2.15 Incorruptibility



Well, hello, young lady! Welcome to Twinbrook! *takes a bow*
Yeah, hi. You don’t remember me, do you? I admit it’s been a while…
Why, yes, your face seems oddly familiar to my frozen brain. May it be you have visited with us before?
Kind of regularly. I just haven’t been around for a couple of weeks now. Last time I talked to you and the family was January 1st.
That is a rather long period of time, indeed. What has prevented you from coming back, young lady?
You know, life stuff. But here I am. Let’s walk inside and see what my Sims are up to!
May I be excused? The warmness of closed rooms has a disastrous effect on my skin.
Sure, that’s fine. Nice talking to you.
Farewell!


Well, it seems like Willow has accepted the fact that her parents want a fourth child. I, however, still have trouble dealing. Three kids are already a lot to handle, even though one of them is a child already. And both of my grown-ups are still far from reaching their LTW! How are we going to get through with that?
*whispering in Willow’s ear* Yes, honey, you will get the new iPhone 5s if you stop being mad with your mother.
Okay then. And I want lots of games on it, not all of them being available for free download. You have to get them for me, I’m not officially contractually capable.
Of course I will, my sweet little darling. Your happiness is all that matters to me.
I guess I will stop being a pain in the ass then. But only if you get me the iPhone by next week!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly present: blackmailing for intermediate learners. Please find the according bibliography below. Those kids are going to be a handful, I’m telling you.


But they’re also freaking adorable. Okay, I’m fine with having a fourth child. More cuteness! Until that child is born, somebody should add a roof to Xander’s room, though. Snow inside the house is not desirable.


Before the family enlarged for the fourth, and hopefully last, time, it was Ivy’s birthday! She gracefully aged up in the backyard, wearing appropriate clothes for the weather, of course. What else.


This is the first time I’ve seen a sim actually aging on his birthday from YA to Adult. She looks like she’s sixty. 


Also, being magnificently older than two sim-hours ago, she seemed to have lost her bladder control. Great. -5 I was so proud of you in the beginning.
 

Okay, I did not just see this. Gross! Willow, please put some more clothes on and play somewhere else. Please!
What do I get if I do what you tell me to?
What? You can’t blackmail me! This works with your father, but not with me.
Fine, I will continue playing with my imaginary friend until we have the best relationship, and then I will ask you to turn him real. Every. Single. Day.
No, please don’t! How about an iPad? I hear they’re awesome.
Sounds legit. *puts doll away*
Phew.


With their kids acting surprisingly mature already, Alfie and Ivy decided to go for that fourth child right now. Everybody was getting older, and they wanted to have some time before they picked the next heir.
Wait, what? I have to do that? Why can’t you do that? I don’t want to decide between my children, my lovely children!
That’s up to you, sorry. 


Okay, Xander.
Oo You might want to see your kids age up first. At the end of this chapter, Willow might be a teen and Xander a child. Oh, and Dawn is going to age up into a toddler soon.
Spoiler!
Yeah, because life’s unpredictable that way.


See, already happening. Birthday time! And ignore the puddle right next to Dawn, that’s the toddler’s toilet being flooded, since nobody bothers to actually empty it every now and then.


Cutie! I already told you her traits, she loves the heat and is a loner. The dress is appropriate, isn’t  it?



Food! I like food!
I just checked, she’s NOT excitable. Even though it looks like that. 


Hey Dawn! Beware of the tickle monster! *tickles* I like this one. I want her to be heir.
Again, you don’t have to decide right now! Please wait some more. You don’t even know the gender of your fourth child yet.
Fourth child? What?


Yeah, Ivy’s pregnant, by the way. Congratulations. :)


To celebrate, the family took a stroll to the park. It was winter festival, and they had heard of so many fun things to do! Building a snowman, snowball fights, playing in an igloo – and that was just the start.


Yep, related. Definitely. 


Alfie found something to criticize. I’m very amused. What I’m not amused about is that he left Xander on the floor, with snow up to his chin! He’s gonna get a cold! *atchoo* Great, now I have caught it. Thanks.


Graceful Ivy is ice skating.


And when Alfie joins her, even more fun is had by all. Especially by me. Bwahahahaha.


ALFIE! IVY! Get your butts over here right now and lift your toddlers from the ground, right now! 


Thankfully, they did. And then they drove home very quickly to celebrate Xander’s birthday into childhood! If this had happened one day earlier, he could have defended himself against the snow much better. Oh well, too late now.


No idea who that girl is, but her noise maker is really loud. *covers ears* Could you go backwards, at least one giant step? But don’t trip over Dawn, she’s on the floor right behind you.
...a little later. oh, crap, I just remembered - she's a babysitter the game called, since Alfie was unable to take both toddlers home at once. Damn. -5 

Oooooh, he’s so cute. He looks like he is going to lucky a lot, right?
I want him to be heir!
Shut up, dammit.

  1. Aww Cute Xander is cute! I wouldn't use the term 'cute' to describe his older sister though!!! Saying that, I love how sassy and intelligent she is. The heir race is going to be a tough one.

    I wonder what baby four is going to be?

    1. Yeah, he really is cute. And that outfit matches him so well - compared with his older sister he is as innocent as angels. He's not a teen in my game yet, so I don't know what is to come.

  2. Oh, whoops! Looks like I missed this update! Xander looks cute! Everyone looks cute. I'm so glad there's no danger to the baby in Sims when a pregnant woman TAKES A SUPERMAN BELLYFLOP ONTO HARD ICE.
