The Carraway ISBI: Generation 1, Chapter 5
Author's Note: It's Carraway time! AGAIN. Lol. I hope you guys aren't sick of these guys yet! I just love them to pieces <3 And I'd like to theoretically know who the heir is before I leave on Friday.... Well, it's possible, but not likely lol. Oh well. I won't be playing much at all while I'm gone, anyway, so it's not a big deal. But I'm going to get to the heir poll before I leave whether you guys like it or not xD So, with all that pointless blabbering said, have a LONG chapter! :D
Warning: Mild language... Not as bad this time, though... maybe. xD
The Carraway ISBI: Generation 1, Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We start off the chapter with me showing off my un-laziness! I finally got around to putting in a pond for my little Attie, and look! He's using it! :D
He had a little graduation ceremony for his Boy Scouts, but he changed into his PJs before I could get a proper picture of his cute little uniform! :( Oh well, it's cute that he put his PJs on, aww.
The whole family went autonomously (well, I made Nicky stop what she was doing to join, but...), so Adelyn had to be left with this.. interesting... babysitter. Lol! My favorite part is tied between the hat, and the vest. ("What's with the life preserver?" Gah I love that movie xD)
Like a good Sims babysitter, though, she stood outside the front door the whole time -_- Come on, I can't control Anthony either but he's a great autonomous big brother. And he doesn't even get paid! :P
Anyway looook, Attie got this adorable set of badges as a memento! I looove all the new little items that come with Generations omg.
And Attie even used the treehouse I bought! What a good autonomous kid xD
Atticus: "I see pirates! Ahoy! Raise the sails! There's a westerly wind a-blowing!"
Oh and I can finally show you Nicky's new everyday wear! I actually love OLS's clothing options :3
Nicky: "I don't. :|"
What's your deal?
Nicola: "All of my clothes look so... cutesy. Come on! You know I have a fiery temper and an insane brain! Can't you make me dress like I am?"
Aww, but you'll always be my cuddly little Nicky founder sweetheart :3
Nicola: "STFU. :("
Anthony: "Hey there, my little goober! How are you today?"
Adelyn: "Hehehe! Hi big brudder!"
SEEEE? Stupid babysitter... *grumbles*
Nicola: "Hey son! You like the new pond?"
Attie: "I love it, mama!"
Aren't they adorable?
Anthony, though, prefers to watch his father play chess.
Anthony: "GOOOO DAD GO!!! Beat that old bastard! Come on! You deserve to win!"
Leo: "...Son? You know there's no one there, right?"
Anthony: "Yeah.. uh... I knew that!"
Atticus: "Welcome, welcome, citizens of my kingdom! It is I, King Atticus the Great!"
Leo: "Mumble mumble... Knight to H-3..."
Atticus: "Da-a-ad, you can't play chess while the king is talking!"
Leo: "Don't be silly, son, this isn't just any old game of chess. It's Wizard's Chess!"
Atticus: "Oh! Ok :)"
Attie autonomously slept in the treehouse that night. Gah, can you say 'cutest child ever'?!
However, the next day it was the little' king's time to grow into a teenager! Naww :(
He gained the Great Kisser trait. Gah, that and Snob, I would have so much fun with him as a player if I could control him xD Well, maybe that's for the best, lol. He has small eyes, like Anthony, but they look way better out of CAS, I promise!
I had fun with his outfit xD And he kept the Cool Converse! I love this kid <3
Not to be outdone, it was also Adelyn's birthday! :3
Anthony: "WAHOOOO!"
Leo: "I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!"
Adorable Attie: "YAYAYAYAYAY!!! :D"
Nicola: "I hate birthdays. :|"
Always the party-pooper, huh? xD
Anyway, here's Addy as a child!!! :3 Aww, I love her. I can't remember whether she rolled Athletic or if I gave it to her, because technically I can choose traits in this challenge if I want to, but yeah, that's her new trait :D I love how her eyes match her pants... which I just noticed just now. Go me!! xD
Adelyn: "I GOTTA PEE SO BAD!!!"
Then go!!!
But alas, the pull of cake was too strong... and she peed herself before she even sat down. *sigh*
And then she passed out. What? She's not tired.
... Hmm, she has a weird moodlet...
LEO, what did you do?!
Leo: "What?? Are you accusing me of using the 'Bore to Death' interaction on my daughter? The one that comes with the 'No Sense of Humor' trait, which I am the only one in the family to have? Because I would never do that! Not even if it had a side effect of passing out, which I would do just to spite you for some unknown reason. I would never do that! Stop accusing me!"
-_-
Adelyn: "My dad's an idiot."
Atticus: *in the mirror* "Agreed."
Idk, I like your dad usually! He helps out a lot! Usually...
Adelyn: "I'm so embarrassed to be seen like this!!"
