Uglacy Week 9

Last Week: Magnus, the first of the 4th Generation was born. He became an annoyingly cute toddler.
Benjamin went elder and retired, and Abigail and Andrew died.

A Few Notes: First, I built them a new house. As with the other one, I'm not going to bother giving pictures, you'll see it anyways.

Also, a comment on last week's blog from Kerry asked how I got graves to be indoors. A little trick I discovered allows this, you just have to delete one section of wall, move the graves away and back again.





I think this picture gives a nice view of the new house, I don't think there's really anything interesting!



You certainly have the face of a bowler, don't you Maggie?
"Stop calling me that! I'm trying to concentrate."



Oh, and you're afraid of me embarrassing you? Puh-lease!



"Hugugugugugu!" -twitch-
Having a little trouble with the SentryBot there, Benjy?
"You could say that."



Hey there, Hidalgo!
"Dally like bunny. Lex go way now."
Well fine, then. -sticks out tongue-
"You immachewa!"



Well, Calista's preggo again! I had her work on this pottery station for a while.
No, it's not one that came with Free Time.
Nooo, we can't release a Mac version of the game the day it comes out!
"Quit complaining. I have a several pound baby inside of me."
Deal with it, you're a Family Sim! Moar bebbes!



Here we have an... interesting picture from Dolores' birthday party. We invited all the Bruty relatives.
Ingo: "Whoa, sis, you;re gonna be, like, old! I now have an urge to act like a zombie!"
Dolores: "And I want to act like a fish!" -bubbles-
God I love this family!




Dolores, you look very happy! Though those clothes are hideous.
"Hey, I didn't pick them. Ingo bought them for me."
Yes, your mother had that same problem. He doesn't exactly have the best taste.



The traditional (Well, at least for me) Make-Out session to bring the party score up!
(Note Dolores' very nice custom dress!)



Err, well here is child number two being born.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have involving little Tilda. (Awful name, sounds like a witch!)
Well, she starts showing up occasionally once toddlerhood begins!



Well, there really haven't been many badges lately, so I think Magnus deserves some attention.
-claps for Maggie-
"Don't think I didn't notice that!"
Notice what?
"That was a 'Maggie' clap, instead of a 'Magnus' clap!"
Fine... -Magnus Clap-



I find this picture fun, not just because it is the first appearance of Andrew's ghost, but also for the fact that, upon further inspection, Calista is writing about how much she dislikes Andrew. xD



Andrew now seems to be taking it out on poor Dolores.



"I seem to have fallen."
Yes, but I think it might be due to the fact that your "skates" are blades attached to high heels.



Well, I suppsoe it's better than Calista, who is not only wearing a bathing suit, but seemed to have just impaled the blades into her foot.
"Ouch! It hurts so bad, but I'm having fuuun!"



Well, that was quick!



Dolores: "Benjamin, I had a thought. I was thinking we could use all our Wishing Wells in a way to defy Alex."
Say what, girly girl?



Dolores: "I mean, he decides who gets to be heir and stuff, but what if I like one of our grandkids better?
I can use some of my money wishes to leave a better inheritance to one of them!"
Benjamin: "That's great dear, now can I go take a shower? I'm parched!"
Wow, my Sims are rebelling against me...



Having a little trouble there, eh Hidalgo?
"Block no fit! Dally Angry! I too good for this!"



"Blocky bend to wishes of Dally, me cute!"
Thaaaaat's healthy!



Time to grow up!
Isn't his everyday outfit adorable?
-whomps-



"Hidalgo is beautiful."
Why 3rd person?
"Hidalgo is too beautiful for grammar."
I'm sensing some issues here.



You burnt your muffin?
"No, Hidalgo is so beautiful, oven got flustered and overcooked it!"
...



Hmm, I think Hidalgo may be a good candidate for the "Child Prodigy" bonus.
Just as a recap, this sim must:
Have grown up platinum from toddlerhood to childhood √
Have learned all three toddler skills √
Maximize all skills before they turn teenager.
Have an A+ in school when they become a teenager.
Have “learned to do homework” by the time they turn teenager.
Be attending a private school by the time they turn teenager
Have a 10 interest in “School” by the time they turn teenager
Be platinum when they grow up from child to teenager.

So, Hidalgo is now skilling incessantly, and working on school.



"I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna!" -tantrum-
Dolores! You! Have! To! Retire!
"Nooo!"
Accursed Fortune Sims.



There will be a lot of these pictures, I just like them to help keep track of how many skills have been maxed.



Here's Hidalgo's sister, Tilda. Unfortunately she is somewhat of a forgotten child.
I guess she's just shy, she never really interacts with her family and just plays the xylophone all day.



With a new venue at the Bruty Manor, I bought Benjy a makeover chair.
His first customer was a very silly-looking Percy.
Fortunately, the makeover turned out ok.



Armando Cox's, not so much. Serves him right for leaving that bag of poo for Abigail.
Armando: "That was over 30 years ago!"
Don't think no one remembers that.



And yet, he's happy with this?



3 Skills maxed!



-bump-



Well, that's... unfortunate. Not that she wasn't already "unfortunate" to begin with.
-Makes note to bring Marisa Bendett into the family at some point-



And we end with... BABY!
A lovely (hopefully not) little girl named Beulah.
Fun name, eh?

That's all for this week, expect more antics next time, as always!
