2.1

2-1

Sorry it’s been so long!  My son’s terrible twos have not stopped, even though he has turned 3, and my daughter’s birthday is the 21st of this month, so lots of things going on.  🙂  I also got back into GW2.

Okay, as usual, let’s recount chapter 2.0, refresh your memory, and mine.  So we had to start from scratch due to hard drive failures, and we have Genevieve and Riley.  Riley went over to the Sackholmes and checked out what was goin down over there.  Mason looked like he had/has decent enough genetics so ON THE SPOT, we (mostly her good looks and my I’ve-been-playing-this-game-for-fourteen-years skills) wooed the pants off him, almost literally, and they married.  Riley Ditched Mason and Gen to go off to college for a degree that’ll help her get further in the criminal career track earlier so that it won’t be so painful when she takes maternity leave.  Riley also mastered the Alchemy skill while in college and drank some fancy green stuff and turned into a witch! =o who saw that coming?  No one!  Witches are my favorite supernatural simply because their lifespan is the same as a humans and I don’t particularly like long lifespans.  We managed to build a house from stealing tons of things from the dorm.  Whatever, legacies are hard!  =P  On break from term Riley got pregnant for the first time and sold a whooole bunch of elixirs for extra cash.  She had a little boy named Seth and returned to university to wrap up her degree.  She almost burned down the whole dorm but everything turned out mostly fine.  Before graduation she went around turning things to gold and I sold them for extra cash.  Of course there was a huge fucking traffic jam so we didn’t actually go to graduate, we just got our degree and no extra trait.  >:c  laaame.  We ended off with Seth aging up and we got to see that pink hair from Genevieve!  Of course it comes into play this generation, where as none of her actual children ever freaking had it.  Of course.

Side note, in the save before the hard drive crash of 2014, all of Genevieve’s grandchildren save for like 2? had pink hair.  Somehow I think that’s going to be how it works this time too.

When I first loaded up I noticed we had close to §23K so I decided to tweak the house, make more room and what not.  I spent most of our money on a backyard area for future kids.

Only till after this picture was taken did I realize I forgot to CAS the swingset.  Woops.  I did it right after this was taken.

Screenshot-385

I haven’t re-installed Aurora Springs so I don’t have the rad baby gear, but we might as well do it in-person, only one baby this time.  😛

Screenshot-387

Well, these two are getting along great, if you were curious.

Screenshot-388

Built an entire new bathroom, and STILL, you piss in the grass?

-5.

Screenshot-389

The things this poor clock-light has seen.

Screenshot-390

“oh shit… ohhhhhhhhh shit.”

Screenshot-391

“This better not be what I think it is.”

There wasn’t a jingle or anything.  😮  did not see this coming.

Screenshot-392

I downloaded a mod that makes it funner for parents to teach toddlers their skills so they’re more likely to do it on free will, which made sense to me, so its there now.

Screenshot-393

. . . You’re just going across the back yard, do you really need the stroller?

“Yes, so I can imagine I’m actually leaving this damn house.”

Screenshot-394

“Pony!!!!”

Screenshot-395

She’s such a loving granny.

Screenshot-396

Riley popped during work.  Mason still has a wish for a girl so time to watermelon up.

I wanted to sell her elixirs but she kept getting reset when she went to interact at the register, so I just sold them from her inventory instead.

Screenshot-397

Days passed, nothing really happened except Riley kept gettin bigger and bigger.  She should birth tonight, I think.

Screenshot-398

“Gotta get you potty trained, Seth, we don’t want to be changing two baby’s diapers!”

Screenshot-399

I also learned that Riley could ask Gen to clean up, and Gen would go around and clean everything.  Yup.  Guess we’re using that interaction more.

Screenshot-400

The love is still strong.

Screenshot-401

A little too strong!

Screenshot-402

She walked all the way to the hospital.

Screenshot-403

At 11:46pm, Lucy Greywind was born with Loner locked in and random-rolled Neurotic.  Lucy’s favorites are Pop music, Firecracker Tofu, and Lilac.

Screenshot-404

At 11:52pm, Quinn Greywind was born with Heavy Sleeper locked in and random-rolled Virtuoso.  Quinn’s favorites are Rock music, Potato and Truffle Torte, and Hot Pink.

New Rule, I can change favorite color for my heir/ess because this purple/lilac/ whatever bs is driving me nuts.  I need variety!

