RBPV 7.0

[genlisae]

Last time in House Harrell Dominick aged to adult, Mitzi and Stuart grew into childhood, Wilford aged to teen where he rolled up an unlocked career (he's going into Law), the gypsy dropped off a lamp and Dominick wished for wealth. Almost immediately following the wish a burglar showed up unlocking burglar alarms, positions in crime, law enforcement and law when the cop won the fight! Both Rosica and Alexander rolled up wants for 10 children and I agreed to go for it ... along with devising a plan to make sure they get there as quickly as possible. We are still waiting to see if said plan worked. Wilford met his wife to be Dena Patrick .. who promptly made out with Alexander .. and no one cared!

While all of that sinks in, lets take a moment to meet the remainder of the gene pool.



Originally there were 16 members in the gene pool, 8 men and 8 women. This is what remains of the men.

From left to right: Tate Maddox by lovelyxwow , Arlec Chino, Veslin Wilder and Greg Prime (with different hair) by chillyzgrrlsims  .

Tate is a recent addition when I realized I was down to only 3 and not even out of gen 1! I should also mention that in all cases where a name (first, last or both) is missing a random one is selected from here.



On the girls side, and I feel I should mention this side is being rotated on a regular basis, I don't know anymore how many times I have added girls because there are soooo many boys being born, again from left to right:

Lydia Ross by lovelyxwow  , Penny Dinkleberg by holleyb76  , Spinel Sturn by bolob  , Amo Chan simself of amochan8878  , Claira Tempa, Leigh Blake by lovelyxwow  and Evelin Tempa.

I am going to head out on another gene pool populating spree here in a few days because yeah, not out of gen 1 yet! IN the mean time if you have a sim or two you would like to see abused appear in this challenge let me know! I am looking for both genders now.



Back at the challenge proper, these taxes are really getting quite painful.



Wilford is very creepy when he sleeps.



Rosica: Yooo Whooo! I hope this plan of yours works because I don't want to do this again!

You and me both, Rosica!



Please work, please, please, please.



Rosica: Umm, oh boy, yeah, I think this maybe worked too well!



*headdesk* Anyone wanna play count the spawn?



Meet Jarret and Jason.



And Jordan and Janelle.

Which one is which? I have NO idea except Janelle is the girl. Cause we needed three more boys around here like I need more holes in my head. 11 children, 2 girls. *facepalm*.



Naturally the house now needed expanding because 4 really is that much more difficult to fit in than 3 would have been!



The Harrell's now have a second floor.



Wilford rocks as does Dominick. If they were not hovering around just waiting for one of the babies to need something they probably would have starved to death. It is all I can do to keep them all in clean diapers.



They were getting ridiculously broke after expanding the house and buying the extra cribs and Alexander needed money to make more toys so I had him wish for it.



No, you may not have a television, mostly because I have no clue where we would put it.



Yay! More positions opening up.



That is 2 slots each now for crime, law enforcement and law!



Dena??? Why are you here? Go home!



I was waiting for the time when there were so many bottles on the floor they couldn't walk through the kitchen anymore. It never happened. Almost! But no. I was sad.



I have this down to a routine where diaper changing is almost easy. Just so long as I remember to tell them to put the baby they currently have back in the crib before taking out a new one, otherwise it is baby induced foot stomping time.



This is what Stuart does most of the time. His fun hovers in the orange most of the time, except when he plays the piano. Then it is red :/



Mitzi amuses herself in other ways.



Rosica did fulfill her LTW, not that it mattered at this point, but she did it ... and I don't remember what skill it was that she maxed to do it :(



Yay! We can age up the babies to something less annoying.



No, I haven't been looking forward to this at all.



They are a bunch of cuties though, I have to give them that. I can tell you which one is which this time .. because I made sure they were lined up the same way as the list on the right there. :P



Super Quintuplets Caterpillar form activate!



HA! hahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA!! Oh gods! She's funny!



Yeah, no, I don't care if you are both rolling it. NO MORE BABIES FOR YOU!



Alexander: What is this?

Rosica: I thought the kids might like to play with it.



Alexander: I don't want these things in the house! They are dangerous and ...

Rosica: This is because Braden won that fight isn't it?

Alexander: No. This is because I don't want my kids electrocuted by toys which malfunction five times an hour.












I think Rosica's second LTW is equally doable as well. Too bad I am not adding LTW fulfills to the multiplier. Just plat gravestones.



Rosica: Actually, can we talk about the multiplier for a moment? How is it that I am a business owner and I can earn a multiplier point for every 5 ranks of business yet so can Chesly for his home business and he is a fisherman? It hardly seems fair he gets the business points AND his career points.

... You have a point.



Okay, how about this: All businesses can earn 1 point per 5 ranks and business owners earn their career point for getting all 3 gold business badges? Does that work?

