Uglacy Week 8

Last Week: Agnes and Magnus went to college, Agnes and Edith moved out. Dolores killed helpless professors.

-poof-
"I'm old! Er!"
I really see no difference when PlantSims go Elder.
Well, you know what that means!

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4d15aad.jpg

"Retirement!"
Yay! Now you get a very nice bonus of 895 Simoleans a day!

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4d15cea.jpg

Hey Magnus, or may I call you Maggie?
"Hi, and no you may not."
Well, I'm gonna anyways. You seem perplexed by that boot.
"Yes, isn't this floating Badge supposed to mean I'm a good fisherman?"
Yup.

Ha ha! Generation 4 is in the oven!
"Could you please not minimize my suffering?"
Oh, sorry.
Generation 4 is in the swollen, tiny-bladdered oven!
"Not much better."

"Ahh! Ghost!"
Well, that's what happens when you kill professors!

snapshot_94a26f6c_94d15f50.jpg

Good job Benjamin!
-sniff- "I miss my short-shorts..."
-burning brain-

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4d16aa2.jpg

Ha! Another Wishing Well!
What's that, 3 now?

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d169b6.jpg

Nice, Dolores. You're an Ecological Guru!
"Yes, Mom's very proud. She says I'm 'In touch with nature...; and all that.
And I just got a 30k bonus!"

Bun is ready!
"Swelling bun!"
Fine, swelling bun.

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4d16c29.jpg

Aww, little boy. Got Calista's hair, there goes the whole recessive gene thing...
Anyway, his name is Hidalgo.
I chose this name because, as my friend Sarah said, it sounds like a horse's name.
'Nuff Said.

Andrew's Dying!
And even in his final moments, he is thinking about money!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d17305.jpg

Bye Andrew, we'll miss you.
"Hula Girls!"
Abigail: "Like, not cool, honey." -sob-

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d173f7.jpg

One positive is that Andrew left a large amount of paintings.
They seem to all be very good Monet remakes...
Ahh well!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d17549.jpg

Baby number 2!
"Much better. Short and sweet."

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4d177bd.jpg

"Hey there little one! I'm, like your great-grandma Abby!"
Calista: "Hey, erm, could you not wave at my stomach?"
"Drag!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_34d17800.jpg

This picture makes me sad. =(

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4d17984.jpg

Well, at least Abigail didn't have to go too long without Andrew.
She definitely was content with her life.
"Mmm, mai-tai!"
You see?

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4d1798f.jpg

Of course, she died right by her trusty bubble blower.
Bye Abigail, we'll miss you too!
"Like, see you everyone!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d17a34.jpg

I made a nice little "hall of ancestors" sort of thing, it has the graves and pictures of each generation's couple.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34d17af7.jpg

As I wanted to end this chapter on a light note, I wanted to include this funny picture.
Well, it's funny to me.
A) Dolores' random bathing-suit self in the background.
B) Hidalgo not even paying attention to the cake, he's staring at a random fly form a rotten plate.
C) Benjamin and his short-shorts reunited again!


snapshot_94a26f6c_34d17b2b.jpg

And Hidalgo is...
Cute! Dangit! Well, we can hope that the ugly will infect him by teen hood!


Ok, by this point I renounce my promise that there will be a review at the end of each week. =D
Sorry!
I'll start trying to just put random recaps in.

Oh, almost forgot! I wanted to post the new stats!

Uglacy Week 7

Last Week: Magnus was born, and both Dolores and Benjamin got their LTW's down.
Benjamin also became a PlantSim and sprouted a baby!

snapshot_94a26f6c_54cc6377.jpg

Hey there Agnes, you're looking... happy?
-sigh- "My mom's snapdragons are just sooooo delightful!"
Yeah, they make my job easier too.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34d073a8.jpg

I know I said no Badge pictures, but I wanted to include this because it means that all the adults in the house have a Gold Fishing or Gardening badge!
You can tell I really like Seasons!

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4cdabac.jpg

Err, Dolores, why are you inviting that professor that you haven't seen in about 20 years to move in?
"Oh, no reason..." -evil grin-

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4cdb107.jpg

Now, Dolores, is a Professor murder spree really what this family needs right now?
"What?? She's not burning properly! She's like heat resistant!"
Ohh, how horrible for you.

snapshot_94a26f6c_54cdb2d0.jpg

Time for little Sage to grow up...
Right into towniedom!

snapshot_94a26f6c_34cf3fe3.jpg

Well, I forgot to mention that Dolores moved to Natural Science, and got the Cowplant.
"HAHA! Take that Professor!"
Wow, Dolores lots of anger...

snapshot_94a26f6c_54cf409b.jpg

Got Schadenfreude?
She's definitely taking pleasure in other people's pain now...

snapshot_94a26f6c_54cf4502.jpg

"I got fired." -sob-
Ah well, get a new one! Lots of relatives are counting on you being an overachiever!
"No pressure then..."