Screenshot-405

Then she walked back home.  I mean its a couple of blocks, but still, its raining, and she has a newborn.

Only when we got home though, did I realize we did not have cribs for these two cuties.

Screenshot-406

“Sorry we moved you into the hall, lil man, but you didn’t want to be woken up every few hours by your sisters on the night before your birthday, did you?”

And that’s how I solved the space problems.  I also think that it’s high time we actually built a house instead of just throwing things together so I’m going to see what I can do on that front.

Also, Genevieve is 91 days old.  :/  If she survives this chapter it’ll be a miracle.

Screenshot-407

Seth’s birthday!

Screenshot-408

His favorite color is Irish Green but I didn’t want him walking around in all green, so his [everyday] outfit is mostly brown with a green shirt.  Around this time I had everyone get out of the house [I don’t think this counts as actions since I need to rebuild, and I’m not tending to needs or anything].  I decided to go with what tumblr tells me is Pastel Goth, which, in my opinion, is very Riley.

Screenshot-409

Here is what the house looks like when the sun hits it, and the sun only really hits it from the back.  It’s a pastel purple with lots of black and a cream color.  A lot of CAS was used during building this, a lot, because for some reason I put a whole lot of freakin effort into the houses for this family.  I ended up save/quitting and taking a few day break after building because geez did that wear me down.

Of course, I didn’t CAS everything, all the furniture probably looks the same because I just got eager to play after a while.

Screenshot-424

So this is the house, I tried to only use furniture we had, the only thing new, I think, is the bunkbeds I put up for Seth and anyone else, I guess.

Screenshot-425

Ugh. Damn IFs, I thought I got a mod to destroy you all!

Screenshot-426

“Hey, Seth, want grammie to read you a bedtime story?”

“YEA!”

Such a good grandma, please don’t die, Gen.

Of course, though, Riley has the only kids book in her inventory so that didn’t happen.

Screenshot-427

Figure I should include some shots of these two cuties, but they won’t be that small forever, so lots of pictures.

My daughter turns one next week, sorry if I’m feeling a bit all oo-ey gooey.

Screenshot-428

Mason’s a wonderful father, though, he takes care of the girls, and he’s not very much fun to watch, because he just… has hobbies?

He works out, eats, sleeps, showers (sometimes), and takes care of the girls.  He’s really calm and stuff.  I also haven’t made him a sim card, download, or new outfits.  :/  woops.  Maybe later.

Screenshot-429

Oh, come on Gen!  It’s right in front of you!  You have 34 minutes!  Come onnnnn!!!!

Screenshot-430

“Oh, so tired…”

USE THE TOILET, GENEVIEVE! GOD DAMN IT ALLLLLLLLLLLL

Screenshot-431

“I don’t have to pee anymore?”

Screenshot-432

Oh god….  :/

She died on Spooky Day…

Screenshot-433

Riley was very struck by her mother’s passing, and unfortunately, Seth’s never going to get that bedtime story..

Screenshot-434

Genevieve got a grave with lovely flowers and stuff, she didn’t get a fancy urn because, well, we lot her entire lifetime before so..

As it is, she brought in thirty points from the births of her six children, but also negated those thirty points with six self wettings.  So I guess she was the best founder for this ISBI?  I don’t know, I’m going to miss her so much..

Screenshot-3

I really hope the sparkly mailbox doesn’t mean IFs, because I am prettyyyy sure I had a mod to get rid of them unless I accidentally deleted it.

Screenshot-4

This is Mason’s first fail! 😮  Woahhhh.  -5 though, regardless.

MasonGreywind

And it was high time that Mason got a makeover and his own sim card, so I finally got down to that.  Of course, I was lazy and only did 4/6 outfits.

Then my game froze right after Riley mastered spellcasting.  So.  Yay.  For some reason though, the game keeps freezing and crashing on me, so I think I’ll end this chapter early and deal with it all later.

2 fails, so -10 points.

2.0

Unfortunately, in the hard drive crash, I lost my fancy title cards, so this is the best I can do for now till I redownload photoshop.

Last time : It was the last chapter of Generation One, we got a bird who doesn’t exist anymore, took a greeting card that doesn’t exist anymore, and got a dragon.  that doesn’t exist anymore.  Riley and Alex grew up and Riley got the torch, which is exciting, then I had 4 and a half chapters (5 was a draft and wasn’t queued) and my hard drive had to be replaced, point is….  We’re essentially starting over.  Still in Dragon Valley, but we only have Genevieve and Riley.  Since Genevieve’s birthday was going to be three days after Riley’s, I aged her up when they were in Create A Family so that we can get this show on the road.  Of course this means she’ll be dead soon. And tragically, this also means that we lost all our fantastic family portraits.  Its very depressing.

