole week without you!

Sailor said yes.

She's so cute. Her crazy curls look so adorable in that hat. I love her to death. It's too bad not a single vote went to Toby in the heir poll. < /3

Sailor: Why would I want to go up in your old treehouse, Toby? It's probably cold up there.
October: A Winter complaining about the cold.
Sailor: A Winter-Storms.

Yes. Good.

Lorelei: *blows raspberries*
Caroline: !!!

Lorelei: I could eat you up, little baby.

D: Please don't.

Well okay then.

Aphpo: This is a human tradition I have learned and adopted as my own.
Zoya: Yes, Aphpo, it's a lot of fun.

Zoya: I see you bought some new clothing too-
Aphpo: I wanted to make my physique more physically appealing to you, do you find them adequate?

Zoya: Oh. Well. Yes, Aphpo, I find them quite adequte-
Aphpo: I am happy to hear it, Zoya Storms.

Zoya: I can't help but notice our snowman is not as green and fun as the one you practiced on earlier.
Aphpo: So this one is not adequate?
Zoya: It's fine, Aphpo. I'm just saying. I prefer thinking outside the box.

I found October and Sailor working out together.

October: You all right there, babe?
Sailor: I'm fine! I just slipped is all.

Sailor: Why did you insist on using that treadmill anyway? Is it less fussy than this one?
October: Nope. Just...enjoying the view.

Hermione: Oh, how I love shoes with feet in them!

Nicolai: You are the most adorable thing ever.

Hermione: Now please tell Howell that I'm your favorite. *purr purr*

With a new foal on the way, it was time to move some of the spares out.

October: Really? That's an excellent price in this market!

Sailor: Goodbye, October's family! It was fun being a part of you briefly!

October: Later Sailor!
Sailor: October, you're coming with me.
October: Oh, right.
Sailor:*sighs* This is going to be a long marriage.

Sailor probably didn't expect her husband's twin to be hanging around their new house all the time.

Elendil: I just don't get it.
Sailor: (...)
Elendil: *sighs*
Sailor: (...)
Elendil: *SIGHS*

Sailor: What, Elendil?
Elendil: Sailor, I don't understand women. Or really, a particular woman-
Sailor: Ele, I am not going to listen to your girl troubles. I think instead you should take a deep, introspective look at yourself-

Elendil: Okay...done! I am handsome, flawless, rich-
October: Oh, hey, Ele. ...What are you doing here?
Sailor: My point exactly.

Elendil: But I've been lonely-

Just go home, Ele, give your brother and his bride they privacy they deserve.

Not that things are much different at home...

Lorelei: ....Hmmm. ♥

*jingles*

Georgia: Do you know where I was?

Where?! :D

Georgia: Space.

Georgia has successfully completed her lifetime wish!

Elendil checked the mail every hour of everyday. Until one day...he got a letter. And his heart sped up when he saw who it was from, poor dear.

Elendil: Imma gonna call her right now.

I bet you are.

Elendil: Melody. Good to hear from you. So...what do you say to meeting me in the lovely country town of Riverview for a date?

Don't play it too cool, boyo.

Elendil: Gods. This better not be a zit on my beautiful face.

It's so nice to see the beautiful Melody Hitch (ohmysims) again.

Melody: Well, I'm here.
Elendil: You are.
Melody: Ele?
Elendil: Yeah?
Melody: Are you going to stare at me or are you going to show me around like you promised?

Elendil: Oh, yes, of course, how silly of me. Staring.
Melody: Hee. Well, we're having a good laugh about it!

Elendil: Are you ready for an adventure?

Ice skating could be an adventure to some...

Elendil: Mel, I think something is wrong!
Melody: I guess "Mr. I can do Anything" can't balance on skates!

Melody: Whoa! ELEEEE!!!
Elendil: Karma.

Things got a little more romantic when they started skating together instead of flailing about by themselves.

Elendil: I love winter, it's so bracing! It makes me feel alive! You look lovely in winter, Mel, your cheeks are so rosy.

Melody: Do they clash with my hair?
Elendil: Not at all.
Melody: Flatterer. No one believes you.

Oops.

Melody: I think I would like to do something less treacherous, Ele.
Elendil: I concur.

Dancing in a dark bar? Ele, you dog.

Elendil: I think my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents met in this bar.
Melody: I bet you say that to all the girls.

Elendil: No...no, Melody Hitch, just you. It's always been just you.

Melody: But...Ele...
Elendil: I know we didn't keep in touch as much as we could have while I was in boarding school, but you still mean a lot to me, Melody. You mean everything.

Melody: Okay, just stop.

Elendil: What?
Melody: I'm sorry, Ele, but this is moving too fast for me.
Elendil: Mel, we dated most of high-school-
Melody: And then we broke up! I'm sorry. I need to process this. Goodnight, El.

Lorelei discovered the new gem cutter in the house.

Lorelei: Wow! A bit loud, but you can't beat this kind of efficiency! I almost looks good enough to eat!

Also, she discovered she was pregnant again! YAY!

Elendil took Melody's rejection hard - he spent the next morning moodily playing the piano into the afternoon.

Zoya: You okay, son?
Elendil: Just fine, Grandma. Juuust fiiiine.
Zoya: I'll take your word for it.

Zoya: Don't go in there, you son is sonating naked.
Nicolai: Not sure what that means, but Carrie and I are content to hang out right here, aren't we precious? Yes we are!

Hinto also, wisely, decided to give Elendil a wide berth. He played ball with Penelope instead. ♥

Surprise Lorelei!

Hinto: Wow. You really know how to make a grown man blush.
Lorelei: Sorry, just feeling amorous.
Hinto: Never apologize for that, beautiful.

Lorelei: It's just I have big news! We're pregnant again-

Hinto: *stunned*
Lorelei: Hinto? You okay?

He rolled for another girl, so I'm sure he's ecstatic.

After her big announcement, Lorelei headed down to the junk yard to pick up scrap. I still haven't gotten an opportunity to make a monster, so she's just climbing the inventor career ladder right now.

Lorelei: And boom goes the dynamite!

She's just so. excited. about dynamite.

Hermione: What are we doing, favorite person?
Lorelei: I just noticed my cat has followed me from home.

Yes, yes she did.

Hermione: Is what your holding some sort of complex cat toy? Because I'm ready for it.

Lorelei: Let me protect us from the sun, new baby!

Because using explosives while pregnant is comparatively safe!

A baby unicorn!

A BABY UNICORN!

A BABY UNICORN!

Guys, it's a baby national animal of Scotland i.e. a unicorn!

Meet Moonlight Legend Storms. Or as we call her around the barn, Usa.

Nicolai: This is the best day ever! Congrats, Delphi!
Delphi: Thanks, Nicki.
Nicolai: Aren't you excited, Delphi-?
Delphi: Just tired, Nicki, I gave birth to a baby unicorn, it's not as magical as it sounds.

It is to me!

I was distracted by Usa's birth and forgot I invited the family over to watch Caroline blow out birthday candles.

So she aged up upstairs in her nursery instead. Oops!

Oh little Caroline, you look so much like your mother. And your father. So adorable. ♥♥♥ Caroline Storms II is a Light Sleeper (just like Carolyn!) and a Loner.

I want to pinch her cheeks all the time, I can't stand it.

Melody came back around, probably after a million or so voicemails from Elendil.

Elednil: Melody Hitch, be still me heart-
Melody: Again with the flirting, El?

Melody: Ele, why did you want me to visit?
Elendil: I-I missed you, Mel. We had all these dreams when we were kids and now that they're happening...I just couldn't imagine them happening without you.
Melody: Oh, El. Do you even have an act?

Elendil: I do! I'm a kiss-o-gram!
Melody: HA! Are you serious?!

Elendil: Up for a kiss, Miss Hitch?
Melody: Hmmm, I don't know...
Usa: Is this a human courting ritual?

Melody: It is, sort of.
Usa: I'm not sure I understand humans-
Melody: I'm not sure humans understand humans.

Melody: I think we can work with this. I might even be able to get you some gigs, maybe we can be cruising in Starlight Shores in a week, on our way to a big concert.
Elendil: That sounds perfect! There's only one thing missing.
Melody: What's that?

Elendil: There's just this one other thing, Mel-

Melody: Are you seriously about to do what I think you're about to do?
Elendil: Yes, I believe I am.

Elendil: Want to get hitched, Miss Hitch?

Melody: Yes, let's go.
Elendil: Go?
Melody: Go. Marriage, viva Las Vegas.

Elendil: As long as I'm with you...anything you want.

Elendil: And now that I've got you inside...eh? Want to get married under a mistletoe?
Melody: You sneaky bugger.

Melody: That sounds pretty romantic actually. My sim goddess loves mistletoe and the holidays.

Hinto: Aw, that's nice.

Elendil: Okay, Mrs. Hitch-Storms. What do you want to do now?

Melody: I'll give you one guess and you have to stop tickling me.
Elendil: No. Foreplay, Mel.

Penelope: Is this a human courting ritual?

I don't know, Penny, I can't remember. ~~I've been married too long.~~

Melody: I like the new sauna.
Elendil: Yeah...it's hot.

Nice. ♥

And after the baby jingles, I moved them next door to Sailor and October. Bring forth the spares, my pretties.

Until next time. ♥

Download the Storms Update: Generation 7 Cousins & a New Page

vayleen — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 01:21:04 GMT

The Generation 7 Cousins are now available for download. Please note that the Storms Cousins are now sitting pretty on their own page because Livejournal thinks the Storms are just too awesome to only be on one. So I did a little rearranging...I hope it's not too confusing, but feel free to ask questions if it is. Thanks to siouxpergirl, mykaa, and tiptoehappiness for making the amazing sims that gave me all this beautiful spawn. ♥

Download the Storms: Cousins Edition

vayleen — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 01:01:25 GMT

Welcome to the download page for the Storms cousins. Livejournal decided that all the Storms on one page was just too awesome, so now they have been separated into Storms Heirs & Spares and Storms Cousins. (If you are looking for Heirs & Spares, let me lead you in the right direction.) Please feel free you refresh yourself on my TOU below, especially because there is a specific rule for Cousin use towards the bottom.

I do not upload .sims3packs because I want to avoid transferring corrupt CC to other games, and I've had my boughts with corrupt CC, so this is just easier on everyone. All sims come in .sim files, so just drop them into your "SavedSims" folder and you're good to go. (Only sometimes my sims don't transfer over with all their traits, so I've listed them for you. ♥) My default eyes are Shady's default Multicolor eyes from MTS. My default skin has changed frequently and I also use a lot of non-default skins, so I'm going to make a list for you:

Default Skins

Generation 1-6 was kanno's default Moonlight skins and faces from GOS.

Generation 7 was Lemonleaf's default B3.0 skin.

Generation 8 onwards is Spiced Cider by neuroticbiotic.

Non-Default Skins

The Freckled skin worn by Generation 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Cousins is jmtmom's non-default Freckenstein skintone from GOS.

Some Generation 4 cousins (children of Elliot, Marzieh, and Gideon) are wearing a non-default version of Peggy's skin from Araenna on GOS.

Some of the children of Cornelia and Aidan Fitzgerald (kittenmittons), under Generation Five Cousins, are using the non-default skin SWV by subaxi.

Some of the children of Sanji and Brooklen Amell (tiptoehappiness), under Generation Seven Cousins, are wearing Lemonleaf's 1.0 Asian skin.

Other CC, like hairs and clothes, are from just about everywhere, so if you want my sims to look exactly like they do in my game, feel free to ask. But first I encourage you to read the comments because more than likely someone asked the same question and I have already answered it. ♥ Here are the links to the blogs that make the sliders I use, but it shouldn't be an issue unless you modify my sims, which is against my TOU.

Sliders:
Jonha ‖ Ahmad ‖ cmar ‖ aWT ‖ Jasumi ‖ Hermi ‖ Heiret ‖ My Blue Book ‖ GnatGoSplat ‖ whiterider ‖ sunhair

Terms of Use: DO NOT upload my sims to any paysites or to the exchange. You can change their hair, eyes, skin, clothes, ages, traits, lifetime wishes, or whatever. But DO NOT change their facial structures. DO NOT claim them as your own. DO credit me if you use my sims for any projects (legacies, breeding, stories, challenges, and the like) by linking back to vayleen or visionofvim. And DO let me know if you use them so I can stalk them. ♥

If you saw a sim in my legacy that isn't here (like a spouse/townie that I spawned), feel free to request him or her. I try and fill all requests.