Rosica: Yeah, that works. A bit more work for us, but hey, we end up earning them anyway just running the business.



Mitzi takes her turn at the cake.



And someone really needs to top sewing! It is an okay outfit but so NOT her!



Mitzi rolled up knowledge, an job from the unlocked list and a brand new future husband.



She also farted on the leftovers of her slice of birthday cake so I had Alexander encourage her up a few points of Active.



Well ... that certainly makes deciding which unlocked career she goes into easy! It also means we can now occasionally follow the children to school!



Yay strawberries!!!!!



They really couldn't have come at a better time, I think they were down to one fish left and no leftovers.



That is so much better!



So, Sally Tipple just let herself in to play with the clown-in-a-box.



Then she ran upstairs.



Because it would have made sense to use the completely unoccupied bathroom downstairs that was RIGHT BESIDE HER!



Then she just kind of stood there for a while.



I was pretty sure this was going to end badly.



This made me positive this was going to end badly.



NOW she notices! Rosica confuses me. No problem with Alexander making out with Amethyst at their wedding or groping their son's fiancee right beside her and the son in question, but the town drunk let's herself in and starts pawing Alexander and she looses it?



She really lost it.



A lot.



Then Sally passed out against the bathroom wall and got laughed at by a toddler.



I had Alexander apologize. Repeatedly.



Mitzi: Lady, you really need to wake up and leave now.



Rosica remained furious with Alexander in spite of a string of apologizing so I sat her down to study anger management.



Alexander? What are you doing?



Alexander: April, hi, I need to buy your services.

April: A date because the wife is peeved with you?

Alexander: No. Do you know the Murphys at all?



April: Know them? I have a strong urge to punch that Preston. Boy doesn't know the value of the service I am providing.

Alexander: So you will help me keep them from winning this challenge? I need something enchanted ...




April: Enchanting? I don't know if I can help you there. See the future? That I could do, but enchanting is not really my thing.

Alexander: Do you know anyone who can help? I am willing to pay.



April: Do penguins talk to snowmen? Of course I know someone who can help you. She is new in town and looking for any work she can get. This information is not free of course.

Alexander: Of course. Name you're price.

April: Excellent. Now tell me your plan and I will hook you up with her address.



Mitzi found her job!



Alexander continues his apology spree.



Rosica is still furious, but at least she will hug him again .. if she initiates it :/



Random dancing toddler pic!



I think Mitzi is going to make an excellent teacher.

Of course I wasn't aware chewing on fire truck wheels was a cheering event ... learn new things every day!



O.o Jarret has a mean streak.



Oh! With the fulfilling of a "Have 10 babies" want I can now download baby and toddler stuff! I found these previously undiscovered by me toddler mats and I love them! I had been using the ones by Ateveria, but these look so much more comfy and don't have weird lighting issues. They also take up less space.



Rosica, seriously, get over it. He didn't even instigate the situation and you have failed to care on any occasion when he did.

Rosica: So? I am still not sharing a bed with the cheating slime!



So she got stuffed in the unfinished bedroom on an old bed.



The next morning I sent her right back to studying anger management.



Only to find out I had clicked the wrong one and she had been studying couples counseling instead.



So I sent her back to study actual anger management this time and though it wouldn't hurt for Dominick (and probably anyone else who won't absolutely hate having to do it) study couples counseling because Sally Tipple lives in this hood!

Then I sent them to the toy store, of which I have no pictures due to complete fail on my part. To sum up what you missed while they were there:

Dominick earned $50 000 giving him a huge boost in aspiration and the milestone of halfway to his LTW. Both he and Rosica are now only 1 badge away from earning their career points for the multiplier. Amo Chan took to hogging the swing set ... naked and the business reached rank 9.

Once they got home again, the quintuplets had a birthday and grew into adorable kids ... which I still can't tell apart.



Roscia also managed to forgive Alexander.



They are back to being all 3 bolt stalkery.

Because I feel bad they don't have birthday pics, here are pictures of youngest Harrells.


Janelle, she is easy to tell apart from her brothers.



Jarret.



Jason.



And Jordan.

I have also downloaded more hair since there are a ton of repeats already. These guys may get new hair at some point.



I keep getting the feeling Stuart is forgotten about a lot. So, here is a picture of Stuart doing what Stuart does.



I think Mitzi is a closet family sim. She wakes up hours before everyone else and goes around tucking in all the children. It is kind of adorable ... and creepy.

It is also date day which means Mitzi gets to meet her intended!



Paris (by winterinverona ) seems a little confused by all this technical stuff.



This on the other hand is a topic he really enjoys. He's a family sim by the way, I checked because I had suspicions he was wealth so this will be the union of the sims with closet aspirations.



They get along amazingly well ... or maybe I am just still traumatized by the nightmare that was Nigel and Wilhemina and Noe and Aisy.



