Welcome back to another chapter of the Deepwater ISBI! I've been having a ton of fun playing this family and I hope you guys have been enjoying it as much as I have. Here are our results for the heir poll. I was really surprised to see that Ariel only received one vote. I thought for sure she would have more. I put my two votes in a different color so that you could see that my votes didn't influence the decision of heir, either way our next torch-holder was going to be Nerissa! So, let's catch up with the family, shall we? Remember, Nerissa is not a young adult yet so Caspian is still the torch-holder. Triton became a young adult in the last chapter, and so the rules state that since he's a spare he must move out immediately.
So he hugs his father and then moves out.
*since I have MCCC marriage and pregnancy turned off, I moved him in with a random townie and used MCCC to manually marry them and start a pregnancy. But that's the only piece I played in it. Nerissa has finally decided to start doing her homework. I guess she decided that was a good thing to do since she's going to be the next torch holder.
I have no idea why the door on the house is bugged, I fixed it later. Caspian: Son, you do realize I was about to go and paint.
Neptune: You're eating breakfast. Caspian: I was going to eat and paint. Neptune: Not anymore. Nerissa spends her morning hacking and ends up going down a grade, undoing the work she put in on her homework.
Ariel is really pretty, so I'm still really surprised she didn't get many votes.
Meanwhile, our torch holder keeps falling on the treadmill and hitting her face. Which seems like it would be incredibly painful.
I recently redecorated their bathroom and thus the title of the chapter was born because first Nerissa takes a bath and plays the whole time.
And then immediately after she gets out Neptune does the same. Ariel did it later on that evening too, but I didn't realize until she was getting out so I never got a picture.
Hi Neptune, how are you doing? Whatcha watching? Neptune: Sim of the Dead Sounds cool, are you enjoying it? Neptune: Sobbing. No, it's just so scary.
Because she has the Evil trait, Nerissa will randomly laugh maniacally while doing different things around the house. Tonight, she's trolling the forums.
Nerissa: They're just so gullible! Triton happened to swing by the house, so Caspian gave Triton a key to the house so he could come and go as he pleases. That way we can still have him visit from time to time.
So, I couldn't help but laugh a little at this. Neptune's bladder is incredibly low, but it's time for school so he walked like this all the way to the magic spot on the lot where he gets ported to school.
Triton comes over to visit and looks angry. He stomped around the house angrily for the first few hours of his visit.
Ariel hacked her grades and now has an A. +5 points
But then when she gets home from school she passes out. -5
Nerissa goes to try to nap on her parents bed, which is where Ariel ended up napping and Caspian is sleeping, so she passes out on the floor -5
At least these two are sleeping, I guess?
The family enjoys a grand breakfast together for winterfest, which Ariel commemorates with a selfie. Then, in her underwear, Venessa helps Ariel with her homework.
She's on a roll today, she helps Neptune with his homework next.
But, Neptune later goes and hacks his grades and gets an A. +5
Then Venessa watches a movie with Ariel and Neptune but talks the whole time.
Narissa is still trolling the forums, but seems interested in the fact that her father is getting a present from Father Winter.
Just like last winter fest, this gift is also empty. Because their stairs are so close to the water, a lot of times when people come over to visit they change into their swimwear because the game thinks they're walking through water.
So here you have Lilith Vatore coming to visit in a bikini. Venessa reaches the split in the painter career, and I accidentally selected the path that requires her to have charisma skill to get promoted.
So, I decided to use her adult action to have her practice speech. She got to level 3 before Neptune came in to use the bathroom and made her leave.
Caspian has finished the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. Since he'll be passing over the torch soon, I gave him a passive aspiration of Fabulously Wealthy and he immediately completes 2 of the milestones.
It's also time for his birthday! He's a very handsome looking elder, I really like him. He's on my gallery page if you're interested, MeadowThayerr (with 2 rs unfortunately.)
That same night is Ariel's birthday as well!
Caspian celebrates his daughter becoming a young adult by blowing very loudly into a trumpet.
She adds ambitious to her list of traits and now has the exact traits as her mother.
She then hugs her Dad goodbye and moves out.
So, I found a little trick to getting ISBI spouses to sleep when they're tired - woohoo with them and they'll sleep right after.
Caspian's handiness is pretty high so I have him start upgrading some of the appliances in the house so that they'll hopefully stop breaking so much.
We get the notification that the flea market is in town, so we head to town and buy them all. Only one of them was new so we still need one more. We had haggled them down to 25% off so we made a little profit too.
I had brought Nerissa with him in case any potential spouses showed up. I'm not sure if he's my top pick or not, but we saw this guy named Lionel and he has purple eyes. I thought he might be a fun pick for an ISBI.
Speaking of fun things for ISBIs, I bought the family a coffee pot because it's not an ISBI if a sim doesn't try to drink coffee instead of sleep. Nerissa is finally successful with her hacking and has an A. +5
Venessa has befriended the flower bunny for Easter!
Since Caspian's handiness was maxed, I had him go unlock the Forgotten Grotto just in case we ever want to go fishing there.
He then pees himself before I'm able to have him explore.
But after peeing himself he heads in and we get this semi-cool photo.
Back at home and Neptune is looking like he wants to be Joe Exotic. Sorry bud, I can't help you.
Nerissa and Caspian get some bonding time in on the chess table.
Nerissa: TAKE THAT YOU STUPID TRASH CAN.
Mood swing huh? I don't think kicking that trash can is going to help you. Nerissa: That hurt.
Well, maybe you shouldn't kick the solid wood trash can. And now it's time for Nerissa to become a young adult! She's gorgeous! Meanwhile, it looks like Caspian is trying to take a picture of the cake.
When I made the pink cake, I totally forgot about the fact that Neptune would have to use it too. Oh well, he's just a spare.
Neptune: And I was runner-up, don't forget that. Yeah, yeah. I did have a good wife picked for you too, but you won't be marrying her now. Nerissa adds child of the ocean to her list of traits.
And so does Neptune, giving him the same personality as his father.
I use Neptune's young adult action to have him hug his sister and then move out.
And with that, Caspian passes the torch to Nerissa. 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 |
