Full house again

It is my birthday, so I am playing Sims A LOT. I will play again as soon as I've finished this post.

So Fletcher and Emilie have been dating for quite a while now, and they seem to get along despite their rather significant age difference. Fletcher is reaching the end of his Young Adult years and I thought, well, he's going to have to make a decision soon. Is she the woman he wants to spend his remaining 40 or so days with or not?

I thought I had time to make this decision, but after using Master Controller to check Emilie's stats, it turns out I did not. She only has a few days left before becoming an Elder. The decision had to be made NOW.

Fletcher panicked, had sex with her in an elevator at Aquarius, and now she's pregnant. Shortly after knocking her up, he asked her to move in. She lives with us now.

She has a jersey with a strawberry on it, which is excellent

Her maternity wear is somewhat better than Clementine's was, but not by much.

What kind of length is that for stockings??

Oddly enough, Fletcher's reaction when Emilie told him she was pregnant was...kind of dickish.

This was YOUR idea, fool.

But he must have just been taken by surprise, because he immediately apologised and proposed.

That's better.

Now they're engaged, but I'm not sure they'll have enough time to get married before the baby is born. Emilie comes from old money, she's not going to go for a shotgun wedding at The Toadstool. She'll want to pick her own dress and go all out for it as well, so it's probably better to wait. Besides, they've already both been Publicly Disgraced for banging in an elevator at a club. Apparently the other dude in there wasn't impressed.

Eveline has been working on her Lifetime Wish of becoming an Alchemy Artisan before she dies. I think she'll do it. Her latest achievement has been turning Cale into a Tragic Clown.

It's Just So Tragic!

He wasn't impressed.

My life has no meaning.

Daisy is now a toddler (that went quick) but I don't have any pictures of her birthday party because she was one of those glitchy babies that makes everything look like this:

DEMON CHILD

So that was annoying. However, she's turned into a pretty cute kid. And I think the nose is being diluted.

A little bit, right? Humour me here.

For her birthday, Clementine bought her a puppy. His name is Tiberius.

This is the only picture I have right now, okay.

Fourth generation commence!!

Time flies! Things have been happening rather fast. Okay, so Clementine got that cat and I guess it gave her Life Perspective or something because she decided that Brandt guy was a dick (he was) and her first boyfriend Cale is indeed the one for her.

As long as he chops off that mullet. Seriously, dude.

So Cale has moved in, and everything has been going excellently. It turns out he wants to be an alchemist like Eveline, so he's quit his newspaper delivery job to focus on alchemy. He should be pretty successful, since the garden and pond are already set up with all the essential ingredients.

Everybody's love life is going well, actually. Fletcher and Emilie are still going strong, despite the dubious morality of their relationship (she SLEPT WITH his grandfather, guys) and he has even been over to her house and stayed in her room.

Emilie, you are 200 years old, not 6

And Beckett and Eveline are still as hot for each other as they were when that picture on the wall was taken.

You have to admit that's quite sweet

Cale has fit into the family quite nicely. He's already best friends with Eveline and Beckett, though I'm not sure how because Eveline just insults everybody all the time and one of Cale's traits is Grumpy. He's also Artistic, which is nice because no one else has really been using the easels in the living room.

He has two projects going at the same time, my kind of Sim

A couple of days after he moved in, Clementine discovered she was pregnant.

Clearly there are no condoms in those bedside table drawers

Her maternity wear leaves a lot to be desired. Like surface area.

This is not an appropriate outfit to wear around your family

That same morning, one of the family members (I'm not sure who it was, except that it wasn't Beckett because we were gardening when it happened) set the oven on fire. By the time I got to it, the kitchen looked like this:

Bad, but not disastrous

But it escalated very quickly.

Disastrous. For the waffles, at least.

Because I'm not very nice, I decided to sit back and just see what they would do. I haven't given them a smoke alarm, so no one was coming to save them. At first it was hilarious, because they kept doing their panic dance in sync. I thought about recording it and putting it to music. But then Fletcher and Cale somehow managed to trap themselves behind the fire.

WHY WOULD YOU GO AND STAND THERE?

When Fletcher became engulfed in flames, I figured it was time to do something. While Cale ran away like a champ, Fletcher began battling the flames with an extinguisher conveniently located in his back pocket.

Handy.

The rest of the family watched and screamed while Fletcher valiantly sprayed his seemingly never ending ass pocket extinguisher all over the kitchen. The excitement was so great that Clementine peed herself.

She walked away from the fire to do so, which makes sense. No, wait, it doesn't. 

Alas, one extinguisher was not enough, and the fire continued to spread. Soon the dining area was also on fire.

Oddly, that corner cabinet was spared.

Eventually everybody else remembered the extinguishers they also had in their back pockets, and together they managed to defeat the flames. The aftermath was not pretty.

No one is having waffles for breakfast now.

The insurance payout was 1,200, which didn't even cover the cost of the oven. Luckily someone had recently sent the family a video game system, so they sold that, but it still took up the rest of the family funds to replace everything.

This was bad news for Clementine and Cale, who had decided to have a shotgun wedding now that they were having a child so that they wouldn't be Publicly Disgraced when the baby came. Cale took Clementine to the pretty fairy place (Arbotuem? Arbotraem? I don't know) to pop the question, and even though it was pissing down with rain it was still rather sweet.

