Welcome back to The Deepwater ISBI. I have been in a lot of pain this week so I had been putting off writing a chapter, so that resulted in me having a lot of pictures so I just eventually ended up playing until the heir poll so this is a slightly longer chapter. We start the chapter out in the negative because Anemone passes out. -5
Lagoon has decided Moana's bed is the perfect place to stretch his claws.
Mariana is a great child and helps clean up all the dishes. And that really is a lot of dishes.
Anemone is so freaking adorable, I mean look at that face!
Oh my goodness, the look she's giving me in this picture is hilarious.
Anemone: My Mom is playing with all the dolls and I can't play. The family now has earned 600k. +20
Anemone passed out again. -5
I really needed a break from the toddlers, they were driving me nuts, so I sent Moana, Hazel and Coral to the park. Coral looked for some frogs while she was here.
*Hm, apparently I never took a picture of it but Coral finished her Friend of the World aspiration. I gave her The Curator next. Meanwhile, a bunch of paparazzi and fans swarmed (and fainted over) Moana as she played a game of chess.
Pelagic really likes his little sisters and can be found hanging out with them often. Though, it looks like Manta is more interested in Lagoon.
So, I didn't get it on camera but Coral put Manta in the high chair and then gave her a sandwich. Then, Anemone walked over and literally took the sandwich off her sister's highchair before she could eat it. I didn't pause the game in time, but Manta passed out. This is her waking up. -5
Moana has maxed video gaming. +10
Hazel's mean trait typically means she'll randomly yell at Lagoon. She did it three times back to back here.
Anemone and Manta try to cheer him up though.
I decided to send the kids and adults to the beach so they could go snorkeling.
Mariana is making a mess on the floor, however, on the bright side she's doing it in the inspiration room so at least it's building her creativity skill faster.
Truthfully, the messes don't bother me anymore now that I know the roombas will clean it up. Manta sandwiches herself between the two office chairs to play on the wabbit tablet.
A rare sight: both twin toddlers are asleep at the same time.
The day has finally arrived for Anemone and Manta to become children! Playing two toddlers in an ISBI while sore from shoulder surgery, and taking pain medication was NOT a fun thing. Hazel's genes are definitely very noticeable in Anemone. I gave her a little rain cloud shirt to go with her gloomy trait.
Manta is also adorable, and I think she definitely looks the most like Hazel. She's also my very first sim to have the Child of the Islands trait, so it would be cool if she wins since I've never gotten to play with that.
Thanks to the inspired room, Mariana actually completed the first tier of her aspiration on her own. +5
Manta went to go "mourn" her ancestors, but of course I have taken the door off, so she ended up just running inside like this after because of the rain.
I really liked this picture of Coral and Anemone swinging together on the swing set.
Lagoon is now an elder kitty.
And he apparently isn't thrilled about that, because he immediately runs away.
He came back at some point, because I saw him like this, but I never got the notification that he came back.
Mariana completes the second milestone of her aspiration. +5
Anemone and Pelagic are both whiz kids and had already gotten credit for their chess games, so Coral read to them for two hours completing both of their initial milestones. +10 I sent Coral to space to get a few crystals for her aspiration.
So, I didn't get a ton of pictures of it but most of the house suffered from this disease throughout this chapter.
Pelagic receives an A at school.
Unfortunately, Moana's time has come. She' was a very successful sim, and she'll definitely be missed.
Shortly after Moana died, it was time for Coral to become a mature adult.
She put on a little weight, but she still looks great.
It was also the oldest twins' birthday!
Pelagic seems to be a face clone of Coral. But he's still very handsome.
Mariana is very pretty, and I think most of her face, except the eyes, is a clone of Coral's but she still looks different enough! I sent Coral to the Forgotten Grotto to work on her aspiration and get some of the crystals etc. there.
She also caught frogs, but because she is squeamish, she was not thrilled about this.
In fact, she even through up in the toilet.
& no she didn't pee herself, I'm not sure what the puddle is from honestly. Pelagic is obsessed with doing his homework on the toddler bed.
Mariana: Why are you over here? I don't want to talk to you anymore, not until you're a teenager. I just hate children.
Anemone: But we used to be friends...I don't understand. Mariana: I said go away Anemone. You're making me tense. It's time for Hazel's mature adult birthday!
She's still as beautiful as ever!
Thimble is having a rave in her pen.
