2.06 – It Moves Us All

Last time at the Rourke’s, Fiyero was adorable and started learning inventing; Jess completed her LTW and Chance started a Midlife Crisis.

Today is Snowflake Day, but no-one is in the mood for a party, or even to visit the festival. So they’ll stay home.

Epic snowball fight! Both Chance and Fiyero wished to do it, so we used Bruce’s new arena.
Jess and Fiyero won, I think. Bruce and Chance were definitely hit with more snowballs.

Only 200 more minutes of this…

Heat of the Moment Kiss! Too cute.

As is this, even if Chance kissed her nose. Now I just have to figure out how to get that pic on the wall somewhere…

I sent Chance off to meet the new simselves. Sam is just standing around outside.

Upon meeting her, Chance rolled this *facepalm*

Ohshit, this is what I was afraid of. Bruce, come quick!

Oh, thankgod.

Chance makes friends with Sam, then goes inside. Neither Tam nor Raelindolin are interested in talking…

Though Tam turns off the computer eventually. And then heartfarts with Chance. Who predictably rolls a MLC wish to flirt with her.

After a few interactions, Tam wanders off to cook something, and Rae has finally put down her book, so Chance talks to her. And heartfarts again.

Dammit Fiyero, again? Jess is home now, she’ll put you out.

Rochelle is pregnant!

Yay, MLC is over! He rolled some pretty easy wishes, not just the standard ‘divorce spouse’.

PMSL, Tam! Chance is trying to befriend you after your excellent hotdogs. But you’re making a snow angel…the wrong way.

But that’s okay, all three of the simselves are now Chance’s friends, so we should get popups about them as they live their lives.

Uhm, what? Adults can sleep in here too? I did not know that. Chance chose to sleep here when I clicked his ‘exhausted’ moodlet.

Bruce hasn’t been to sleep in an actual bed since Phoenix died. I just forced him to nap in the rocking chair, otherwise he just rocks for hours.

Heather had a baby girl! And I just realised Heather’s baby daddy Travis is also Rochelle’s baby daddy Travis. Way to share the boyfriend, guys.

For a non-Childish sim, Bruce sure loves the sandbox. In the snow in his athletic gear, of course.

Yeah, I’m just following Bruce around for now. Jess and Chance are skilling and Fiyero is at school.

First popup for the new simselves; Sam bought a futuristic scooter.

Apparently I’m psychic. 😦

Jess is the only one home; Chance just went to work and Fiyero isn’t home from school yet.

Farewell Bruce, you maxed four skills, maxed your career and raised a beautiful daughter who has a nice nest egg thanks to your shrewd investing early.

He is residing inside the house with Phoenix until the end of winter.
Yes, I know the vase isn’t centered; it annoys me so much, but I spent 10 minutes trying to get it in the middle. Obviously, I failed.

Jess reached L9 of the painter career! Only $22k more in paintings to sell.

Riverview is getting really laggy; we may have to move soon. But I’m going to google some solutions first; I like this town.

This is the Riverview Library I got from the exchange; two stories and it has a kids’ area!

Chance has chosen to read in said kids area.

Jess has completed the last of the painting challenges.

And since her paintings will be worth “oodles more money”, hopefully she’ll get to L10 of the career quicker.

Ooh, cool painting, I haven’t seen that one before!

Chance has maxed guitar!

Playing with still life paintings; Jess painted Fiyero presiding over royal court. It turned out really well! We’re definitely keeping that.

Tam has a RI!

It’s Fiyero’s birthday! I’m really hoping I won’t have the same freaky issue as the Winters did when they had kids who tried to age up in the royal court outfit…

Hmm, seems okay. And I had to show you guys his age up outfit. Too funny!

He rolled Born Salesman. I haven’t played a sim with this trait before, should be interesting. Fiyero will joining the inventing career when he turns YA.

Chance’s hair and mouth, Phoenix’s eyes, Jess’ nose (which she got from Phoenix in the first place).  Good combination of genetics. Taking inspiration from Krypton Zale, the inventor wears an apron. But he’s insane, so who knows what he’ll wear to actually invent.

I turned on autonomous woohoo through nraas Woohooer. Not risky or TFB, just plain woohoo. Jess and Chance love it.

Sorry Fiyero, your father has 4 more handiness points before we can do that. But I’ll lock it in – he should be able to get 4 points in the next 14 days.

And this is why I never have sims who fail school – they *wish* to do homework. Don’t ask me how newly teen Fiyero has homework – SimLogic.

The new resting place of Bruce and Phoenix, each with a reminder of their favourite activities.
Once I decide whether or not we’re moving town, I might spruce up the death area a bit.

Prom already? He hasn’t even been to school yet!

Chance got a gift from Rae – sorry chica, he’s taken.

As is Jess, Tomahawk, you know this.

I guess Tomahawk moved on. Again. I think this is the third or fourth simself he’s gone after.

Interesting; this is Story Moss from A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss, who I had in my sim bin and decided to add to the town. She wasn’t really in my list for science spouses, but hey.

Tam is apparently working in the political career. And she got a promotion, well done.

Whose house is this? The Moss household. Totally not stalking 🙂

She is very pretty, but her traits really don’t mesh for the science career. We’ll see what Fiyero thinks.

*sigh* speaking madness is so not going to help make friends. I had to control him to make it up to friendship, but we did it in a few sim hours.

I haven’t seen this interaction before, must be a full moon thing.

Hmm, looks like a normal embrace, but I guess they’re not RIs or anything.

And he doesn’t find her attractive. Okay then, they can stay friends.

Chance has been studying handiness all afternoon, so he can buy a car and teach his son to drive. He’s up to L8.

Seems my simself is at the end of her life bar, too. Makes sense, she was placed in town at the same time as Phoenix and Bruce.

And Rochelle had a baby. Keith seems so very normal for one so crazy as Rochelle to name her son.

Wait, what? A girl as well? Maybe she had twins?

She did indeed.

This is toddler Celine Zalie; she got her mother’s huge blue eyes!

Since he probably won’t wear it to prom, here is Fiyero’s cute herringbone formal wear.

Hey, Bruce is haunting! (It’s almost 9am, but whatever). Apparently he’s hungry.

LOL, she just popped out twins! Someone needs to teach Rochelle about birth control.

Hey, I finally found the invention gnome Jess bought. Its name is Chelle, after Hot Chelle Rae. King is the rabbit gnome in there with him.

OMG OMG OMG! A Heart-Shaped Cut Pink Diamond is on sale at the consignment shop! It’s expensive, but we have the money. Sold!

Jess’ first painting opportunity; easy done.

Wow, that was quick! $14k from 5 paintings.

And now she’s getting an award, cool.

Aw, no ceremony in front of city hall; Jess just went in the rabbithole and came out with this popup.

Hey, it’s my ancient simself. Jess goes to chat with her.

Chance finishes work and….

gets a promotion! LTW done!

So I hold an autograph session, just because he can. Rae is the first one there. Methinks she might be stalking him…

the others leave after he signs their autograph. Rae didn’t.

I was afraid this would happen. Farewell, Samali.

 

And this is the last I’ve played, so next time, new adventures!
