Heading over to the Team Winston lot ...
More founders who don't hate each other! Yay!!!
It is that time here so lets get to it shall we?
Amie drew Franklin Dodson, a fun loving Aquarius who really is old enough to be her grandfather. It doesn't look like that bothers them much.
Oh. I like her.
I really like her!
Winston: Lilith, I want tell you I know I am hopeless, awkward and in all other ways romantically inept. I accept full blame and responsibility for all frustration I have experience, both here and back in Pleasantview. I know things would have gone very different for us if I had worked up the courage to approach you first.
Winston: I suppose what I am really trying to say is I forgive you for sharing your first kiss with Caelan.
Lilith: That's great and I'm glad but ...
Lilith: ... there was a glitch and it didn't count!
Winston is a very happy man.
Look! Another box with a slightly different porch!
And it is slightly different inside too.
What the occupants of the box do once getting inside doesn't seem to be much different though.
Like, at all.
Painting! Again ...
Whoa! Hold up. WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN!? There was no lullaby, no pop-up ... explain!
Franklin: Old, but I still got it!
Round about then I got suspicious .. plus, you know I needed to get Amie a new outfit because, yeah, no morph. So I did some checking and ...
Lil got a new outfit too. Apparently just in time.
Stop that! There will be no more belly rubbing in this house until I get proper lullaby's and pop-ups!
And with this completed painting Lilith has unlocked utilities!
Water tower and solar panel! A day sooner than the other team as well.
Meet Sabrina!
Amie: Frank, could you just hold this baby for a minute? Like NOW!
Wait a minute ....
No, no, no, no, no! I checked even! This is not what it said! I do not authorize this, young lady!
Amie: I can't explain!
Amie: And it isn't like I can just hang on to him for later!
Twins. Fricken' TWINS! The pregnancy scanner did NOT say twins!
grrr!
This is Spencer.
Moving on. Winston is writing his first novel!
Hand up everyone who has ever made that face while writing! *raises hand*
While Winston writes, Lil is getting in some baby practice. I realize she is not supposed to be a family sim, but she never really struck me as a Pop sim. It just never fit her personality for me.
Remember how I said Winston is a fail Family sim? There is the proof! Seriously. Skill point, bookcase costing at least $650 and for Rythe to meet aliens!?
And he has the "Knowledge sim disgused as a Family" LTW as well!
Lilith is not a fail family sim. Her wants are a little sketchy, but I forgive her when she feeds other people's babies all on her own.
Hang on ... Lil, you might want to rethink getting the baby a bottle out of THAT fridge.
Lilith: As if I would give the baby beer.
I was far more worried about the ketchup.
Random exhausted/eureka! moment.
Lilith: Hello! Waving from the bathroom! You know where this is going.
I do. And there better only be one!
O.o I don't even ....
<insert caption of your choice here!>
Meet Virgil Talbot. I swear the names are randomly selected as well!
And look! Winston finally has family sim wants!
Though he did wait until after he had used the toilet to notice he had a son.
I don't get it either Lil.
AH! It's an infestation! Call the exterminator!
Sabrina: I want a real family
The babies aren't ignored. I swear. They just ... yeah. It's complicated. Let's just say Lilith has to sleep sometime and leave it at that.
*sigh*
Lil? Whatcha doin?
Lilith: Getting some help before I go crazy.
You do realize that the only person who may have been qualified, and that was in a totally other life, is already here, right? You married him.
Lilith: Totally a different kind of help needed.
Lilith: Ripp! Save me!
Ripp: I am going to regret coming over aren't I?
Lilith: I really, really, REALLY need your help.
Ripp: Yup, regretting this.
And yet he agreed anyway!
So, while you glance at this image, in which Tybalt is swooning inappropriately, and obviously means there is another wedding in the works, I would just like to point out that I wavered. I thought about it for a bit and I though "Huh, it might be interesting if I let Ripp have the chance for something other than what I had planned for him ... eh, why not?" and took him out of that small select group with pre-selected spouses.
I rolled dice for this and everything!
And he got the green little shit anyway!
They will be business owners, because that is what Ripp rolled up.
I haven't worked out what kind of business yet.
Maybe a bookstore/art gallery since that is what they will have access to and we haven't unlocked non-crafted items yet?
Random pic of Tybalt is random!
And the house settles into a routine.
Lilith holds a baby while Amie complains about stinky diapers and Ripp and Tel get all gropey/huggy/stalker.
Do I have to tell you who those belong to?
Productivity!
Not productive.
And it better stay NOT productive.
Winston finishes his first novel!
Yay Winston!
The cover doesn't seem to fit the book though.
There were a lot of these. I will spare you the rest. Suffice it to say, babies grew up.
And those other than Ripp and Tel got huggy.
Someone want to tell me why Spencer is naked? Anyone?
Lilith's first novel!
I am a bit concerned about the plot line ...
Winston's second novel concerns me more though.
More productivity.
Conversations that could potentially do damage to young minds.
Out of curiosity, I checked Ripp and Tel's LTWs. Which, are exactly the same ... and exactly the same as their LTW in the Pleasantries hood.
These two might actually have a shot at going permaplat in this challenge!
Oh yeah! 41 sim minutes to dream date. This is going to be easy.
And, I leave you once more with a picture of a toddler!
Virgil did not get a proper birthday :( there was a traffic jam that kept Lil from being able to reach the cake with him for a very long time.
Week one is done with Team Winston in the lead with 16 vs Team Rythe's 14.
All things considered it was a pretty easy start ... and I have totally just jinxed myself with that.
Ripp? Why are you getting up in the middle of the night when you are still tired?
Ripp: When you gotta go ...
I am getting a sinking feeling about this.

Date: 2012-11-16 05:23 am (UTC)Tybalt is ... being difficult. I haven't actually decided if he is part of that "special" group yet .. and then Felix went and made thing uber complicated and ... I am getting ahead of myself, that is in the next update, so I will leave this with "I donno!"
Which drop off? The one at the front of the lot or the one at the back? lol