Oh yea, and I haven’t downloaded much CC, but I changed my default skin, and I don’t have Genevieve’s hair so.  I also lost her dress.  I haven’t gone through and installed much lately.  I’m lazy.

Screenshot-47

First, I switched lots.

Screenshot-48

And since we’re essentially starting over, that means, well, starting over. Gen’s tent is on the left, and Riley’s is on the right, we’ve got a tiny kitchen and a tiny bathroom, and a fire pit.

Screenshot-49

So here’s Riley, and that in the back is Gen, of course.  It’s time to go meet some spouse candidates.

MC says that Riley is +2 for Males and -1 for Females.  So… I assume if a girl is pretty enough, Riley would seriously consider switching teams?

Screenshot-51

“NO! I’M NOT READY, DON’T TAKE THE PICTURE!” First up, the Sackholmes.

Screenshot-52

“Okay, I’m ready.”  “Great, can I go inside and talk to your brother?”

Screenshot-53

“Hey sexy.”  “Hey sexy yourself, sexy.”

And so I think we found a winner!  Score!

Screenshot-54

*swoon* Oh yes, a winner indeed.

Screenshot-55

Meanwhile, in the bathroom I forgot to buy a light for, Genevieve plays on her phone.

Screenshot-56

Mascot.  Tada.

Screenshot-57

Portal.  Tada.

Screenshot-58

“Is it just hot in here, or just me?”  “It’s summer so…  ooooooh.”

Unfortunately my save was at the point where she was happily married and everything was amazing, and pardon me but I am so eager to get back to happily ever after.  Of course, it wasn’t with Mason..  But he’s pretty and not old!

Screenshot-59

Sookie, I mean, Susie’s jelly.

Screenshot-60

YAY, friendship!

Screenshot-61

“u so sexy” “no u so sexy”

Oh, stop.  Seriously.  Stop.

Screenshot-62

“A girl after my own heart!”

Damn right she is!

Screenshot-63

First kiss, hurray!

Screenshot-64

“So.. date me?  Exclusively?”

Screenshot-65

“Yea, of course.”

Screenshot-66

“I know we’ve only known each other a few hours, but…”

I have skills, done this a thousand times before.

Screenshot-67

“But what?”  “I have something…”

Screenshot-68

“To put on your finger, if you’ll let me?”

Screenshot-69

“OH MY GOSH, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!”

Screenshot-70

“Well, believe it now before the ring vanishes.”

Screenshot-71

“Wanna get married now?” “Ugh, my brother’s getting married in the kitchen, so trashy” = Susie’s Text.

Fuck you too, Susie.

Screenshot-72

And so, they were wed!  Happy day!

Screenshot-73

“Mason, hurry up, I want to show you to our teeeeent!”

Screenshot-74

“It’s on the right, now that there’s someone here to make sure mom doesn’t kill herself while I’m gone, I’m off to college.”

Screenshot-75

“So, you’re new, what are you selling?”  “Um.  I just married your daughter.” “Oh FANTASTIC, so you’re selling grandchildren!  I’ll take twelve.”

Screenshot-76

“NOW.”

Screenshot-77

“Okay, babe, take care of mom, I’m off to get a higher education so I can be rolling in money.”

Fun fact, Mason is in law enforcement, and Riley wants to be a super thief. And so we went to college!  Hurray!  This’ll be quick, I promise.

Screenshot-78

Yay University!

“I can’t believe I’ll be living with these people for like two weeks.”

If only University in real life was two weeks.

Screenshot-79

“There’s gotta be a job for me to do around here so I won’t go home broke.”

Don’t you have the Klepto trait?

“Why yes, yes I do.”

Don’t I have that free your klepto mod?

“Why yes, yes you do.”

Job taken care of.

Screenshot-80

She dropped her phone and cracked the screen.  Live with it, Riley, we can’t spend the §150 to repair it.

Screenshot-81

“Hmm, yes.  I will take all of this.”

that a girl, Riley, never know when we’ll need something to eat.  She went to that dayjob to grade papers and made §250.  We’re going to have to get a lot more than that if we want to finish out her degree.  😡

Screenshot-83

Went to a party, drank some then left.