Manta has completed the first part of her aspiration. +5
Mariana is hacking, which is tradition with my families apparently. She only had a C but she did hack herself to a B. I use Hazel's mature adult action to have her work on her charisma.
Moana's ghost is out, and she gets stuck between the bed and the side table. Makes sense.
After playing with Bun Bun, Manta completes the next part of her aspiration. +5
The twins are completely inseparable, I love it.
Pelagic: Um, sis, this popcorn looks a bit...overcooked.
Mariana: No it doesn't. It's just black flavored. Pelagic: Um, I don't think that's a flavor. It says this is supposed to be buttered popcorn. Pelagic is a good kid, honestly. He even works on his school projects.
Anemone and Manta came along before long and distracted him while he was working though.
Lagoon's final days are approaching, but he's decided to runaway again.
Some of the ice cream flavors and combinations in this game are weird, I'm not gonna lie. But it's still really cool.
Lagoon has arrived home! He's sick unfortunately, but we give him a wellness treat and then he's all better. I've gotten all of the postcards from Thimble. I also later realized I could have put them on the pen.
Lagoon decides to pass away right as Father Winter shows up.
Who, is somehow still Heath Belcher. He was bugged somehow. I ended up moving him in with Oceanus and then he still didn't die so I ended up deleting him from the game. Coral ends up having to give herself a pep talk in the mirror because she is so distraught about the loss of Lagoon.
She even decides to call up the pet adoption agency to meet some new kitties.
When I saw this kitty, Burger, I knew I had to adopt her. She has heterochromia and I've always wanted a kitty with heterochromia.
Burger is renamed to Tsunami and given a pink bow. That mischievous trait is concerning though.
I didn't know sims could still do this? I never directed her to or anything, she just chose to do it and it said "relaxing" but I can't direct my sims to do that? Which makes me sad.
OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THIS. IT'S SO CUTE.
Okay, it's time to retire the popcorn machine. Anemone's fat percentage is completely maxed out, meaning she's as fat as a sim child can get.
Tsunami also has decided to stretch her claws on Moana's bed. Hazel gets struck by lightning when arriving home for work.
Then, she takes a slice of the cake Coral made for Anemone and Manta's birthday before she could add birthday candles.
Then, I noticed that Tsunami prefers to sit on top of Thimble's cage, whereas Lagoon would always sit at the bottom.
Finally, Coral was able to make a new cake for the girls to celebrate their teen birthday.
Anemone is very pretty. She still has her fat completely maxed, however. I'm not really feeling her aspiration either.
Manta is stunning, and while her fat isn't maxed it's very close (75%)
I really like the variety of the kids this generation. They're also stunning! I definitely have a favorite though. Or two.
Here's a quick look at their full bodies, though it's hard to see their weight here, but you can also see I gave Anemone another rain cloud outfit since she's gloomy.
Manta starts working out immediately, on her own. Welcome to the Deepwater Hackfest!
Pelagic and Mariana hack their grades to an A. +10 Anemone hacks her grade to a B. I got a notification that Thimble was hungry, and then not even a sim hour later when Coral got home from work, I got a notification she died from not being fed. So, this is the family's new rodent.
While looking for crystals and metals, Coral pees herself.
Then, she's sad because a friend of hers died so she plays sports very unenthusiastically..
Hazel has maxed her fitness out and also has a case of the stripes.
Anemone hacks her grades again and fails so she is now down to a C.
Coral collects some elements from the mailbox completing an aspiration milestone. +5
Then by collecting some of the things from the garden, she completes her aspiration. +15 I gave her Fabulously Wealthy next and she auto completes the first two tiers. +10 Pelagic has an accident, right in front of the toilet. -5
Manta then sets the grill on fire. -10
Thankfully, Coral came to the rescue and puts the fire out.
Manta grabs Tsunami and runs out of the house with her and panics while holding her for several sim hours after the fire was put out.
Hazel then passes out. -5
It's time for Pelagic and Mariana to become young adults!
Pelagic adds geek to his list of traits, as well as responsible. +5
Mariana decides to be good, like her mother, and also responsible. +5
Coral screams happy birthday to her children. Coral: ACTUALLY, I'M TELLING EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR THE BEST KID TO TAKE OVER FOR ME. 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! 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 |
AboutThe Deepwater ISBI is my first attempt at completing an "I'm Surrounded by Idiots" challenge.
