Welcome back to another chapter of The Deepwater ISBI. I can't believe we're already in generation three after less than two weeks. Moana ended up winning the heir poll. Which, I'm excited about but I had also kind of hoped Poseidon won. And I had to vote for Amphi because she had been my favorite for so long. But, I'm still pleased with Moana. I've decided to make selfies like this one a type of transition to new torchholder. I think Roxanne might do that in her Atlas ISBI, but I hadn't realized it until I was typing this up. I just feel like in real life, if this were a thing, this is how they'd take a selfie.
Nerissa doesn't seem to be adjusting well to the autonomous life. This is her "I really have to pee" face.
Since Maui is also a young adult and not a torch-holder I've moved him out, married him off, and impregnated his wife. I'll have teen/YA pictures of the spare's kids when available.
Moana convinces Nerissa to step down as the family club leader. Which gives Nerissa a sad moodlet unfortunately. I don't remember it giving one to Caspian.
I was hoping that if Moana had Nerissa help her with the rocket it would count toward her aspiration, but unfortunately it did not so we won't be completing Nerissa's second aspiration.
I was almost able to get the whole family to sit down for a Harvestfest meal together, but Izzy decided that standing to eat was more his speed.
Amphitrite: I should have been heiress! I was the cutest one and everyone liked me the best until I became a teenager. It just isn't fair!
I sent Moana to start spouse hunting, but unfortunately I kept finding brunettes. I think I may have to give us some legacy loves here soon. Most of my male townies have brown hair.
Nerissa reached the top of the botanist branch of the gardener career. Unfortunately, I don't get points for it because she was all set up for the promotion before she became a NTH.
As is tradition, I have given Maui a key to come visit. Tonight is Poseidon and Amphi's birthday! Poseidon is the oldest, so he's up first.
Then, before Amphi can blow out her candles, a random townie that just invited themselves into our house decides to go upstairs and die.
Amphi manages to make it downstairs and she blows out her candles.
Poseidon adds cheerful to his list of traits, and looks a lot like his father but I do see a lot of his grandfather too.
Amphitrite ages nicely too and adds genius to her list of traits. I think the thing that seems off about her is that her bottom lip is so much smaller than her upper lip.
Moana says goodbye to Poseidon and Amphi as they move out to get married, and pregnant.
Amphi is the first to come by, a day or so later and so she's already showing from her pregnancy. But we give her a key to the house.
Izzy has maxed out his fitness skill! +10
So, Moana had not found a spouse yet, and I heard about an Easter egg in game that any kids fathered by father winter get a special trait, so since it was Winterfest, I decided it was the perfect time to try this out for myself.
Plus, if you try for a baby with Father Winter your sims is guaranteed to get pregnant. He was surprisingly easy to woo, and soon Moana was kissing Santa Claus. Which got the song "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" stuck in my head. Things got more heated after that and soon they were about to share their first woohoo in Moana's closet.
And since it was a guarantee, Moana is now pregnant with Father Winter's baby!
Nerissa has maxed her fitness skill. I'm counting this for points because most of it was done during her time as NTH as a child/teen.
It's time for Izzy to become an elder!
I have to say, he looks totally different now that he doesn't have his pink hair anymore. I miss it.
He only needs one charisma point for a promotion, so I use his elder action to have him practice speech.
So, it's hard to tell since it's resized, but this random townie invited themselves in our house. Well, it turns out it's the "flower bunny" but out of costume.
Triton recently passed, so everyone is sad, Nerissa has been crying in Moana's closet most of the time.
Moana completes her second aspiration milestone. Though, I don't think I ever said anything about the first so +10
Soon after, she goes into labor! Ley lines continuously making me question my life choices, but let's see what she has!
Twins! Meet baby girl Calypso and baby boy Oceanus.
Calypso is named after the oceanid bore to Oceanus and Tethys. She's also a sea nymph in the Odyssey. Oceanus, while technically considered a river God, was considered to be the body of water that surrounded and protected the presumed flat-Earth. I had invited Father Winter (aka Heath) over to get to know his personality so I could properly roll for the kids traits, etc. and he did come upstairs to play with his children briefly while he was there.
