5.4 – The One With The Baby Problem

Another big post! Why do I like to do this to myself? Aah well, I’m happy with the content of this one 😀

I still haven’t started work on that damned dress I was going to make, but other that.. I feel awesome!

I can’t be bothered with a recap this time, I only posted a couple days ago and I’m feeling lazy.

---

Amy: Aren’t you the cutest little baby ever!? I must stay here and watch you until I die.

Harry: Waaaa!

Amy’s plan was immediately thwarted by Martin’s attempt to see his son.

Martin: Excuse me, new dad coming through!

It was then I encountered the baby problem. Everybody wants to crowd around the baby swing to watch Harry.

Mia: Amy, I can’t see my grandson because you’re in my way.

Amy: I can’t see my grandson because Martin is in my way.

Martin: Guys, I just want to hold my son!

Being the fullmoon (it seems my mod is working again), there were lots of ghosts and the obligatory zombies.

Can you imagine my delight when I realised that Anne was one of the zoms!?

Instead of journalism attacks, ZomAnne went straight for physical attacks.

That’s Mia, in case the hair threw you.

Mia: MERCY! MERCY, I BEG!

I told you the waterslide was a bad idea!

Amy: I can’t watch my grandson twenty four hours a day, I have to do something.

I thought that ZomAnne needed recording. Forever.

Bubbles: Remind me why I painted a picture of our worst paparazzi?

Because I hate her and want to remember the time she became a zombie.

Bubbles: Harry, wake up, I want to cuddle you.

This is all that happens in the house at the moment. These two work on LTW skills, Mia and Amy are on the waterslide or in the pool, and Harry is confined to his swing.

Amy is so close to mastering the Charisma skill, so she spends 90% of her waking time working on that. Unless I forget about her, and then she’s in the pool.

Night time comes, and the paps bust out their swimwear and get into the pool.

I should really build a fence around that thing, but it’s kind of fun to watch.

Happy birthday Harry!

I completely missed the shot of him blowing out the candles because I was waiting for Mia to show up before I took pictures.

Amy: Woo, I’m the most attentive Grandma ever!

Mia: I’m finally here!

Harry: I’ve already done my sparkling though.

Toddler Harry!

Bubbles hair and Martin’s skin tone – he was originally a Bubbles faceclone so I rerolled his face. I’m not entirely sure it changed anything.

Either way, he’s a total cutie!

He’s an absent minded, excitable little boy who likes classical music, firecracker tofu, and pink!

I then found the next baby problem about having the elevated kitchen.

Amy: Should somebody help him?

Bubbles: Cake first, baby later.

Eventually, Mia rescued him.

Again, I’m not sure ‘rescued’ is the right word as she immediately dropped him into the playprison and left him there.

Harry: Why doesn’t anybody like toddlers? 😦

See? I told you all these two do is play in the pool.

Mia: Sign me up for the next Olympics! My dives are spectacular!

Amy: I’m not sure I really want to be sliding down this so close to the house…

She’s so cute 🙂

Harry: You might be feeling awesome, but guess who’s really awesome!?

Damn, that was fast!

Walls down, faraway plumbob shot because I wanted to capture the points thing…

YAY BUBBLES! And as a Young Adult, too!

And so she completes her LTW, earning me my 37th legacy point (I can’t believe it either), and with the same painting that I think Ella completed hers!?

There was some celebrating.

I mean, it is a big achievement, completing your life’s goal and all…

More Hogwarts Students Gen6 babies!

Lori: Urgh, I can’t believe you get a pool.

Mia: Well that’s not my fault, take it up with the creator.

Amy: This is very nice cake. Very nice indeed.

Bubbles: So what do I do with my life now? I have nothing to strive for..

Maybe you should get a job?

Bubbles: Don’t make me laugh.

HARRY LEARNED TO WALK!

He’s blasting through these toddler skills so quickly!

Harry: Well, I am the Chosen One.

You’re just named after him, don’t get ahead of yourself kid.

Bubbles’ delicious cake breakfast is instantly chucked back into the toilet.

Bubbles: Somebody should write a book on how to deal with this!

They have.

May: Hey Mia! How’s life?

Mia: Why are you still here at 9am?

HAHAHAHA SUFFER BITCH, SUFFER!

