Dare 007 - Veronaville Asylum (Week 3)
Last time-
it was looking a lot like Christmas
Santa came and gave the residents a teddy bear
Which promptly got sold because I don't have anti-teddy bear annoyance hacks
The damn pixie stalked the wrong people and caused all sorts of drama
I showed off my mad skillz at making bad CC
Gah! Damn pixie Stalker!
We begin this update with Albany impaling himself through a wall while sleeping.
Yeah - no idea how that happened.
Albany: I'm still looking good, aren't I, Mr Mirror? That sojourn though the wall did no damage. At least not to my face!
Isabella: This counter is in my way of cleaning up this counter!
MOAR people are sliding into red aspiration and starting arguments. Although Oberon seems to have got himself out of the slump.
The Christmas decorations are still up and Bianca is worried. Also, Santa appeared for the second time and left them a lump of coal.
Bianca: My family... They're all crazy... And we're in this mad house with NO WAY OUT!!!!
Christmas appears to have brought out the feisty in Goneril. She's the one who stalks and pokes and shoves Bianca now.
Three cheers for role reversal???
I had Kent invite some guests for a New Year's party. This is how it started.
And the score just kept plummeting...
Even a toddler in a top hat couldn't save it.
It was kind of cute for about 30 seconds...
Then it just got tedious.
Not doing THAT again in a hurry!
Sigh... This is what you get if the party guests hate each other.
That's how it started and thus it ended.
Who woulda thunk it? A party in an insane asylum where all the residents and visitors hate each other's guts and it was a dud?
Well, colour me surprised!
Albany now glows when he reads the newspaper.
Also - please note the difference in collarbones from previous images. I have installed M&G Stuff and am trying out the new Maxis-match defaults by Leh on GOS.
Yeah, I know. Your party sucked big time.
Oh for Goodness' sake!!!
I think I know what she's doing. She's bloody sharing hobby tips, isn't she?
Goneril is still after Bianca.
Bianca: RAGE!!!
Albany: Ooooh! Camera!
Me: I'm really not sure about those skintones...
I guess Isabella is still unhappy about the whole Christmas fiasco.
Bianca: Looking at those two kiss is like watching an alien mating ritual. Or surfing the universe. Or something.
It's spring and all the openable windows opened :) I hadn't seen this hack in action yet. Me likey!
Also - like collarbones, not sure about face.
Sigh...
I really don't know why I take these screen caps any more.
WHOA! WHOA! Where the hell did that come from????
Well fuck!
No idea what happened but at least they're not in goddamn lurve any more.
I've decided that M&G broke ACR. This is the second lot of weird behaviour since I installed that bloody SP.
Two days ago a playable sim started making out with a townie he had just met. I made them both selectable
and checked - they had 19 daily and zero bolts for each other. He was in love with the female sim I had
partnered him with and had 3 bolts for her. So why the fuck was he macking on the townie he didn't find
attractive and didn't even like?
M&G might have broken ACR but damn those sunflowers are pretty!
Ignore the pixie. I did.
Bianca: You have been a naughty boy and broke the piano!
Albany: Spank me, Bianca!
Patrizio: I could go a round of grilled cheese right bout now.
Note the underlined word. How does playing the piano teach you mechanical skill?
I guess you two are back on. Exhausted all other options, eh?
Getting tips on cheating from Patrizio? I don't know about that. Isabella looks like she'd eat his spleen if he strayed.
Goneril has new hair. And she's waaaaay too excited about Isabella's piano skillz.
And we're back to my original defaults (ie. the ones I made).
I'm picky, I guess. And I think Bianca looks prettier in these than in the other ones. I like the way my sims look in the skintone I made for them. So sue me!
I just thought this looked funny.
These two were all BFF + play together and then then Goneril came out and Bianca's face got stuck.
Or maybe Albany made her another indecent proposal ;P
Albany: I would totally look better in a bright blue hat with a floppy brim than you would! Mr Mirror says that shade of indigo really brings out my eyes!
