Hello everyone and welcome back to the third chapter of my ISBI! I feel like Neptune is looking at his sister to try to figure out why her skin randomly changed, since I had just installed my toddler defaults properly at this point.
These two are adorable and constantly hug each other autonomously.
The nursery is still everyone's favorite place to hang out.
Ariel is a delicate flower and eats her peas with a spoon and I love it so much!
For fun, Triton enjoys making messes on the floor. I feel like this family makes messes way more often than my legacy kids did, but then again this family doesn't have a lot of engaging things to do yet.
More cute and sweet toddler hugs!
Unlike Ariel, Neptune chooses to eat his peas with his hand. It looks like he may not be enjoying this experience very much.
Ariel: BUBBA! WAKE UP. I NEED BATH.
After a quick bath, Ariel is ready to blow out her birthday candles!
She's a super cute kid. She's a social butterfly and has the neat trait like both of her parents. The first things he does after her birthday? Takes a nap on the couch.
So, I found out that clubs are acceptable as long as you don't change the accepted activities. Which, is fine with me. So, I created a family club where one of the accepted activities is to paint, and now Venessa is finally painting!
This kid sure likes to nap.
If I remember correctly, Ariel broke the dollhouse during an emotional meltdown right before she became a child, now she's crying over the broken dollhouse.
Neptune has passed out in the hallway. -5 points.
Caspian has peed himself while trying to take care of the twins. -5
Caspian: Hi, I'd like to hire a nanny. No, I'm not going to work. No, this isn't a legacy family. Can you please just send a nanny over? Thanks!
This is the nanny they send over. He spent the first hour standing on the front porch.
Then, the next few hours were spent talking to Triton while he played dolls.
It wasn't until Caspian and Venessa went to work, and the kids went to school, that he actually started helping out with the toddlers. Caspian was even able to get promoted, even though he doesn't look very happy about it.
Venessa has even been able to spend time playing with her kids since she's not pregnant.
Neptune really loves giving hugs. And yes, the nanny is still there. He was there for like 24 hours before I dismissed him.
Neptune has passed out again -5
It's Caspian's birthday, and while I didn't throw him a birthday party, the neighbors happened to be bringing free food over at that point so they stayed for the party.
He looks pretty much the same because of my default skins.
It looks like aging up took a lot out of him, so he passes out. -5
Meanwhile, Neptune is looking at him like "yep, that's how I pass out too." A very dirty Neptune goes into the nursery to play with blocks.
In the middle of cooking breakfast, Caspian passes out again. -5
Then, after I finally get him back in bed, Nerissa comes and wakes him up. The family's house now has a seconf floor. It's still pretty empty though.
They even have a chess table on the back deck.
Taking care of twin toddlers has been rough on everyone, even Venessa. -5
The monster under the bed shenanigans have begun.
After the monster was finally sprayed, and Ariel finally went to sleep again, Neptune came and woke her up.
Immediately after, Nerissa came to wake up Triton.
I don't remember if I had a point to this picture, but he's just so cute.
Ariel enjoys doing sit-ups right in front of the main door to the house.
We have a triple birthday tonight! First up, Triton!
Who ages up feeling a bit dizzy. Next up are the twins! Finally we won't have any toddlers in the house.
Triton is very handsome. He has his mother's eye color (which I forgot to mention earlier) and I think her facial structure too, but I see a lot from Caspian in there too.
Nerissa is adorable, and is easily my favorite right now. It's also worth noting that she's the only one this generation to get her father's eye color. She got the Happy Toddler trait. +5
Neptune is also really adorable. He got cheerful just like his sister. He's the only child this generation to not get Happy Toddler.
Nerissa: This chocolate cake is really delicious, don't you think?
Neptune: Yes, it's really good. Seriously cheerful sims smile over everything and I love it. Ariel: MOM COME QUICK, THE MONSTER IS BACK! MOM HURRY!
Venessa: Ariel, I just don't see it sweetie. But I'll go ahead and spray it with my super handy Anti-Monster spray.
Caspian has completed another aspiration milestone. +5
He heads down to an art museum to get started on another. I hate that teens hack so much. Does anyone know if there is a mod to limit the amount of autonomous hacking? He ended up lowering his grade, which sucks.
These kids pretty much spend all of their spare time swimming in the ocean.
Seriously, if I can't find one of them, I check the water. That's usually where they are.
More free food! But I'm not sure why they're just sitting here hanging out while the entire family is sleeping.
I didn't see it happen because I was checking on the kids, but Venessa wet herself. -5
Triton: I have to pee. And I'm tired. But I also have to pee. This sucks.
Well, that's what happen when you nap instead of sleep. Neptune: OMG IT'S A MONSTER AGAIN. MAKE IT GO AWAY.
I think it was at this point that I finally remembered to buy them the nightlights. Neptune: Thank you for the nightlight Mom, now I can sleep soundly without worrying about monsters under my bed.
