Uglacy Week 10

Last Week: The Bruty's broke in their new house. Hidalgo showed egocentric qualities, Tilda spent more time as the forgotten child, and Beulah was born.

Magnus and Calista: Tee-Hee! You said "moar bebbes".
Yes, but I think you should have done it in... private.
Well, I guess that's the price of a home business.

I obviously missed some pictures of Hidalgo's maxed skills, but now he has maxed all of them!
"Now Hidalgo knows everything!"
-groan-

"Arr! Hidalgo is a pirate."
Who blows bubbles? Gah! Hidalgo, you are absolutely the cutest kid born into my game!
"You see? Hidalgo is beautiful! What has he been telling you all this time?"

"Hidalgo wonders what it tastes like..."

snapshot_94a26f6c_54d9bdfd.jpg

"Bah! Accursed soap! You make Hidalgo cringe, it is not good for his complexion!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_74d9bfab.jpg

He even dreams about himself...
-snore- Hidalgo is beautiful... -snore-

Calista: "Oh my goodness! Another baby!"
Yes, that does tend to happen when you're a Family Sim...
Creepy Blond Brandon Lilliard Lookalike That I Need To Get Into The Family: "That's a very nice bump."
Creepy! I'm reminded of Ethan from LOST...

"Hmm, who shall I leave my inheritance to..."
You know, Dolores, you really seem to be gaining a reputation as a calculating grandmother.
"Oh, no, I love all of my grandkids. I just have to choose one to love more."

"Hello little eggplants, this beautiful creature plucking you from your vines is Hidalgo!"
Poor Eggplants.

snapshot_94a26f6c_54da8c67.jpg

Hey there Tilda!
"Who you?"
I'm Alex, I'm writing about you and your family.
"Famiwy?"
Yup. You have a brother, and parents and grandparents!

snapshot_94a26f6c_74da8c8c.jpg

See, there's your brother, Hidalgo!
Hidalgo: "So, you are... related? To Hidalgo?"
Tilda: "Hey, that's just what this Alex kid tells me."

Birthday time for Beulah!

Quick Note:
This is when I began to have sneaking suspicions that I was a victim of the firstborn glitch.
I did a quick check and I realized that they should all have the same hair/eye color, because Magnus is pure blond and Calista is pure black, so the black overrides the blond.
But anyways, the faces look very similar. Also, their personalities are all the same.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34da9209.jpg

Erm, Calista? Just a thought, maybe you shouldn't throw your daughter so high that she'll go through the ceiling? Just an idea.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74da94ea.jpg

Benjamin, quit showing off.
-puff, puff- I am in harmony. It reminds me of Abigail... She was so hot when she did yoga...
INAPPROPRIATE! -gag-

snapshot_94a26f6c_94da9551.jpg

"Hidalgo loves school."
Nice job, Dally.
"Hidalgo."
Sorry. This family really hates pet names...

snapshot_94a26f6c_14da9855.jpg

Headmaster: Yes, Mr. Bruty, Your glasses are very impressive, but your pouty lip just cinches it!
Magnus: As a fellow educator, I thought you would appreciate it.
(Oh, did I forget to mention that Magnus is an Education Minister? Yeah, I guess I did.)

snapshot_94a26f6c_74da9878.jpg

Headmaster: "Due to your magnificent house, glasses, and lip, young Hidalgo and Tilda can join our school."
Magnus: Who's Tilda?
Your daughter, Magnus!
Magnus: "Oh yeah. Her!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_14da9ab5.jpg

"Hidalgo loves the sparkles!"
I feel like I'm going to miss child Hidalgo...

snapshot_94a26f6c_34da9ace.jpg

"Hidalgo is beautiful, smart, tall, and now strong! Hidalgo is perfect!"
Mmm, yes. I sort of ignored the fact that child prodigies can choose Knowledge, he seemed more like a Romance. It does say choose.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94da9cdc.jpg

"Hidalgo is punk rocker!"
You look more emo to me. But I suppose it fits; he wants to become a Rock God.

snapshot_94a26f6c_54dac48e.jpg

You're looking a little, erm, pale, frozen gray there, Magnus.
"Well, somebody insists on keeping the garden growing through the winter and somebody always makes me take care of it!"
Suck it up.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34dac58a.jpg

Ooh, maybe I shouldn't send him out for so long. He took about one step and collapsed.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74dab5c1.jpg

Enjoying your twins a-la-cheesecake, Calista?
"Twins? What? Never mind. Yum, cheesecake!"
Yum, cheesecake!

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4dac662.jpg

"And yum, essence of townie!"
Err, that might not be best for the baby(ies)
"Hey, they say you should drink a lot of milk when you're pregnant!"
Yes, but I don't think this is exactly what they... Never mind.

snapshot_94a26f6c_14dacc66.jpg

"OMG I had twins!"
-fake- "Oh yes, it's such a surprise."
Twin boys named Affreux (ah-froo) and Attrister (ah-tree-stair).
A little explanation for the names, they are both French, meaning Awful and Sorrowful respectfully.
I <3 My French Dictionary, it was a wonderful source of names.

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4dad2fd.jpg

One of the ghosts seems to be taunting the cowplant.
I've never seen this animation before!

