Hello friends! Long time no see! I got a little bit burnt out of the sims around the time eco was released just because it's pretty much all I was doing during my spare time during crisis teaching. (That's what I'm calling the last few months of school, because it wasn't really what online distance learning will/should look like.) Not a whole lot is new here. My husband and I just started fostering kittens again, which has been amazing. We're doing it through a rescue this time instead of the Humane Society, which unfortunately means we have to supply a lot of the items ourselves, but it's still been fun. We made an instagram for our foster kittens if you want to follow us: @thekittencouple Oh, and the title is because I was trying to think of something clever about me being back and I thought of Eminem's "guess who's back, back again, Shady's back, tell a friend" so thus the title, lol. Last chapter was almost exclusively us working on our new torchholder's aspiration. Which, is Mariana if you don't remember. She also met Zachery Malloy and they fell in love and shared their first kiss together.
I did play these guys for a little bit when eco lifestyle was first released, so there will be quite a few eco pictures in here.
I'm just going to say right now, this thing needs tuned better. It fails more often than it doesn't, and you lose the items. It's very frustrating. It's the bane of my existence, and Mariana's too.
Zachery had gone home after their first kiss, but the next day Mariana invited him back over and greeted him with a passionate kiss.
They even made their relationship together official.
But of course, the main reason for Mariana inviting him over was to ask him to move in with her. Which he graciously accepted.
Here he is post make over. He's of course paranoid, since he was one of the people from Strangerville, so I wasn't surprised. I don't mind materialistic and his aspiration is of no consequence since I can't control him anyway. The biggest problem I have with him is his slob trait. Because that's more work for me (and Mariana.)
I loved this scenery for a proposal. It just looks so bright and happy.
They had a beautiful ceremony. They're really cute together, and I'm super excited to see what their kids look like.
In fact, I was so excited that even though Anemone and Manta are still in the house, I decided to allow them to try for a baby now. And it looks like it was successful! Generation six is officially on the way!
Zachery of course, doesn't seem thrilled.
Zachery: But what if they fall off the dock and into the ocean? It's just not safe! Mariana: My family has been fine here for five generations, you're just being paranoid. My ghosts are obsessed with baking white cakes. I have no idea why, but it's ridiculous.
Tsunami can finally be seen riding around on the roomba, which is the whole reason we have one.
I believe I took this picture to denote the first part of Mariana's aspiration being complete. But I took it back in June, so I'm really not sure.
Bane. Of. My. Existence.
And the colorful paint doesn't come off with a shower, so that's fun. It's a moodlet so it has to wear off on it's own.
More cakes have been made. This is one of the real reasons I took a break from the game, it was driving me nuts.
I finally got pictures of Mariana and Zachery for the wall.
The household is about to get a little bit smaller - Anemone and Manta are growing up to YAs. Anemone adds good to her list of traits, making all three of her traits start with G.
Manta adds self-assured.
They both moved out afterward. Actually, I believe this is where she completed the first part of her aspiration. So I'm not sure what the other picture was.
Soon Mariana is going into labor with generation six!
It's twins! Meet baby boy Challenger (purple) and baby boy Trench.
The Challenger Deep is located in the southern part of Mariana's Trench and is the deepest part of the ocean floor. I think it's safe to say you can tell why I named them Challenger & Trench. Zachery decided that I was earning too many points and passed out.
Then once he got up he went to drink some water.
Then he passed out again.
Mariana is at a point where her aspiration skills and work skills are good, so she's picked up knitting in this tiny craft nook.
She spent a lot of time knitting, and soon it's time for the twins to become toddlers. They're both very cute, and yay for red hair! Challenger looks the most like his father, but with Mariana's skintone.
Trench has the best toddler trait and his Dad's coloring but looks the most like his Mom in his facial structure.
The boys autonomously go play with their blocks.
BANE.
OF. MY. EXISTENCE. Challenger is the first one to try out the rocking chair, and I have to say that it's one of the cutest things.
Because he's independent, Trench tries to potty train himself. I can't get over that face. He looks so unamused and has serious RBF.
The twins both decided to go wake Grandma Hazel up. I feel like she was trying to hide out in this room.
Mariana needed to present an eco idea to someone, so she presented it to her Mom. Which resulted in her standing on the front porch and presenting it through the window.
Mariana has completed the second part of her aspiration by being able to sell extra electricity and water.
Another day brings another birthday, and Coral is becoming an elder.
Coral: I'm too old to be wearing this. Everything hurts. I did think it was time to change her look from the crop top, so I put her in this cute dress.
I'm totally not ashamed that I used her free action to have her reminisce on the rocking chair.
The very next day, Hazel was becoming an elder.
She still looks as pretty as ever!
I decided not to change her outfit, but I had her use her one elder free action to practice her charisma skill.
Trench passed out because his Mom was at work.
Nerissa, seriously? I wish you, your father, and your husband would stop making so many cakes. At least Venessa comes and cleans up.
I felt like now was as good of a time as any for Zachery and Mariana to try for another baby.
She is successfully pregnant!
She never went to tell Zachery for some reason, so I had her tell her Mom. Coral was less than pleased.
And Hazel passes out. Man, I've lost almost half of my points this chapter, so let's end it here. I know it's not my best writing, but a lot of it was older and overall it wasn't very eventful. Stay tuned for more! 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 |
