GENERATION ONE: 1.1
- - - - - - - -
Last update: Cevin and his family started settling in Sunset Valley after their move from Bridgeport. Serah was having problems making friends, while Jacob ran in trouble with the law for running an unlicensed bake sale. Nicki became pregnant and gave birth to the last Faron child, Mikey, which inspired Serah to become a doctor.
Delivering another child into the family was a pretty tiring experience, so Nicki sent the kids out to the pool so she could get some R&R. The kids were ecstatic.
Serah: Clearly.
Of course, unsupervised children tend to engage in pretty dangerous pool games.
Jacob: Marco!
But even at the neighbourhood pool, one cannot escape the leeches of fame.
Jacob: Try to get my good side, will you?
Serah: I hardly see how that's possible...
Jacob: Jealous much?
Cevin had to rush off to work the moment after Mikey was born, so he had to wait 5 hours just to hold the little guy. Totally worth the wait <3
But for the most part, babies are pretty useless. Cue in birthday cake.
Mikey took on a lot of Nicki's genetics, but I had hoped that he would have had Cevin's black-blue hair like Jacob did :( He was still fricking adorable to watch, because he was pretty excited about everything. He hardly got those blocks wrong either, thanks to his Genius trait. That Sea Foam color is going to give me hell when I try to re-design his room later however.
Despite her mini-freak out about her job duties the day Mikey was born, Nicki probably spent the most time with him. She practically breathed every inch of that nursery.
Nicki: When mommy gets to the Hall of Fame, remember to smile wide, mmkays?
Mikey: Pretty teeth!
I made life easier for Cevin and Nicki and hired a maid named Gage. So far he actually cleans, which is opposite of most stuff I've heard about maids.
Too bad maids can't double as handymen in this game. Things were breaking left and right, and frankly I was not amused.
Cevin: HOLY FUCK WHY IS EVERYTHING EXPLODING IN MY HOUSE?!?!?!?
My sentiments exactly.
They still had a lot of time to nom face, though.
They tend to roll the 'Spar with Someone' wish after they make out, which is really weird. A different kind of rough foreplay, I guess?
Serah was discreetly improving her chess game...
While Jacob lurked in her room and hogged her easel. Honestly, whenever I find him he's always in his sister's room and frankly, it worries me.
I hoped his room makeover would make it seem more appealing. I put a lotta love in that room, especially that Cheshire-cat inspired wallpaper, so he better freaking love it too.
Serah: Jake, I don't know what the heck you'd want to do in my room, but even I know of all people that it's not cool to hang out in your sister's room. It's like you're already assuming you're in charge of the whole house or something.
Jacob: Is that a challenge, Sis? Because if you feel that you really ARE half as ambitious, smart, and well, GODDAMN SEXY as I am to inherit the house, we could always compete for it...
Round One: A game of Tag.
Serah: How the hell did you move through that fence?!?
Jacob: My monkey shirt gives me super strength, but it doesn't save my ears from being ripped apart by your annoyingly loud voice.
Figuring that footraces weren't going to help her win, Serah turned to finding a lead in public relations.
Mikey: I wuvs hugsies <3
Serah: Yes, adore me, my little minion...
However, Jacob wasn't blind to Serah's sudden attentions toward their little brother.
Jacob: So like, when you grow up, avoid girls like the PLAGUE, because eventually they're going to try to steal everything you totally deserve. Plus they'll rip off your eardrums if you let them talk too much.
Mikey: No hugsies?
I'd have to call it a tie, so far. Also, notice the pink bed. He's in Serah's room. Again.
Later that evening, Jacob decided to try out his luck with the baked goods again, and took his table to Central Park. He remembered to get a permit for the bake sale, so it was totally legit this time.
Jacob: No freakin' vampire cop can stop me now.
In the middle of nowhere, Nicki randomly dropped Mikey and headed off to the Theatre to work. She only had like, three workdays and her maternity was so long, I lost track of her schedule.
Yumi: *sigh* All those rock stars and young people are into abandoning children nowadays?
No, I'm pretty sure that's not normal.
Thankfully, Cevin got out of work just in time.
Cevin: *yawn* Can I go home now?
It looks like Jacob's money-making schemes were in vain.
Jacob: But my monkey-shirt gives me super strength!
I think that only works if you say it like a purple dinosaur.
But it also looks like Serah won big at the fishing pond.
Serah: Score!
Yeah, you better snuggle his brains out, especially after you abandoned him out in the cold.
Nicki: Ignore the stupid commentator, mommy still loves you!