Screenshot-86

This guy wet himself.

Screenshot-87

-5.  God damn it, Riley, I told you to use the potty!

But of course, the dorm only has restrooms on the second floor.  #Logic.

Then it was first day of classes and the boring parts started.

Screenshot-88

She ate a candy bar between classes.

Screenshot-89

. . . So I realized I could sell the furnishings in her dorm room for cash.  I bought her this then moved some of the facilities into her room so she never has to leave it, and also, so that she doesn’t have to wait for someone to vacate the shower.

Screenshot-90

I think she broke her arm.

Screenshot-91

“hey mason, just woke up, learnin new things is hard.  make sure mom doesn’t die, xoxo, r”

Screenshot-92

She does potions instead of studies because we have two weeks, she’ll be fine.

Screenshot-93

“Oh geez, it is not supposed to smell like that!”

This happens a lot more than I would like to admit.

Screenshot-94

She also works out.  Because criminal career means she has to be able to run away.

20-2

Awh, isn’t that sweet.

Screenshot-95

This is not so sweet.  I do not care if one of the roommates gets abducted.  :c

Every time I load up my game these days its because I’ve gone to find more CC.  I haven’t really gotten anything new for Riley to wear though, it’s mostly hair.  I’m very picky with CC clothes, I don’t slap just anything in my game.

Screenshot-96

Goodbye random roomie!  (this is a few days later than the shot above it, for the record, that’s why the trees are losing their leaves.)

Screenshot-97

“Oh yea, I’ma probe this one so hard.”

Screenshot-98

“Ohhh yea, fuck sleep, I’m ready to take on the entire world!”

This is a necessity for university, I’m sure.

Screenshot-99

Just makin’ elixirs.

Screenshot-100

This one is green.

Screenshot-101

It makes a green cloud.

Screenshot-102

Plot twist!  Riley’s a witch now!

Screenshot-103

I also found a different hair for her to help the transformation into witchhood along.  I don’t have anything else for her to wear that I feel suits her edgy, yet pretty cute personality.  She’s what tumblr would call “Pastel Goth” and I don’t have any clothes for that.

Screenshot-104

Trying to get that spellcasting skill up as quick as possible, but before I knew it it was time for her last round of exams and time to pack up her dorm room.

I swear I didn’t steal much from it.

That’s a lie, I totally did.

Screenshot-106

And with an A and an unrendered bathroom stall, we headed home to build a house and mostly furnish it with stolen things.  We bought Gen a bed and furnished a nursery, but mostly we just spent the cash we gained selling things at the Dorm on walls, wall coverings, etc.

And thanks to me downloading a shit ton of Patterns and Alice : Madness Returns conversions, this house speaks to me on a deeper level, like sure, the layout could be better, but by the end of it, I needed to start saving money, but its gorgeous, imo.

Screenshot-107

Here it is from the outside.

Screenshot-108

When you walk in you are greeted by the dining area and kitchen.  The door on the left is to Genevieve’s room.

Screenshot-109

Look immediately to your left and the living area, complete with nifty little shelves is here, along with a door to the study, more on that later.

Screenshot-110

This is the hall, off to the right of the Kitchen.  Straight ahead is Riley and Mason’s room, the left is the bathroom, and the right is the nursery.

Screenshot-111

Riley & Mason’s room.

Screenshot-112

Future child’s room.

Screenshot-113

Genevieve’s room.

Screenshot-114

First half of the study.

Screenshot-115

And the second half of the study.

Screenshot-116

“Can’t believe I’m married!  Shouldn’t there be a ring here?”

Screenshot-117

“There’s no sink, what am I supposed to do with this bowl!?”

Sorry, Gen, that’s my bad.

Screenshot-118

I figured we’d knock one of her wishes out while we were home…  The baby wish.  😉

Screenshot-119

Gen, you are right in front of the toilet, shoo Mason out and get you business done.

Screenshot-121

Or not. -5.

Screenshot-122

Hmmm wonder what’s goin on with Riley.

Screenshot-123

“Again!?  This isn’t fair!!”

Screenshot-124

“Oh my god, I can’t do anything, I feel terrible!”

Screenshot-125

Ugh, I had Riley upgrade that toilet to self cleaning but I guess it needs to be cleaned first before it starts doing it on its own?  #frustration.

-5.

Screenshot-126

Welp, who didn’t see that comin?

