hentaisatsuki is a life-saver -- she told me where to find the photos I've been taking with the Sims inbuilt camera. Sadly, the camera default is really small and cruddy, so it's hard to tell what is actually going on in most of these. Still, I can but post.
Meet the Batfamily. Batman is at the back, holding his toddler son Tiny. Then there's Batman's room-mate Nightwing, Batman's father, Alfred, and Nightwing's son, Robin.
First moves: In an uncharacteristic move, Batman opts to spend his first moments in game holding Tiny rather than check out their crappy house with the rest of the family.
Nightwing playing with Tiny. No, seriously. That's playing.
Amazingly, Slacker Nightwing is possibly the Sim who cares most about Tiny, as he pretty much always chooses to play with him if left to his own devices (this might change now that I've bought a television). Alfred comes a very close second, but Tiny remains fixated on Robin and Batman. Unless Alfred goes to sleep, and is thus unavailable, in which case Tiny wants to ask him for attention.
Speaking of Alfred, he has a job as a coffee boy, right? Except he almost kills a visiting exec accidentally and gets fired. He comes home and cries about this, so I send his loving son, Batman, outside to comfort him.
Yes, this is Bruce walking away. Alfred, meanwhile, continues to cry.
Bruce cooking a TV dinner. Notice the smoke above the oven? His aspiration is to learn how to make toaster pastries. I ... have misgivings about this.
Tiny was playing in the toilet again, so I sent Robin over to teach him to walk. Which he did. In the bathroom.
Aftermath of the Batman/Nightwing kiss. I almost missed it, I left them talking, adjusted the view, checked the others Needs and -- wtf.
Nightwing congratulates Bruce. I'm not exaggerating when I say they did this for two hours. It went like this. Nightwing congratulates Batman. ++ . Nightwing congratulates Batman. ++ . Batman congratulates Nightwing. ++. Nightwing congratulates Batman. ++ . Nightwing congratulates Batman. ++ . Batman congratulates Nightwing. ++. Until eventually Batman got bored and wandered off to play with the telescope.
My Sims all seem to be obsessed with the telescope. This is in the New House by the way. The novelty of making them slum it up in a tiny house wore off after Robin's fun meter got into the red, and I had no where to put the TV I wanted to buy him. Speaking of Robin though, he's just been spying on Mortimer Goth, who seems to be the regular Sims equivalent of Sophie. And Robin seems unable to stop spying on him. This is the fourth fight they've had. Actual blows were exchanged.
Robin getting cock-blocked.
Alfred encouraging Bruce to be serious.
And back to the Vaudelaires:
Violet gets her first mechanical point while Ash serenades in the background.
It's a sink! Violet is over joyed.
Also, when they first move in, Vimes is all wanting to play with his little brother, but Kieran is far more interested in telling Ash a dirty joke. Vimes gets cross waiting for Kieran to pay attention to him, so when he finally does, he irritates him instead. It was awesome.