Specific Rule for Storms Cousins - If you would like to use a Storms cousin for a project, but do not want to use the hyphenated name, please use Storms, and not whatever their second name is so that I, and others, recognize them as my own. (This became a slight issue on tumblr especially.)

Now without further ado, The Storms! And as always, enjoy! ♥♥♥

The Storms Legacy - 9.0

vayleen — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 07:53:37 GMT

((( archive )))((( download )))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, nudity

Last Time: There was an heir poll. October turned his imaginary friend, Ripley, real. Then he met a hot girl named Sailor Winter (simstrology) and they hit it off. Seneca got his girlfriend, Shara, pregnant. She moved in, they aged up together, and then she left him with the baby. Lorelei and her boyfriend, Hinto (randuhh), were sneaking around under Seneca's nose, but they got caught. Luckily, Seneca was able to forgive his friend once they aged up, but in order to do so, Hinto put his relationship with Lorelei on hold while she was underage. Elendil grew closer to his childhood friend, Melody Hitch(ohmysims), and they planned their future together, only to be thrown apart when they actually saw said future in a time machine. Ripley and Zoya's genie, Yakeeb, moved out because they were creepy. >.> Seneca was complaining to Lorelei about his failed love life when a strange woman named Calliope (kittenmittons) jumped out of the time machine. Zoya died, but was saved by Penelope. Nicolai and Georgia (simmypulsey) had a lot of woohoo.

And that's more or less where I left you.

Not long after Lorelei's birthday, Zoya got her first and only letter from the wayward Parker.

Zoya: Well, this puts everyone in a tight spot.

Zoya: Now I need to convince the other two Storms torch-holders in house to do it too...

Nicolai: Do what, Mom?
Zoya: Move.
Nicolai: Again?! Where? Back to Los Aniegos?
Zoya: No, not there, the vampire population has a deeper hold in Los Aniegos than ever. Even with the cure widespread, the society has managed to keep a strong hold on the most influential families.

Zoya: In fact, we should probably avoid big cities altogether.
Nicolai: You are unusually lucid, Mother.
Zoya: I won't be for long once my liver metabolizes this nectar you opened-

Lorelei: Okay, I'm here, what's the "big thing" you guys want to talk about? I already know I won the house-
Nicolai: You should tell her.
Zoya: Why?
Nicolai: Because I'm afraid to.

Lorelei: Daddy, don't be afraid of me, that's silly-
Nicolai: That's not what I meant, I meant the news itself is-
Zoya: He doesn't want to tell you we need to move the legacy again.

Nicolai: See? That's scary news.
Lorelei: What?! Where?? And more importantly, why?! I don't want Hinto to lose track of me once he gets back from wherever he went-
Zoya: All I know is the Storms need to move back home.
Lorelei: But-
Zoya: C'mon, Lori. You must have known on some level already this was going to happen. Parker knew because she's been around the longest, but we all knew.

Lorelei: Okay...I guess I did have a feeling things were going this way since I found out I inherited the house. I guess I would just like to know why.
Nicolai: No one knows why, Lori, that's just the way it is.

Elsewhere in the house, others are less concerned about leaving loved ones behind in Hidden Springs. Because they are all wrapped up in each other, if you know what I mean.

Yes, indeed. Seneca and Calliope (kittenmittons) have worked out their mutual attraction and are elbows deep in...I think I'm going to stop this metaphor now.

Seneca: And you don't have any regrets about not returning to the past?
Calliope: Not a one. I found an even hotter Storms to marry right here.

Calliope: Not to mention I get two Storms in this deal.
Seneca: I knew it. You're in this to raise my adorable, intelligent, terror of a son so that you can take the all the credit when he becomes Leader of the Free World.
Calliope: Well, can you blame me?

Speaking of the future leader of the world; since Seneca isn't the heir, I decided to finally name the little scamp. Meet Jonathan Laroche-Storms.

Jonathan: Hello, adoring fans.

Little scamp.

Seneca: The word of the house is we'll be moving soon, but I'm not sure where-
Calliope: How exciting.
Seneca: Before we pack there's something I want to ask you-

Seneca: Let's get married!

Like Cal would say no to becoming one of the Storms. :3

Zoya took charge of the wee one the next morning.

Zoya: How is Great-Grandma's favorite great-grandson? Everything going in and out and adequately colored?

Jonathan: ...Lady, there is some information you just don't share.

Zoya: Someone thinks he's going to be as smart as his Nana someday, yes he does!
Jonathan: Noooo, why don't I have full range of use of my fingers and thumbs yet?! I can't escape!

Zoya: *snarl snarl snarl gag*
Jonathan: ...Nana?

Seneca: So we're moving.
October: Yep, that's what I heard.
Seneca: And the two of you are going to boarding school.
October: Yep, that's what I hear-wait, what now?

Elendil: To be sent away to boarding school without any choice in the matter!

Sorry, boys, I need the spares out of the house while the heiress gets her heirship going.

Before long, the Storms found themselves back to their roots. They returned to the country town of Riverview where they all began. It's a little different from how they left it - the buildings are different, the people are (slightly) different, but a lot of it is familiar.

When the family moved to Riverview, Seneca tried looking for a performance venue to jump start his career.

Seneca: Hi, I'm interested dazzling people with acrobatic and contortionist feats of glory. Are you interested in that?

Proprietor: Sure. It's not like I'm crawling with gigs anyway.

Seneca must start with miming.

It's so hard not to make a sound, isn't it?

Crowd: What a class A mime!
Lady: You kidding?
Calliope: Seneca? I, uh, brought your son over like you asked-

Seneca: Jon-boy is going to be so inspired by my amazing talent!
Calliope: Your father is a strange man, Jon.

Like Jon-boy has any chance of turning out normal.

Jonathan: *chomp*

Jonathan: I think all the things I love are delicious.

The cats had no trouble finding their favorite spots in the new layer cake house.

Hermione found her favorite chair...

...and Howell found his favorite...toilet.

Zoya had to start the family garden from scratch because of the new house. There were a few seeds laying around the chests in the basement that she was able to use.

Zoya: Let's see what we can do, little seed.

Zoya got a new garden center to help get the plants growing.

Zoya: I have no idea what a dancing sunflower is supposed to do. Or how it's scientifically possible that it can make small, touchable pieces of sunshine for me to grow plants with.

The proof is in the garden, Zoya!

Zoya: Neat!

The horses can also get on the patio now...which is a little weird.

October: Blue, you can't have this hot dog, it's not good for you.
Blue: I'll show you not good for me, if I want to eat a hot dog, I'll eat a hot dog-
October: Seriously, Blue, I can't guarantee what meat goes into hot dogs anyway. I don't want you to accidentally eat a related genus. Heck, I could be eating a related genus-
Blue: (...)

And Kurt-the-Butler (or as I sometimes call him, Kurt-with-a-K) starts raking away the fall leaves after a seemingly eternal summer for the Storms Legacy.

Nicolai is a huge fan of fall, as you can see. You have to be a huge fan if you're going to play in the leaf piles in the front yard in your underwear.

Nicolai: Whee! Look at all the colors!

Nicki, please go do something useful with your time.

There we go. Former heir giving advice to the current heir is a perfect idea.

Nicolai: What's wrong, Lorelei?
Lorelei: Nothing, I'm just confused about the whole legacy thing.
Nicolai: Why? All you need to do is have a couple babies and you're done-

Lorelei: Can they be cats?
Nicolai: No, Lori, they can't be cats.

Lorelei: Okay, fine, no legacy cat children, but I'm not sure what to do about the main thing. My old boyfriend is still in Hidden Springs-

Nicolai: Lori, I think we're getting into territory where you should be talking to your mother.
Lorelei: Some help you are, Dad, Mom is making a one hundred thousand foot jump from space today, she won't have time to help me.
Nicolai: Still, I'm not about to talk about boys with my daughter. Try your grandmother.

Instead, Lorelei got on a motorcycle to register as an Inventor at City Hall.

Lorelei: I'm glad that's taken care of. Now to find some monster making supplies.

First stop: the junkyard.

Lorelei: Old, rusty blood just doesn't smell tasty.

I would imagine not.

Nicolai found one of the new workrooms I built on the roof of cake house and made quick use of it.

Nicolai: ♪ ♫ hum-de-hum-hum / I love carving wood ♪ ♫

Georgia (simmypulsey): I'm back from my space jump and my fun meter is in the red, if you know what I mean.
Nicolai: *sighs* Okay, I know the drill.

A leaf pile? Seems smelly.

Georgia: Who cares?! I've been in space.

Nicolai: But this pile of leaves is in the front yard-
Georgia: Nicki, get in here.

You two kids. Always insatiable.

Somewhere in Riverview, Seneca and Calliope are getting married in front of a cottage they picked out for themselves.

I will miss them so much, but I'm so happy for them! Be good little spares and make babies! :D

And yes, I moved them out this way so I wouldn't see them carry Jonathan out of the house forever. :P

Zoya begins repopulating the small animal menagerie of the Storms house.

Zoya: C'mere, little bird. I have some bird candy at home for you.

Bird: Chirp?
Zoya: That's right. Eat bird candy, and become domesticated if you want to live a full, comfortable life since you can't fly south for winter in this game.
Bird: ...chirp?
Zoya: Just being meta.

Ele and Toby still like to jam.

Howell likes to jam with them. ♥ It's a family band, and it sounds 95% better than most bands, amirite?

Georgia: Are you boys ready for boarding school?
Elendil: As a matter of fact, I'm not looking forward to it at all, thanks for finally asking-
October: I don't think it'll be all bad.

Elendil: So you're totally okay with our sister shipping us off for no reason other than she can?
October: I'm going to a sports academy, you're going to art school, we're going to grow as people.
Elendil: ...you know, we're really not at all alike.

Lorelei: Smoke, smoke, why is there smoke?!*cough cough* It's not daylight!

Lorelei: HELP HELP HELP, I'M A VAMPIRE AND I'M ALLERGIC TO FIRE!

Good thing it's pouring rain outside.

I love the rain. I love how all the birdbaths have water ripples from the raindrops.

Aw. ♥

Nicolai: Hot tub or Mom's bed?
Georgia: What about the time machine? Or the treehouse?
Nicolai: Or the igloo? That would be new-
Georgia: We need snow for an igloo, Nicki.
Nicolai: File that away for later then-

You guys.

All you do is woohoo and think about where you're going to woohoo.

WTF.

Lorelei: This just isn't...satisfying. *sigh*

We'll try and grow you some plasma fruit, sweetie.

October: Wee, I love fall!
Elendil: Dude. The taxis are here.

That's right. Goodbye, my moodiest of twins! I'll see you when you graduate.

Lorelei: Grandma, I think I'll getting the hang of this-!
Zoya: Good for you, dear.

Lorelei: *is zapped* Whoa...
Zoya: Good for you, dear.

Lorelei takes a breather in her new bathroom.

Her heir suite might be one of the best I ever made. I made Zoya's and Nicolai's a bit smaller than they were when I rebuilt cakehouse, but I decided to spoil Lori since she's the current heir.

Lorelei: At least my skin is thicker than a normal human's.

Zoya threw a feast party at the beginning of fall and invited Seneca and his family. She decided the perfect feast party included eggplant and lemon lasagna. Since Curt-the-Chef (or as I like to call him, Curt-with-a-C) is above using the wood stove, she made it herself.

Georgia: We're not going to eat the bird, are we?!

It's not that kind of feast, Georgie.

Penelope: People I love are here! :D

Salad and eggs, thanks for that, guys.

Georgia: It's so nice to have the family over for dinner. Mom, aren't you warm in those clothes?
Zoya: I don't want it to rain indoors.
Lorelei: I can't even taste this food.
Nicolai: Oh man. I know how that went. *omnomnom*

Lorelei: Will it be bad if I ate human food though?
Zoya: Not really.
Nicolai: It's just frustrating, goes right through you. It's not pleasant.

Lorelei: Well...I wouldn't be eating it if I didn't want to hang out with the family. And possibly talk to me older brother who is being lame and not joining us. Boo, Seneca, boo!
Seneca: Shut up, I was taking care of my wife! Cal isn't feeling well, so I set her up in the guest room upstairs.

Lorelei: So...hear from any old friends lately? Old childhood friends? Old childhood friends with brown hair? Old childhood friends with brown hair and amazing muscles-?
Seneca: I get it, Lori.
Lorelei: Sooo...?