Atticus: "Damn. I am beautiful. Sooo beautiful."
Leo: "Why are both my sons sissies? :|"
Hey! Guys who like to dance and who care about their appearance are not sissies!
Leo: "Yes but look at Atticus."
Atticus: "Soooo damn beauuuutiful..."
Leo: "See?"
Look at my little baby Attie though <3 He fishes autonomously ALL THE TIME, and since I used buydebug to stock our pond, we actually make money off it! Score :D
...
LEO!!!! >:(
*grumpily adds another tally to the 'pass-outs' count*
LOOK HOW GOOD THEY ARE THOUGH <3
It will quickly become apparent how extremely attached I am to both these boys xD
Oh, so I officially switched Nicky's career from gardening to painting. I think she'll still do a bit of both, though.
And while I was at it, I used Atticus's teen move to register him as a self-employed fisherman.
Adelyn: "Heh heh, using Attie's bed is the funnest!"
Atticus: "Zzz lucky I already stole Anthony's or I'd have to use Addy's... Zzz I love TVs... Zzz"
Tony: "Ugh, seriously? My siblings suck."
Adelyn's room is cute, though, no? xD
*The next morning*
Anthony: "IIIIIIIIIIIIII AM HAVING A MOOOOOOOOOOOOOD SWIIIIIIIIIIIING! RAAAAAAAAGE!!!!"
I wonder if that has anything to do with sleeping in a little girl's room? xD
Tony: "LIFE SUCKS MAJOR BALLS!!!"
Hey now! No need for that visual. Thanks though.
*10 minutes later*
Anthony: "Everything is so super-fantastic! I'm gonna dance about it! :D"
.. Most teenagers aren't really... I mean..... okay, yeah, most teenagers are like this |D
I just realized I have this exact picture pretty much, like 10 slides ago. This is kind of all he does though, and he makes such cute faces... <3
Leo: "Aw, Nicky, I remember when it used to be like this. Just the two of us, with nothing but the clothes on our backs and our high school diplomas..."
Nicola: "I really don't think we've always had those, though..."
Nicola: "But I know what you mean! I miss having 'us time'."
Anthony: "This playground is empty... like my soul. :|"
Yeah... you gotta dig around through that page to find where I got that from, lol. Look for a purple-haired teenager eating Goopy Carbonara.
Oh look! It's not empty! Addy is here!
Anthony: "Hey Adds, listen I'm getting sleepy. And even though in real life a 16-year-old could take his 10-year-old sister to the park at 10 p.m. without the cops showing up, it doesn't swing that way in Riverview. Wanna head home?"
Adelyn: "Why would a teenage boy take his baby sister to the park at night IRL though? I mean, that's where the stoners hang out."
Anthony: "At elementary school playgrounds?"
As ridiculous as that sounds, it's actually true in my town xD
Anthony: "Wow. I'm glad I don't live in the real world, then."
Hey, at least we don't have a curfew like you do! :P
Leo: "So, this is called a 'scalpel.' That's what we use for surgeries!"
Leo: "This is a model of the digestive system. Sometimes when people have very bad tummyaches, we have to open them up to see if there's anything wrong inside. We use this diagram to make sure we don't cut up anything vital!"
Adelyn: "Cool Daddy! Can I hear about the respiratory system tomorrow?"
Leo: "Sure thing kiddo. Sleep tight."
So you read those Medical research books to your kid as a bedtime story, but you won't read them yourself even if it means your next promotion?
Leo: "... Shut up."
Nicola: "I miss our 'us time,' Leo. Remember when I said that?"
Leo: *washes dishes autonomously* "Yes dear, I do..."
Nicola: "Well, it means I MISS OUR 'US TIME'. We better hang out soon or you might wake up without a certain part of your body tomorrow!"
But soon they were giggling like teenagers again :3
And then I built a new house :D
It's really not that different at all but let's look anyway!
I basically just wanted to add a spiral staircase, lol. Here's the living room.
[By the way all of this is subject to change, as I had to decorate twice due to a game freeze -_-]
Kitchen/dining area is to the left.
Here's the boys' room. (I love the colors xD)
Here's Adelyn's room!
And here's the parents' room! Look how creative I was, I used the same colors and everything xD
Overall, here's the ground floor...
And the second floor. Woo!
Aww, so Tony was in Art Club and Drama Club (he got skill points from both!! <3 Generations) and had a little graduating ceremony, and he got these! :D Remember what I said about loving the little items? Yeah. Lol.
Leo: "All right, baby, if I'm going to pass all my knowledge on to you, you need to learn about chess. So let's take a look at the finer points of strategy for the game. First off--"
Adelyn: "I thought we were going to learn about the respiratory system, Dad. I'm disappointed."
Leo: "Looks like she fell asleep anyway, hmm?"
