Welcome back to another chapter of the Deepwater ISBI! If you read my Name Game challenge, you already know this, but just in case I wanted to give everyone a heads up that this might be my last chapter for a little while because I am getting surgery on my shoulder tomorrow and so while I might be able to play, it'll be hard for me to type and so I likely won't be able to write any chapters. It was still late from Coral's YA birthday, so we start out by having her work on her logic skill that she needs for her career.
She's working in the conservationist career because I wanted to try to get Sulani cleaned up the rest of the way since I didn't realize that was a thing you were able to do. Soon though, she's able to head out to a community lot and start working on her aspiration. +5
Of the non-brunettes, this guy here was the cutest looking sim she met, but I'm not super pleased.
She later met Hazel Swanson and Don Lothario.
I wasn't sure who I wanted her to marry, so I started a club with romantic actions being permitted and let them all hang out together. I figured that maybe it could be like that old Sims 2 bachelorette challenge and we could see what would happen. Don of course had no problems flirting with Hazel but nobody really seemed to pay attention to Coral. Except Hazel. Hazel didn't really start flirting with her, but they did start talking and built up a decent relationship.
Coral: Thank you for choosing to hang out with me, those guys were really creeping me out.
Hazel: I'm just honored you're willing to hang out with me, I thought for sure you and Dillan had something going on. Coral: No, I actually had my eyes on someone else. Coral: YOU!
The two then became girlfriends.
And the next evening, Hazel even moved in.
So even though Hazel was an EA generated townie, she did have CC hair and I liked it so I decided to leave it on her. I'm not thrilled about her mean trait, but she has black hair and black eyes so I think it'll be okay. I gave her earrings to match Coral's necklace. The first thing Hazel does is destroy the dollhouse, I think she's going to fit right in.
Also, why does Thimble's though bubble still show but none of the sims' thought bubble show in pictures? Coral: I know we haven't been together long, but I love you Hazel and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?
Hazel: Yes, of course I will! I love you too, Coral!
The two then put on their matching wedding dresses and were married by the water!
Coral is successfully pregnant with the first baby of this generation! Though, with my luck, it's probably twins.
Coral: We're pregnant!
Hazel: But I wanted to carry the baby! Why do you get to carry it? Coral: I'm sorry, maybe you can carry our next baby? Hazel: Okay, that sounds good to me! I'm glad you're the other mother of my children.
Moana: I'm the only lazy sim around here, you better get a job and provide for my daughter and my grandchildren. These bills are piling up. Seriously, Moana came to complain to her about bills and this is the face she made, lol. Even the ghosts are celebrating Moana with confetti.
Coral spends some time working on her charisma for her aspiration. +5
Lagoon has decided to runaway, I guess he knows things are about to get crazy around here.
Coral puts out an alert for the missing furball.
She then heads to a community lot to work on her aspiration some more, but instead of using the bathroom decides to stand outside of it and complain about the rain.
While working on her aspiration, Malcom Landgraab gets struck by lightning.
However, this doesn't stop her from getting her third milestone completed. +5 It's also Winterfest. Strangely, Heath Belcher is still the Father Winter even though I have aging turned on. He's immortal, I guess.
He gives Coral a painting worth about 2k.
Shortly after Coral gets home, Lagoon comes back too.
Hazel is going to fit right in with this family, she takes a nap in the family's favorite napping spot. Coral needs to reach charisma level 10 for the last tier of her aspiration, so she spends a lot of time working on it while she's able. But look how big her belly is!
Coral comes home from work early because she's in labor.
Since I can control her, I send her straight upstairs so she can give birth.
Meet baby boy Pelagic and baby girl Mariana. Mariana got Coral's purple skin! Pelagic is a word that means relating to the open sea. It's also one of the zones in the ocean. Mariana is named after the Mariana Trench which is a deep sea trench in the Pacific ocean. It is located in the Hadal zone, and I almost named her Hadal but liked Mariana better. Hazel was at work when Coral gave birth, but as soon as she arrived home she had her pre-parental freak out.
Hazel is a pretty good Mom, I have to say. She really does love her babies.
Their time as infants was pretty uneventful, and soon Pelagic and Mariana are become toddlers.
Pelagic is very cute and it looks like he has Hazel's nose.