Seneca: Hinto and I text sometimes, but he's pretty busy with his new career. He's been traveling around for inspiration, you know.
Lorelei: I know-
Seneca: Why don't you talk to him if you miss him so much?

Lorelei: Well, we haven't really talked since before my birthday...I don't want it to be awkward. I want it to be perfect.
Seneca: Relationships are supposed to be awkward, Lori. That's why the gods have senses of humor.
Lorelei: But I need to talk to him soon! I have to get this legacy going-

Jon: I'll start a legacy with you, babe.
Seneca: There you go, Lori, problem solved.
Lorelei: That's not funny, Seneca.

Who the fuck is Jon? 0.o

Seneca: Go get some real vampire food, Lori, you're acting grumpier and grumpier. Isn't there a full moon tonight?

Lorelei goes out into Riverview to find some "real vampire food".

Lorelei: What is this thing? Why would they put something this goofy in the middle of town?

The world may never know.

Lorelei: I am so hungry for real food...something...O-Positive...or Kell...or a rare type, like Bombay...

Talk about Feast Parties.

Lorelei: Hey there, you handsome, delicious thing!

Dean: *drools*
Lorelei: Don't worry, you'll only feel like you had a stroke or something.

Lorelei: *chomps*

Dean: Aw, that's nice.
Rin: Is he okay?
Lorelei: Probably.
Rin: Ah. Then do you two mind stepping away from the dartboard?

Zoya:

It's just the family museum. The same as it always was.

Zoya: Perfection.

-.- Right.

This is how Penelope treats the family museum. I'm not sure why she had to go to the basement to shake her fur free of water, but she's a dog, so.

The next morning, Lorelei writes a letter to Hinto and hopes in will find him, wherever he is in the world.

Lorelei: I hope he comes...I really, really do.

Soon it's Spooky Day, and the whole family heads for the Riverview Fall Festival.

Psst. Lorelei. Behind you.

Lorelei: Wha-?

I think it's your long-lost boyfriend.

Lorelei: * hurriedly spits out apple* Oh gods, this is embarrassing!

Lorelei: H-hey Hinto.
Hinto (randuhh): Hello, Miss Monster High.
Lorelei: So...um...did you get my letter?
Hinto: You mean your 'invitation'?

Hinto: Yes, I got your letter.
Lorelei: I'm so glad...I hope...
Hinto: You hope what?

Lorelei: How long will you be staying in Riverview?
Hinto: I guess for as long as I'm wanted.
Lorelei: So...forever?
Hinto: *chuckles* That could work.
Lorelei: Are you coming to my costume party tonight? It has a secret theme.
Hinto: Secret theme? How can you have a theme if it's a secret?
Lorelei: It puts the trick in trick-or-treat. So?
Hinto: I'd love to go.

Hinto and Lorelei bound over horseshoes.

Hinto: So underhand?
Lorelei: That's perfect, babe!

Hinto: But I missed!
Lorelei: You'll get the hang of it.

Lorelei: Yippee, I won!
Hinto: I think vampires should be required to use a different throw line, may a few dozen extra feet-
Lorelei: Don't hate on my inhuman hand-eye coordination.

No idea what is going on with this haunted house, but no, vampire-alien doll.

Teen: THIS IS INHUMANE!

Seneca: But how do I catch the apple, it keeps slipping out of my teeth-
Zoya: ooz er awussles.
Seneca: What Grandma?
Nicolai: She said "use your jaw muscles"
Seneca: (...)
Nicolai: Yeah, I don't want to think about it either.

Back at the ranch, Lorelei prepares for her Spooky Day party by making a jack-o-lantern.

Lorelei: You're going to be perfect, little pumpkin. Hehe. Get it? "Purr-fect?"

Oh.

Nice costume, Nicki.

Lorelei: Hinto! How did you figure out my secret disco theme?

Hinto: I have amazing luck like that?
Lorelei: Lucky boy.

Georgia: Aw, look how cute they are, Nicki.
Nicolai: Adorable.

Awkward. You throw a disco party on the roof and your parents hover.

Shake your grove thing, shake your grove thing, yeah yeah.

Zoya: Feeling groovy.

I guess the rest of the party guests didn't want to dance on the roof. XD

Lorelei: So...do you want to check out my amazing new layer cake house suite?

Hinto: Wow, Lori. You have a lot of closet space...

Lorelei: Hinto? Are you in here?

Cal.

Hinto: Oh man, what happened in there?
Lorelei: That was so crazy!
Calliope: I suddenly regret a lot of things about my life-

You better go home.

Next, Lorelei gave Hinto a tour of her bed.

Also, here are the jack-o-lanterns! Zoya made a classic one, Lori made the kitty one. Of course she did. XD

ZO.

ZO GET OUT HERE.

ZO THERE'S A SPACESHIP.

AND AN ALIEN. ZO, THERE'S AN ALIEN.

Aphpo: Greetings. I am Aphpo from omicron persei eight.
Zoya: What a surprisingly pronounceable name.

Zoya: Let me show you pictures of my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren-
Aphpo: Excuse me Matron-
Zoya: ...cats, dogs, horses, genies-
Aphpo: You have a very impressive progeny, Madame.

Zoya: Oh. I get it. You don't want to get to know me. You're just here to pick at my massively superior intelligence. I'll have you know my massively superior intelligence has left me a bit unhinged, thank you very much-
Aphpo: Actually, I am looking for a human mate.

Zoya: No, dude. I'm over one hundred days old-
Aphpo: But that is perfect.
Zoya: No! I'm quite serious about that. I still have a thing for my dead husband.

And then Aphpo did this.

I'm not entirely sure about you, Aphpo.

Nicolai: What a wonderful morning!
Georgia: If you like rain!

Don't you guys own any, you know, clothing? Sheesh.

Nicolai: What was that?!
Georgia: Thunder. There's a thunder storm rolling in.
Nicolai: Gads, that's loud!
Georgia: Do you think your horses are okay?

Delphi: Eep!

Nicolai: Are you doing okay, girl?
Delphi: I'm just frightened, Nicolai.

Nicolai: Don't worry, Delphi. I will be here if you need me, okay?
Delphi: Thank you, Nicki, you are a good friend.

Lorelei: I feel yucky. Where did Hinto go?

Hinto is hanging out with the only two males that live in the Storms residence, sans shirt because he figures that's how Nicolai rolls, so he should do the same.

Hinto: So is this where you guys hang out to get away from the ladies?
Howell: There are ladies? What kind?
Nicolai: Hinto. I need my space to create, man.
Hinto: Oh. Okay, I'll just go find something else to do.

Nicki, Hinto was just trying to bond with you.

He's a sweetheart like that.

Lorelei: This is what I need. Tools and metal and WD40-

Lorelei: OUCH! I just can't concentrate, what's wrong with me?!

Lorelei: I didn't even know vampires could get sick-!

Poor Lorelei.

Lorelei: Hey.
Hinto: What's with the umbrella?
Lorelei: I don't like the sun.

Lorelei: Why are you naked in my hot tub?
Hinto: Just making myself at home.
Lorelei: It's forty degrees.
Hinto: It's invigorating.
Lorelei: Well, if you're going to walk around clothes-less all the time, you might as well live here. You'll fit right in.

Hinto: I can totally deal with that.

Lorelei: *splash*
Hinto: Praise be to the gods.

Hinto.

Hinto: Isn't it a beautiful day, Mrs. Storms?
Zoya: If you like bipolar weather, sure.

Hinto danced all the way down to the theater to jumpstart his music career in Riverview.

All the Single Ladies: *stare*

Step it back, ladies. This boy is taken.

Nicolai: Do you want some carrots, Blue?
Blue: *stares in utter joy*

Blue: *omnomnom*
Nicolai: That's my good girl.

Nicolai: Wait, what?

Nicolai, you've been a master horseman for many, many sim weeks.

Welcome, Hinto. Here is an entire pie.

Hinto: This house is magical. ♥

Lorelei: Oh my...

Hinto: What's up, beautiful?
Lorelei: Hey. I have some news for you. Let's see, how do I word this...

Lorelei: We're going to have a baby, Hinto!

Hinto: That's wonderful!
Lorelei: I'm so excited! You're here, we're having a baby, my family is back to their roots! This legacy can finally continue!

Hinto: Good job fulfilling your destiny.
Lorelei: Thanks, Hinto. ♥

Hinto: What do you think she'll be like?
Lorelei: "She?"
Hinto: Of course. She's a Storms, right?!

Lorelei: So...will you stay, Hinto?

Until next time. ♥

The Moody Legacy - 2.3

vayleen — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 22:53:46 GMT

((( archive )))(((download)))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, seasonal sickness, puppy love, and tragedy

Please forgive my sporadic absences! This computer is on its last legs. ;.; Windows explorer crashes and restarts itself constantly at this point and my RAM is almost always at 35% capacity, so something is really burnt out. (I already tried deleting everything, cleaning the registry, etc. I think it's just gone.) You'll notice the videos in this update have a lag that wasn't there before. The good news is I'm building a new machine next week and I'll do my best to back all my families up! In the meantime, here's a Moody update and you can read about my latest sims project on my simblr.

Last Time: Dean became a child obsessed with the supernatural. He also found he dislikes sports and decided to open a bakery instead. Anakin and Belle had pug puppies named Simon and Kaylee. Sinbad was almost robbed by an amateur car thief and afterwards rolled the wish to retire. Prim became a toddler, but she has the Good trait. (Oh noes!) Flor's career continues to climb while her relationship with Sinbad continues to decline. Veronica still lives in her own little world of gardening, puppies, and hobbies. Goodwin Goode passed away, causing a ripple of animosity in the Moody-Goode relationship - and Dean found out his new friend and baking rival Jamie was a Goode!

And now the rest of the story:

Because of Flor's fame and frequent stage gigs she's gotten a lot of...attention.

Flor: I keep telling you and everyone I am happily married with a baby.

Flor handles the anger from the unwanted attention by practicing sim fu. Looking fierce, babe!

And then...not so fierce.

FLor: Oh, yeah. I'm working it. Look at me.

Is she...is she moonwalking?

Yeah...she's moonwalking. XD Oh Flor, how I adore you. ♥♥♥

And because I know you'd like to experience Flor on stage, here's a video. Sorry again for the lagging. IT WILL SOON NOT BE A PROBLEM!

Dean spends two to three nights a week at the Red Rendezvous while his mother works hard to get a steady gig. He hopes that when Flor finally gets a steady gig it will be on the weekend so he doesn't have to hang out at bars to do his homework anymore.

Dean: I AM THE KING OF RED RENDEZVOUS!

Except...not that kind of red rendezvous. Kids don't even know what they're saying.

Adelaide (kittenmittons): ♪ ♫ They say our love won't pay the rent / Before it's earned, our money's all been spent ♪ ♫
Clara: :D

Mixologist: These are on the house, Miss Blossom. ♥
Flor: Thank you-
Mixologist: By the way, if you're not doing anything later-
Flor: I'm here with my husband and oldest child!

Lu: Aren't free cheese steaks from the bar delicious, Dean?
Dean: Dad, did you know I've never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in my life? I bet peanut butter is heavenly...

I separated Veronica's huge garden into an orchid and a separate garden with the new SwiftGro Gardening Station from the store.

She loves to dress up for her evening gardening. And she loves to kick back with the sunflowers afterwards.

The sunshine from the flowers is so fun and pretty, and it makes the best fertilizer. ♥

After another long night singing, Flor comes home to cuddle with Prim for awhile. I imagine she sings her lullabies.

Flor: ♪ ♫ Why do birds suddenly appear / every time you are near ♪ ♫

In the other room, Lu is reading Dean to sleep.

Lu: The cats nestle close to their kittens. The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear. Please go the f-
Dean: I think it's better with SLJ reads it, Dad.
Lu: You are far from alone with that opinion, son.

Lu: Have sweet dreams, son.

Ugh, Lu. :(

Lu: Is she asleep?
Flor: Yeah, finally. Poor thing is feeling a little collicy. You're looking a little pale too, Lu.
Lu: I'm fine-

Sinbad: Let me interrupt you there, mate. You've been sneezing all over the house and I'm worried about the kids getting sick.
Lu: I'm fine, Dad-
Sinbad: And I think you should stay at the firestation until you get over this bug-

Lu: I am not going to spend two days away from my daughter when she's growing up so fast!
Sinbad: Then you're being selfish-!