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4dad2e7.jpg

Time for Hidalgo to go off to college!
"Why does Hidalgo have to leave so soon? There are ladies to be charmed!"
Yes, but we need the space for more kidlets! Sorry, Dally.

snapshot_94a26f6c_14dad2ae.jpg

Wow, look who's driving the van! It's Andrew with a bad comb over!

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4dad285.jpg

"I'm the oldest now! I have a pretty dress! Does this mean I'll finally be noticed?"
Nah, everyone always fawns over twins. I'll pay attention to you Tilda.
Eventually.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74dad43e.jpg

Both of their Aspiration Scores were failing a bit, so what better than a nice date to remedy that!
But in front of Beulah?
-splash-

snapshot_94a26f6c_54dad4a9.jpg

Only Maggie could freeze after Woo-Hooing in the hot tub.
Magnus: Mag! Nus!
Calista, kick him please.
"With pleasure."

snapshot_94a26f6c_54dad6f2.jpg

DOLORES!
"Yes?"
So, this is what you've been doing with the wishing wells?
"Yes."
Why?
"Ok, look. You get to pick the heir, otherwise who gets all the family money. Maybe I want another heir; my own personal one!"
Fine.

snapshot_94a26f6c_54dadbe4.jpg

Another Beulah Birthday! Yes, I think I must have the firstborn glitch.
She looks exactly like Hidalgo and Tilda.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94daddec.jpg

Even more birthdays!
Toddler time for the twins, who I will from now on refer to as Affy and Atty.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94dade18.jpg

Yup, first born glitch. Hidalgo anyone? Just with his great-uncle Ingo's hairstyle?
Oh, this is Affy by the way.

snapshot_94a26f6c_b4dade5a.jpg

Well, now we can tell them apart!
Attrister is the one with the frog lips!
Calista: "Hey! I take offense at that!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4dae29c.jpg

Poor frog-boy. You could fit a brick in that mouth.

snapshot_94a26f6c_34dd9a72.jpg

"Help! I'm about to give birth to a baby you didn't even show bumps for and your freaky perspective style is making my arm really long! Oh, the pain!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_94dd9c39.jpg

Well, apparently nobody puts baby Mafalda in the corner except Calista Bruty.

snapshot_94a26f6c_94dd9c70.jpg

Johnson (Random Townie): "I hate Plant People! Why didn't you cater to my needs and cure him!"
Calista: "Listen. I just gave birth to a baby girl a few minutes ago. Do not mess with me!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4ddb958.jpg

Calista: "Ok, Atty! Say 'I got Mommy's lovely lavish lips!'"

snapshot_94a26f6c_34ddb965.jpg

Attrister: "Fwoggy!"
Calista: "NOOOOOO!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_54ddbb6b.jpg

Affy, are you causing issues?
Affreux: "Mommy won't put me to bed!"
"What, he needs a bottle, obviously!"
Calista, you are a really bad Family Sim.

snapshot_94a26f6c_14ddbda0.jpg

If double birthdays are fun, triple birthdays are even better!
I decided it would be easier to maneuver outside, rather in the kitchen where everyone would spend the entire party milling around trying to find a sufficient space to whistle and cheer.

snapshot_94a26f6c_d4ddbe45.jpg

Aww, Affreux is pretty cute... and a complete clone of Hidalgo.
Affy: "I like this glitch, it made me pretty!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4ddbe54.jpg

Yes, Calista, throw Mafalda up into the air! I'm sure that will motivate her to grow up!
"Darn straight!"

snapshot_94a26f6c_74ddbea6.jpg

As far as I can tell, just another clone. -groan-

snapshot_94a26f6c_94ddbec6.jpg

C'mon, Atty, give us a frog leap!
snapshot_94a26f6c_94ddbed6.jpg

Ha! The cavernous mouth evolves!

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4ddbeeb.jpg

Oh yeah, he broke the glitch. xD

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4ddc213.jpg

Look who showed up! Andrew popped out to complain about how they sold his easel!

snapshot_94a26f6c_f4ddc4f7.jpg

Now, now Andrew, don't take it out on your grandson!
Magnus: "Mommy!"
Ok, maybe he deserved that.

snapshot_94a26f6c_74ddc51b.jpg

"So, Beulah, as you know, I am a very rich woman who has made this family over a quarter of a million dollars."
"Yes, Grandma Dolores. I mean, you have a field of money!"

(Statistic from a wealth counter. She seriously has made about 260,000 simoleans!)

snapshot_94a26f6c_54ddc53e.jpg

"Well, Beulah, I have a sneaking suspicion that you won't be picked to carry on the family name, simply because you are too attractive!"
"Err, thanks?"
"So I'm giving you the key to my money enclosure."
"Wow, thanks Grandma! But you know, my dad's been sneaking over the fence when you were sleeping and taking quarters for the vending machine at work."
Magnus: Honey, I told you not to mention that!!!!"

Ok, I wanted to end this week on a silly note, so, there you have it.

What will Beulah do with Dolores' small fortune?
Will Atty "Froglips" Bruty ever succeed?
Will Hidalgo ever speak properly?
Maybe!

Ok, see everyone next week!

"Due to your magnificent house, glasses, and lip, young Hidalgo and Tilda can join our school." His LIP got them into the school? I love the way you write!

Personally, I loved the long arm, and the conversation between the plant-sim hating townie, and Calista-post-baby!