His face is excellent

So proud

Aww

They decided to have the wedding that same night, since Clementine was pretty heavily pregnant by this point. It was still raining, so the wedding was held at The Toadstool. There wasn't much money to spend, so the only things they bought were a wedding arch, some cupcakes, and some decorative bells. It was still quite nice though.

At least until I realised all the guests were going to have to go up the stairs...

WE CAN ONLY GO ONE AT A TIME

 Also, taking wedding pictures was very difficult due to the overcrowding.

I did not think this through

Couldn't choose Clementine's wedding dress, so I think she got off pretty lightly

Everything went well, they exchanged rings...

Wait. Why is that dude freaking out?

Why is Hank freaking out?

 Then suddenly EVERYONE was doing a panic dance. What? Why? Clementine was the last to find out.

OH SHIT I'M IN LABOUR

 Yep, she went into labour as soon as the ceremony was over. They had to leave the reception to high tail it to the hospital.

So, wedding night sex is out of the question?

 According to my Legacy Naming Rules, the baby's name would have to start with D whether it was a boy or a girl. I had a feeling it was going to be a girl, so I got out my baby name app and discussed names with Tim while Clementine was in labour. Drusilla? Demonessa? Dicks? (The last one was his suggestion).

My feeling was right. The first member of my fourth generation is a girl. Named Daisy. Cale's last name (and now Clementine's) is Driver, so her name is alliterative. How lovely.

Daisy Driver. She is destined for great things. Or porn.

Errbody got old

Eveline got old.

Woo!!

Oh. Still looking pretty good though.

Beckett got old.

WHERE WILL YOU BE WHEN BIRTHDAY STRIKES?

Fletcher got old (er)

And was confused about it.

That guy in the leopard print is NOT dressed appropriately. Come on, dude.

I took this great picture of Clementine.

Haha. You look weird.

Clementine has dreams of becoming an astronaut, so she's started on the Military career track as a Latrine Cleaner. Nice. I was oddly excited about her first day of work. I took screenshots of her going to bed and getting up. They're fairly boring (they look the same too) so I won't put them here. I will, however, show you her bedroom, because as a birthday present she was allowed to redecorate it. Her taste in decor has changed somewhat.

Teenage Clementine's bedroom

Young adult Clementine's bedroom.

She's gone all sweet and old fashioned. Things have not been happening between her and the boy with the stupid name, but things haven't been happening with her boyfriend either. She has been too busy focusing on her career.

I can confirm that both of her love interests have not; as they are both newspaper deliverers.

It's a noble profession.

Fletcher has decided he wants to become a gardener, which is convenient seeing as the family has a massive garden. Let's have a look at how he turned out, lookswise.

Not bad, although the nose, as usual, is large. God, I hope that nose gets diluted in future generations.

Both Clementine and Fletcher graduated from high school on the same day, despite being born at least four days apart. I was fine with that, since it meant everyone only had to go to the boring graduation ceremony once. Also I got a nice family picture or five before they went in. By 'family picture' I mean 'everyone was in the same screenshot'.

You wouldn't put it on your wall or anything.

Clementine was Valedictorian, which wasn't surprising seeing as all her peers seem to have become newspaper deliverers, and Fletcher graduated with Highest Honours. She was voted Most Likely to Electrocute Themselves, and he was voted Most Likely to Get Married. Guess who was more excited?

This guy.

Afterwards they all went out for a family lunch, which was nice. Fletcher rang Emilie after lunch to ask her on a date, but she wasn't interested. That was all she said. 'No, I'm not interested right now.' Cold, so cold.

Eveline has been learning to fish, in an attempt to be able to make ALL THE ELIXIRS before she dies. There's a handy pond in the front yard with all the relevant fish in it, because I am very, very lazy.

Yes, she fishes in her underwear. What of it?

While fishing, she obtained a rather frightening 'sun tan'.

Sorry, I didn't see you there. You blended in with the wood.

She's very committed to her new hobby. Yesterday a man caught on fire right behind her and she didn't blink an eye.

To be fair, he was a paparazzo, and who doesn't want those guys to burn?

I tried to cancel her fishing action and send her to go and put out the poor man, but she was having none of it.

PISS OFF I AM FISHING

I had to reset her, and then she just stood and looked at him like she wasn't sure what he was doing in her front yard. To be fair, he wasn't invited.

Trespassers shall be burnt alive

Eventually, after much prompting, she saved his life.

Fine then.

He rewarded her by immediately taking a picture of her on his phone, which was mysteriously unscathed by the fire that consumed his loins. It must have been an old school Nokia. Certainly not a Lumia.

Fletcher and Eveline went over to Hank and Henri's place to see how Isla was doing. She's a teenager now. Not a particularly attractive one.

I don't feel so bad about Fletcher's nose now.

While they were gone, Clementine decided that it was time to get a cat. She filled her bedroom with cat things, and adopted a kitten from a shelter.

None of the cat stuff ruins the decor! Win.

The new kitten is named Pixel, and she is SO CUTE. She's so small that when she arrived I couldn't even see her at first.

Spot the baby cat

Clementine had already gone to bed by the time the animal shelter dropped her off, but luckily Beckett was still up to collect her.

Awww.

I think he likes her.