Flor: Dad, this is none of your business! Now you would please leave the nursery?! You're going to wake up Prim!

Sinbad: I most certainly will not, this is my house!
Flor: It's my house now, Dad, get that through your head. Lu, you don't have to go anywhere-
Sinbad: Hey-
Flor: -but if it starts getting worse, can you make an appointment at the hospital clinic?
Lu: It's not going to get worse, Flor, it's just a cold.

And then there were puppies. The cutest pug puppies in the wooorld... ♥

Dean: Looks like you need a brushing, Ms. Bell.

Dean is finally getting along with the dogs.

Seapking of, it's Leia's (ufailedatlife) birthday!

Leia: ?

It's so heartbreaking to see one of the Moody pugs old and gray! < /3

Veronica: You'll never take me alive, AL Capone!

Veronica: THIS IS NOT HOW WE DO IT IN THE FAMILY!

Veronica's episode was interrupted by strange and unusual sounds. She went outside and found an alien woman studying the tiberium in the garden.

Veronica: Who are you?
Alien: Oh, uh...I'm with the, uh...agriculture club.
Veronica: It's one in the morning.
~~Alien~~ Agriculturist: I'm in the nocturnal plant division.

Veronica: Well it's nice to meet you, Miss Plant Lady, but I don't have any nocturnal plants.
Agriculturist: Sorry, madame, my mistake.
Veronica: Can I interest you in any of my other gardening endeavors since you're here? I've successfully grown twenty-four perfect genera of fruits and vegetables with different species and I'm currently perfectly three different species of tree-

Agriculturist: I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm not really from the agriculture club. I'm an alien from another planet examining the rocks in your garden. This particular gem is a rare sample from the Regulus system, did you know that?
Veronica: No, I did not know that. Well...carry on then.

Just don't steal it, lady. :P

Dean caught the cold going around, so he spent the first part of Leisure Day holed up in his room watching TV.

Sinbad also caught the cold, and he is not happy about it. He spent the first part of Leisure Day rocking in the nursery next to his granddaughter.

Sinbad: I knew I should have booted him out.

To protect the kids, right? Then why are you in the nursery?

Flor: I love Leisure Day.

The entire town of Twinbrook loves Leisure Day. It was a 'colder' one, about 70°F. To me, that would be pretty hot, but it's gotten as hot as 96°F in Twinbrook and they just seem to shrug it off. XD

Rafiki (thecanterburys) was there, obviously pregnant again. :3

Lu: CANNONBALL!

I have never, ever seen so many townies at the pool until the Seasons EP.

Isn't this romantic? ♥♥♥

Sinbad: You certainly look lovely in your fine dress, Ronnie.
Veronica: You're too much, Mr. Rotter.
Sinbad: That's Moody to you, love.

Veronica: I sure am glad you propositioned me for intercourse when you moved into my shack all those weeks ago. Are you going to do it again?
Sinbad: What?
Veronica: Proposition me?

Veronica: OUCH!
Sinbad: Confound woman, you distracted me!
Veronica: I was trying to flirt with you!

Sinbad: You've always had a very strange way of flirting with me, my dear. Are you all right?
Veronica: I'm fine. Let's go make out behind the cake.

Oh yeah, there's cake. It's also Dean's birthday today.

Dean: Why are you wearing flippers on a slippery slide?
Gavin: Why aren't you?

Happy Birthday, Dean! ♥

OMG, you adorable little nerd. ♥

Here is the current legacy card of one Dean Moody. He rolled Shy as his fourth trait, giving him a combination of traits I'm already in love with.

Flor: Mom, why are you swimming in your new winter coat?
Veronica: I need to make sure it's working, daughter dear.

Gavin: Grandma, you're a real kook.

Veronica: What a rude thing to say! Don't you think that's rude?? That's was rude! NOBODY ASKED YOU!

Thaddeus: Take that, Moody!
Dean: Ugh! Thad, I don't like this game!

Dean prefers to hang out with his sister's babysitter, Araceli.

Dean: Hooray, I win!
Araceli: I only lost because it's too hot out here.
Dean: I'll go get us some snow cones, wait here.

Dean: Oh! Hey, Jamie, I thought your parents wouldn't let you come to my birthday party.

Jamie: Everyone is pretty distracted with the Leisure Day activities so I snuck out for a minute. I'll catch up with them at the park later.

Jamie: Anyway, Happy Birthday, BFF!
Dean: Thanks, Jamie-!
Flor: BOO!
Dean: ...really mature, Mom.

Mac: Don't fall in love with a Goode person, Dean!
Jamie: "Good person?" Is your uncle okay?
Dean: He's fine.
Jamie: He's swimming in all his clothes.
Dean: It's fine, he does that all the time.

Jamie: So what's up? Wanna swim?
Dean: Sure! But first I told Araceli I'd get her a snow cone.
Jamie: Araceli, huh? Oolala, Dean!
Dean: Gimme a break, Jamie.

Mac: There are sharks here. Tiny, tiny sharks.
Valarie: Is he okay?
Araceli: No idea.

Araceli: Do you think he likes me?
Jamie: Girl! I don't know, just ask him out! I don't even look at Dean that way!

Dean is Absent-Minded, and probably wouldn't have noticed Araceli likes him on his own, but did have a conversation with her over what was important.

Dean: I think unicorns are so beautiful. I would love to discover one, wouldn't you? There's a whole undiscovered world out there.

What's important to Dean anyway.

Araceli: I really like the movie Ferngully with all the fairies!

Well, it's up to you, Dean.

Flor: WHOA! This is not as easy as it looks!

The Moodys left the pool around sunset in order to catch the fireworks at the Leisure Day festival.

Veronica: Thank you for your help, Miss Roller Skates.
Townie Girl: That's not my name, Mrs. Moody.
Veronica: Nobody knows your name, sweetie.
Townie Girl: :(

Dean: Since we're both here, do you want to hang out together?
Araceli: I'd love to spend time with you, Dean. ♥
Dean: Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

Jamie: Oh my gosh, there's a starving baby here! Who's baby?!
Flor: You know that's Prim, Jamie, and she's not starving, she's just fussy.
Prim: Booger!

Becky: Jamie, don't touch that baby you don't know where it's been.
Flor: Not funny, Becky!
Becky: Who's being funny?
Jamie: Mom, not here, you're embarrassing me!
Becky: You should listen to your mother, Jamie. Your grandmother never steered me wrong.

Meanwhile...
Clara: You're going down, Moody.
Veronica: We'll see about that!

Veronica: Hit me with your best shot!

Clara: Take this!
Veronica: HO!

Araceli: Can someone please shut up that dumb baby?!
Dean: Wut? Araceli, you're her babysitter!
Lu: Hi, I'd like to buy all your fireworks, thank you.

Flor: This is going to be awesome!
Dean: I know, right?!

Jamie: I'm so excited!
Rex: Hey, what's with the baby-?
Jamie: Oh, that's just my brother. We couldn't get a babysitter because everyone is here.
Rex: He looks upset-
Jamie: Naw, he's just tired.

FIREWORKS!
(You might need to hover to get them to animate.)

Flor: Happy Leisure Day!

Dean: It was a seriously awesome summer.

Araceli followed Dean home.

Araceli: You sure are good with her. ♥
Dean: Well, she is my baby sister.

Araceli: I'm sorry about what I said earlier.
Dean: It's okay. Say, Araceli...there's a dance coming up. Do you...do you want to go?

Araceli: I'm so happy you finally asked me out, Dean!
Dean: I just had my birthday today!
Araceli: Hours ago!

Veronica: I got what you wanted, Lady! Now stop trying to eat the paper girl!

Lady: :D!

I have no idea how Veronica changed her clothes like that. >.<

Flor: Here comes the DRAGON MAN!
Prim: Save me, Jeremy Renner!

Flor: Ooh, he's going to gobble you up!

Lu fights a lot of fires in the pouring rain. Those fires must be hot.

Afterwards, the woman who owned the home said if she could do anything for Lu, just ask. So helped himself to some juice, because he was starving, and she said "Not in my house you don't" So he went home.

Lu: Must be the full moon.

Happy Birthday, Prim! A birthday on a full moon is good luck!

Prim: All those spinning sparkles made me a little dizzy.

Prim Moody as a child. I love her so much already. :3 She rolled Unlucky for her third trait. To which I say BOO! because it doesn't add a lot to her personality but at least I know she could go through a horrific accidental death and Grim won't steal her.

Flor: Lu! How was your jog?
Lu: Uneventful for a full moon. What's up with you?
Flor: I've been thinking...
Lu: What is it, Flor?
Flor: It's just...Prim is growing up and I miss having a little one to take care of. What do think...what do you think about having another baby?

Lu: Is that what you really want?
Flor: Yes! I mean...if that's what you want.
Lu: I'd love another child with you, Flor.

Flor: So we're doing this?
Lu: Yeah. We're doing this.

Even though the methods Flor used to steal Lu away from Becky Goode in high-school weren't exactly moral, he is the only man she has ever loved. No one has turned her head.

Elsewhere Dean has convinced his new girlfriend to wade out to the middle of the swamp with him on the full moon.

Dean: I heard that someone saw a unicorn out here!
Araceli: Oh, Dean-
Dean: No really! I know it's hard to believe, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it was true?

Araceli: Dean, I really wish you wouldn't get your hopes up for these...fantasies-
Dean: "Fantasies-?!"
Araceli: Anyway, it's wet out here and the swamp is full of mosquitoes. Can we go do something else? Maybe watch NCIS back at your place?

Dean: Well...I kinda want to stay here and see a unicorn...
Araceli: I think I'm going to head out, okay? I'll see you at school tomorrow.

Dean: ...Later, Araceli.

The poor thing really, really wanted to see a unicorn. :(

Meanwhile, the pea pod plant is killing zombie paparazzi.

Prim: Dad, when can I sleep in my own bed?
Lu: After the zombie leaves, sweetie.
Prim: Daddy, why is the full moon blindingly bright?
Lu: We don't ask those questions, Prim.

(Because those questions are up to me and they cause me to look for mods like this one.)

You're up early, Flor.

Flor: These pancakes are not sitting well with me.

IT'S GOOD VERSUS EVIL!

Sinbad: I never want another phone call from you professor again, young lady!
Prim: Graddad, she only called to thank me for cleaning the bug cage-!
Sinbad: Exactly! We only accept anti-authority attitudes in this household! It's bad enough your father is a civil servant!

The Moodys were very excited about Han's birthday, the first official Moody pug!

Flor: Thanks for coming out in the pouring rain to watch me perform tonight! You guys must really be obsessed!
Adelaide: I'd throw food at you, but I'm too hungry!
Flor: Shoudn't you be fighting fires or something?!

The next thing I know, Flor is air guitaring in this really fancy red dress.

Flor: Okay, guys, that's it! I'll see you at my next gig. Seriously. There is no more.
Crowd: NO WAY!
Mac: SING YELLOW SUBMARINE!
Flor: GO. HOME!

Apparently Flor's wardrobe change is due to her pregnancy. But she didn't have a pregnant moodlet, so I didn't know. It was only when I tried to end her show did I discover that a pregnant sim could not preform that action. :P Talk about glitches.

Jamie: Araceli can't stop talking you up around campus, Dean.
Dean: Really?! I mean...we've only been dating for a short while and half the time I'm not sure she's into me-
Prim: Sob stories, wah.

Jamie: Really? Why is that?
Dean: Well...she doesn't seem to be into the supernatural. Not like she seemed when we first started hanging out. I don't know. She's still really nice and really pretty-
Jamie: Don't worry about it, D, you shouldn't have to change for a girl.

Flor: Don't look at me, I'm hideous!

I had to reset Flor. She was not happy.

And then I gave her the pregnant moodlet to fix her pregnancy glitch.

Flor: Okay, here's the thing. I'm really wet and grumpy, but I found out we're pregnant and I'm ecstatic about that. I may not look it, but I am.

Lu: C'mere baby. I'm so happy for us. Let me run you a bath, okay?
Flor: Okay. :)
Lu: Okay. ♥

Prim's nursery is now a little girl's room.

Prim (deep voice): Super Woman! W-what are you doing here? It isn't what it looks like!
Prim (super voice): JUSTICE, EVIL DOER!

Prim (super voice): Take that!
Prim (deep voice): Noooo!

