Welcome back to another chapter of The Deepwater ISBI. In case you were wondering, I've been watching way too much Brooklyn Nine-Nine, hence the chapter title. But in all reality, Moana is absolutely fabulous and has been very productive so far, so I figured it fit. Plus, I needed something with the number 100 in it. But you'll see why later.
We start this chapter off with Oceanus being in a bear phase.
I don't remember what Coral was sad about, but it breaks my heart. She's just so cute!
Early apology, she's not in this chapter very much because there's just a lot going on lol.
Nerissa has come to visit us, and because of the inspiration decor she's a nice pretty blue!
Poor Coral passes out. -5
Baleen is running away. Which, honestly I feel like should make me lose points. Also, her collar has turned yellow somehow.
Moana has completed an aspiration milestone +5
Oceanus is sad because Baleen ran away, and because he's not in his bear costume, and he's also sick. Poor kid can't catch a break.
Thankfully, Baleen has come home so everyone is a lot happier.
Well, everyone is happy now that Baleen has been given a bath.
Okay, this was just too cute, Marlin and Ellis are dancing together.
Okay, there are a lot of toddler Coral pictures but not child Coral. She has decided to try to live on popcorn.
And then she ends up passing out. -5
These robots are the best thing ever because they've been cleaning up the messes for me. The maid usually cleans them too, but it's nice to have something extra in the evening.
Baleen was in heat, and since there's no room in the house even if I wanted to breed her I took her in for a spay and then immediately after I got her a quick check up.
While grilling, Ellis starts a fire. -10
The neighbor comes to save the day again. Which I googled, and it's a feature introduced in Island Living. Every time there is a fire there is a 75% chance the fire brigade will show up to save the day.
Okay, I know the club is to thank for this (hence why I left their club icons up) but it's so rare to have all the school aged kids working on their homework at the same time, autonomously, even with the club approved activity.
Moana is a good Mom, autonomously. I usually don't have to direct her to do much because she tends to do a lot of it on her own.
Oceanus playing in the closet was very entertaining to me.
He's completed the first tier of rambunctious scamp!
I decided to give Ellis and Moana a break from the crazy and go look for the secret tree. It wasn't very hard to find since it's the only one not dead.
So Moana starts working on getting her ability to access the Sylvan Glade.
Of course, a very under dressed paparazzi stops by first to take pictures of Moana.
I forgot how beautiful this place was. It's been a really long time since I brought sims here, but I was just reading Salem's King of Fools ISBI and it reminded me that it's been too long since I visited.
I actually had completely forgotten about the wisps, but I do wish you could interact with them.
Calpyso and Oceanus receive an A on their birthday! +10
First up to the cake is the eldest, Calypso!
But before Oceanus could step up to the cake, Ellis decides he has to take a piece.
After getting him a fresh cake, Oceanus can finally celebrate his birthday.
Calypso reminds me a lot of Amphitrite with her smaller eye shape, but I still think she's pretty. Plus, she has a good aspiration.
Oceanus looks a lot like his Dad because he's put on some weight but I do see a lot of the Deepwater genes there too.
Calypso's energy is almost completely depleted, but she tries to solve that by drinking coffee.
After looking at Oceanus' aspiration, I noticed it had him as completing 2/4 milestones. Which, is strange since he just became a teenager. I'm thinking it's either related to Moana's royalties or maybe when I was "Hand of God" selling paintings, I had him selected. I'm not sure. Either way, I decided to count the points because honestly, it won't take me long to make up the 30k if he's chosen as heir.
This also reminded me to check the achievement, and we have earned another 100k. +20
The coffee didn't buy her much time, and Calpyso passes out on the floor.
Moana maxes the parenting skill with Thalassa asks her for advice.
You can also see Calypso standing up in the background after passing out.
She may be getting on my nerves with her blatant disregard for her energy, but she's really sweet with her little sister.
About 6 hours after the twins grow up, it's 12:01a, meaning it's the next day and birthdays count. If it's for sims who can't go to school to get a push for an A or something, I've been doing their birthday as soon as I'm able. Today is a quadruple birthday, so be prepared for lots of birthday pics.
I also want to reiterate that this is only six sim hours after the twins growing up, This will be very important to remember. Anyway, first up is Ellis!
