5.06 – Two Parties and a Funeral

Previously, Brillo Pad Daye was revealed as the winner of the spouse poll. Seaweed quickly went about removing his other four romantic interests, then he asked Brillo to be his girlfriend then fiancee. And before long, she was pregnant!

These pictures were taken a while ago, I’ve been doing jury duty for the past three weeks, then having to do some work at night, so haven’t had much time for simming/blogging. Hopefully we should be done this week, so I can finish writing up the rest of the chapters; still got photos for at least two more, possibly three.

Seaweed and Brillo are both thinking along the same lines, they’re more and more perfect for one another every day.

But that will wait until Brillo pops; she’s so big now!

These two are still in love also.

After some hot tub woohoo, they share the gardening duties. Even though it’s no longer required, and we have enough produce for new meals through gen 10, I like having the garden there.

Perfect timing, Brillo – Rad is a doctor!

Apparently one who has never seen a woman in labour…

Doesn’t matter, we still haven’t unlocked hospital births, so Brillo goes home to the newly-decorated nursery. It looks very bright in these pictures, not so bad in game.

It’s a girl! So our heirs will continue to switch genders each generation.

This generation’s musical is Chicago, and our heir’s name is Velma (oops, and her surname is Daye, since Brillo and Seaweed aren’t married yet). She’s insane and loves the heat, likes yellow, hip hop and mushroom omelette. This will be fun, none of the heirs have liked yellow as yet.

Cosette is the first one to her; she loves the babies.

Since sims magically slim down the second they give birth, makes sense to have a bachelorette party the same night Velma is born.

Brillo hasn’t even changed out of her maternity outfit when the party starts; the guests are mostly simselves and Seaweed’s sisters.

And the party dancer; his name is Jack Hammer. Lol, EA.

Party spam:

Cosette gave Brillo’s speech, and then soaked her with champagne.

Brillo promptly turned around and sprayed Sabrina.

Some of the guests made their way around the house; Julia and Charlotte talked in Cosette and Flamingo’s room.

While Sammy found the dartboard.

I changed her hair, and dyed it again, since I know she changes its colour often.

Neither of these two like to dance; they ignored the call, no matter how many times Brillo asked them.

Here’s Velma’s new yellow-fied nursery. It’s still bright, but I like it.

Also, we have a vampire gnome! My first one ever. I’ve stopped naming them, there are too many.

The morning after the party, Brillo returns to the bookworm we know she is.

And Velma started glitching; Cosette is putting her in the crib.

But she resets to outside (you can just see the pink cocoon behind the crib).

Buying a new crib didn’t help, so we had to buy a swing.

And, to prove how close we came, Brillo has her adult birthday the day after Velma is born. No midlife crisis, despite her being unemployed – guess it helps that she didn’t get married and have kids right after getting to YA.

Oh no, Flamingo! And just before the wedding, too 😦

Jess was out visiting, she was the first witness. Even if she did boo him initially.

Cosette came running over, and was devastated, as expected.

Before Grim had even left, Cosette rolled this wish. Not happening, sweetheart. Your age bar is maxed also, you’ll be following him before long.

Flamingo greeted Grim with a handshake; he fulfilled his LTW, maxed the fishing career and raised three beautiful children; he had a great life.

Seaweed tries to stave off the mourning with his baby daughter.

Cosette has the same idea.

The new grave is added to the family plot; since I couldn’t find a small fish decoration, he gets a mermaid as his token. Though as I’m writing this, I realise a fishbowl would be more fitting, will have to change that later.

Maybelle obviously takes her comfort in her girlfriend (they’re not married either, despite three children together).

Not much time for mourning, the wedding is planned for the next day. But Seaweed has a good cry while setting up.

Not too many flowers, Brillo ain’t much of a flowery girl, but we have lots of greenery.

And a buffet table, since I rarely use them and Seaweed wished for one.

Sean is the first guest to figure out how to door. Nice face, Sean!

We invited all the potentials; they’re all still friends with both Seaweed and Cosette, and Leliana is friends with Brillo. Penny suffers from perma-werewolf-ism; most of the townie werewolves also suffer.

Giles chose to walk through the wedding arch to get to his seat.

So impressed with how many found seats!

Okay, time for th-Rham! Geez man, couldn’t you find a better spot?

Vows spam:

Cosette watched from far away, unable to take part in festivities so soon after the loss of her beloved Flamingo. 😦

Also impressed with how many guests made it to the cake before it was cut! These guests are smart 😀

Not all of them, however. Eventually had to reset these two.

Sean, the cake bandit, is first to grab a slice after the newlyweds.

But most got it eventually.

Get out of it, Penny!

Dancing guests!

And to round out these very busy few days, it’s Velma’s birthday! Yes, the same day as the wedding; some of the guests are still around.

She’s adorable! Seaweed’s hair and skin, Brillo’s eye colour and huge eye shape that has been passed all the way down from Phoenix. Yellow and Spiceberry go very nicely together, so that’s what I went with.

Thanks for reading; until next time!

I have also updated the Downloads page, if you would like to grab Seaweed or one of the other Rourkes, you are welcome to do so – they are all confirmed 100% CC free, but if you want to match with the ones in my game, just ask about my CC.