Jamie: A crime show marathon in the morning, who does that?!
Prim: What's wrong with that?
Jamie: It's a little macabre for the morning.

Prim: It'll wake you up better than coffee, right?
Jamie: I guess so.
Prim: Yeah, it does.

Prim really admires Jamie. Every time Jamie is over visiting Dean, she rolls wishes to hang out and be friends.

Dean: News says it's going to be cold today.
Jamie: Really?
Dean: Yep. The leaves are already turning.

Jamie: It's a good thing I brought warmer clothes.

Fall has come to Twinbrook.

Sinbad's new favorite thing is raking leaves. He kept at it until he had the perfect pile.

Wait...Sinbad, what are you doing?! That looks dangerous!

Sinbad: Mwahahahaha! Just what I planned!

You're a psychopath, Sinbad.

Simon: *sniff sniff*
Anakin: You're so small!

So small and cute. Kaylee is still my favorite.

Lu: Go long, Babe!
Flor: Are you sure this is a good idea??
Lu: What could happen?!

Let's not lob baseballs at your pregnant wife, Lu.

Lu: Dean! Where are you, son?! There's a pretty girl out here waiting for you!

Dean: It's all right, Dean. Just...play it cool. And be yourself. Because being yourself is cool...yeah.

♥

Dean: Hi, Araceli! You look beautiful. Um...these are for you!

Araceli: Dean, you're so sweet! These are perfect!

Prom was wonderful for the little lovebirds. No one I know was prom king or queen, but Araceli and Dean stole a lot of kisses and danced the night away.

Veronica: Tweet, tweet little birdy. Tweet, tweet! I can sing in your language.
Birdy: ♥!!!

Prim: Whee!

Prim, you adorable thing! Thank you for kicking those over before your grandfather can set them on fire.

Playing in leaves makes a child dirty.

Prim: Captain Ramius, now is not the time for books and tea!

Prim: AW, TORPEDO!

Nooo, not the puppies, I love having puppies. ;.;

Though Kaylee makes a pretty cute pug. ♥

So does Simon.

Lu: How you doing this morning?
Flor: Bleh.
Lu: Aw, baby.
Flor: It's just the perils of a third trimester, Lu.
Lu: Why don't I drop you off at the spa on the way to the station this afternoon?
Flor: Oh baby...that sounds perfect.

Which means these old love birds have the house to themselves? Does that mean love and romance? Well...not all the time.

Sinbad: Got my twenty?
Veronica: Twenty, thirty, thiry-three-
Sinbad: Thanks, dear.
Veronica: Thank you for playing my favorite video game with me. ♥

Sinbad: Yes...I find it enthralling.
Veronica: Aw, the mushroom people stole my battleship!
Sinbad: Oh no! Let's, uh...what do we do to mushroom people again?
Veronica: Kill them with kindness.
Sinbad: Ugh. I mean...yay. Let us kind up some mushrooms.
Veronica: Okay. I'm going to take a break for a minute.
Sinbad: All right, I'll go get us some water.

Veronica: This is unexpected.

Not my Veronica! Whhhy?

Grim Reaper: This is a little girl's room! I'm supposed to be picking up an old lady!

Veronica: Please don't take me, Grim! I have so much to live for! My children! My little limes, and pomegranates, and grape children!

Grim Reaper: You're crazy, lady. Get in that coffin.

I almost deleted Grim when I saw the look on Veronica's face.

Sinbad was absolutely devastated.

Rest in peace, my beloved Veronica Moody. You were an amazingly fun legacy founder. I will miss you deeply. ♥

The Moody Legacy - 2.2

vayleen — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 03:24:53 GMT

((( archive )))(((download)))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, cartoonish violence, new expansion pack fun

Hooray, Moodys! As the Storms wind down, I get excited for the Moodys so I hope you are too. Also, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans. I hope you got to eat turkey and pie and had a nice nap and talked about what you're thankful for or whatever.

Last Time: Dean aged up into a persnickety toddler. Rex and Wiggley got married and moved out. Naka and Umi had a falling out over the Rafiki Canterbury (thecanterburys) situation. Then they aged up and Naka moved out with Rafiki and one of the pugs, Padme. Veronica's garden really started kicking ass with thriving life fruit and flame fruit. Then she aged to an Elder. Flor's singing career started to take off too, but it was put on hold so she and Lu Yuan could finally get married. Umi met Adelaide St. Clair (kittenmittons), and they fell maddly and love and ran off together. (Umi took Jaina with him because every Moody gets a pug.) Flor and Lu honeymooned in Al Simhara, and Flor came home pregnant. She had a get together with all the other pregnant ladies in Twinbrook and had a fight with Becky Goode and Lu's sister, Ziyi Yuan. Then she had a daughter named Prim...and that's more or less it, right?

Right.

Onwards!

The dogs like to run in the sprinklers, make puddles, roll in the puddles, shake off the water and make more puddles, rinse, repeat, etc. Basically, they love being wet.

Bella illustrates this cycle well.

Flor: Ew, the dog is wet again!
Veronica: Ew!

I only wish the Moodys didn't stop whatever they were doing every time there was a wet dog. :P

Veronica: Pancakes! Buttermilk! Sourdough! Blueberry!
Flor: Mom, what are you doing-?
Veronica: Chocolate Chip! Oatmeal! Fire Fruit!
Lu: She's exclaiming over all her favorite things about pancakes.
Veronica: DUTCH BABY!

Veronica: By the way, how do you eat pancakes with chopsticks?
Lu: Easily.

Flor: Momma's sweet baby.
Dean: *kisses*
Flor: Thank you, dearest!

Oh my gawd, I have cavities!

Lu: I wasn't racing! This isn't a race!
Flor: Too bad, I got here first!
Lu: Stop annexing all our children's attention!

Flor: Silly Daddy and his seven dollar words! Isn't Daddy silly, Prim?
Prim: :DD!!

Maid: Yay for the little boy!
Flor: Act more excited or you're fired!
Maid: YAY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY FOR SOMEONE!
Flor: Now you're overselling it.

Happy Birthday, Dean!

*sparkles*

You adorable little cross-eyed pixelated nerd. ♥

Here's Dean Moody looking more like Harry Potter than he did on his last birthday. If you don't remember that reference, I said Dean and Harry have a lot in common because they both look exactly like their fathers, with their mothers' green eyes. Dean also happens to be a huge HP fan because he rolled Supernatural Fan for his third trait, and that means he's totally into wizardry and such.

Such a nerd though - even the dogs get the best of him!

Anakin: Play! Play!
Dean: *oof*
Anakin: ...play?

Dean: I think I sprained my coccyx!

Anakin: We're having fun, right?!
Dean: Dumb dog.
Anakin: FUN! RIGHT?!

I bought Veronica some bees for her gardening, and instead of a wearing the appropriate netting and protective gear, she takes care of them in her inappropriately skimpy hot pink string bikini. Logic.

Anakin and Bella?

Dean: Are you under there, monsters? I'm not sleeping in this bed if you're under there.

Monsters: In that case, no.

Dean:

Flor: Sure, I'll read you this book of ancient Egyptian mythology, but should you really be sleeping in your grandparent's bed? What's wrong with your room?
Dean: It's monster infested.
Flor: But where will your Grandma and Grandpa sleep?

Sinbad was at work, but Veronica was forced to sleep on the couch. I know she does it out of love, but poor Ronnie. I think the next book we should read, Dean, is I Need My Monster. I don't think you understand the Monster-Kid relationship very well.

Sinbad decided to indulge himself when he got home from stealing things.

Sinbad: I'll take strawberry, oh strange, sentient ice cream truck!

Twinbrook's greatest thief has a sweet tooth for strawberry soft serve with sprinkles.

Sinbad: This is just the sort of thing that makes a man appreciate the little things in life.

Burglar: *sneak sneak* *sneak sneak*

Sinbad: You're joking.
Burglar: *sneak sneak sneak*

Burglar: That was such an amazing seminar in the warehouse today. The greatest carjacker in the world was so inspiring. I just want to steal all the cars!

Sinbad: That was me, son. I was that bloke giving the seminar.
Burglar: Oh snap.
Cop: *gasp* A burglar!
Sinbad: Seriously?

The policeman still won the brawl.

Cop: And let that me a lesson to you for bothering the tax-paying citizens of Twinbrook!
Burglar: Officer, that man is a famous criminal!
Sinbad: Shame on you, son! The first rule of the warehouse is you don't talk about the warehouse.

Lu: Go long, Dean!
Dean: Dad, what does that mean?! I've never played this before!

Dean: *bonk* Ouch!
Lu: Dean? You okay?

Dean: I don't think sports are for me, Dad.
Lu: You haven't even thrown the ball yet.
Dean: It's heavy.
Lu: (...) Well, what do you want to do instead?

Dean: ♪ ♫ dee dum de dum dum da ♪ ♫

Baking, huh?

Dean: *cough cough* Hopefully the customers like their muffins a little smokey...

Sinbad: Anything interesting in the news today?
Dean: Chocolate prices are way up, but vanilla is crashing. Fruits are always in demand.
Sinbad: (...) Is that a fact?

Wow, Dean, that is quite a spread! If only I could reach through the screen and buy a brownie like that.

Dean: I better taste them to make sure I got rid of that smokey flavor.

Flor continues to amaze.

Flor: I wonder if I'll ever get out of this town...

Flor: Thank you, Red Rendezvous, you've been amazing! One day I'll make it to a real stage!

Poor Flor is restless. She knows she's good and she wants to perform for the A-list at red carpet theatres. Unfortunately, agents don't go all the way out to middle-of-nowhere Twinbrook. And Flor isn't comfortable moving her elderly parents from their home. It would break Veronica's heart to leave her garden.

Sinbad has been leaning a bit more on his cane lately. He realized he had an important decision to make.

Sinbad: That's correct, Henry. I won't be coming by to the warehouse anymore. I've stolen so much, I can retire on it. Also my wife is selling apples or something so I believe we'll be right enough.

Don't forget your daughter, Sinbad, she brings home her share of the bacon too!

Sinbad: Singing isn't a real job.

Neither is stealing...

Sinbad: Then were did all this retirement confetti come from if I didn't have a real job?

Happy Birthday pretty Prim!

Prim is basically a female version of Dean, but that's okay because she's adorable. She was born with the Good and Disciplined traits, which is an interesting combination. Hopefully Sinbad won't find out one of his grandchildren is Good.

Prim: This looks tasty.

Prim: It is tasty! But what does a lady have to do to get a spoon around here?

Dean spent the next afternoon pushing baked goods on his neighbors.

Dean: May I recommend the chocolate cupcakes, sir? I use an especially rare imported chocolate-
Customer: Technically all chocolate is rare and imported because of the union thing-
Dean: All the more reason to indulge yourself, sir!

Customer: Well...they do look good.
Dean: Indeed!
Other Customer: Would you mind?! The smell is driving me mad!

Dean: D-d-did I just hear something howl?

Prim: Pattycake!
Sinbad: No, Prim darling, Grandpa wants you to say 'nuclear war'. Careful, the first syllable is tricky-
Prim: Happy!

Sinbad: You're a cheerful child, aren't you?
Prim: Grandpa silly!
Sinbad: *sigh*

The moonlight has some strange ambiance during Flor's outdoor gigs.

Flor: ♪ ♫ Blinded by the light- ♪ ♫ Isn't this moonight bright?! I'm just saying! I don't even need spotlights!

Wow, when the Moodys say "It must be the full moon!" they mean it! Bella went into labor that night!

FOUR PUPPIES!

favoritepuppygif.gif!

Only two were pugs though, so technically TWO puppies, but still. Go Bella.

Veronica: This isn't my house. Where am I?! What's with all the windows?! WHY, WINDOWS, WHY?

Because Veronica is Insane, she had a strange Lunacy moodlet all night making her do weird things. Like vomit, or laugh inappropriately, or slap people, or break into Mac and Henry's (mayberries) house to see the toddler they adopted named Gavin.

Veronica: That's weird, you have my husband's eyes! I thought Goodwin was the only one with illegitimate children...

I cheated so Gavin would have some genetic similarities to Mac & Henry. :3

Sinbad: Whoops, I pinched your candy! Now you're going to cry about it, aren't you duckling?

Prim: Haha! Grandpa is so funny!
Sinbad: Why are you so happy?! How will I raise you to be Evil if you're happy all the time?

(Psst. Don't tell him it's too late.)

Flor: ...and these are the fireworks that I occasionally use for my show. But not really.

