Life in BC - Round 1 - Baldwin
I'm playing Belladonna Cove, with each family getting played for 1 season. In alphabetical order. Because that's how I roll.
Isabel is doing an impersonation of me playing Sims 2. Because I am finally making myself play rather than get distrated by retexturing yet another hair.
This is Isabel's "gaming is srs bsns" face. Which isn't all that menacing or serious. She is pretty. And appears to be of the "Melissa Fancey face template" variety, but still v. pretty.
Having never played a family living in an apartment before this, the little things like banging on the wall to shut up noisy neighbours and listening to the neighbours through the wall fascinate me. Or they did at the beginning. This is Sofia's bedroom and she keeps getting woken up by noise from the bathroom next door. They must have noisy pipes in this fancy shmancy 2K+ in rent per week apartment building. And the landlord keeps saying that there is nothing for him to fix on the lot. FIX THE DAMN BATHROOM PIPES!!!!
This is the smaller of the two sprogs. He has very little nose and a lot of chin. The lack of nose comes from daddy but I have no idea where he got the sharp curved chin.
And this is the other sprog, Sofia. Who is going to be a ballerina when she grows up.
Sofia: WTF woman, don't I get a say in this?!?!
Nope. I want a ballerina.
And this is the partriarch of the family, Benjamin. And I desperately needed to change my default eyes. The Rensim ones just weren't doing it for me.
Benjamin needed to gain a logic skill point. And I totally managed to miss the fact that they have a chess set on the balcony so I bought him a telescope. They have loads of money so he got the 'spensive 'scope. He promptly found some galaxies and other crap and recouped the money spent on the telescope. *pats on head*
Oh look! New eyes! I like these ones :) Suit the more maxis-match game much better.
Isabel and Marcus continue the tradition that appears in my game, regardless of the flavour of it (ie. TS2 or TS3) and manage to do all the skill learning in close vicinity of the potty. She taught him to pee, talk and sing the nursery rhyme in that spot. And then played peek-a-boo with him in the same spot for good measure.
A better look at Sofia. Who is basically Isabel with black hair. I think she might have Benjamin's eye shape, though. Isabel's eyes have the top lid apex closer towards the nose.
Isabel never gets to leave the house so I sent her to a newly refurbished Waylon's Haunt. And by refurbished I mean I plopped down some pot plants, installed a cooker, dish washer and greeter's podium and called the whole thing a restaurant.
A very pregnant Ana Patel shows off her card playing skillz. Why does she have to have a surname so far down in the alphabet??? I want to see the baby!!!
Ana and Isabel were joined by Kimberly and Samantha Cordial. The witch-wannabe sisters are total card shaps. They cleaned out Ana and then another sim that joined the table. Isabel barely managed to stay in the game.
Isabel'stotal lack of poker face might have something to do with not winning any hands.
Marcus then aged to child. He grew more nose and more chin. He's quite cute.
Managed to catch an "artistic" shot of Isabel getting up early in the morning while Benjamin continues to snore away.
Now that Marcus is a child he can have friends outside the family. This is Isaiah Gavigan. Who agreed to play cops and robbers then proceeded to shoot up poor Marcus, then promptly left when Marcus fell down mortally injured.
As Isabel took care of teaching the toddler skills, Benjamin the scientist taught both kids to do their homework.
*facepalm*
*double facepalm*
I heard jingles. So much for "since Free Time not every abduction results in a pregnancy". Yeah, right!
Isabel finally managed to score a job in the Education career track. They could use a magic bookcase now that both of the kids are at school. And there is another kid on the way.
Sofia aged to teen.
She is going to be a pretty pretty ballerina.
Sofia: *suspicious* You changed my LTW, didn't you?
Nooooo... Why would you think that?
She rolled fortune. I can't remember her secondary aspiration. Possibly doesn't have one due to lack of points.
The 2 kids do a lot of smustling. Autonomously. Which is good because if they have high dance skill they get a uni scholarship for it. Dance, children! DANCE!!!
Marcus is addicted to brushing his teeth. His armpits smell like the 10th level of hell because he never bathes or showers. He just brushes his teeth. Over and over and over and over and... you get the idea. By the time he's a teen his body will rot away but he will leave behind a perfect set of dentition.
Isabel is a good mum. Even if she is sometimes a bit inappropriate in showing her love for the kids.
I had her take the kids to the park so they could have some fun on the playground.
And Samantha and Armand managed to fall in love despite the fact that she was talking to Marcus and he was talking to Blondie Teen. THEIR LOVE IS TRUE AND WILL NOT BE HALTED BY SOMETHING AS MEANINGLESS AS NOT BEING ENGAGED IN ANY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH ONE ANOTHER!!!
And then it was time to go.
Isabel: I disapprove of this unauthorised snogging.
I guess the rest of the rotation will have to be played purely on home lots because I want to get to know the sims in BC and play around with their back stories without having them go off on weird romantic tangents thanks to ACR.
Inappropriate Neighbour With Alien Ears and Alien Eyes: When you're all grown up your milkshake will bring this boy to your yard!
And then the season rolled over into winter. The baby birth cliffhanger is not intentional. It's just time to move on to the Cho family.
