3.03 – Making a Choice

 So you guys have voted, and Yttrium is the winner, receiving 5 votes. Dixie came second with 4 votes.

I apologise for the long delay; I had no internet for the entire Christmas period, since we went over our bandwith limit, and also had some family issues to work through. But all that is sorted now, so we get onto bringing our scientist into the family!

I missed the shot, but look, no skill bar! Fiyero maxed the inventing skill. He’s already made all the inventions, so the first part of the mini challenge is done.

Chance has rolled this wish; so once again I can see how much these guys are worth. Almost back up to the value from before they moved.

Completing Fiyero’s wish to Hang Out with Yttrium, he meets her at the theatre for a movie.

Except it’s too late for a movie, so they’ll just watch the stars, as he has wished.

He rolls another wish, to kiss her, but she leaves too quickly, so Fiyero heads back home to sleep.

Today is Spooky Day! Fiyero wants to go to the festival and also go on a date with Dixie, so we’ll kill two birds with one stone.

Look who else is at the festival; Raelindolin and her two sons, one of whom has inherited Rae’s green-tipped hair.

Fiyero challenges Dixie to an apple bobbing contest, then rolls the wish to win it. We’ll see!

And win he did, well done! His enthusiasm for the win is so cute.

Dixie runs off, but Fiyero isn’t yet done at the festival; he enters the haunted house, looking for a witch gnome. He didn’t like it much.

He then follows Dixie home, to break up with her.

She doesn’t take it very well.

Since it’s only 2pm, he goes off to see Lavender; he’s going to break up with the other three before asking Yttrium to go any further.

After he breaks up with Lavender, he immediately rolls this. No, Fiyero!

Poor Lavender is very distressed. Sorry, hun, the people have spoken.

These two are dripping puddles everywhere; good thing there are no neat freaks in this house. But Harley Quinn makes a brilliant grumpy face!

And with that, Fiyero has only one romantic interest. Time to head to Yttrium’s!

Meanwhile, Jess is selling more paintings.

Oh Fiyero. I left him alone and he has chosen to Speak Madness to Yttrium. She’s a little freaked out. But she also makes awesome faces.

Flowers quickly fixed that mistake.

And then fulfils his wish to kiss her.

A few more interactions, and she agrees to be his girlfriend. They are so cute together!

And they’re interrupted by someone at the door.

It’s a trick-or-treater. At least it’s the right time of year; it’s still Spooky Day.

OMG, and this save file is so laggy; literally every two sim minutes, my game freezes for twenty or thirty seconds. No crashing, but it’s so annoying. The Maloney file isn’t nearly as bad, despite many more people in the family tree and in the town itself. I may have to move them again.

But first, Fiyero asks Yttrium to move in. She accepts, as expected.

Sam is having a baby!

Jess is happy to have another baby to look after, even if it’s not her grandchild.

Naw, Yttrium and Fiyero’s first night together. I love that Yttrium is the big spoon.

Today is Fiyero’s first day of the Medical career! Yttrium is also off to work.

Ooh, Fiyero has already received this opportunity! I haven’t actually built this, only bought the My Best Friend reward, so this should be fun! Jess found palladium way back when she was a child in Riverview; we’ve been saving them.

And on his first day, Fiyero gets a promotion. L5 will come in no time.

When Yttrium gets home, it’s time for some speedy romance. They’re the same age, they both have 8 days til adult, and Fiyero’s parents are over 90 (on a 100 day lifespan) – so we need to get cracking on the baby!

They take a romantic photo, for us to put up on the wall next to Jess and Chance’s one – I may try to make this a thing…if my game allows us to keep them, that is.

Yttrium is thrilled with the proposal, fast as it is.

Naw, synchronised swooning.

PMSL, and the first wish Fiyero rolls after getting engaged? Pillow fighting, of course. He’s always rolling these wishes. Boy is obsessed with pillows.

Since we did an indoor wedding last time, I’m going to try for an outdoor one tomorrow; if it’s not raining, that is.

Chance finally fulfilled his wish to max gardening, good work!

It’s Boq’s birthday!

As expected, he’s an alien. He’s pretty cute, though, even has pointy ears! I chose to leave him with a buzz cut; I think it suits him. As a reminder, his traits are Evil and Friendly, which seem conflicting to me, but hey.

And it’s about time for Yttrium’s title card; her name is pronounced “ee-tree-um”. Her favourite colour is grey, meal veggie spaghetti and music pop. She’s so pretty!

Yttrium gets straight into the garden, showing off our new scarecrow, and the very nice view from the lot.

Fiyero interrupted her, deciding the car would be a great place for their first woohoo.

I added some grey to Fiyero’s new bedroom, and I love how it turned out.
Once Yttrium has maxed the science career and unlocked indoor plumbing, we’ll be building a new house (with a bathroom!)

Chance is teaching Boq to walk. I love his car-print shorts!

Boq needed a food break, and Jess swooped. Really Jess, in front of the baby?

*sigh* and guess what interrupted? I swear, if he gets pregnant again…

Story had twins! I don’t know if I showed you guys the pregnancy popup, but anyway. Fiyero’s bff now has twin boys.

Fiyero and Yttrium’s romantic photo goes up on the wall next to Jess and Chance’s.

Toddlers are always cute when they’re asleep.

Fiyero starts on the second part of this generation’s mini-challenge; discovering all the potions.

He discovers one so quickly (sleeping potion), that he’s able to deliver the palladium to the science facility before work.

Yttrium is also up early, and has decided to work on the car. Good thing, too, she needs handiness for work.

That is easy, we have life fruit in the fridge.

And this is why Jess bought the heart-cut pink diamond when she saw it at the consignment store. But first, it’s time for Fiyero to go to work.

Uhm…that’s a weird opportunity. But sure, we’ll do it.

For some random reason, Yttrium has the day off work. So she’ll take the time to help train Boq, and brush up on her own skills.

Hey, we have another gnome! I have no idea where this came from, but yay, witch gnome. Her name is Kelly, after Kelly Clarkson.

Fiyero is buying up some more property in town; this makes 7 fully owned and an additional 2 partnered.

Dammit! We will not be raising this baby. Fiyero is going to have his own shortly, we don’t need another member of gen 3!

Very lazy wedding setup. When we can throw a party, it will be better.

Insane Fiyero has chosen to wear his PJs to get married in. Oh well, at least it’s not swimmers or tighty whities.

LAMO, both Chance and Jess rolled the same wish the second the wedding was done. That’s the next order of business, guys!

Uhm…this won’t be the first woohoo? First as a married couple, first when Yttrium has his surname, not actual first. Anyway, free lth, woo!

The first thing Yttrium chooses to do after getting married? Play soccer, of course. Oh, Sims.

Harley Quinn has moved in with Dixie. So Lavender is the only one still living in the house I placed all four potential spouses in.

Hey, Tam is still in town! She’s not been very active lately. But now she has a new RI. 🙂

Yttrium chose the location for the first woohoo. And apparently Fiyero thinks this is a more formal occasion than his wedding. LOL, their glasses look like sunglasses in this light.

And now the glitches start again; Yttrium can’t go to work; it says she has work in one hour until 9am, then it resets to tomorrow. And she drops her queue if I tell her to Try for Baby (the above photo was a regular woohoo). Resetting (both normally and with MC) hasn’t worked, nor did moving her out and back in. I’ll have to google some more things, to try and fix it.

So we’ll end the chapter here.