Goodwin: When my family bought the Red Rendezvous and I became the proprietor, I promised myself I would only book quality, wholesome entertainment. And you've got what it takes, Cherry Blossom!
Flor: Yep. Not affiliated with the Moodys at all.
Goodwin: Lucky for us!

Goodwin is getting a bit dim in his old age.

Flor: Just let me call my agent, okay Mr. Goode?

Flor: Barry! Barry Ex-nay on the ack-bay ail-may! I'm in!
Goodwin: Wow, Cherry Blossom speaks Italian! How cultured!

I'd bet you're eager to meet the two pug puppies the Moodys decided to keep. This is Simon and Kaylee. Kaylee, on the left, is my favorite.

But Simon reminds me a lot of Han with the way he plays with his mouth open all the time.

Kaylee though. Kaylee gets so excited about all the things. When Flor came home, Kaylee ran to greet her and then ran and ran in circles around Flor's legs in excitement!

(Ugh, I used the in-game camera instead of Frapps for this video so it's not a very nice quality. And it doesn't have sound. Annoying.)

Oh, Prim. Why are you so pleasant? ♥

Flor: Time for your nap, Prim!
Prim: Okay, Mommy!

Not at all like your bother, are you Prim?

Flor: You're so sexy in that uniform, Lu!
Lu: Why, thank you!
Sinbad: Flor love, may I talk to you for a minute?

Sinbad: I'm starting to suspect something about that daughter of yours, Flor. She's just too happy and sweet all the time! I swear, if you had a Good child-

Flor: Dad, I don't care if she's Good or Evil! And neither should you! Prim is my daughter and your granddaughter and she's perfect the way she is! As long as she stays beautiful!
Sinbad: You can't talk to me that way-!
Flor: I'll talk to you however I want! This is my house now! In fact, the only reason I'm staying in this town is for you and Mom! I'd rather live on a tropical island in a big city where I'd get real audiences!

Veronica: For dear, your father means well. He just wants a family he can relate to, like we all do-
Flor: Mom, do not defend him!

Flor: He knows that people who are Good don't always have the best intentions, just like people who are Evil don't always have the worst. So whether or not Prim is Good or Evil has nothing to do with the type of person she'd be.
Veronica: I don't know why I try and talk, all the words become pretzels.
Flor: *sigh* Mom...I know it's hard for you to keep clarity. Why don't you go do something else for awhile? I promise not to fight with Dad again tonight.

Veronica: Hello, little yellow baby. Want to dance like a horse with me?

Veronica: GANGNAM STYLE! Whoop, whoop!

Dean: Maybe if I wave my hand over it, it will magically be done.

Anakin and his hot dog.

Anakin: omnomnomnom!

Anakin: More nom-noms?

Dean: What hempen home-spuns have we swaggering here, so near the cradle of the fairy queen?

Dean: I want to meet a real fairy queen...

Prim: Someone hold me!

Prim: YAY!
Lu: It doesn't take much to make you happy, does it Princess?

After I installed Seasons, Twinbrook Town Center reset to EA's default layout rather than the beautiful version I downloaded ages ago. I don't like it, but I'm looking forward to festivals.

Looks like there's some competition in the park, Dean.

Jamie: Ah, so sweet.

Dean: Not bad, not bad. Of course...I can make perfect cupcakes, did you know? In fact I can make most of these things-
Jamie: Really? That's sooo interesting.

Dean: Wait! What's that?!
Jamie: Vanilla cake. It's a miniature version of the birthday cakes you can get at the grocery store!

Jamie: And it can be all yours for five simoleons.
Dean: Tempting. Very tempting. It'd be a good business strategy to try another baker's wares.

Dean: *sigh* It's delicious. Dammit.

It looks delicious.

After cake, Dean decided to chat Jamie up. You know. Keep your friends close and your potential business rivals closer.

Dean: Earlier today I pretended I met Tatania. I hope someday I meet a real fairy queen. Do you believe in fairies?

Jamie: I like to keep a open mind. I heard a rumor that a unicorn sometimes wanders the fishing holes around Twinbrook!
Dean: Oh my stars! I'd love to meet a unicorn too!

Jamie: Too bad there's no proof that they're real.
Dean: (...)
Jamie: And it'd be kinda silly waiting for some supernatural creature to just appear when it's not even fact that they're real-
Dean: Is that right? Do you know what else is kinda silly?

Dean: PEOPLE WITHOUT IMAGINATION! TAKE THAT, UNBELIEVER!
Jamie: HEY! Not cool!

Lu: Here you go, pretty Prim!
Prim: My favorite?!

Prim: Ew. There are raisins in this oatmeals.

A girl after my own heart. ♥

Prim: I banish you, raisins!

You tell them, Prim! Four for you, Prim!

Lu: Heh. You're just Daddy's little terror, aren't you?
Prim: Daddy terror! ♥

Veronica: I am compelled to put the random rocks my dog dug up into this contraption.

Veronica: Amazing! Look at that! And there's no discernible energy source! Must be tiny ant people in there working this thing.

Lu: Dearest Mom-in-Law, please tell your tiny ant people to keep it down. It's four am.
Veronica: Lu, look at the shiny!
Lu: Yes, it's very nice. I'm going back to bed now.

Flor: Looking good, sexy. In fact, I'd rate you 10 out of 10!
Lu: Would you now?
Flor: Certainly.
Lu: Well, if you don't mind me saying so Mrs. Moody, I'd rank you the same. 12 even.
Maid: Agreed all around. Let me know if you two ever want...company.

Lu: Er...
Flor: Ignore her. I'll enjoy firing her next time I need to throw a Diva tantrum.

Lu got an emergency call and rushed down to the burning house. It turned out to be none other than the home of the highly influential Goode family.

Goodwin: My home...my family's home...we worked so hard to get this beautiful house and now it's burning down...
Lu: Don't worry, Mr. Goode! I'll save this house! I know what it means to you!

Lu worked long and hard to save the Goode house. He did live there, once upon a time. And even though he still had mixed feelings about the Goodes, especially Becky, he owed them a lot for bringing his life to where it was.

Poor Goodwin couldn't take the stress.

Goodwin: It looks like this is it for me, Yeller. When you see Clara tell her...she meant the world to me.
Yeller-the-Dog: :(

Clara: (...)
Sinbad: Is there something I can do for you, Clara?
Clara: My husband died yesterday. I didn't see you or Veronica at the wake.
Sinbad: We weren't invited. And I don't believe Goodwin would have appreciated my presence, considering our history.

Clara: If you ask me, he would have wanted you there. Because of your history.
Damion: Are you ready, Mom?
Clara: For what?
Damion: The hot dog eating contest!
Rafiki (thecanterburys): Oh, is that what this is??

Sinbad: How about we dedicate this hot dog eating contest to your late husband, Clara?
Clara: Inappropriate!
Sinbad: You don't know how wrong you are...

A phone call, Sinbad? Really?

Sinbad: I can't talk now, I'm in the middle of a hot dog eating contest dedicated to my late rival.

Veronica: Six by four! Nailed to the floor! GOAL!
Mauricio: Dad would have loved this park...

Dean ran into Jamie and they immediately started throwing water balloons at each other.

Jamie: This time you will feel the wrath of my ninja like throwing reflexes!
Dean: If anyone is a ninja here, it's me!

Lu tried out the skating rink.

Lu: I think I'm getting the hang of it!
Naka: Oh gods, it's like my legs are made of marbles!

There were a lot of Moodys at the park that evening. ♥

Damion won the hot dog eating contest.

Clara: Oh son! Your father would be so proud!
Damion: I know he would be, Mom.
Rafiki: Why does this feel awkward...

Sinbad: What do you mean I was disqualified?!

You took a call in the middle of the contest, Sinbad! That's immediate disqualification.

Sinbad: I shall show you who is disqualified!

The Moodys got a present from a fan - a swarming mess of bees Sinbad was only too happy to utilize.

Damion: What the crazy is going on?! Where did these bees come from?!
Sinbad: Huzzah, I am winning! I may have lost the contest, but I'm winning!

Damion: MOMMY!
Clara: Oh, Goodwin, how I miss you!
Damion: It's like my whole brain is crying!

Sinbad: You disgust me.

Flor was not able to partake in the festivities because she had a gig.

Flor: Thank you very much, Twinbrook! You look beautiful tonight!

Apparently Flor saw someone very attractive in the audience.

...I hope it was me.

Ow.

Good job tho.

Damion: Listen bro, I don't know you and you don't know me, but you have no right to treat people that way!
Sinbad: Young man, I am not your 'bro' and I will do as I please. You can contest me like a man or you can GTFO.
Naka: Do you need backup, Dad?
Sinbad: No, but thank you, Naka.

Damion: Mom was right about you people! You're all terrible! And I'm not comfortable with my niece hanging around that boy of yours!
Sinbad: Don't you dare bring my grandson into this! He's never hurt a damned fly, much as I don't like it!

Damion: Becky! Did you know Jamie was hanging around that Moody boy?
Becky: She's doing what now?
Naka: What do you people have against Dean? He's an angel! A tiny angel!
Sinbad: Unfortunately-
Becky: JAMIE!

Becky: I hear you've been making new friends without telling Mommy.
Jamie: Not really, Mom. I just met Dean yesterday.
Becky: So you're the famous Dean Moody?

Dean: Yes Ma'am, I am! Dean Moody, scout extraordinaire and renowned baker, just like Jamie! At your service!
Jamie: Dean stop, you're embarrassing me! Mom doesn't like weird things-
Becky: Jamie, we'd better be going.
Jamie: *sigh* Okay, Mother.

Sinbad: That was a funny little show you put of for Becky Goode, Son.
Dean: I wasn't putting on a show-

Sinbad: You made that wretched woman so uncomfortable! It made me proud! C'mere, let me pinch those cheeks-
Dean: What?! No, Grandpa, I'm already twenty-one days old! That's practicay middle-aged and way to old for cheek pinching!
Sinbad: But Dean, your grandpa is very old and won't live forever. I need to pinch those cheeks so I'm happy and don't die. You don't want me to die, do you?

Dean: You're kidding, right?!

Dean: Fine!
Sinbad: That's my lad!

Sinbad: Veronica love, may I talk to you for a moment?
Veronica: In a sec, Sinbad, I have to make sure these suckers have plenty to read until tomorrow.
Sinbad: That you do. Cheers.

Veronica: All right, what is it?
Sinbad: Goodwin's death has gotten me thinking...I'm much older than you and I'm worried about leaving you behind...you're happy, aren't you love? I know-I know I could be abhorrent to live with at times...but I never wanted you to feel unloved or lonely-
Veronica: Sinbad...I'm not very good with people. That's why I prefer the plants, and the dogs, and the bees. I'm content without loads of friends and so-called influence like the Goodes have in this town. And I love you, and I love our family. My life is exactly want I wanted it to be.

Sinbad: That's all I wanted to hear.

And I'm leaving you there. ♥ And also with this interesting SP tidbit;

Umi and Adelaide (kittenmittons) got engaged! Hooray!

Until next time!

The Storms Legacy - Generation 9 Heir Poll

vayleen — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:42:01 GMT

GENERATION 9 HEIR POLL

SENECA STORMS
Slob, Athletic, Party Animal, Daredevil, Genius
Occult: Imaginary Friend

Seneca is the devilishly handsome and clever eldest child of Generation Nine. He loves to party, to show off, and he's good at it too. He had a casual relationship with his high-school girlfriend Shara Laroche-Zhou until he knocked her up. He tried doing the right thing, but she didn't. After she left, Seneca decided he'd be the best single father he could be, even though he can't even name his son. He has recently taken an interest in an attractive woman that popped out of a time machine - a so-called stalker named Calliope Elysees (kittenmittons). He plans on being a Master Acrobat.

LORELEI STORMS
Easily Impressed, Eccentric, Artistic, Cat Person, Perceptive
Occult: Hybrid - Imaginary Friend/Vampire

Lorelei is the lovely, ethereal second-born of Generation Nine. She loves scrap shops and art, especially when it involves using a blow torch. She also adores her cats, Hermione and Howell. Lorelei fell for her older brother's best-friend, Hinto Amitola (randuhh), after Seneca set them up. However, Lorelei and Hinto took a break since he was much older than her, and didn't want a relationship while she was underage. Lorelei dreams of being a Monster Maker, creating the ultimate art form - sentient art. She also needs to cope with her new monster status as an adult vampire hybrid.