Who aged into a very handsome elder. Honestly, if the house wasn't so full I probably would've used a youth potion on him so he could stick around a bit.
Yes Roxanne, I know what you're thinking "if you think 8 is bad, try having 12 sims in the house at once."
If you haven't read her legacy, The Gregory Legacy, I highly recommend it. It's definitely my all time favorite legacy family - and that even includes my own.
Second up to the cake is Moana!
Moana ages wonderfully!
Before the next birthday sim can go to their cake, Calypso passes out for the 2nd time in six hours. -5
Next up to the cake is Marlin!
Calypso then passes out for a THIRD time within six hours. -5
And finally Coral is able to blow out her candles!
Marlin is very handsome! He definitely grew into his face quite a bit.
Coral is also absolutely adorable. She reminds me a lot of a purple version of her Mom and Grandma.
Calypso FINALLY found a place to take a nap, which is honestly better than passing out at this point. It's her Grandparent's bed, but it's better than nothing.
Thalassa is being such a good sim that she autonomously (without the club gathering) came home and before even entering the house she does her homework.
Then, because I had started the club gathering, Oceanus hacks his grade and gets an A. +5
Moana has maxed out her logic skill, and completed Nerd Brain aspiration. Next she's going to work on World Famous Celebrity since she's already a 4-star celebrity anyway. She automatically completes the first milestone.
We head down to a popular community lot and host a meet and greet and sign some autographs. Which completes a milestone.
And we pose for the paparazzi.
Calypso has passed out again.
She's just napping here, but I seriously think she's allergic to sleeping in her bed.
She doesn't even seem to care when her twin comes in to use the bathroom.
Calypso: Ahhh, coffee. That will wake me right up.
Moana needs 3 fans to autonomously ask her for a selfie, so we go to the park and just hang out.
We were there for hours before she got her final request, which completes another milestone.
Thalassa uses her free action to draw on the activity table since she's inspired.
Moana ran into Poseidon's daughter, Paisley, and Amphi's daughter, Lacie, while at a community lot working on her aspiration. I have better pics at the end of this chapter!
Trying to get her to incite cheers from 25 people was such a pain, but she finally did it. The only thing she has left to do for her aspiration is become a five star celebrity.
As soon as she arrives home, Marlin sets the science lab on fire.
Which upsets Baleen so much that she runs away again.
What do you want for your birthday, Thalassa?
Thalassa: A haircut and for my puppy to come home.
Well, she got her wish. Right as she blew the candles out, I got the notification that Baleen was returning home.
She got her other wish too and got a haircut.
I'm not 100% sure I'm feeling her makeover, but I felt like it fit her aspiration.
Wow, that's a lot of dishes you have there.
Marlin: yeah, this family is a mess. *Marlin puts dishes in dishwasher, then begins making a mess on the floor.*
The flea market was in town, so I sent Moana and let her take Marlin with her so he could hopefully finish the first milestone of social butterfly, which he did.
I still haven't gotten the last snowglobe.
Thalassa: Look how cute, this kitten is sleeping in a bed, maybe you should try sleeping in a bed like this. It's very restful, trust me.
Calypso: Haleigh put you up to this, didn't she? She's just mad I lost her points and kept passing out. But I'm fine, I don't need to sleep in a bed. Sleep is for the weak, and I'm not weak.
Moana is now a five star celebrity! This completes her aspiration, but before we pick her next aspiration, let's go to Starlight Boulevard.
Moana places her tile down to be immortalized forever. (I totally feel like I should be able to get extra points for a second immortilization.)
Back home, I picked Fabulously Wealth for Moana's next aspiration, knowing very well she'd complete the whole thing automatically. It seems cheaty, but it's really not and I wanted extra points. Then< i gave her Leader of the Pack which will be hard to get pictures of her completing, but she already completed the first milestone.
That's where we'll leave this chapter! I will have another chapter out soon! Feel free to check in with me over at BoolProp or on my Twitch Stream in the meantime, I'd love to chat!
Also, now that they're all teens I wanted to share pictures of the spares' kids. Since they're kids of the spares, I did not name them the game did when they were born so their names do not fit the theme. Score
