Last time! A million Nott's had birthdays. This time! A million more birthdays for the Nott family! Lots of fun though, simply because there are officially too many of them for me to properly manage so things get a little... messy. Let's get to it!
We'll start with Paige visiting her half-brother Woodrow. He appears to be having some inappropriate thoughts about his sister and the pool. At least, that is, if his eyes really are where I think they are he is.
Paige- I'm your sister. Gross.
It's two in the morning. What chemical could get a teenager so excited at 2 in the morning? I'll let you decide. O_o
Also- this is where I found out that neither discovering nor making said chemical concoction fulfilled the wish to make it. That really pissed me off since 5 of the 6 wishing kids in the house all have wishes related to making things on the chemistry set. I ended up deleting them all because it's not worth attempting to fulfill those wishes if they can't be fulfilled. But yay! Now there are a ton of wishes related to getting on the honor roll to grant! *sob
Also, it's now 5am (or something) and I go to check on Paige who is not in her bed. I find her sitting on the front porch of Constance Shelley's house on her laptop. Oh joy. Let's take a look at her motive panel shall we?
Why are you not dead? Gah! And no wishes that can get her back home since everyone involved in those are asleep and prom isn't until Wednesday. This should be fun.
Woodrow seems to have a bit of a radar concerning his half sister and her whereabouts and comes out to do his homework sitting near her.
Deciding she kind of likes this brother Paige goes ahead and marks him as her territory. Also known as bladder fail.
Sitting in a warm puddle of pee jars the poor boy into action.
Woodrow- Hey! You want to come inside? We have a toilet and everything.
Paige- A toilet! That sounds wonderful. I don't need one though.
Constance Shelley is preggers by Trigger Broke, Roxie Lin's (Sherman's girlfriend) fiance. Those four really can't figure out who they want when. She also isn't taking too well to Paige's presence in her home.
Constance- Flaunting that body around my son. I bet you're just after my money!
Paige- Bitch, please. Your money is only yours because my dad gives it to you since you had his 'other' kids.
Constance-Whatever. You're in my house now. I can throw you out.
At which point Constance's roommate Anita Lobos (I really need to make her a werewolf) comes and berates Flynn. Why Flynn? Or did Flynn not give her the good neighbor discount on those chemicals he's been cooking up? Hmm...
Paige decides to take a page from Lottie's book and have a drink. Alcohol fixes all.
I leave Paige to drown her sorrows to attend to a wish each for Lottie and Sherman. Sherman has a wish to throw a birthday party for Gwendolyn, while Lottie has a wish to throw a birthday party for Lily. WOot! I get to age the kids up a whole day early thanks to that wish! Constance and Albert both abandon Paige like I did to attend the party. Constance's maternity wear cracked me up so I left it. Gwyndolyn is up first.
Cash totally approves of his little sister, Pinocchio.
Oh goody. Another Lottie clone.
Lol. My attempt at a goth sim. She makes me giggle. However...
Lotte- Yes! YesyesyesyesYES!!! I did it!
That's right. Lottie just managed to complete her LTW to raise 5 kids from infant to teenager. I'm officially able to pass the torch to someone else, possibly moving them out away from this crowd of clowns.
Despite my attempts to give Gwen a different look just to be different, this girl is one cool customer and in the end the look fits her to a tee.
Gwen- Uh, my birthday is over. You can all stop cheering now. Losers.
Hey Gwen?
Gwen- Go figure. I age up, I hear voices.
They're now cheering for Lily. It's her birthday too.
Gwen- Oh. The twin. I try to pretend she doesn't exist.
Lily is slightly traumatized by chick in her swim wear who suddenly appeared.
And because I can't time these things to save my life, what does Lottie do?
Sherman, ever oblivious, blames the disturbance on Roxie Lin, his girlfriend. Cash blames it on Lucky Perkins, his nemesis. Lily decides to take matters into her own hands and cheers for her birthday all by herself.
Gwen - Pfft. Losers.
Gwendolyn ignores the uproar altogether. Eating her cake in solitude.