Triton has been working out trying to lose some of the weight he put on.
Ariel has finally taken a break from swimming to play with her dollhouse. I either hadn't bought nightlights yet at that point, or I forgot them in the girls' room.
After school, and all four kids are exhausted. They all went in and took naps in random locations in the house too.
It's Venessa's birthday!
She looks the same, because of my skins, but I can tell she's gained a bit of weight.
The spice market is in town, and I really want to get the shirt from winning the curry challenge, so I send a very exhausted Neptune and Triton to the festival.
I then have then "try curry challenge together" and they both fail.
After forcing them to do it three more times, Triton is successful and unlocks the shirt for me.
Ariel makes some of the best facial expressions. Here, she's mad because someone else in the house had an emotional meltdown.
Here, she's happy because she just maxed her motor skill. +10
Also, at some point she completed a milestone of social butterfly +5 I added a ladder to their deck and so now Venessa enjoys doing cannonballs off the back of the deck. Another birthday in the Deepwater house, today Ariel is becoming a teenager.
So I had a clever caption for this about how she was just glowing, etc. but I think it's funnier to point out that it literally looks like the house is on fire behind her.
Here she is post makeover. In hindsight, I kinda wish I had kept her toddler/child hair on her, but I still like this one. You just can't see the earrings I gave her.
She gets a food aspiration just like her brother, and becomes cheerful like her two younger siblings. The flea market is in town, and while the snow globes aren't there, Caspian haggles and gets a discount on these metals which he buys and then resells.
I also didn't realize that I have him and Triton in basically the same workout gear, oops. I ended up using Nerissa's one childhood action to send her to school one day when she tried to skip.
That same day I used Triton's free teen action to do the same thing.
I updated the family's kitchen a bit, but I'm not really sure that I like it to be honest. I'm having a hard time figuring out this house.
Neptune actually autonomously does his homework.
He's been playing with toys and is super close to finishing a milestone of his aspiration.
Nerissa has gotten bored and so she starts making a mess all over the house. Ariel and Triton prefer to eat breakfast at the bar instead of the table.
Neptune had just been scolded for making a mess inside, and so he then goes outside to make a mess. That still counts as making a mess, bud.
Neptune begins autonomously working on his school project.
Caspian came over to help him but he decided to stop working on it. So Caspian ended up finishing it for him.
Ariel enjoys napping on the water float.
Caspian has completed another aspiration milestone +5
Triton: Take that stupid school project.
Um, Triton that was Nerissa's school project. Triton: Well, I don't care. I can't destroy mine because I never started it. It's still in a box. Even some random lady that I don't know, and have no idea how she even got here, comes over to take a nap on our couch.
Neptune made a mess and almost immediately stops and begins mopping it up. I guess he's starting to learn.
Ariel: So, who do you think is going to be the next torchholder? Triton: Well, I'm the oldest so it should definitely be me. Ariel: But I'm the oldest girl, and let's be honest most people vote for the girls on these polls. Triton: Good point, but we may have to worry about Nerissa and Neptune. What if they end up being better looking than us? Ariel: Please, I'm gorgeous already, I don't think Nerissa will be prettier than me. Neptune has maxed out his creativity skill. +10
Nerissa is a great kid and helps keep the house clean. Even if she's cleaning up a puddle that's never going to disappear due to broken plumbing.
Nerissa maxes out her motor skill. +10
Venessa painted this really pretty picture. I needed the money so I sold it, but I had wanted to hang it up.
Neptune stays home from school sick. He sure doesn't look sick to me.
He finishes an aspiration milestone though. +5
And then Nerissa maxes out her creativity skill. +10
Triton is hacking again, this time I don't mind because his birthday is tomorrow so it would be cool if he got an A. Unfortunately the computer broke and i didn't realize it until it was too late.
Venessa, why do you look so upset?
Venessa: Because I had a rough day at work. But you got promoted? Venessa: Yeah, I know. I can't control my face. It's a triple birthday again - and about to be the end of the chapter and time for a poll! First up is Triton. Followed by Nerissa.
Ariel: Oh crap, she just might be prettier than me. I might have trouble winning this poll afterall.
And finally, little Neptune!
While Neptune ages up, Nerissa and Triton sing horribly, but at least they're in sync.
Here we have Triton as a young adult. He has child of the ocean as an added trait.
Nerissa is GORGEOUS. She's cheerful and evil and the only sim this generation to not get a food related aspiration.
Neptune has a very strong jaw, but he's very handsome still. He adds neat to cheerful.
And here we have the whole generation side by side. Do you know who you're voting for yet?
Ariel: Well, that's all folks. Be sure to comment and go to the heir polls to vote for your favorite one of us. That's where we'll leave this chapter! Be sure to scroll down to vote in the heir poll. You can vote here AND on BoolProp if you'd like! You can also just comment on my post on The Sims Forums too! 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.
