Gaggle of Cities Part 4
Time for another WYDC update.
So, from where we’ve left off, babies C and D are now kids while their older siblings are teens. This means that they’re off for a vacation, but where? Before we can get to it, let’s have a look at the baby daddy tally so far:
Name Father Conceived at home?
Alexandria Husband (Forest Fossey) yes
Bandung Zombie (Owen Hendrix) yes
Copenhagen College Student (Aaron Wilder) yes
Dubai Genie yes
As the entire family prepared their luggage, a lot of questions arise. Where will the shuttle take them to? Will they enjoy their vacation? Most importantly, who will be the next babydaddy? Let’s find out, shall we?
Well, here we are in Three Lakes, where the first thing Alex did was to meet with a… ummm… interesting-looking tour guide.
“So, do people like you live in a place like this?”
“Look, kid. This place isn’t for the faint-hearted. There be monsters that can only be scared off by those who have mastered the art of scaring others with your face. And you don’t look like the kind who can do that at any second.”
“Can I take a picture of you in case a burglary strikes my home?”
“No.”
Aw, man. I might consider using the tour guide as a potential baby daddy, but this isn’t the main purpose of this vacation, though.
Despite the awkward encounter with the tour guide, Alex promptly fished at the giant lake. So far, so good.
Hiiiiiiii, Juan Harris!!!!!!!!!!
“Er… do I know you sir?”
Aw, man.
On a funny note, it seems that while Forest and the younger kids want to see the Bigfoot, the teens have that fear. Karen’s want/fear panel isn’t shown because she doesn’t have that want or fear to see the Bigfoot.
Well, here he is. Apparently, his name is Cody and he looks like he has Komei Tellerman’s face. Pretty nice, especially since I have to get that face into the gene pool of babydaddies.
On another note, Karen managed to find the map to the Hidden Burrow, but I didn’t bother to show it. Oh, well. At least she can get the Bigfoot’s baby.
Since I’m being silly, I brought the entire family over to the Hidden Burrow. It seems that all Cody wants is their money. Well, tough luck for him because they’re broke and the place they’re staying at is the only place I can think of so far that provides free lodging.
Forest: “Congrats on being potty-trained, Alex.”
Alex: “Why do you have to do this, dad?”
I literally struggled to get Cody do the Bigfoot hug (necessary to do the impregnation action thingy) on Karen even if they’re already friends. Since that interaction is only possible if Bigfoot is controlled, there’s no way I could do this immediately. In the end, I did an idiotic thing by moving him into the family, which is against the rules. I mean, I could’ve used boolprop testingcheatsenabled to control him for a while instead. At least he brought in only one simoleon. XD
Anyway, with the Tombstone of Life and Death summoned, I had Cody do the Bigfoot hug on Karen. And then I used said Tombstone to impregnate Karen with Cody’s baby. I ended up deselecting Cody, though :P
O.O Maybe I should take the picture on a different angle. I need some brain bleach as a result.
As the entire family goes back, Dubai thought that it would be a good idea to play on the hammock instead. He finally went back with his family, though.
Awesome! Karen finally found a map to the Pagoda of Hidden Shadows. Takemizu Village will be the next vacation destination (provided that they have the money).
Once the entire family came back home, the first thing I did was to move Cody out of the house. I even used familyfunds to get rid of the one simoleon he contributed to the family. XD At least the kids have the decency to bid him goodbye while their parents looked as busy as possible in the bedroom.
Ooooo… a chance card. I’m picking the first option just to see what would it be like to wear a costume to work.
Darn it! Stupid employers and my silly logic. *grumbles*
“Nooooooo!!!!!!! Why do these people forget about Halloween?”
D:
OK, OK. I have to say that Alex is the best older brother ever. Tucking in the kids is so awesome.
Geez, Karen! Why do you have to cause a fire in the house?
“Well, why do you have to order me to cook something I really don’t know how to cook? Are you trying to find a specific person or something?”
Good question.
Unfortunately, that specific person didn’t come. Why can’t it be someone else other than her? It’s not fair!
“Boohoo for you!”
Since someone caught a boot, I had Alex make a juice out of it. Let’s see how the results will be like once he drinks it.
Apparently, all he did was do weird stuff like dance and cheer for no reason. It was amusing to watch, though.
Oh, Alex. How much I love thee. Bringing in money through stargazing is just awesome.
I really can’t wait for Baby E to be born, seriously.
Since selling lemonade is vital to their income, I had Dubai sell it. At first glance, it seemed to work.
But some people happened to be too stubborn to buy some high-quality lemonade. Or they’re unsympathetic to the plight of poor people.
Do I find it ironic that Forest just exposed a con artist robbing widows while he himself doesn’t even know that his own wife is cheating on him behind his back? I think so, and this is just too hilarious to be ignored. XD
Great. Just great. With the TV broken, I need someone else other than the repairman to fix it.
Speaking of which, I had someone influence the nanny to repair it because I really don’t want any of my sims to get electrocuted. Besides, she deserves to get one for that little incident involving their stuff.
Unfortunately, she didn’t finish it, so I had Forest finish it. At least he didn’t get electrocuted.
So, it seems that Bandung has followed her brother’s footsteps by looking at herself in front of the mirror. So typical of teenage sims.
At some point during fall, Bandung decided that it was the perfect time to give birth to Baby E outdoors.
And may I present you Baby E, AKA Essen. She’s named after Essen, Germany.
On another note, Essen’s birth actually took place during Copenhagen’s birthday. Since I wanted a huge occasion, I threw a birthday party with a lot of guests invited.
Now here she is. Not bad at all, though the outfit and hair should change.
Copenhagen rolled Romance and randomized straight, just like her brother. On a weird note, their respective fathers happen to share the face template, but in Copenhagen’s case, she has her father’s nose while Alex has their mother’s instead.
“You! Make yourself useful and go meet your daughter!”
“But which one is she?”
“Er… good question. She’s the birthday girl.”
“I have a daughter? Wh… where is she? And what should I do?”
What should you do? Well, go meet her.
“But where?”
Find her yourself, moron.
“Hey, mom. Why do you look like a statue all of a sudden.”
“Er… nothing. Just thinking about someone who should’ve talked to you.”
“Who?”
Long story short, the birthday party ended with a “Not Bad” score, but Copenhagen didn’t get to meet her biological father. And the need for lighting has even reached outdoors. :(
And here is Copenhagen all made over. She looks really stunning, especially with the hair, makeup, and possibly the outfit, even if it’s strawberry-themed. XD
I sent Karen to hunt for bugs, but she ended up getting chased by bees. Oh, the humanity. When will she ever finish her bug collection?
“Mommy! Mommy! I got an A+!”
“Look, can’t you see that Mommy is resting here from a bee attack?”
“But…”
“No buts. I need to relax.”
It seems that crankiness is associated with bee attacks. *shrugs*
OK, I really give in. Despite the condition of the house, I invited the headmaster in. Apparently, he looks… rather eager to check the house.
“Er… I don’t think her family’s not private school material.”
Ahem! Look at yourself in the mirror, you hypocrite! Do you look like you’re private school material yourself? What kind of private school lets the headmaster wear an afro?
Headmaster Korey Howe: “So, I heard that you’re into art, aren’t you?”
Alex: “Sort of. My mom’s a seamstress, and I happen to like art itself.” Gee, mom. Why does he have to come here? Why do you have to be such a popularity sim?
Awkward conversation aside, the kids (excluding Essen) managed to get into private school. I guess it helps when you’re serving meals with the fish you’ve caught.
Anyway, let’s end the update here for now. Stay tuned for the next one.