Foul language in front of the children? Classy.
Nicki: Shut up.
The kids looked pretty lonesome in the school bus the next morning.
Serah: I hope that ugly orange sweater doesn't blind the driver and make him crash into a tree.
Jacob: Serah, remember that promise you made to not embarrass me in public?
Serah: I can't help that you're uglier than the sweater.
Jacob: Bitch.
Mean comments aside, Serah was actually invited over by some kid. I suck at remembering names, but his mom is Justine Keaton. I rather thought that the kid actually wanted to copy off her homework, considering he didn't seem too impressed when she tried to socialize.
Serah: So... you wanna play Cops and Robbers?
Keaton Kid: My mom's a cop, and frankly, her line of work is pretty dangerous and hardly a nice game for little kids.
Serah: Hmm, indeed.
Justine: I smell awkwardness.
Indeed.
Serah: So I tried playing with the boy, and he ended up chasing me out of his yard. Is there something wrong with me, dad? Why don't people like me?
Cevin: Hey, not everyone's gonna like you at first, but that's not gonna stop you from making friends. You're a nice girl - just be yourself and someone will see how awesome you are eventually. And if someone doesn't like you, well, to hell with them, right?
Cevin: Most of those people have stupid faces like these, and they aren't worth being friends with my little girl anyway.
Serah: My face isn't like that at all, right dad?
Cevin: 'Course not. You're too cute to come close to anything like that.
Serah: D'aww, thanks! Now I just have to deal with one other thing...
The grand finale.
Serah: Your king tipped over. I win.
Jacob: That's not an actual chess rule, is it?!
You're too tired to keep playing, technically you still lose.
Jacob: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!
And thus was how Serah won the house.
Jacob: NO FUCKING WAY.
Yes way.
When he wasn't being a good parent, Cevin would sneak out to town and hang out at the Bridgeport bars that followed him into Sunset Valley. Followed, or maybe I just imported them into town. You pick.
You forgot to put Mikey to bed.
Cevin: I just taught him how to walk, give me a break.
So you did. Fine, I'll leave you to your hedonism.
Cevin rolled a wish to go to a hot spot, so I took him to the Grind. I don't know what kind of person calls a place inhibited by questionable businessmen a hot spot.
Nick Alto: Hey, hot stuff.
I have to admit though, he had some pretty flashy dance moves.
But Cevin definitely knows how to bring the heat. With bubbles, no less.
Funny how the bake sale table only attracts customers when Jacob isn't behind it. On this particular morning, Clayton Storms (visionofvim /vayleen ) came to the front yard with the munchies.
Naturally, Nicki walked out in her undies to meet him.
Clayton ended up joining the family for breakfast - I couldn't let the poor guy starve to death after all.
Clayton: How exactly did you guys get so much money already in the first generation?
Nicki: It helps to read...
Cevin: And type motherlode.
I'm disgusting, I know. But I really wanted a nice seaside home D:
Luckily, Clayton also avoided the clusterfuck that gathered in front of my door for Serah's birthday party.
Jacob 1: Nice to meet you, Jacob.
Jacob 2: The pleasure's all mine, Jacob!
Not sure how this happened. It might have happened when I moved the family around town on account of not liking the first few houses I tried. Regardless, I was pretty much on a clone hunt for the next few weeks afterwards - intense times.
Probably the most frightening thing that Jacob had to face during Serah's birthday party besides random clones was the birthday party itself. A lot of famous guests had been invited over.
Jacob: Serah'll be nice to me when she's a teen at least, right? Oh god, I hope Malcolm Landgraab doesn't see how pathetic I look right now...
At least someone was excited about the party. Kai Leiko and Lola Belle, by the way, didn't stay long in Sunset Valley. My game frequently crashes and it's frustrating >.<
Serah: Hmm, now that I've stolen everything from my brother, what else could I possibly wish for?
*sparkle sparkle*
*sigh* Whoever in EA thought that hairstyle was becoming should get shot in the head.
Post-makeover, Cevin had a little talk with his daughter.
Cevin: I know that I told you earlier that people will like you, but before you start fishing for boys, I just want to make it clear that even if you think he's a good catch, sometimes you gotta release 'em before I come over with a billy club, 'kay?
Serah: Were all those fishing euphemisms really necessary?
No, I guess not. Anyway, here's a great time to show off your new Photography Trait, which I ended up not using much at all... Gotta build up on those Logic points though if your Sim wants to be a doctor D:
Jacob: People really do just come over for the food and sights, huh?
Clayton: Shut up and look pretty.
Comments are lovely :3
