So, lately I've been reading The Latte Game by ciyrose over on BoolProp and I've really been enjoying it, and it looked like a fun challenge. While waiting on the results for my Deepwater ISBI heir poll, I figured it would be a perfect time to start a new challenge!
This is our founder, Yzma Disney. Fun fact: I created her by taking Caspian Deepwater (Deepwater ISBI founder) and Anastasia Kennedy (Kennedy legacy founder) and playing with their genetics in CAS and then changing her skin color, eye color, and hair color. I'm very pleased with how she turned out.
So, for those of you who aren't familiar with the Name Game challenge, here's a quick summary from the rules page: You start with a founder and use the letters of that name to name his/her children, The founder will be destined to have as many children as letters in the name.
Full rules are here.
I've decided to take the challenge a step further and do a theme. I chose Disney because I've been really itching to do something Disney themed, and this sounded fun. Let's get a closer look at our founder, shall we?
The bonus for graduating college is so nice, so I decided to give this aspiration another shot and do it with Yzma. She's cheerful, neat, and a bookworm. Then, of course she's a quick learner.
I picked the name Yzma so I could get Y and Z as quickly as possible.
There are no rules for starting the house like a legacy and so I picked a lot in Newcrest. I've never really played in Newcrest because they don't have a lot large enough for a legacy.
The house isn't anything spectacular because I splurged on the unbreakable toilet. She was left with $160 after building this.
Given her aspiration, I immediately have Yzma apply for scholarships and apply to universities. This left her with $85.
While waiting to hear back from the universities, Yzma begins looking for collectibles to try to get some extra money.
While at the Newcrest park, Yzma plays a game of chess with Dirk Dreamer. I was hoping this would lead to them having a regular pie menu, since it was just a regular interaction that he technically initiated, but even though he's in her relationship panel, they have the typical non-celebrity with celebrity interaction menu.
While waiting for some potential spouses to show up, Yzma practices rollerblading. She was pretty good at it and she didn't fall, she came very close to falling though.
Eventually Gunther Munch walked by. While he's not the most attractive Munch child, I know that Lucas has cute kids since he married a Deepwater spare.
Yzma and Gunther hit it off, for the most part. But Yzma kept getting the embarrassed moodlet from failed flirts, etc.
However, the next day, Gunther invited Yzma to hang out at his house. She accepted, but then he left for work. So, Yzma hung out with an aged to YA Lucas Munch and an aged to elder Mila Munch.
She eventually headed home so she could find out if she was accepted into university and what scholarships she got.
She was accepted into university, but because she was not accepted into any distinguished programs she got a sad moodlet and made a pouting face.
Being a teacher myself, I decided I wanted to put Yzma in the education career. I'm planning to have her go down the administrator path since that pays more than the professor path. So, she started with her major as economics and then immediately got to work on her homework.
She invited Gunther over to work on their relationship together. She got embarrassed from a rejected flirt and made this face.
I'm not going to lie, I swear based on the looks on his face and hers it looks like he hit her. But I swear he didn't!
However, they worked things out and Yzma was able to get them both in a flirty mood from flirting and then she gave him a rose.
She was then able to get her first kiss with him.
Yzma: So, what do you think Gunther, would you like to move in with me?
Gunther: I'd love that!
I kept his hair the same, but here's Gunther post-makeover.
The two immediate got started on the first baby - baby (or babies) Y!
And it was a success! The first baby of this generation is officially on the way!
Yzma: I'm pregnant! You're going to be a Dad!
Gunther: What?! My Mom is going to kill me, we're not even married yet! And we only have $6!
So, I didn't get a picture of it but the first time Gunther proposed to her, Yzma actually rejected him.
Gunther: I'm sorry about before, I don't want to just marry you because you're pregnant, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You make me happier than I ever thought possible, and you are the only woman I've met that understands my love of books!
Yzma: Yes! I will marry you! I love you more than I love books!
They immediately eloped there, because I just thought the background with the river was really pretty.