Patrizio: You suck.
Kent: I don't want to know about it. Must. Keep. Skilling.
Not drowning. Waving.
All the beds were taken so he went swimming. Smart.
Meanwhile, Albany continued to hang out on the playground.
And that's TWO skills maxed, ladies and gents!
Don't laugh at the passed out Patrizio, Albany. Believe me, karma will get you for this.
It really will.
* foreboding *
How is she the fittest and most popular one in the household?
Also...
I'll stick a fork in my ear and jiggle it around first.
Patrizio happens to be the least popular in the entire house.
I WAS CURIOUS SO I LOOKED!!!
Practice Romance + Kent = LULZ
You are about to see more of this toilet/bathroom than you ever wanted to see in your life.
My face would be O.O too if I was getting love advice from Isabella.
Get out of the fridge, Stalker!
They're super low on food, which is probably why Patrizio is low on grilled cheese aspiration points and is picking arguments.
Bianca: I've been stalking Kent all afternoon and now I'm hungry. Feed me!
Me: Fridge is over that way.
She got waylaid on the way to get food.
Twice!
Still no grocery delivery and the kitchen is full of sobbing, stinky females.
You know that toilet foreboding?
I call this "Patrizio's Revenge".
Keep in mind that it all started here, in the toilet, on Saturday night... Because it just goes rapidly downhill from here. Like a greased up monkey on a sled.
The Stalker: Congratulations on cheating on your boyfriend with my boyfriend.
Me: You're an idiot.
Bianca: My life sucks beyond redemption!!!11!!!111
She then went off to frolic in the pool so have some Bianca pool spam. This is your pleasant interlude before all hell breaks loose.
LOL Stalker! Hope Photobucket doesn't delete this one!
You can't even do a sexy pool interlude, Stalker!
Too chicken to dive in.
Albany: I need to use the toilet.
Patrizio: * dreams that he has an ass like a sumo wrestler *
(with thanks to the Spicolis)
Albany: You may be engaged to the weird stalker pixie chick but you're not a bad dude!
Albany: Helllooooo! Still need to use toilet!
Patrizio's victim numero uno.
Oberon tries it on in the toilet queue but Bianca is having none of it.
Oberon: * un-crushes *
Bianca: My fucking father is in the way of the fucking toilet!
Things are more desperate for some than for others.
Albany: Oh, Mr Mirror! We keep finding the camera in the kitchen!
Also - LOL package!
God, I'm in a weird mood tonight, aren't I? I usually don't swear and keep the dirty thoughts to a minimum - like zero!
Time passes and urgencies start becoming more urgent.
And Bianca faceplants in sparkly food for the second time.
Bianca: * loses control of bladder *
Victim numero dos!
Oberon: I tied it in a knot!
Oberon: If he doesn't move soon the knot is going to unravel * worry *
The knot unravelled...
TRES!
You've gotta love neat sims!
Oberon: floatprop particledensity 2 to you, too!
Oh crap!
This is some time around 6am Sunday morning.
Synchronised sibling bug killing FTW?
Double crap! Thank God there are a bajillion Family sims in the house making Grandma's Comfort Soup like it's going out of style.
New terlett queue. Longer.
Standing on Patrizio's gonads had no effect. Maybe if you stomped, Kent?
Quattro!
Pardon the bad Spanish spelling, I've never seen the word written down, just heard Dora the Explorer use it. Also - way to have an appropriate dream, Patrizio!
There was a lightning strike and a minor tree fire outside but the rain quickly put it out.
* Twilight Zone and Jaws music intermingle for a really creepy foreboding musical moodlet *
Things were getting desperate. Kent, my controllable, was nearing bladder desperation. So I sent him in to freestyle in the hopes that the noise would wake Patrizio.
But Patrizio moves for no-one. LOL Kent!