Maybe out of boredom? xD
Nicola: "SPIRAL STAIRS YES."
:D
Aw, poor little Attie. He still matches the wallpaper xD
Atticus: "Yeah, and now I'm having a mood swing! Great! :("
You sure you're not just hungry? That moodlet looked pretty unhappy in the last picture...
Atticus: "How could you SAY that?! Don't you understand me?! Ugh, being a teenager is so hard!"
>_>
Anthony: "Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo doo... Wait, is that my brother coming through the door?"
Anthony: "Oh, relax, Attie, it's not all bad like you think! Come on, come dance with me, you'll feel better!"
Atticus: "Fuck off."
Anthony: "Whatever man, you're missing out!"
Adelyn: "I love having ice cream for breakfast!"
Atticus: *sulks*
Leo: "Son, I know you're grumpy, but don't be unhealthy and have ice cream for breakfast like your sister."
Atticus: "I'm NOT a CHILD, Dad, I KNOW how to take care of MYSELF. Besides, I'm not a dumbass like Adelyn."
Addy: "Hehe, I got away with-- HEY!!"
Atticus: "Seriously, you think I'd have ICE CREAM for breakfast when there's perfectly good CAKE available?!"
Leo: *sigh*
Anthony: "My family... is sooo... weird."
Oh, buddy, as if you're not weird too :P
Tony: "At least I can get to the school bus on time! And I always do my homework before I party."
The boys went on a field trip to the Mausoleum that day :3 They had, ah, rather different reactions.
Atticus: "That was disgusting. I never want to do that again."
Anthony: "I smell so bad but I feel so GOOOOD! Damn, that was fun!"
Seriously, I love these boys so much x3
And they each brought home one of these fun posters!!! (*sigh* eventually I'll stop obsessing, lol) I sold one since they both had them, and it made us $300! Score!
Isn't there some saying about "the family that skills together, stays together" or something? lol xD I find it extremely adorable that they all autonomously skill, though.
Eventually Nicky finished the garden and went to join her husband at chess :3
Leo: "You know, I just don't get how two nerds like us were able to produce a party animal like Tony."
Atticus: "I dunno, I mean, look at him, obsessively doing his homework!"
Tony: "That's because I graduate soon, moron, and I'd rather actually get an education."
Atticus: "Yeah, well, I don't see YOU having a CAREER. Besides, I still have a solid A average."
Anthony: "Yeah, and I have no idea how, because you NEVER do your homework!"
Atticus: "It's because of my irresistible charm. The teachers can't get enough of me!"
Anthony: "Snob."
Atticus: "Ambitious nerd."
Anthony: "Stuck-up mountain man."
Atticus: "Unrealistic party--"
OKAY OKAY. We get that you can insult each other for your traits. Seriously xD
Anthony: "It's okay! My brother thinks I'm just a nerd with no life, but he doesn't know that once the work is done, that's when the real fun starts! ♫ Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo doo! ♪ "
Anthony: "Hey sis? Does this make my butt look big?"
Adelyn: "What happened to him when he was a child to make him like this?"
You do not want to know.
Adelyn: "Thanks for reading me a bedtime story, big brother!"
Atticus: "Sure thing, Adds. But one question -- why are we doing it in Anthony's bed, instead of yours?"
Adelyn: "Because then he'll have to sleep in my girlie bed again, like that other time. And it's funny to see him cranky about it the next day >:D"
Atticus: "Oooh.. awesome! I love that plan :D"
Atticus: "Sleep well, you little evil princess."
Anthony: "HA! What my obnoxious siblings DON'T know is that I heard their whole conversation! Now, I'll steal Attie's bed, and HE will have to sleep in Adelyn's girlie room! Muahaha!"
Atticus: "Uh... what happened?"
Apparently, Attie isn't as smart as his brother, who was able to sleep in Adelyn's bed when his was stolen. Attie, on the other hand...
Atticus: "Mm, nothing like a midnight snack!"
Nicola: "Shouldn't you be in bed, kid? It's 1:00 a.m."
Atticus: "Shouldn't YOU be in bed?"
Nicola: "The work of a torch-holder is never done :\"
Atticus: "Night, Mom."
Nicola: "Night."
Atticus: "Damn, I am just GORGEOUS, like seriously."
And then he slid down the spiral staircase...
... twice.
And that's when I took pity on him and cheated by dragging his energy bar back up >.< Don't judge me, I'm not playing for points anyway. And look! Once I did that, he decided to do his homework! Aww.
Atticus: "Where... where did my homework go?"
Uh... the desk must've eaten it. O.o
Well, that's all for this time everyone! Thanks as always for reading! Make sure to comment! ;D What do you think of Adelyn as a child, and Atticus as a teenager? Who's your favorite kid based on looks? On personality? Have a great day, and happy simming! :3
