Welcome back to another chapter of The Deepwater ISBI. I feel like I should create a legacy where I name the chapters like FRIENDS episodes with "The One With/Where/etc." Last chapter, we met Moana and Father Winter's twins, and Moana had just had a baby with Ellis, her alien husband.
Well, Calypso has now met Thalassa and she's super excited about having a little sister. Twins are hard. -10
If it weren't for Nerissa and Izzy, I don't know if these kids would survive. I feel like because the Grandparents have a higher parenting skill than the parents, that's why parents who weren't good end up being good grandparents.
Instead of helping his step-children, Ellis is watching the fireplace channel.
It's birthday time for little Thalassa! I can't wait to see what she looks like.
Moana: Come to Mommy, Thalassa! That's right take a few more steps!
Thalassa is adorable. Since her father is an alien, that typically means random eye colors, so she did get a lighter green eye color which I really like honestly.
Of course, she's immediately sad because a relative has passed away. I think it was Ariel, unless she's still sad from Triton.
And it looks like she's about to get sadder because it's time for Izzy to go. After the family has had some time to recover, it's time for the twins to grow up! Since their father is Father Winter, I had to give them the winter cake for their birthday.
Calypso has slightly narrow eyes, but I still think she's adorable!
However, Oceanus is probably the cutest male child I've had in my game in a really long time.
Immediately after their make overs, Calypso tries to comfort her brother about Izzy's death.
Moana has completed her Bestselling Author aspiration! Since Nerissa wasn't able to finish it, I gave Moana the Nerd Brain aspiration next. +15
So, I don't remember doing this before, but celebrities can wear a disguise which is just sunglasses and a hat.
Another completed aspiration milestone! +5
While literally just standing on the back porch, Nerissa was struck by lightning.
I love independent toddlers, it makes my life so much easier! I was originally going to stop at Thalassa as far as kids go, but Moana and Ellis both rolled the whim to try for a baby, so I decided to humor them.
And she's pregnant! This really will be the last baby (or babies) for this generation though.
Toddlers dancing is literally one of my favorite things to watch, it's just so precious.
Calypso has finished her first milestone for rambunctious scamp. +5
While trying to assist Thalassa with potty training, Moana wets herself. -5
The dollhouse is a family affair! It's literally the favorite toy in the house.
I can't handle how cute this is. Ellis hugged her autonomously and it's just so precious. He's a great dad to Thalassa, I guess he just hasn't wanted to help out with his step-children.
Another aspiration milestone is in the books for Moana! +5
So, for some reason this is Moana's work outfit. Why someone in the writing career has this, I don't know. But because she's pregnant it looks extra weird.
Like really, look at this side view, it makes her look HUGE. Nerissa's time is coming soon, and she's been spending most of her final days painting on the easel.
I used Calypso's free action to practice typing which after 4 hours gave her a second milestone.
Oceanus loves the puppet theatre and maxes out his social skill.
Izzy's ghost has graced us with his presence and the first thing he does is destroy the dollhouse.
It's time! The final baby (or babies) of generation four are being born!
Twins! Meet baby boy Marlin and baby girl Coral!
Marlin is named after a type of fish. Coral is named after the coral reef. Literally right as the birth was over, before I even got a picture of the babies, Nerissa was dying on her way into the nursery.
everyone was present for her death because they were all upstairs already and everyone is extremely distraught, except for Oceanus who looks like he's laughing.
However, he was smiling for a good reason... ...he was excited about his new brother! He's just excited that he's not the only boy anymore.
I ended up having to remove the door from the mausoleum because even though it was locked, sims were still getting in. But even without a door, it doesn't stop the family from walking all the way over here to attempt to mourn before realizing they can't and going back inside. It's already time for Thalassa's birthday!
She's still very cute! I like that she looks a lot like her Mom while still looking like her dad.
The first thing Thalassa did as a child was go talk to her baby sister.
I decided to adopt a dog for the family, because things aren't crazy enough. I called up pet adoption agency, which for some reason only allows me to invite one dog at a time even though it says 3, and we met this cutie.
We decided to adopt her and we changed her name to Baleen (it was Kellie) and here's a look at her breed and personality.
Baleen is a type of whale and it's also the name of the feeding system for that type of whale. Because of the time the twins were born, it's already time for them to become toddlers!
They're both precious, with purple skin and brown hair.
Marlin is adorable (though, maybe not as cute as his older brother) and he rolled independent! (Seriously, how am I getting so lucky?!)
Coral is PRECIOUS. She has a darker eye color than her siblings, and she's clingy, which seems to be one of the other traits I get a lot.
Ellis seems to be thrilled about having a son, he never leaves him alone.
Moana also seems to have a favorite child. She never did this with any of her other kids.
There wasn't enough random things in the house to "distract" my sims so I bought them an ice cream maker. This really makes me want an ice cream cone.
And also a popcorn maker. I'm interested to see how this ends up playing out. My sims have been very well behaved for the most part. It gets boring sometimes lol. 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.)