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4cf4675.jpg

That swarm of lights means it's time for little Magnus to grow up!

snapshot_94a26f6c_54cf469a.jpg

His choice of wardrobe was... interesting to say the least.
Anyways, Magnus is destined, like Agnes for a big family, he too wanted to always be best friends with his family members.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94cf482d.jpg

And out of the well fell...
Cassandra Noire, the prettyful daughter of my Black Widow...
Nope, try again!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74cf49ab.jpg

"I'm a bird!"
Having fun with the water wiggler, Magnus?
"Wheeeeeee!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_94cf4a14.jpg

Agnes, I wouldn't have guessed!
You too?

snapshot_94a26f6c_14cf4c84.jpg

Yet another LTW down, good job Dolores! 100k wasn't so difficult after all!
It seems to be becoming a family tradition of completing 2 LTW's...

snapshot_94a26f6c_94cf529d.jpg

Now that Benjamin's garden is in full bloom, it's time for another inspection!

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4cf5316.jpg

Wonderfully enough, they got another Wishing Well!
Impressive...

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4d04974.jpg

And here's Cassandra Noire, sneaking in a piano from her and Magnus' great date!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d046af.jpg

"Mmm, salad."
Isn't that sort of cannibalistic, Benjamin?
"No."
Ok, I guess...

snapshot_94a26f6c_94d04b79.jpg

Poor penguin, he wants the mounted fish.
As you can see, there's a nice new music room for the Brutys to enjoy!
This might also stop those random drum/bass/guitar buying wants from showing up!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d05128.jpg

Well, after a very nice harvest of Pole Beans, (190 containers, sold for about 6,500 using the fruit bowl), and 3 Sims in the house with a Gold Gardening Badge, it was a good time to start an eggplant garden.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d057a5.jpg

Uhh, Benjamin?
"Who likes short-shorts? I like short shorts!"
Noooooo! Benjy has gone over to the dark side!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_34d059f2.jpg

Well, with two Family Sims in the house, and kids and a spouse possibly soon, it was time to say bye to Edith.
"Bye!"
Bye!
-sob-


snapshot_94a26f6c_74d05b3a.jpg snapshot_94a26f6c_d4d05b6e.jpg

Whooooo! College!
Again, no pictures.

snapshot_b4d05d57_34d05d6e.jpg snapshot_b4d05d57_14d05d58.jpg

Except for these pictures from Uni, which mad me totally agree with the poll I did on BoolProp that agreed that Magnus should be heir.
He definitely got Benjamin's long face, and Dolores' nose!

snapshot_94a26f6c_54d0745e.jpg

Agnes, why is your Professor moving in?
"I dunno, Mom said it could be fun!"
For her, at least...


snapshot_94a26f6c_34d076a5.jpg

-Munch-

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d04e21.jpg

Ha Ha! I have found the perfect spouse for Magnus!
Their gardener, a Family Sim with gray eyes, big lips, and as far as I know naturally red hair!
Her name's Calista Despret.
I'm pretty sure that's a nanny name but...

snapshot_94a26f6c_94d077fb.jpg

Engagement! Hooray! She looks very happy, but very froggy at the same time.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94d07b65.jpg

Well, she looks a bit better after a makeover.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d07d2f.jpg

Bye Agnes!
"Yes, I'm done with this place. I'm leaving to find some cute Townie husband and we can have pretty kids!"
Good luck breeding out the Bruty genetics...

snapshot_94a26f6c_94d08175.jpg

Ooh, Andrew, do not anger Mortimer Goth!
He is a very rich man!
"So am I..."
True.

snapshot_94a26f6c_14d08653.jpg

Wedding time!
"Do you, Calista, take Magnus... dadadadadadadadada. All that jazz.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34d08676.jpg snapshot_94a26f6c_d4d08683.jpg snapshot_94a26f6c_54d086d4.jpg

Wedding pictures!

snapshot_94a26f6c_14d0873a.jpg

I feel this is a good ending point, with the beginning of Generation 4.

Argh, no recap again.
Well the house is pretty much the same, except I added a sort of "Hall of Ancestors", a room with portraits or each generation's couple.

And the house now has only the couples of the first 3 Generations.

Abigail and Andrew
Dolores and Benjamin
Magnus and Calista

That's all for now! Next week, expect babies! Lots of babies!
