3.02 – Somebody to Love

Last time, Fiyero met his potential spouses, but only wanted to be friends with most of them. And the family moved to Hidden Springs to start a new chapter.

So game is loaded on my new laptop with a minimum of mods and no CC except for decrapified Store Content. Which means I have no custom hairs, so everyone needs makeovers!

Also, apparently all the diplomas, awards and skill certificates have also disappeared. That’s really annoying! They made the trip fine when we moved, but changing computer kills it? Weird. Fiyero’s we still have, because his were in his inventory, not on the wall. But I’m really bummed about Jess’ (and Bruce and Phoenix’s skill certs!) because she had quite a few.

Aaand, it crashes after Chance’s makeover. I think Fiyero is glitchy, game crashed when I switched active sim – and he was invisible.

He’s still invisible when I reboot, so I amuse myself watching him be an antsim for a while – at least he’s not annoying me with his EA-default hair this way.

Haha, plate in the floor.

Sam has a new RI.

While the girls are at work, Fiyero is also working; he now has a wish to get to L4 in the Investigator career, so we’ll take on another case. Simon Cho’s house was burgled.

This is Simon Cho, showing off my new skin/face defaults, now using BrntWaffles’ Cloud Parade.

So Fiyero needs to interview some sims about the burglary.

The library is always a good place to find people.

Tam got another promotion; and while pregnant too, I’m impressed!

PMSL, and Fiyero has decided he needs to snoop for clues in the fountains outside the salon. As you do.

LMAO, Liam O’Dourke is the thief? And he apparently got a tattoo, then had it removed. That does not sound like him at all.
Pink was right, these cases are hilarious! I will have to do this career again.

Fiyero meets Yttrium outside the Spa, and since it’s a full moon, chooses to use a Lunatic Embrace with her. It is accepted.

And then they flirt a little.

And Fiyero rolls this! He asks her, but she says she’s too tired; it is after midnight. So I’ll lock in the wish and we’ll try another day.

Also, I have to find my mod for no full moon glow again, I’d forgotten how bad it is, especially inside.

The next morning, the gnomes are hanging out in the garden, blocking Jess from harvesting the crops. At least the rain means she doesn’t have to water all the plants…

Chance is still working on the car.

Jess wished for a gnubb set, then she wished to play a game with Chance, so okay, play gnubb.

Hey, check out the rainbow! Pretty.

With the week’s investment income, Fiyero buys out the spa, fulfilling the wishes of the entire family to own 5 businesses. He then promptly renames it; Tigular is Fiyero’s surname in Wicked (except Wiki just told me I spelled it wrong, should be Tigelaar; will be changing that next time I’m in game).

Jess won the game of gnubb!

Chance got a work opportunity; since he hasn’t rolled a wish to retire, I’m allowing him to work for now. Maybe he’ll retire when Fiyero gets married.
That’s also a good shot of his new hair; I’m not entirely happen with it, but couldn’t find anything better.

It’s our favourite bespectacled redhead! Fiyero is ‘confronting thief’.

And case is done once he reports back to Simon. I do like these cases, they’re cute and light-hearted as the game should be.

To fulfil his wish, Fiyero asks Yttrium on a date. Or…he tries to. Are you kidding, game? Fiyero has 5 Best Friends; all women!

So I tried to invite her out, figuring a little flirting would turn it into a date. Yttrium isn’t on the list of sims Fiyero can ask out… (neither is Lavender or Harley Quinn) Hmm.

Instead, Fiyero visited Lavender and invited her out for dinner.

No, Tam.

Ooh, now Fiyero has rolled this. Good boy!

So I’m going to have him flirt with Lavender as well, see if that triggers some wishes.

It worked 🙂 So even if there is no initial attraction, Fiyero does like most of the girls.

Fulfilling the wish.

Woot, more wishes! Lol, check his wish panel. Poor Fiyero is so torn.

Hai Phoenix!

Tam had a baby boy! Lyle’s an…okay name. Better than Milton. We’ll go over and check him out once he’s a toddler.

As Fiyero wishes, he is sending a love letter to Yttrium (and Lavender, Dixie and Harley Quinn).

The fixer upper car is fixed up! The oldies will go for a drive shortly.

With some chess to build logic, Fiyero has reached level 5 of the Private Investigator career!

PMSL, and then he rolls this. I don’t think it’s possible to get fired from an Ambitions profession, so he’ll just quit. And we’ll see what he rolls next.

Ooh, double rainbow!

Jess is selling more paintings at the consignment store; she keeps wishing to paint, so I’m allowing her to.

Lavender came over for a date; they’re slow dancing.