Mariana's facial structure does look different than Coral's, so that'll be good. She also has a lighter shade of purple than Coral does. I assume Hazel's skin diluted it. The first thing Pelagic does as a toddler is look at the picture of Hazel. He really does favor Hazel.
Hazel has been a wonderful mother, she put them both in here to give them food.
Of course, she doesn't bathe them or put them to bed, but she does feed them. But now the twins are taking synchronized naps in the living room.
Except, Pelagic passes out when he goes upstairs. -5
As promised, Hazel gets to carry the next baby (or babies!)
Hazel: I'm pregnant! It's finally my turn to carry the babies!
Coral: But are you sure this was a good idea so soon, we have twin toddlers and they're a big handful. Hazel: We've been over this, we did the math right and the twins will grow up on the same day that this baby becomes a toddler. It's going to be fine, Coral. Hazel: Okay, maybe it's not -puke- fine I'm just so -puke- nauseated all the -puke- time. Coral's pregnancy wasn't -puke- like this.
Okay since most of Moana's needs don't drain, she's really boring. She spends a lot of time just standing around. Which, I'm sure is every lazy sims dream, minus the standing part, but still.
I guess I spoke too soon because she soon maxes out her painting skill. +10
I used Hazel's young adult action to work on her Charisma skill for a promotion. Soon, she's going into labor with the next baby. Since she's not the torch-holder I have to either take her to the hospital or let her labor at home. I chose to let her labor at home.
Coral has her pre-parental freak out and runs around the house like this while still taking care of the twins.
Labor exhausts Hazel and she passes out. -5
Lagoon can feel the chaos and he runs away.
Hazel passes out, again. -5
She finally makes it upstairs to give birth!
Meet baby girl Anemone and baby girl Manta!
A sea anemone is named after the anemone flower and they are a close relative of coral and jellyfish. Anemones are stinging polyps mostly attached to rocks or coral reefs waiting for fish to get trapped in their tentacles. A manta ray is the largest ray in the world, they are highly intelligent and also highly threatened. In Spanish, Manta actually means blanket or cloak and is used to describe their flat bodies. Hazel still hasn't made it to bed yet, though she did manage to pee. -5
Mariana wants to participate in the passing out "game." -5
Lagoon arrives home, but seems hesitant about going in the house. At least he brought us presents. Mariana passes out again. -5
Thalassa invited Coral over, so we brought Moana along so the kids would go to daycare. This is her husband, Fuifui, and their daughter Arielle.
Coral decides to sleep in their one bed - which is a single bed. Fuifui comes in to tell her that it's inappropriate and she should stop.
Right before they headed home, Calypso came by for a visit.
The next evening, everyone was in good spirits, so I sent them to a restaurant together.
Because Moana is a celebrity, their entire meal was free.
Coral and Moana spent most of their time coloring on their placemats.
Then, the bartender died and everyone stopped to mourn him.
Thalassa, Fuifui, and Arielle showed up.
Arielle: But mom, why do we have to sit outside? It's raining. Can we go inside with Grandma and Aunt Coral & Hazel? Fuifui: I think have to agree with Arielle here, dear. Thalassa: NO we are eating outside, it's calmer out here. I also noticed that Poseidon's daughter, Paisley, is the chef tonight. Then Moana decided she should clean all the dishes in the restaurant.
I hate that her eyes get like this because of the celebrity walk. Back home, Lagoon tries to get to Thimble.
Mariana passes out again. -5
And then I finally end up having to give Coral a moodlet solver because she's about to pass out and everything is so chaotic.
But thankfully, tonight the younger twins are becoming toddlers, and the girls both have black hair!
And because my math was actually right this time, Pelagic and Mariana are becoming children!
Pelagic is adorable, and I think he favors Hazel.
Mariana is very pretty. I see a good mixture of the Deepwater genes and Hazel's genes. Anemone is very precious! Coincidentally, this hair is actually a boy hair. It's supposed to be Link's hair from Legend of Zelda, but it looked so cute on her.
I gave Manta the hair that is supposed to be Zelda's hair to match her twin.
The only differences I'm seeing between the girls right now is their eye color (one is black and one is dark brown) and their mouth shape. Anemone is a girl after my own heart and animal crackers calm her down immediately.
Manta is precious though, and I just love their semi-matching outfits! That's where we'll leave this chapter! I will have another chapter out as soon as possible! 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.
