Chapter 4.17

Hello again!

So what happened last chapter? A lot. Terrible things!

We had a fire, a surprise pregnancy and James completed his second aspiration! 🙂

I think that’s the most important things.

Stiring a potion without a liquid in the cauldron?

That’s new to me. I took this the second my game loaded and I haven’t waited for the lag to go away yet 😀

Sunshine taking a nap next to her liter box.

Or is she?

It was hard to watch this. Really hard. That’s why you only get 3 screenshots about the whole pet dying tragedy!

The cheese hair woman is Suzanna, one of Brian’s soon 20 friends…The rest of the family was asleep.

As a memeber of the family, Sunshine got her own picture and place in the family crypt.

I’m not sure if it’s disrespectful to put it on the floor tho… Opinions?

James woke up and cried.

James: I lost my mother a second time…

That must hurt… But the cat will come around as a ghost soon, I promise!

Tempy: That’s where she died?

Yep. Right where you’re standing.

Upstairs it was time for Melina to drink the potion to get rid of the most disgusting curse there is in the game. I’m sick of all the puke around the house.

Maybe open your mouth to drink it and not spill it all over your face?

Or do you think Melina likes sticky liquids on her face? Not sorry at all 😛

Marielle, some kind of cousin, used to be a childhood friend but now she’s only an auqcq not a friend anymore.

But this makes her friend #20 for Brian’s aspiration.

She has the glitch that some of the relatives had… Super slim as a teen but an hour glass figure as a young adult. Sheila had this, too.

It was birthday time and Tempy used the opportunity to throw a party outside the house. We went with the museum. Luckily we brought a cake! You get informed about it AFTER a birthday party starts…

As you can see it was James’ elder birthday. It hurts to see him get old… But that’s the circle of life.

Doesn’t look too bad, does he?

James: I still miss Sunshine…

You’ll meet her again soon.

Brian: That’s morbid.

I mean the cat ghost. DUH. He will live looooong with his reward trait.

It’s also Brian’s young adult birthday!

In addition to his already weird traits of Erratic and Childish I rolled Squeamish. Poor boy…

And I’m glad he’s not the heir 😀

I have no clue who that girl in the blue shirt is…

Now we see elder James with a smile 🙂

The smile looks weird. His lips disappear and it looks like a duckface 😀 Has this been like this before? I can’t remember…

Back at home Tempy worked on her veterinarian skill.

It’s a miracle she doesn’t fall over forward. Look at that huge baby bump!

How can she wear heels with that big thing in front of her?

Melina is working hard on her aspiration. She already has 7 of the 10 poitions she needs to find – the two cursed ones in the back don’t count – and then get to rank 5 as a spellcaster 🙂

Why are you sad again?

James: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…. You make me happy when skies are grey…

He took the loss the hardest. Even Tempy. the cat lover, didn’t mourn that long.

My 7th collection! The crystals.

Yes it feels a bit like cheating as I bought the yellow one – still in the inventory and not on the pic – on the fleamarket and I bought the one of the left side online 😀

It’s still not cheating, is it?

It’s time for the LAST baby this generation. How? No more woohoo for these two!

Speaking of two, it’s twin girls!

Tempy holds Belicia. I know I said that John apparently didn’t have a female name but I read in another forum that Belicia is John’s female name. I will call her Bel tho. Too risky for misspelling 😀

The baby in the baby bed is Mary. Named after Mary Austen, Freddie’s true love and life-long friend.

It’s not like I need the doll house soon but thanks for destroying it. KADEN!!

James: So two, huh? I can handle this. I’m old but that’s ok. Totally fine…

There are a lot of pictures of James in his pants only. Coincidence? Maybe…

Kaden: My wife says you’re her favorite, blueberry, so I did you a favor,

Tempy: The doll house? That was you?!

Roger: I don’t see them as competition, gramps. They’re too young and alea iacta est.

Smartass. The Latin part means “the dices have fallen” as in the decision has been made.

Brian completed his Friends of the World aspiration.

I’m so proud. Now move out.

His shirt blends in with the bathroom. I really feel like renovating the house.

Tempy is going strong with all the parties. Only 3 more parties for the scoring point and a ton lot more for her aspiration…

She has to go to 15 parties! WHAT THE FUCK?!

And throw 10….

And earn gold in 2….

The 15 parties can be her own parties tho… So you’ll see 18 more parties. If my calculations are correct.

Here she prepares Kava for the Kava party. Yay.

James wasn’t invited to the Kava party because he was busy at work getting the level 10 promotion!

Worst career ever. He comes home with less than 1K simoleons on level 10! To compare: Tempy brings home close to 5K a day…

I wondered why Sunshine didn’t show up so I checked her urn.

She refused to visit us… Probably holding a grudge. But why?

Look at this beauty. And as always, the Plushie plaque doesn’t exist… There should be 7 by now. 2 more and I get another scoring poin!

Look, it’s a party! I almost forgot to take a screenshot 😀

Guess it!

Dinner party. Yep. Standing while eating.

As it was a Sunday during the dinner party and there was plenty of time left, I threw the final party for the scoring point as well: Spooky!

The two heirs carving pumpkins!

Love Roger’s outfit!

In all the party rush I forgot to take a picture of the twins’ birthday.

This is Bel. You can remember her as the one with the dark brown hair and green eyes.

Her trait is Charmer.

And this is Mary.

Her trait is Angelic.

She’s the one with the light brown hair and blue eyes.

I checked their young adult looks. Not identical 🙂

As the twins will be a handful I will only start the bachelor part after their child birthday. Roger only has 2 days left as a teen but it’s ok that he’ll have 4 days less when he starts the bachelor part 🙂