Gunther has made working on renaissance sim really easy because of being a bookworm, he's usually reading books autonomously and so he gets progress on the first milestone autonomously. Maybe I should have married him into my ISBI family, lol.
I love the fact that our sims can play The Sims, it makes me happy! It also makes me want to find my original Sims 1 game and install it again.
This face can mean only one thing! Pre-parental panic!
Yep, while eating her salad Yzma goes into labor with the first baby of the generation!
I didn't have the money to buy them a bassinet, so I sent her to the hospital to have her baby.
Gunther decided that she should spend a big chunk of the family's funds on buying a BLT from the vending machine while his wife was giving birth.
Yzma: IS THAT MY HEART? WHAT? WHY IS MY HEART COMING OUT OF ME?!
-passes out-
I literally have never seen this happen, but she fainted after seeing the doctor take her heart
It's a girl! Meet baby girl Yori Disney!
These skins are from ModTheSims but I'm in the process of merging them with my old skins from Leh. I will be uploading the merge later!
Yzma is an amazing Mom and she autonomously cares for Yori all the time!
Now that she's in a better mood since she's not pregnant, Yzma works hard on leveling her research and debate skill for her aspiration.
She also picked up a part-time job because they really need some extra money, so she's working as a lifeguard.
Plus, it'll give me points if she reaches the top of it.
It's Yori's birthday and I am so excited that she has blue hair! I felt gypped with Caspian and Venessa's kids.
She has her Mom's teal eyes and the silly trait. I kept the hair she grew up in because when I tried to change it, it made the color a bright neon blue
Yori: KITTY!
Ugh, how cute is she?! I love her so much!
Gunther: So, I was thinking, Yori is just so adorable and it makes me want to have another baby. Do you want to try for another baby?
Yzma: Yes! I'd love to have another baby with you! Well, I mean you do have to get pregnant three more times, so...
And it's a success! She's pregnant with baby (or babies) Z!
Yzma: Guess what? I'm pregnant!
Gunther: What?! It's too soon we just had Yori! Yzma: But...you're the one who.... Gunther: I'm just messing with you, I'm super excited!
The sooner Yori is potty trained, the better. Especially since we don't currently have a bath tub right now.
Yori is a handful, I will say that. As you can see, she did not like the first meal that Gunther gave her and she flung it on the floor. Then, Yzma gave her a PB&J sandwich which she actually ate.
Can you tell that I like cats? Yori seems to like cats too (maybe I should adopt one when I play the family next) and she loves talking to her stuffed kitty.
Yzma spends time with Yori while doing her homework.
Am I the only one who has sims that are obsessed with using the toddler beds as seats?
Being a full time Mom, a full time student, pregnant, and a part-time lifeguard, Yzma is struggling. I'm super grateful that this is not an ISBI because this would have lost me some points. She came home from class and passed out, then she woke up and went to her next class.
Then she came home and passed out a second time. Meanwhile, Yori is sitting there with a dirty diaper.
And it's time for baby Z to be born!
It's a boy! Meet baby boy Zeus!
While talking to her Mom during lunch, Yori maxes out her social skill, earning us our first points of the challenge!
+1 - toddler skill +4 - first time maxing the skill
Yzma: Let me just replace this picture of this guy with this blank page, I think that looks much better. Don't you agree Watcher Haleigh?
Sure. Whatever you say Yzma.
Gunther is an amazing Dad. He's always taking care of Zeus' needs and playing with Yori. I really do love him as a spouse.
Yori has maxed out her potty skill!
+1 - toddler skill +4 - first time maxing the skill
AND she maxed out her imagination skill!
+1 - toddler skill +4 - first time maxing the skill
It's baby Zeus' birthday! He didn't get blue hair, but at least his sister did.
He has his dad's hair and eye color, but he has Yzma's skin I believe. He's really adorable though, and I'm excited to see what he looks like when he grows up!
Just look at that face!
Yzma seems to really love her son too because she never really plays with Yori, but she immediately starts playing with Zeus.
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!
