Chapter 1.5

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the short break, but I moved to a new apartment. Yes, I’m posting from my new place 🙂 Yay.

Anyway, last time Ava was born and became a toddler, Thommy became a child and we left in the middle of Winterfest.

You’re late.

Father Winter: I always come around 8 pm.

But that’s way too late for toddlers!

Father Winter: They’re supposed to be asleep anyway.

But they want to meet you!

Father Winter: Leave it or I’ll put you on my Naughty List!

I’m already on it! Very top! 😈

Arthur: Father Winter, please, take me with you! Everyone in this house ignores me!

Ava: No, we don’t.

Arthur: Then what’s my name?

Ava: Dadaadaaaa! Gah gah!

Arthur looks so desperate in Father Winter’s arms… Should I feel guilty? Naaaah 😀

Father Winter: Poor little fella… I would take him with me but… they didn’t give me biscuits.

Sounding bitter there, old man.

Father Winter: I’m super busy today. You’d expect some biscuits as well.

You don’t look busy.

Father Winter: Uh, that’s because … because Rudolph’s got a flat tire.

Eventually it’s Arthur’s birthday.

Arthur: I wish for more attention.

Mo: Not gonna happen when you say it out loud!

Arthur: What?!

And here is child Arthur. He looks a bit evil with those eyebrows but I like that because his namesake is kinda evil. Or more like brutal?

Anyway, his child aspiration is Social Butterfly… -.- And his trait is Animal Enthusiast. Aw, that’s cute.

Why are you outside in a blizzard?

Valentina: I. Hate. Everything!

Maybe stay inside then? Especially as a high maintenance sim?!

Lovely to see her tho 🙂 All the ex-contestants are married and a lot of them have kids by now. I won’t keep track on them this legacy tho. That’s so much work… Same for the family tree. Has anyone ever looked it up anyway?

Ava: Stop following me around! I am an independent woman!

You are a toddler and I am the one who keeps you alive.

Thommy: So, you are a nanny? Our new nanny? But you’re a man?

Nanny: Nannies can be anything.

Polly: Even a unicorn?

Nanny: Anything that exists in this world.

So the other nanny got pregnant by MCCC (or the new life progression in game?). We will see her again as she’ll stalk the kids who are her friends…

Ava: Someone broke the dollhouse. I bet it was Arthur.

Arthur: Oh now you remember my name!?

Thommy: Calm down, she’s just a toddler.

Mo and Azure come home from work when it is snowing and by accident I find the “dance in the snow” interaction.

I’m the complete opposite of a romantic but… THAT IS SO CUTE!!!

And seconds later I make Mo grind away for work again.

Mo: At least you make me write jingles on the guitar now.

Is it jingles or a new song? Seriously, I can’t remember. Does it matter? Nope 🙂

But I really appreciate the jingle writing stuff. EASY MONEY!

Remember the snowpal Polly and Thommy made last chapter? It’s so fabulous some sims walk up to it and clap!

First sim I noticed is Simeon. At around 2 pm or so. Creep. I really can’t stand this sim. No idea why. Anyone else?

Arthur: Thommy, I’m so happy you want to be my best friend. You are my only friend.

Thommy: I’m your best friend under one condition. Don’t let Polly know.

Polly and Thommy were best friends before. Arthur replaces her. Oops.

Thommy needs three kid friends and luckily he brings home a potential friend.

This kid looks a lot like Eva Capricciosa from Windenburg, doesn’t it?

Arthur also needs some friends and he starts with some adults.

Mo: I should be worried, shouldn’t I? There’s an old man in my house talking to my youngest son.

Mortimer: I’m no creep. Your son asked me to help with his homework because no one in this household seems to care for him.

Polly: At least he gets proper screen time…

Thommy is friends with the Eva spawn boy now and so I send him home. “Go away” by MCCC is my favourite button to click 😛

Poor thing slips and falls on his back tho.

Mortimer: Oh no! We must help him!

Arthur: He’s just a random townie. I might be heir of this legacy one day. You choose.

Spoiler: Mortimer didn’t help the boy.

Some more sims come to watch my snowpals.

Even during a blizzard. Where’s the logic here?!

“Oh hey, it’s a blizzard outside. We could stay inside where it’s safe and warm… OR we go outside in the raging storm to take a look at a dumb snowman!”

Polly: Woot! I get screen time! And I’m not weirdly cut off!

Thommy: Do you think it has to do with the fact that you can’t be heiress?

Don’t you dare spread theese seeds in her head!

… Even if they might be true…

Anway, it’s New Year’s Eve. Yay.

Mo: It’s one of the few holidays in this game …

There are way too many.

Mo: … and all I do is get rid of this awful mess!

I wouldn’t want to live there.

The three kids get some time off from skilling and working on their aspirations.

Let’s build an army of snowpals!

Polly: Do you think my mother will come and take a look at them?

Well, I think Pollination Technician #3 (literally her name!) is too busy for that…

Mo: No! No! I will not abandon my family and go back to my planet where my parents have a big mansion and servants. Stop it, voice in my head!

Ah yes, the good old erratic trait 🙂

Arthur: Oh wow, you’re really handsome. Hi, I’m Arthur.

Wolfgang: Hey little man, I’m Wolfgang. I guess you’re Azure’s child?

Arthur: Yes, and my dad is Mozart.

Wolfgang: Ouch, that name still stings…

Arthur: Huh?

Ok, two thirds of the new snowpals are kinda disappointing…

Polly: All that counts is that we had fun making them, right?

Suuure…

Wait, what is your little sister up to?

Ava: Uhm, need potty asap!

Ava: An independent woman only follows her own rules.

What rule includes making a mess?

Ava: I’m bringing more colour to this boring white snow.