OCTOBER STORMS
Athletic, Virtuoso, Disciplined, Photographer's Eye
Occult: Imaginary Friend

October is the oldest twin - the cool, quiet kid of Generation Nine with the aloof, hipster attitude. He loves martial arts, independent music, and black & white photography. He had an Imaginary Friend named Ripley, but they had nothing in common, and their friendship fell apart. Currently, the only one that can get under October's skin is the gorgeous, Evil ginger he's dating named Sailor Winter (simstrology). He has yet to pick a Lifetime Wish, but I guarantee it will involve all of his aforementioned hobbies.

ELENDIL STORMS
Easily Impressed, Heavy Sleeper, Diva, Virtuoso
Occult: None

Elendil is the youngest twin and the flashy, talented absolutely full-of-himself Diva of Generation Nine. He loves singing, playing the guitar and believes he will one day be just like ~~Taylor Swift~~ Jason Mraz. Despite how important he thinks he is, he's easily swayed by others, which is how his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Melody Hitch (ohmysims), a beautiful and elitist girl, helped him succeed as his manger in a hypothetical future. Speaking of his future, Elendil obviously wants to be a Vocal Legend when he finally grows up.

View Poll: Storms Generation Nine!

Thanks for voting! ♥

The Storms Legacy - 8.5.2

vayleen — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:38:54 GMT

((( archive )))((( download )))
WARNING: Strong language, sexual themes, more dramatic llamas, adorable pets, scary vampires

Welcome to Part 2! Have you read Part 1?

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Hidden Springs...

Lorelei: Now that I'm obviously a vampire hybrid, because there's no longer a way to hide it, do you think Hinto will understand?

There's only one way to find out!

Lorelei: You can do this, Lori. Just ring the bell. Like a boss.

Hinto (randuhh): Hey Lorelei! Are you all right? You look a little pale-
Lorelei: Wonderful! But we need to talk.
Hinto: Oh. I don't like conversations that start like that.

Lorelei: Hinto...I don't know how to say this. But the reason I look this way is because I'm a vampire.
Hinto: Since when?!
Lorelei: Well...since forever because I'm a hybrid. But I never looked like one until the moon started acting all crazy-

Hinto: Why didn't you tell me before?
Lorelei: I guess I didn't think it was that big a deal?
Hinto: Lori...you're a vampire. That's kinda a big deal.

Lorelei: I'm sorry, Hinto! Please don't break up with me! I promise, I've never, ever tired to eat a person-!
Hinto: We're not breaking up, Lori. I think...I think I can accept this.
Lorelei: Really?!
Hinto: Yeah. I mean, we need to take a break soon anyway?
Lorelei: Wait...what?!
Hinto: Well, my birthday is tomorrow and I'm not comfortable with carrying on like we do when I'm an adult and you're not. Your Dad might cut off my skin with his chisel.
Lorelei: (...)
Hinto: But...we still have tonight.

They decided to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Lorelei: I'm taking the side by the window.
Hinto: Like heck you are!

Hinto: I can't sleep unless I'm next to the window.
Lorelei: Right, like you'll be sleeping.
Hinto: Touché.

Lorelei: So does this mean I win, or-

Hinto: GET OUT OF MY HEAD, MONSTER GIRL!
Lorelei: ohmigods, HINTO! I WAS NOT READING YOUR MIND, I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT YET!

They're just playing. I think Hinto ended up with the side of the bed next to the window. And no, I don't think they slept. Much.

Shara: UGH ugh ugh, this is exactly what I knew I wouldn't like!

Sailor (simstrology): Whoa whoa whoa, this is not okay! I did not sign up for this when I told Toby I'd stay the night! Sailor is out!
Shara: If only it was so easy, bitch!

Shara brought home a baby boy...and then promptly ignored him.

Shara: Well, that was a thing.

Seneca: He's so beautiful, Shara! What should we name him?!
Shara: I don't really care. You pick.
Seneca: Maybe something French or Chinese to go with you heritage-?
Shara: Seneca, I told you, I don't care.

Seneca: But...the poor little guy needs a name. And I don't want to name him myself-

Seneca: Don't you need a name?! Don't you?! Yes you do!
Nameless: !

♥

Seneca: Gaw! I am so hungry! The hospital cafeteria was closed!

October is a little bitter that Sailor left on the account of his brother's girlfriend going into labor.

October: Hey, I missed out on a sure thing.

Soon enough, it was time for birthdays.

What are you wishing for, Shara?

Shara: It's a secret.

Shara: Adulthood at last.

Adulthood and motherhood!

Shara: (...) Adulthood. At. Last.

Seneca: It's my birthday too! Hooray!

I guess I didn't take an after shot of Seneca, but you can still see he's a major babe. ♥ I took out his chin stud because it didn't work with the sliders. :P Anyway, he rolled Genius for his fifth trait, which is a little surprising, but will make his Grandmother very happy. (We'll just say he's well-rounded now.) His LTW is still Master Acrobat.

Seneca is now up for download!

Seneca: Um. Hey, baby. I got you this.
Shara: Why are you so nervous?
Seneca: I don't know. Maybe because you're so gorgeous.
Shara: Aw! What's in the box?
Seneca: Just one of the family's flawless pink diamonds in an expensive star cut.

Shara: Aw, honey...it's perfect.
Sailor: Oh dear. I know that tone...

Seneca: I'm glad you like it. We're going to have a great life together, Shara. We'll have a wonderful life. You, me, and our son.

Shara: Oh, Seneca-
Seneca: I know. You're overwhelmed. I can feel it.
Shara: ...You have no idea.

Elendil: Remeber, you're singing the harmony-
Melody (ohmysims): I still think the one actually named "Melody" should get to sing the melodies.
Elendil: But I'm the star. Besides, I'm giving you the more challenging role. Because I believe in you and such.
Melody: Yeah, right! *sarcasm*

They sound a lot better now than they did when they were kids.

Elendil: ♪ ♫ what is it good for / absolutely nothing / oh yeah ♪ ♫
Melody: Ele, I don't think you understand the song you're singing-

Melody likes to spin when she sings karaoke and she looks so pretty when she does. asdghjkl; ♥

Elendil: You sing so wonderfully, Mel. I'm impressed!
Melody: Yeah, I know.
Elendil: And so humble too I see.
Melody: What was that?!

Four for you, Ele.

Melody: Wow, Ele...that was-
Elendil: Incredible, I know. You're not so bad yourself.

Melody: Does this mean we're getting together? Like, officially?
Elendil: Definitely. That would be the plan.
Melody: So...can I have some money?

Elendil: A girl after my own heart.

Elendil decided he wanted to serenade Melody properly and so broke out Carolyn's legendary guitar.

Elendil: ♪ ♫ you make me feel / feel like i'm living a teenage dream / they way you turn me on ♪ ♫

srsly, Ele? :P

At least Melody enjoyed it.

October: What do you want to do? Want to find a quiet corner and...enjoy the party?
Sailor: Absolutely.

Ripley: Whatcha guys doing?

This might be the day I kicked Ripley and Yakeeb out to live on their own.

Sailor: This is so much better.
October: Agreed.
Sailor: You should really talk to your friend. I mean, I know he has green hair and can turn into a creepo doll like you, but-
October: It's kinda different. I mean, I was raised human. I didn't come in the mail like most of them. So I actually act normal while he-
Sailor: Is a total creep?
October: Yeah, he is.

It's okay, Toby, I don't like him either. *sigh*

October: Anyway...do you want to...you know-
Sailor: YES!

Hot tub woohoo seems to be a theme with these kids.

Lorelei stares longingly at Hinto as he plays the bass in the band room, wishing she was grown up. Don't grow up too fast, Lorelei. < /3

Seneca: That was a good party, wasn't it?
Shara: It was okay.
Seneca: It's so exciting to be an adult. Now we can start our real lives. I can get a job as a street performer and you can take scenic pictures or something.
Shara: (...)
Seneca: Because I know you like cameras. And everyone likes pictures of the country-

Shara: Seneca, let's try not talking.
Seneca: Whatever you want!

Later, in the middle of the night...

Seneca: I knew it.
Shara: Crap.

Seneca: Did you think I was oblivious?! You've been acting weird ever since we found out you were pregnant with our son!
Shara: Seneca...
Seneca: You didn't even tell me you were pregnant until he was almost born!

Shara: I knew you wouldn't understand! This isn't the life I want, Seneca! I don't want to settle down with you and have a family! I want to go to France and China and see the world! I'm just not cut out for you and...him.

Seneca: He is our son!
Shara: He doesn't even have a name!
Seneca: I want to name him! But I want to name him together!

Shara: I keep telling you! That is not want I want! I want so much more than this crap!

Shara: This is why I was sneaking out. I couldn't deal with your judgmental drama. I just wanted to go and never come back!
Seneca: That's...what you want?
Shara: That's what I've been trying to tell you!
Seneca: Don't you...don't you feel anything for me?
Shara: (...)
Seneca: Shara-
Shara: I feel a lot of resentment. You tried to ruin my life. I'm claiming it back.

Seneca: ...then just go.

Seneca: Don't worry, son. We can be a family without her.
Nameless: :)
Seneca: I guess you still need a name, huh?

Here is some pet spam to ease your tattered emotions.

Hermione: I'M COMING AT YA!
Howell: !

Don't get it wrong. Seneca is very broken up about Shara leaving. And there's only one thing to do when a man is broken up over a woman.

He needs to bitch to his BFF. Now that Hinto is respectfully distancing himself from Lorelei until her birthday, Seneca has been able to repair his relationship with Hinto.

Seneca: I just feel so betrayed, you know? Bitches be crazy.
Hinto: Erm-
Seneca: Don't you agree?
Hinto: I'm not comfortable answering that while I'm still interested in dating Lori. Catch 22 and all that.

Hinto: Hey, why don't we bum around the gym for awhile and then take a soak? That should help you blow off some steam.
Seneca: Sure.

Seneca: Do you think I should email her nude pictures of myself? You know...in revenge?
Hinto: Heh. I don't think it will result in the things you want it to result in. Emailing naked pictures to your ex never works out well.
Seneca: You're probably right.

Hinto: Dude! When I said "let's take a soak after our workout" I meant with some kind of suit on!
Seneca: I gotta be free and true to myself, my friend. I'm going through a rough breakup.

Lorelei has been pretty moody during her so-called 'break' with her boyfriend, and decided she should throw eggs at all the doors.

Lorelei: Ugh, eggs are so messy! Why is this a thing?!

Because throwing rocks would be a lot worse than a minor misdemeanor?

Lorelei: Take that, house! Feel my frustration!

Winter: What the hell are you doing to my house, Lorelei?
Lorelei: Oh, um...sorry Aunt Winter! I didn't know you lived here!
Winter: Get out of here, you brat! Before I call the cops!

Lorelei: No one understands me! My life is so hard!

Lorelei: Even the garage pole hates me!

I think you're just being a teenager with boy problems, but okay.

Zoya: Your Aunt Winter called, Lori!
Lorelei: Crap.
Zoya: What in the name of the gods do you think you were doing egging houses all up and down the street?!

Lorelei: That's...that's not of your business!
Zoya: So now you're going to play it tough?! Well, good job, young lady! You and your hormonal flooded cerebrum can take some time to think about what you've done while you're grounded!

Seneca: Heard you got grounded.
Lorelei: What's it to you?
Seneca: Nothing. I just thought we could be miserable together for a minute.
Lorelei: Oh, yeah? What's making you so miserable?

Seneca: I don't know. I guess I want a woman who loves me and will do anything for me without going all crazy.
Lorelei: You know, Seneca...I love you, but you're really misogynistic sometimes.
Seneca: Yeah, I'll try and work on myself. For women everywhere.
Lorelei: You do that.

Seneca: Um...does this mysterious machine Grandma Parker invented months ago usually glow like this?
Lorelei: I can't say it does!

Lorelei: I'm just going to back away slowly from it now...
Seneca: I think it's disrupting the space-time vortex. Look at the way it ripples through the dimensional weave-
Lorelei: You never cared about science before.
Seneca: I still don't. I just know things.

Calliope (kittenmittons): Ffffffuuu...that hurt.

Seneca: Do attractive women usually fall out of this machine? Have I been wasting my misery on the internet?
Lorelei: No, this is entirely new.
Calliope: Who knew traveling to the past to seduce Silas would be so rough!