You can see his personality at the very end of the chapter. Moana won an award for one of the books that she wrote. Coincidentally, I was just saying how I didn't know you could go to the award ceremony and so I decided to check it out. I was super excited that she won!
It's already time for Calypso and Oceanus to become toddlers!
Of course, they both got brown hair, which I shouldn't be surprised by.
Calypso is literally the cutest! I love her! I took her hair and bow idea from The Gregory Legacy because one of the million kids Roxanne has right now in that family had this set-up and I just adored it!
Oceanus is precious too! These are some good looking twins!
I literally cannot handle the cuteness that is these twins.
I decided since we went through the effort to fully upgrade the rocket ship, Moana might as well go see if there are any good looking aliens up there. We met this guy, who's name I have forgotten, who has a lovely flower crown thanks to the lovely bug EA has with aliens right now.
Moana started to get tired while waiting, and she needed to use the bathroom, so I sent her home where she passed out, and apparently wet herself but I didn't see it happen. -10
Thankfully, Izzy is being a great grandpa and taking care of Calypso.
And Oceanus is actually being nice to Bun Bun. It's so refreshing to see a sim actually be nice to their toys.
Okay, maybe I spoke to soon. He got tired and destroyed the doll house.
It's time for Nerissa's elder birthday!
She's still stunning! I'll miss her!
I sent Moana to Sixam one more time, but decided if I didn't find an alien with purple skin (I've never married one with purple before) I was going to just have her get pregnant by Father Winter again. But sure enough, we ran into Ellis Mora - a purple alien!
A very purple alien.
Ellis: Is this what you humans call a rose? It's so lovely, it smells so sweet, I absolutely love it. After wooing him with a rose, Moana and Ellis share their first kiss. This closet is certainly seeing some action.
After their woohoo, Moana asks Ellis to move in with her.
Here he is post make over. He unfortunately has brown hair, but at least with his purple skin he has some variety, lol. However, his personality definitely leaves much to be desired.
It looks like their woohoo earlier has led to a pregnancy!
Moana: I'm pregnant! We're going to be parents!
Ellis: But I just moved in and you've already made me an instant-Dad with Calypso and Oceanus. Moana: That's true, but this one is going to be your baby. I sent them to the community lot to get married, but then realized they weren't even engaged. So I quickly had them get engaged so that they could be married.
They were then married where Caspian and Venessa were married.
Moana: Oh no, I recognize this confetti...someone's pregnant....
No, you're married! It's the same confetti, but I mean, you're technically not wrong though because you're already pregnant with Ellis' baby. Moana is a 2 star celebrity and one of her fans showed up to the wedding and kept screaming and then passing out. So after the ceremony, Moana signed an autograph for him.
Back at home our cute little Calypso is dancing to the stereo. Meanwhile, Oceanus is making a mess on the rug.
Moana has peed herself again. -5
And sweet Calypso has passed out. -5
Nerissa is a good grandmother though, and she autonomously cares for the kiddos.
Even though everyone else in the house is awake, when Oceanus has a nightmare he goes and wakes Ellis up.
Oh, I have portraits of both Heath and Ellis for the wall. I figured it was only fair for Calypso and Oceanus to have a photo of their father on the wall.
Moana has completed another aspiration milestone. +5
She's getting very close to finishing her aspiration. Since she had been earning a lot of royalties, I checked the rosebud achievement and found that they get 10 more points because they've hit the 200k mark.
So, random sims have recently been visiting the house a lot. Which, I assume is because Moana is now a 3 star celebrity, but they've been entering the house to knock on the door for some reason.
Moana is now in labor with her next baby! I'm really hoping it's not twins, a single birth would be nice!
It's just one baby! Meet baby girl Thalassa!
Thalassa is a primordial sea goddess in Greek mythology. Moana: See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls you. And no one knows, how far it goes. If the wind in your sail on the sea stays behind you, one day you'll know, if you go, there's just no telling how far you'll go. PS. I purposely altered the lyrics so that it would be more like a lullaby to her daughter. 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! Score |
AboutThe Deepwater ISBI is my first attempt at completing an "I'm Surrounded by Idiots" challenge.
Started: April 28, 2020 RulesThe goal of the challenge is to go ten generations (like in a legacy) while only controlling one sim at a time (your torchholder.)