These two are still ridiculously in love, which is hilariously appropriate given the song I’m currently listening to..

Amy: Without love, life is like the seasons with no summer~

Mia: Without love, life is rock’n’roll without a drummer~

Martin needs to write reports for work, so obviously we take the easy option of digging through the neighbours rubbish bins for information.

Martin: It’s okay everyone, I’m a cop!

Martin rushes home to write up his report, while his wife works on her latest book.

There’s couple-y shit all over this house, stop it.

Can you see the Alto’s bin?

I spent a gooood five minutes before I finally found it. In the very bottom right corner.

Martin: Don’t panic, I’m a cop!

It didn’t work the first time, I don’t think anybody’s going to fall for that a second time.

Harry discovers the play table!

Bubbles discovers she’s pregnant!

Bubbles: I’m gonna be a great mum.

You already have one kid, remember?

I wanted Martin to question Anne – you know, turn the tables a little bit – but instead the heartfarted and she left.

At least we got rid of her, right?

Bubbles: You’re gonna have a brother or sister soon, Harry, what do you think of that?

Harry: But… I’m the Chosen One?

I warned you.

Amy: I can’t wait to have more grandkids, can you?

Mia: More!? Maybe there’ll be enough to go around this time.

Hey Boa, as much as I love to see you, it’s 11am. Don’t you have to disappear into smoke now?

Boa: Nah, I’m hungry.

I didn’t realise this till now, but Bubbles can write comic books!

So of course we’re going to do that.

Martin: It’s about time somebody got the mail, I don’t think anyone’s checked it since they moved in here!

They haven’t.

His boss.

😥

Martin: Gosh, that was a lot of mail.

I know, right?

This is where Mia spends more of her life now.

I don’t care, it makes my graphics look pretty and I can get all fancy with the screenshots!

Harry: Why is the dead man still here?

Boa: This is much nicer than the afterlife. I’m gonna stick around for a couple more days, kid.

After a nice glitch where nobody could interact with the potty, Harry starts on his potty training!

I don’t know where else to put this; it didn’t take that long anyway!

Martin: Don’t you have somewhere else to be?

Boa: I lived here long before you did, son.

Family outing!

Well, Bubbles, Martin, and Amy.

It’s only so Amy can make more more friends (she needs two more friends to complete this) and so Martin can interview people. Bubbles is stir crazy, so she got to go too.

Amy: So you’re a tourist? How are you liking your stay so far?

Tourist: Is that Blossom Gordon!? Do you know her? Could you introduce me!?

Martin is answering his phone, I swear.

I tried for a nice day out, but BOTH paps from the lot decided to follow us. Anne is obvious, but the lady on the right is Anne’s backup.

I love Charming Introduction. People are instantly become friends!

Anne: *muttering* so that‘s how you make friends…

You need all the help you can get, sweetie.

Martin: Hi, I’m a cop.

Beau: Hi Cop, I’m Beau.

Martin: No that’s not what I –

Martin: Tell me about yourself.

Beau: It all began back when my dad left my mother…

Beau: Your son sucks! He isn’t the Chosen One at all!

Martin: On second thoughts, I don’t want to know about you.

Jonathan is here too!

Martin: They all left me! They’re going home without me and I’m left here in the dark!

Do you know why they left you?

Because your wife is in labour on the other street!

Martin: *offscreen* Oh. To the hospital!

Instead of freaking out like Sims normally do when a woman in labour walks part, they all instead complain that she smells.

Bubbles: I’m about to push a baby out of my body, but you all complain that I smell. You’re all going to die soon, anyway.

Brick’s here! I don’t know why, Galadriel isn’t having a baby and he works for the school.

Maybe he just wanted to support his twin!?

Speaking of twins… Meet Luna Gordon!

Born an easily impressed genius, she slips perfectly into the place of real Luna, and I am incredibly glad I can use this name! She likes pop music, cookies, and spiceberry (YES!).

And here’s Remus Gordon! I dithered for ages on which name to use, then remembered Remus and decided I couldn’t possibly name him anything else.

He was born a heat loving neurotic baby, who likes Egyptian music, Dim Sum, and the colour grey.

They were both born on Week25, Day4, which is exactly 6 weeks after Brick and Bubbles! How time flies in this game…

Harry: Wait, where did all these cribs come from!?