Lavender keeps stepping on Fiyero’s feet.

And after a few more flirts, first kiss! Which it looks like Fiyero missed, lol.

And right after the great date ends (when he invites her to sleep over), Fiyero wants to pillow fight. So sure.

Ooh, the first abduction of the legacy!

With all his Logic skills, the Medical career is a shoo-in for Fiyero’s second career. And I’m hoping he’ll get to L5 around when his wife is pregnant, so we can know the sex of the baby before birth.

Jess keeps wishing to skill more, and Chance can use it for a raise, so play together.
Pro tip: if you ever want a sim to max many skills, give them Renaissance Sim as a LTW; they will continually roll wishes to increase skill levels, and because it goes towards their LTW, they get more LTH for fulfilling it – even if they’re already maxed their three skills.

Dammit! I forgot that elder men can get pregnant from aliens too. I guess this will be -5 for breaking the one child rule, but also +3 for adding an alien to the family…

Today after work, it’s Yttrium’s turn to have a visit with Fiyero. He’s at her place this time; this cute little log cabin is where she moved to after moving out of the other house.

Jess has been doing more still life paintings. The one of Fiyero inventing turned out nicely. The somber one of Chance playing guitar, not so much.

Flirty Fiyero.

Moar flowers! Yellow to match her dress (sorta).

Despite woohooer’s rating of 1 out of 10, Yttrium and Fiyero get along very well; she accepts his HOTM kiss easily.

And then Fiyero rolls this wish. Poor boy is so confused.

Hey, it’s been a while since we had a popup about a simself. Sam has (yet another) RI. I think this is her third in Hidden Springs.

Another mod I’ll have to put back in; ghost reaction remover. Especially since they always come through Fiyero’s room and wake him up in a beeline for the rocking chair.

At home, Fiyero continues to roll wishes towards the girls, pleasing me greatly.

Chance and Jess have chosen to try out the new car.

Not by driving.

And they get this cute moodlet. Love it!

Then Jess decides to cook her own hotdogs instead of eating the perfect leftovers made by her mother. Sim Logic… (they were Nice quality, at least)

Dixie got a promotion, well done!

And that settles the choice for today’s date; Dixie is the winner! Fiyero is finally going to get rid of that wish to ‘kiss Dixie for the first time’.

While on his way to meet Dixie, Fiyero gets this invitation from Harley Quinn. So I guess it will be a quick date.

That hat is annoying me, can’t see her eyes.

Better.

They’re attracted to one another, so it’s no surprise the flirting goes over very well.

I was too slow to catch the first kiss, but Fiyero swoons after; he really likes Dixie.

Chance is getting chubby!

Fiyero seems to be the only guest at Harley Quinn’s party… But that’s okay, it’s time to see if we can trigger some wishes for her.

Well…that’s sort of what we wanted.

Jess painted some new paintings! We’ll keep the spacey-looking one, will fit nicely in Fiyero’s room, given his spouse will be interested in Science.

Story is pregnant!

He still hasn’t rolled any romantic wishes towards Harley Quinn, but the flirts are accepted easily enough.

And the first kiss comes reasonably painlessly.

Immediately after he kisses Harley Quinn, Fiyero rolls this. Poor, confused boy.

Argh! What is wrong with their feet? That’s what happened when it takes a while for things to render.

Chance is almost ready to pop!

He’s playing with the miner, since the garden is now dormant. Dug up some Palladium and some scrap for Fiyero.

It’s baby time! Of course we’re going to raise the baby, damn the broken restriction.

Baby boy, named Boq, after the other significant male character in Wicked. He rolled Friendly and Evil…because those two traits totally sound like they go together.

Uhm…wtf is that surname? Why does he not have his father’s surname, like my other alien babies have had?
Also, a look at his faves; R&B, Stu Surprise and White.

We pulled out Jess/Fiyero’s play table and toddler toys for baby Boq; recycling is important!

 

And with that done, here are the candidates for Fiyero’s spouse:

Lavender Chimeree
Traits: Neurotic, Excitable, Handy, Kleptomaniac, Schmoozer

Yttrium Mendeleev
Traits: Coward, Clumsy, Loves the Outdoors, Green Thumb, Excitable

Harley Quinn Personality
Traits: Good Sense of Humour, Loner, Vegetarian, Angler, Loves the Outdoors

Dixie Secksie
Traits: Ambitious, Green Thumb, Genius, Eco-Friendly, Friendly

 

I may not have explained this previously, but once a legacy has been used, no other sims from that legacy will be considered for spouses – so choose wisely!

You can vote below or at boolprop. Or both, if you like; the more votes the merrier!