Oh yeah, Mitzi is a teacher to be alright.



Really.



She did manage to stop talking about school long enough to get her first kiss.

Please note how she is rolling no wants related to the date she is on. The date score was entirely up to Paris.



Of course once they got a high enough relationship for make out to be an option.



That was pretty much all they did.



Expect for this brief moment which I am convinced was on account of my silently sobbing "Nooooo, they can't be getting old already!"



Back to making out while Alexander wanders ... somewhere ...

Alexander?

Alexander: I have something I need to take care of.



Eventually the date moved inside where Mitzi made the whole pending nuptials thing official.



I had no doubt he would accept.



Red hearts while cheering for the piano. I like him, he's weird.



And so is she! A cleaning point for a date? Really?



Yeah, logic is not really something that applies at the moment.

Time to go see what Alexander is up to.









Velma: Can I help you?

Alexander: Alexander Harrell. April sent me.

Velma: You might as well come in then.



Alexander: Wow, this place has seen better days.

Velma: Thanks for stating the obvious. What do you want?



Alexander: I need something enchanted. A sort of protection spell you might call it.

Velma: April told me your plan. I would hardly call it protection. Being a vengeful dick would be more accurate. I am not usually in the business of revenge.



Alexander: I can pay you.

Velma: And that will do me what good? Do you have any idea how much this place is going to cost to fix? Even a generous payment form you for one spell would maybe fix a window.



Alexander: You can do more than cast spells though, can't you? You can also make potions?

Velma: Yeah, and?

Alexander: And my son is looking to open a new business, I can make sure he has a place in it for your potions on top of the VERY generous amount I am willing to pay you for helping me tonight.



Alexander: In fact, I think once I suggest it to him, Dominick might even be willing to go into a partnership with you. You could make a lot of money as co-owner of the only potion shop in town ...

Velma: I'll do it. Follow me.






Alexander: ... Is that glowy thing really dripping sparkles?

Velma: Yes. Don't touch anything. Most of this is stuff my grandmother left behind and I have no idea what it does yet.




Velma: Right, give me the thing you want enchanted and let's get this over with ... and don;t step into the circle. The last guy that did that .. well it wasn't pretty.

Alexander: Uh, right, no stepping into the circle.



Velma: A child's toy. Fitting.

Alexander: A dangerous child's toy. I don't even want to think about how dangerous the big ones will be. Can you do it?



Alexander: ... whoa ... I am going to guess that is a yes.






Velma: Hey little man, you should be asleep.



Velma: I think, maybe we are going to be okay. All three of us.



Velma: I just hope I did the right thing.



Jason: Dad? How come we can't play with this toy? Is it special? Did you make it?

Alexander: No. I wouldn't make a toy as dangerous as this one is.

Jason: It's just a toy. Toys aren't dangerous.



Alexander: It is. It is very dangerous. All toys like that one are but that one is more dangerous than most. You have to promise me you will not play with it or even touch it. Ever.

Jason: Aww .. but it looks fun.

Alexander: It will hurt you. Promise me.

Jason: I promise.



Meanwhile .. I am fairly certain this is how sibling rivalry turns to death matches. Stuart has some serios rage face going on there.



Dominick and Wilford have been pressed into service to help me cope with Alexander and Rosica aging.



Have I mentioned I really need someone to top sewing? Seriously. Of course they could be worse outfits, but these just don't make sense!



In case you wanted to know what dinner in the Harrell house looks like recently. It takes a while to serve all those plates!



Nooooooo! I can't put it off anymore.



*sigh* I am not looking forward to this. All I can think is "they will be my first sims to die of old age!"

Not joking. In all these years I have never had an elder sim die. Hell I have never had a sim die which I didn't fully intend to kill.



Somehow this all just seems so final. Like once they blow out the candles the clock is ticking. They did get all of their children (and official child-spouses) over for the event though, because they might as well enjoy the moment.



:(



On a more positive note, Wilford aged into an entirely appropriate outfit.

Stuart also got an outfit that seems to suit him, and a shiny new set of dice rolls. He rolled up family with artist as a career and he will be getting married.



Rosica: This isn't so bad. I don't look super saggy at least.

No. you don't. You wear the grey well. I do want to fix your hair though and Alexander's it just doesn't seem right for Rosica to be grey while his hair didn't even fade.



They got to enjoy their cake first though, and the company of their very large family.



Oh for goodness sake, Arron, I swear I did not leave you in low enough aspiration to be crying everywhere!



Darius and Bree are still adorable ... and still only have 2 bolts, not that you would know it.




And thus ends the 7th week in the main Harrell house. Next up is checking in with Arron, Isiah and Rebeka where I am hoping they finally get to have a baby.

For anyone else who is as lost as I am keeping up with who belongs to what and where, I have put together a family tree. There is one for the Murphy's as well and I will do my best to keep them up to date.