I expanded the room, because I realised that Harry wasn’t actually sleeping in the swing and was instead just passing out on the floor whenever he could.

Bubbles gets home and instantly breaks.

Martin: Honey, get out of the table please. You’re hurting Luna.

Look at the precious little swingers! I’m not going to lie, Luna is my favourite already. I really love the name, and she has my favourite colour in the game. But things change, so we’ll see!

Amy: A fellow spiceberry lover, hey? I think we’re going to be great friends when you grow up!

It’s Leisure Day, so everybody heads out to the pool, and Amy finally gets the hang of the waterslide.

Amy: Whee!

Then she relaxes on the lilo that matches her colours!

Meanwhile, SuperMum is instead caring for her babies.

Bubbles: You’re a real cutie, aren’t you!?

Bubbles: Can you move? I need to see my baby.

Mia: I can’t. I’m transfixed by how cute he is.

Harry: Gwanma magic trick?

Of course baby Harry is right there when somebody dies -.-

Martin: Oh no, my poor son is going to be traumatised for life!

I wasn’t ready for this, though I should have known.

Lyra = Harry
Remus and Luna = Amy…

It’s that damned law again!

Amy: Please, I want to befriend my grandchildren!

Grim: You’re two days overdue, let’s go, lady.

I was too busy being sad to get a MC screenshot, so that will come once her ghost appears.

Martin: Ah, the Grim Reaper was so scary!

Bubbles: Mother!

Mia: Wife! My love!

Harry: DINNER!

I don’t know why Mia and Bubbles thought bubbles look like death mixed with a dinner dish. Deathly Dinner?

HARRY GORDON AND THE DEATHLY DINNER!

Bubbles needs to write that.

I think Bubbles has a favourite….

Bubbles: You’re such a little sweetie, I hope you’re just as adorable on your birthday tomorrow!

Seriously, do you feel like giving poor Remus any attention??

Bubbles: Nah, party time!

Poor Remus.

Martin: Don’t worry Remus, daddy’s here for you.

Though not for much longer, apparently…

Woah, I wrote this post super quickly. Like, an hour and a half maybe? I’m actually pretty impressed, though this was a fun/easy chapter to work on. I like it when that happens.

Updates from around town!

Yessss, similarly aged babies! Though ‘Andre’ is a horrible name, no offence.

I think I missed the shot, but Martin basically got an instant promotion out of this. He’s steadily climbing!

Don’t you dare.

Willow! Ooh, that’s such a sweet name, and if she looks anything like her Momma she’s going to be a cutie. I’m definitely going to look out for her!

Martin’s boss gets married.. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one too, I like Blair.

Wait, didn’t she just have a baby with somebody else!?

❤

I really don’t know who though putting Brick in charge of kids was a good idea, but he seems to be doing okay for himself.

I feel you, passer-by.

😮 Spare baby baby!

A spare’s baby is having a baby… That’s cute, and complicated to say.

Please have some kids already.

Aaah! 😀

Seriously, what happened to Willow’s dad!?

Brandon is Kenny and Sierra’s second son, in case anybody forgot about him. I do, regularly.

As long as you guys don’t forget about Willow.

Well, he’s not old!

And neither is this one! Go Sams!

Yay!

Yes but did you take Willow with you!?

What happened to Bella!?

Heh, the question that has plagued Simmers for years.

Don’t. You. Dare.

Also, I need to fix Galadriel’s adult hair pronto.

Andre and Marques? Guys, get your shit together and give your kids better names!

😀 AngelSam’s gonna be a Gordon! 😛

YES BUT BABIES?

:’)

I’m actually quite proud of these two.

Jon’s a dad! I bet she’ll be gorgeous!

Ooh, something I’ve been meaning to add for weeks (since April!), but on my course one of the assignments involved creating a fictional deer farm and producing records of that farm. It was just to prove we know business stuff like how to fill in movement forms (which I’ve been doing since I was ten but whatever), along with staff records, petty cash receipts, invoices etc.

We had to sign stuff off with a made up name – our fiction deer farm’s manager.

Lyra runs the place, and Bubbles is an employee!

And in my movement form, Lyra Gordon shipped some deer to Tewl Langurd – because he was the first thing to pop into my head XD