Gwen- As it should be!
Lottie- I sense... A disturbance...
Cash- I sense an idiot.
Aaand it's another Lottie clone. Hey look though! My first ever (almost) identical twins! More clones. PFfffft. Need to check those settings in SP... This ain't cool yo.
Lily- Hey dad!
I'll mention traits in just a bit. Let's get through the birth and I'll do a rundown of potential heirs.
In the midst of labor, Lottie takes a break to admire Roxie Lin. *facepalm. Seriously?
Sherman- Hey honey, you're in my way.
Sherman- Honey!!! You're in my waaaaay!
Sherman has awesome timing.
Lottie- Oh look! He's happy!
He's also got an exceptionally full bladder.
Lottie- It's cute. His cackle that is. It's cute.
Lottie's labor continues as the guests filter away, unimpressed.
Lucky Perkins and Roxie Lin attempt to keep her entertained by slow dancing.
Gwen- Something smells funny. Kinda acidic.
Cash- Shut the door! You smell nothing!
Two fails in one chapter. Thank goodness this challenge isn't point driven.
While Cash mops up the puddle of his own pee, Lottie finally gives birth.
Lottie- Look! It's a baby. 8)
Ruby to be exact. This one was named by my daughter. Ruby is a Grumpy Loner. Life is going to be tough for the hoard of family members attempting to live with her.
We get Ruby in her crib and...
It's an Opal this time! I decided to go with the theme my daughter started. Opal is Handy and Childish.
And because Lottie's uterus is incapable of producing anything less than a litter of kids, this is Sterling. He's Unlucky and Can't Stand Art.
After his birth I changed a few settings in SP effectively tying her tubes. She's had 12 kids now. 12. Sherman has 15. Don't expect all of these kids to survive the hand of the Maker. Since I keep the total population around 80 some of these kids are gonna have to die to preserve genetic diversity. O_o
Gwen started putting pranks around the house like they were going out of style the second she became a teen. *snort.
Lottie- Why does my hair look different?
I dunno Lottie. I think Blonde suits you, in oh so many ways.
Lottie- What's that supposed to mean?
So! We have 6 potential heirs. I'm going to give a run down, then assign them a number based on alphabetizing their names. I'll then use Random.org to pick my heir.
#1 is Cash. Cash's traits are: Neat, Virtuoso, Evil, and Kleptomaniac.
#2 is Flynn. Flynn's traits are Family Oriented, Genius, Eccentric, and Proper.
#3 is Gwen. Gwendolyn's traits are: Diva, Brave, Clumsy and Perceptive.
Lily is #4. Lily's traits are Flirty, Neurotic, Clumsy and Artistic.
Paige is #5. Paige's traits are Absent-Minded, Party Animal, Athletic, and Kleptomaniac.
Samantha is #6. Samantha's traits are Neurotic, Good, Computer Whiz and Friendly.
Next time! Lottie's wishes fall to the side in favor of our new heir!
ETA: Aaand sorry folks. It looks like this save has gone corrupt on me and I don't have it in me to try to go back to a non corrupt save and replay all of that all over again. The thought of 14 sims in one house is enough to make me wet my pants as it is.
I'll go ahead and say it, no matter how I rolled on random.org (either through process of elimination, or with whatever number it popped up with as the winner, Cash won each time. He would have been heir. However, I think I'm just going to pack up the 6 teens and move them somewhere saner perhaps getting to know them a little better and so be able to pick someone I take an interest in.
Riverview has long been my favorite town to play in, but I have always been plagued by glitches in it. This was also supposed to be one of my 'for fun' challenges and I can't keep up with a story too well for it when I can barely keep up with the wishes of those in the house much less keep the world working. I'm not positive I'll document what they get up to, but they will live on. I'll leave the earlier chapters up here for a while because I think we all need to go and laugh at Lottie every once in a while.
Perhaps once my heir reaches Y/A I'll post what they get up to if I find it funny enough. Until, and if, that time comes, so long and thanks for all the fish. ;)