Seneca: Who's Silas?
Calliope: Silas Storms? He's only super hot and from a famous family. I want to marry him-
Seneca: I've never heard of a Silas-
Calliope: I traveled all the way back in time to see him, do you know where he is?
Seneca: No, but-
Calliope: I don't understand why he keeps running away from me. I'd be a perfect companion. I'd love him and do anything for him.

Seneca: Look, lady, I don't know how to help you but- Wait, did you say love and do anything?
Calliope: Huh?
Seneca: Look...why don't you go clean up downstairs? There's some old clothes an actress in my family used to own in my suite downstairs and you look like you've been through a rough ride.

Calliope: That sounds great, thank you! I want to look beautiful when I finally find Silas.
Seneca: Of course you go. Right this way, my lady.

Calliope changed into something a bit more Calliope since I finally found the outfit kittenmittons put her in. :P

In case it wasn't completely transparent, Seneca might have designs on the lady that popped through the space-time vortex, and in Seneca-land, that means working out to impress her.

Seneca: Babes love muscles, it's one of those primal urge things.

How can you go wrong with biceps like those?? Dang, son.

Elendil: Are you singing along with me, Howell?
Howell: I would, if you could play in my key-
Elendil: Good boy, Howell!

I think Toby is jamming with Ele, but it's hard to tell when they're both in separate rooms. I'm just gonna say they are.

Lorelei: *sneak sneak* *sneak sneak*

Lorelei needs to sneak out in order to attend school?

October: Did you just sneak on the bus-?
Lorelei: SHH! Don't say anything, I don't want Grandma to know I left!

Seneca: Morning!
Calliope: Good morning.
Seneca: Did you get a workout in?
Calliope: Yeah, it's a great way to start the day.
Seneca: Or end it. I like to workout at night.
Calliope: Oh?
Seneca: I mean...yeah. I guess we both like working out.

Can you be more awk, Seneca?

Calliope: It's so weird that I traveled to the future instead of the past! I guess that's what I get for getting into a machine I didn't know how to use-
Seneca: Yeah, so weird. *omnomnomnomnom*

Zoya: Seneca and I will try and figure out how to get you home, Cal. Too bad Parker didn't leave any contact information when she left.
Seneca: Yeah, too bad. Now it might take us a long time to figure out how to get that machine to work. A long, long time.
Calliope: It's a good thing it's a time machine, amiright?

Happy Birthday, nameless Storms son!

It appears the only thing he inherited from his mother is her hair color. Good try, Shara, but your genes are obviously unwanted.

Seneca: Who's Daddy's big boy?!
Nameless: Me!

Seneca: Come on, son. It's an easy word. Like, three letters, a monkey can do it.
Nameless: Maybe I'd be more interested in talking if I had an actual name.

Like father, like son.

Seneca: *cries* If only you had a mother!
Nameless: *cries* Daaad, I want to go to sleep!

Seneca is a really sweet Dad, in spite of himself.

Seneca: See this one, son? It's a big yellow school bus! Can you say 'bus'?
Nameless: *tries to fall asleep sitting up*

Zoya: I cannot believe you sneaked out of the house!
Lorelei: Grandma! I went to school! I wasn't being a delinquent or whatever!

Zoya: Irrelevant! I told you you couldn't leave the house and I meant it! For all I knew, you were throwing more produce at abodes!
Lorelei: Grandma-!
Zoya: If you were really going to school you would have let me know instead of sneaking out!
Lorelei: GODS! You don't trust me at all, do you?!

I think later on, Zoya realized she was being a little unreasonable.

Zoya: Okay, Lori. I know you were really just trying to go to school and the last thing I want is to compromise the education of one of my progeny.
Lorelei: Yeah...
Zoya: How about we call the grounded thing off?

Lorelei: Really?!
Zoya: Sure, sweetie!
Lorelei: Thanks so much, Grandma!

I just...can't. I can't. Zoya is my favorite. My favorite! I really did not expect this to happen, ever. I thought she would live forever.

Elendil: I'm so hungry, maybe I should make waffles - OHMIGODS, GRANDMA!

Nicolai: Mom! How can this happen?!
Georgia (simmypulsey): I really thought she'd live with us forever!
Seneca: Guys, what's all this noise? Why are the animals blocking the door?

Seneca: Grandma?! Oh no!
Lorelei: *sobs* Whyyyy?!

Grim Reaper: This family is a piece of work. Seriously.

October: Have a heart, man!
Seneca: She's the soul of this family!

Zoya: Please don't take me away, Mr. Reaper! This house needs me!
Grim Reaper: You've been cheating me for weeks, Zoya Storms. You don't need any more time.

Gwen: What a scoop! The Grim Reaper is hovering ominously over the passed out form of famous military personnel, Georgia Storms!
Grim Reaper: No, she was like this when I came out here, I swear!

Penelope: You can't take away my favorite human, skeleton creep! *BARK BARK!*

Grim Reaper: Whoa! Just don't bite me, okay?!

Calliope: Nooo! How will I ever get back to the past and to Silas now?!
Grim Reaper: Cool it, people. I'm giving Zoya back. Stupid dog.

Zoya: wo0t! That's how it's done!
Penelope: Um, hello? Any love for the soul-saving pup over here?!

Zoya: Thank you for saving my life, Penelope girl. ♥
Penelope: ♥♥♥ *lick lick*

Nicolai: I'm so glad you're okay, Mom!
Zoya: Me too, son, me too!
Seneca: Dad, I want to hug Grandma too!
Nicolai: I'm not done.

Georgia: Welcome back, Mom. ♥
Zoya: Thank you, Georgia dear.
Seneca: Is it my turn yet?
Nicolai: Getting back into the hugging line...

Everyone was happy and affectionate with Zoya after she came back to life. They really love her. :') I believe the Storms would lose something vital without Zoya around.

And then they forgot about someone...

Nameless: Someone feed me. And put me to bed. Please.

I really like this picture so you can see just how much these three look like each other.

Nicolai: I can help you with him, son.
Seneca: It's okay, Dad, I got it.
Nicolai: No, really. I don't mind helping with my grandson-
Seneca: Seriously, Dad, I got it.

Seneca, quit being so...so...I don't know. Seneca-like. He doesn't accept help from anyone.

Seneca: Have sweet dreams.

But then I see his sweet side, and I melt all over him. Dash it all.

Near death experiences are very stressful. Zoya was competely in the red and wasn't coming out of it really fast. Not that I blame her - she was dead, ghostatized and everything. Who wouldn't be a little stressed? Or a lot? Anyway, she chose this activity to 'lift her spirits' (<~puns!) and I love this interaction, so here you go.

Zoya: Zero gravity is the best when it makes you lighter.

Aw, Zoya. I know who you are thinking about. ♥

OTTO! Did you hear Zoya playing your music?

Otto: You're playing our song.
Zoya: Badly.
Otto: Well, it's still ours. ♥
Zoya: I was thinking about you today. I almost died, but the dog saved me. I feel a little guilty - we would have been together.
Otto: Don't worry, honey. I know it's not your time.

♥

Nicolai: Wow. That jump suit is hardcore.
Georgia: You married a hardcore woman.
Nicolai: Boy howdy.
Georgia: By the way, babe, since the butler doesn't cook anymore since the moon started acting funky, you're going to have to cook for the party.
Nicolai: Oh dear. I don't think a Storms has cooked since Parker's days. Or September's.

You make poolside cooking look easy, Nicolai.

Nicolai: *cough* Damn, I didn't know food smokes when you cook it!

That might be a bad sign, dear.

If you're wondering why the sky looks so white in the background, it's not a glitch. Hidden Springs was ridiculously foggy that day.

Nicolai: Your that boy that was sniffing around my only daughter when you were teens.
Hinto: Er-
Nicolai: Well, she's too young for that now. Take your nose and leave.

Hinto: Mr. Storms, I wouldn't dream of sniffing your daughter now. I mean...that...that didn't sound right. What I meant was-
Nicolai: Yeah?
Hinto: I've maintained a respectful distance from Lorelei in order to do the right thing but it's her birthday today-
Nicolai: She's not allowed to date until her next birthday.
Hinto: (...?)

Elendil: Mel! Mel, come quick!

Melody: What is it Ele?
Elendil: Listen to this. See this machine behind me?
Melody: The bulky one no one understands?

Elendil: Well, we do now! It's a time machine!

Melody: Really?! Like a tardis?!
Elendil: Maybe! Want to try it out together?
Melody: Absolutely!

Elendil: You're an amazing girl, Mel. I'm like 'let's go into a dangerous time machine together' and you're like 'yes, we should do that. what could happen?' It's amazing.
Melody: What can I say? I'm boss like that.

Elendil: Future or past?
Melody: (...)
Elendil & Melody: Future.

Elendil: Come on, Mel!
Melody: I'm right behind you!

And then...

Melody: I DON'T THINK STAGE PROPS SHOULD BE USED THAT WAY!

Melody: That was awesome!
Elendil: ...what was so awesome about it?
Melody: Huh?

Elendil: Don't act dumb! You divorced me, Mel! You took half my assets! How could you do that?!

Melody: Wait a minute! I didn't actually divorce you! That hasn't happened yet! And the future isn't set in stone, Ele, that doesn't really have to happen-!

Elendil: For all I know you've been planning on latching onto my talent this whole time just to get rich in the end! Do you know what that makes you?! A gold digger! And a loser!

Melody: What kind of gorgeous, educated self-sufficient woman like me do that?! I could make it on my own without you, Ele! I've got my own talents! Getting up on stage and singing with your weird faces like this isn't real talent!
Elendil: Melody, stop it!
Melody: This is you! This is how you look!

Melody: Besides, you wouldn't have made it big without me by your side! I was you publicist, your agent, your manager! I made your image! You think you'll get those record breaking hits without me?! Think again.
Elendil: You think too much of yourself. I obviously was famous for a reason, and it had nothing to do with you. You want to know what it is? Talent and charm.

Melody: I'm tired of you taking me for granted, Ele.
Elendil: I'm tired of your high-and-mighty snobbery.
Melody: Well. I guess we know were we stand.

October: Mel! Hey, what's up? Are you leaving?
Melody: Yes, I'm leaving! Good riddance!
October: Um..okay. Goodnight to you too?

October: Ele! I just saw your girlfriend, she seems to be in one of her smug moods. Sailor and I were talking about it and I convinced her we should go on that double date you wanted-

Elendil: No! No way! That woman drives me crazy!
October: But I thought you liked Sailor!
Elendil: I wasn't talking about Sailor!
October: Whoa, whoa! Did you guys break up again?

Elendil: ...Probably.
October: Are you sure? Sometimes you and Melody sound like you're fighting when you're actually...you know...talking over each other and not listening to one another. You do this all the time.
Elendil: It's different now. We know our relationship is doomed.
October: Oh...well...sorry dude.

What Toby is actually thinking is 'Melodramatic much?'

Seneca: Oh, hey you!
Calliope: Hey Seneca.
Seneca: Are you enjoying the party?

Calliope: It's fun! I've always wanted to go to a real Storms party. You know. Without crashing it.
Seneca: I still find it hard to believe you were stalking them back then.
Calliope: Yeah, well. Storms are pretty awesome.

Calliope: Anyway, I'll just get out of your way-
Seneca: Oh, and I think I just got in your way of getting out of my way.
Calliope: So I'll just step here-?
Seneca: Oops, we did it again!
Calliope: Maybe you should stand still and I'll just dance around you.
Seneca: ...I like that idea very much.

Lorelei: Grandma, it's my birthday!
Zoya: I know! You Dad made hotdogs! You better enjoy them while your taste buds still work.
Lorelei: What do you mean?
Zoya: Happy Birthday, honey!

It has everything with you turning into a vampire babe, Lori. ♥

And suddenly your eyes are glowing again?

Mysteriously, Lorelei looks completely normal in CAS. It's like opposite land since Supernatural. Anyway. Lorelei rolled Perceptive for her fifth trait. I picked Monster Maker for her LTW because I gave up all pretense of letting sims roll LTWs when I decided I didn't want to play the same one over and over. And she's finally let her hair down! It's lovely and wavy just like Georgia's. Actually, Lorelei takes a lot after her mother, except her eyes are shaped like Nicolai's.

Lorelei is also up for download.

And I'm wrapping things up there and leaving you with this picture of boats in Hidden Springs. I hope you enjoyed this ridiculously long update! I hope it makes up for my long absence. :3