Screenshot-127

I placed the alchemy shop so she could sell her elixirs, and then somehow we ended up camping out here?  It was just convenient?

Screenshot-128

She just kinda stuck around there for a full twenty four hours.

Screenshot-129

She picked up a few things.

Screenshot-130

“You didn’t see a thing, understand?”

Screenshot-131

When she finally returned home she stank, and had to fix the shower.

Screenshot-132

I changed Gen’s hair and hair color because gray just doesn’t suit her, but dull/grayish pink works better.

Screenshot-133

“Okay, Fishy…”

Screenshot-134

“OH CRAP, OH CRAP!”

Screenshot-135

“Whew, I survived.”

Screenshot-136

“Oh shit, I vaporized the fish.”

Screenshot-138

… Gross.

Screenshot-139

“Don’t worry, I’ll change it.”

Screenshot-140

Happy couple doing happy couple things.  It’s Leisure day.

Screenshot-141

No clue where Gen is going in her long john jamjams.

Screenshot-142

The berrified sims 1 mail carrier.

Screenshot-143

“OHHHHHH, hairy llama balls, that smarts!  Mason, I’m in labor!”

Screenshot-144

“We’ll put the baby riiiight over there-”

“NOW IS NOT THE TIME, RILEY!”

Screenshot-145

This is our first of Generation Three : Seth Greywind.  Couch Potato and Clumsy, and his favorites are Epic music, Vegetarian Grilled Salmon, and Irish Green.  He’s also a Taurus.

Screenshot-146

Parenthood, adorable.  I downloaded tons of stuff for infants, but I haven’t installed it all just yet.

Screenshot-148

The fighting over Seth begins.

Right after this Riley headed back to University to quickly wrap up her degree.

Screenshot-149

Back at her dorm I touched it up a bit, since we only need a toilet and shower, since she makes her own food (apples) and uses elixirs for combating sleep, I kind of cleaned it out.  I brought a few things from home.  I’m taking that kitty stereo with us when we leave, I love it.

Then I decided to see if I could get her a cuter outfit going on.

Screenshot-150

Here’s her new look.  I’ve got to get some more clothes into my game.  :/  I’m sure her hair and clothes will change again once I do.

Screenshot-151

I got her the magic hands LTHP Reward.  😀  She’s gunna be a total bad ass.

Screenshot-152

Umm…  Maybe she’ll be a bad ass later?

Screenshot-153

Just gunna magic away this puddle..

Screenshot-155

Really should have thought this through more…

Screenshot-157

Oh shit, I really should have thought this through more!

Screenshot-158\

Okay, no need to fear, we can totally handle this.

Screenshot-159

And then she put the fire out.  Whew.  I need to think before I act more.

Screenshot-160

Finals!

Screenshot-161

“Uh… did you make that piss puddle?”

“I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!”

Screenshot-162

“Gunna take that as a yes.  Guess I’ll have to punish you.”

Screenshot-163

“I don’t understand!!!”

“Yea, you won’t.”

Screenshot-164

“Let that be a lesson to all roommates who leave a gigantic piss puddle.”

After turning things into gold and selling them for when we get home I went to check up on roommate guy.

Screenshot-166

-_-  Guess we’re not getting a statue for the yard.  Man, though, that’d be a gorgeous collection.

Screenshot-167

She got an A, of course.

Screenshot-168

 

The traffic jam to graduate is just ridiculous.

Screenshot-169

Okay, everyone off to the right please, I need Riley to get into that building and get that 6th trait.  :c  because in the last save she didn’t.  And I felt ripped off!  Not this time!

Screenshot-170

She moved, but no trait or diploma…  :/

Screenshot-174

Yes, Riley, there is snow.

Screenshot-173

But no diploma.  😦

Screenshot-203

I installed all my infant things and lo and behold, Seth has pink hair.  Also, back from university.

Seth is a watermelon.

Screenshot-204

Please do not burn the house down….

He didn’t.  Thank the lord.

Screenshot-205

Marriage Exercises.

Screenshot-206

Magic, while Genevieve gets in the way.

Screenshot-208

I was just two seconds too late, but Mason almost tripped and killed Seth by smashing him into the wall.  Don’t worry, the baby is fine.  I promise.

Screenshot-211

Cake time for Seth, our teeny watermelon.

Screenshot-212

He’s adorable, and I’ve decided this is the perfect spot to leave off for this chapter!