Isabella is cinco while Kent worries about his future father-in-law.
And now they do synchronised desperation actions. They are obviously meant for each other.
Seis and a fight.
I missed the moment but let's just say there was a lot of Stalker Pixie hate right about now.
I JUST GOT THEM BACK TOGETHER AND BACK IN LOVE YOU STUPID PIXIE STALKER BITCH!!!!
This is where extra grease is applied to that monkey and sled. It literally zooms downhill from this point on.
Bianca got struck by lightning while chatting to her mother in the hot tub.
So she got out and promptly lost bladder control for the second time in about 5 hours.
This is still Sunday. I play a week per update.
So she then climbs back in and gets struck AGAIN!
I swear on all that is holy that I have patched Seasons and this is a freak bloody accident and not due to lack of patching on my part!
And then it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Bianca is fucking dead. And the fracking palm tree catches on fire again. Then the rain stops. How convenient.
So now I have a problem. First things first.
I let the tree blaze away (see Goneril's legs amongst the flames?)
Isabella seems kind of unemotional in the face of her daughter's death...
Meanwhile, fucking Oberon is blocking Kent on the stairs, so he can't get out of the house to plead with the Grim Reaper.
Albany: I want to go look at the fire blazing around my wife and this goddamn dead body is in my way!
Way to go, Albany!
Kent finally makes it poolside and drops into the begging stance.
The blazing tree gives it a really good go.
Then settles down into a steady inferno.
I missed the BIG MOMENT but Kent won and Bianca comes back to life.
Only to stampede straight over to the fucking fire!
It would appear that Oberon was the biggest dill of the lot and stood closest to the fucking blazing tree.
While all that was going on, with careful stamping of queued actions to go panic at the fire, I managed to get Kent to call for emergency backup.
This is Sunday afternoon and panic at the disco while Patrizio STILL snores away (since Saturday night!!!!!!)
The fire chick is cute and rocking the geneticised Leh skintone. She was too late to save Oberon, though.
LOL
Death refused to acknowledge Kent's queued "Plead For Loved One". No idea why, he got there in time, but it was such a cluster fuck around that tree and Oberon's ashes that there was probably no way to complete the action.
Kent then autonomously apologised to Bianca. She should be bloody grateful to him for being saved!
Goneril does the deed...
There's no easel so there won't be a painting.
Bye Oberon!
This is just too twisted for words.
That's Kent sleeping there, by the way. And those are Oberon's ashes you can see through the window.
Herr Freud is shocked!
I don't know how or why, but Albany got Kent out of bed in the middle of the night and argued with him. I had Kent make nice then sent him back to bed.
It would appear that Patrizio finally got up some 24 hours after originally falling asleep. And Isabella won the toilet queue war.
And then it's Monday morning and the end of week 3. Kent continues to practice his charisma while The Stalker impales her face in the mirror frame in her eagerness to be with him.
With Oberon gone, I foresee The Stalker centering all her attentions on Kent throughout week 4. I've just about had it with this asylum. I'm on the verge of taking out my AL Fixes hack, having Kent study Physiology and letting him glitch!learn the rest of the skillpoints in one day.
I was so flustered at the end of that Bianca dying - tree on fire - Oberon fucking burned to a crisp fiasco that I forgot to give them a week 3 celebratory statue. Although I must admit I was guffawing and choking on sobs mixed with laughter as the whole thing was going down.
Founder Challenge 3 is coming for legacy_writers so I want to get this asylum out of the way before that starts. Which means week 4 update soon!
It's past midnight and I'm too tired to read through and fix spelling mistakes. Please bear with any that snuck in, I'll fix them in the morning.
ETA to fix some spelling mistakes and to add the skilling progress.

About 112 pics under the cut, some of them a format-breaking 600 pixels wide.
And I can haz warnings? Swearing - a lot! AND adult concepts!
I've gone freaking insane. You'll see why behind the cut.
