Fair Dinkum Flamingos Chapter 13

[joandsarah]

It's been a long time since I uploaded any kind of story. The last time I updated my OWBC was the 23rd Aug, 2011. *ouch* But I've been feeling guilty for always going past some of these old families to go play other hoods or to build, and I do love them, I just lost the motivation to write them up. The OWBC was always the easiest to upload seeing

Yay for an OWBC update! :D

[joandsarah]

Jo, you're so quick. I saw you had left a comment just as I was heading for bed

[seventeentheye]

I think that it's because of the Australia and Portugal time zones - there is an overlap in waking hours for both of us (that doesn't happen with Portugal and USA time zones, not sure about Australia and USA). :) I saw your comment on my LJ and then your new chapter, immediately went to read it and wrote a comment as I read it. That was around midday my time

[joandsarah]

I posted at about 10.30 pm my time which is probably early morning for the US. Interesting to know you were at mid day.

Those garden plants were at very healthy level from Peach talking to them, so I am sure it is how many of those verses how many 'trash piles' you have. But when your kids leave for uni you can take away the flamingos giving you more of a chance of a well.

You know I hadn't thought too much on how all those aliens are related but you're right. Blyth's alien kids would have the same poly tech father as Coal and Clover. Okay that doesn't bare thinking about too much! O_o

I do love them as a couple, the whole I am starving in unison thing was very funny. But darn it I have to find them things they can't leave so easily. So the violin will be swapped for a piano. I have a one tile one that should fit. I did use a days commands giving them a date and drinking elixcer, that as probably the day they both said they were starving.

Aww, so lovely to see them all again!

[Spoiler (click to open)]Mingo looks great in the hat! I didn't know that's what happened to magical Servos.

Hiii Peach! :D She does so well at looking after them all.

I love the house, it looks great and actually looks like it can hold that many sims, without being a huge mansion. That's a lot of flamingos, too!

Wow, how do you play with so many uncontrollable sims, I'd find it so hard! Most of them seem to do pretty well though, and I love Opal and Paisley's smustle, very cute.

Oh wow, Cole is adorable!!! Eeeee. And Oz grew up well, what aspiration did he get?

Well done on the bug box, I never did fill one of those. Hopefully they'll get more challenges done now there aren't any toddlers to distract them. :)

Great to see the Wonglepongs again Jo! :D

[joandsarah]

I knew you would be over here. :)

I love him in the hat.

She deserves a medal. The challenge would be a lot harder without her. Servos are good to a point but there never ending trying to serve meals and give bottles drives me to distraction.

It's slightly squishy now that Coal and Clover are kids, but bunk beds to the rescue! Thank you cc makers.

Isn't he just. :D And that was before I put on an alien default as well. So he is all Rolley + Maxis.

Were you doing bug me not? I'm not sure now if I need to fill one (Oz) or two more. I've always been a little foggy on gen 3's requirements.

Thanks Amy. :D

If you see nothing and no post on 'How is your story going' after a few weeks, give me a kick.

OH MY GOLLY! :D This was a pleasant surprise! So glad to see you back on the OWBC again. I have missed your funny commentary as much as I missed seeing the family! <3

You know, I never understood why Sims don't get skinnier when they go long periods without eating, or by just eating salad for a while. :/

I don't think there's any such thing as "growing into" when it comes to sims facial features. lol It all just seems to get bigger with age. >_<

Congrats on finishing the bug box! I have never done that. It's one of those things the Sims don't do autonomously and I'm just too lazy to remind them. Heh. (Actually I just REALLY hate micromanaging which is why I've yet to start an apocalypse challenge like I keep saying I'm going to do...)

I'm so thrilled you are going to make a push to finish this. It's really not much further now! Maybe Oz will win the heir poll and you'll only have to go as far as him turning adult. ;) Can't wait to see more.

[joandsarah]

Fuzzy! When I got up this morning I did wonder if anyone from the 'good ol days' would be around or bothered enough to comment. So I have a big old smile now

[fuzzy_spork]

Um, I think if you are doing the family scrapbook bonus then there has to be a novel from the last heir (4 novels total). It's been forever since I looked at the rules!

But can teens write novels?! You don't have Uni there, right? The challenge "ends" when the last heir reaches adulthood. D:

[joandsarah]

Yes I am. I've never had a teen write a novel, but I don't see why they couldn't. Maybe I should do an heirpoll now. If Oz wins he also has the bug me not to complete and that takes ages. Rolley is still working on his novel!

[joandsarah]

Thanks Ashley!

[leilia]

Yay! They're back! I'm so glad to see the Wonglepongs again! Crap, comment is crap. But I admit I laughed at Opal's aversion to clothes.

The kids look good and Cole is a cutie!

[joandsarah]

Hey lark! No worries, I'll just be tossing some picspam up here anyway. I bet Opal will take advantage of that mod I put in for my streaker over in my legacy hood. Think I'll be investing in some Vegemite jar censors lol.

Coal is the cutest alien I've had.

Thanks for commenting. :)
