2014 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,700 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
Chapter 6
Recap: Quads were born last time. That is all.
It’s a standoff…or is it a lay down? Cola cannot get up because Alex is in the way and Alex will not move even if he has to pee is spot.
The quads were aged up. I could not take it anymore.
Ecru: Has the purple hair and eyes, but she has Candlelight’s skin and is not fairy.
Eggplant: Has eyes, skin and fairy, but has Candlelight’s hair.
Eminence is just completely random. I think he might possibly have Candlelight’s skin.
Emerald: Success! We have our heiress! Hair: Check. Skin: Check. Eyes: Check. Fairy: Check.
Candlelight no longer needs the Fountain of Youth potion, but she still spends time researching alchemy to keep her out of baby making trouble.
Apricot and Amethyst age up to YA. Which I do not have pics yet.
Bavarian Cream ages up to teen and comes home from boarding school.
Apricot tries to singlehandedly take care of the quads.
Cola-Fizz bought an honorary degree. He now has 2/3 degrees. He is off to University with Candlelight and the twins. Bavarian Cream is left to find for himself with the quads.
Apricot spends her time playing pool.
Amethyst decided to lecture on gardening, a subject she has no skill at.
Apricot moves on to table tennis and Candlelight is addicted to the video game machine.
Cola-Fizz was found researching science.
That is about all that we have time for this time. I am not going to be documenting University, so the family will be back when they return (or if something interesting happens during the term).
I am just so glad that the 7th of 9 children was our heiress.
Chapter 5
Last time, the A (Amethyst and Apricot) kids went to boarding school, Cola-Fizz “adopted” Alex the cat, Cinnabar Melt was born and Bavarian Cream aged up and went to boarding school with his older sisters. Cinnabar then aged up and Dandelion Dew was born.
We open up to an adorable Dandelion Dew learning skills.
Cinnabar wastes away playing in the mirror. She has given the family three Social worker warnings for starvation because she never leaves this spot.
Cinnabar: “Feed me!”
Since there is plenty of food in this house, go feed yourself.
I finally gave Candlelight a new everyday outfit. This is also just seconds after the newest chimes were heard.
Dandelion Dew aged up a little while later. Cola-Fizz still has not wished for boarding school for them. It is the weekend, so I scheduled them and they will leave Monday morning anyway.
I have absolutely no need for this photo, but I liked it.
The girls are the first to ride the carousel that I wasted a tad too much money on.
I am really tired of the fairy tricks these two play. They are about to not be best friends anymore.
Candlelight explains where babies come from and the fact that they are getting a new brother or sister.
Cola-Fizz: “I would much rather watch the fishing channel, if you don’t mind.”
Candlelight: “Too bad.”
Amethyst and Apricot returned home teens. It’s a full moon, which sucks on lighting, so no more pics of them.
There we go. Here is Apricot.
And Amethyst.
The girls never got an official makeover, but off they go to boarding school…finally.
Candlelight went into labor and headed off to the hospital. She came out with a basket of babies.
Fertility treatment + kidz tv + kidz music = Quads even though my quad chances are set at 0 in woohooer. Dammit. I always forget that it happens until happens.
I cannot handle anymore. As of now, when babies age up to toddlers, then children will age up to teen…unless they are at boarding school.
Amethyst and Apricot are on the honor roll.
I just noticed this, so I am aging them up and moving them out. They will be up for download on their pages as teens.
Chapter 4
Welcome back! We are on a quest to have purple genes and a fairy. So far, not so good!
Amethyst was just heading off world in her taxi and I watched her leave for boarding school. It did not take me long to realize she ditched her cab and headed home. She was immediately re-enrolled.
Cola was worried for his shoes right about here. I was just happy for the next baby.
Cola hunted down Alex and they spent the day getting up to best friends.
Not a single choice for adopting him, so he got cheated into the house.
This caused a two hour follow of Amethyst as she went to every single cat item and cried over them.
Weirdo.
Got to have the potty face.
Oh! Baby time!
It’s a girl. Our first fairy! Too bad she has random black hair and her mother’s eyes. Welcome to the family, Cinnabar Melt.
They immediately got started on the next one.
Good luck you two. It’s almost fertility treatment time and I am not looking forward to it.
Bavarian Cream aged up to child and was enrolled in boarding school.
Grumpy little shit. All she does is cry.
We eventually get her potty face too.
Which led up to her growing up. As much as Cola hates his kids, this is the first one he did not want to enroll in boarding school. I guess that means Cinnabar Melt gets to hang around with us.
This is literally the most exciting thing going on in the house.
Until now! It’s another girl!
Too bad she is invisible. All I know is the fairy part at this point.
So, bad idea to age up a baby while still being held by mom. As soon as Candlelight picked her up, she appeared. She may not have perfect genetics, but she is the cutest thing yet. Dandelion Dew is adorable. I am in love. She has mom’s skin and eyes. She has Cola’s hair and fairy.
Hopefully, I get more time to play. They did not even start on the next child yet and Cola really needs to get back to University. Candlelight has actually advanced up to level 3 in music.
Chapter 3
I actually was only play for a little while, so have a half-assed update. The lighting mod was replaced.
Last time Candlelight gave birth to twins, Amethyst and Apricot. Neither one had a single genetic match to their father.
Be warned. Lots of toddler spam. I love these girls. Here’s a random pic of the girls reading.
And sleeping! Although I do have a hack that allows the swing to run for eight hours.
Someone forgot to tell Cola that he hates kids. He had actual wishes to potty train both girls and see them both age up well.
Apricot.
Amethyst
I was bummed that I did not have her hair in child size. This was the only one that looked good on her.
They do everything in tandem. Kinda creepy. I had just decorated their room when Cola decided that both girls needed to go to boarding school.
Candlelight randomly told Amethyst to rub the belly. I am hoping for the perfect kid to be in there.
Randomness is my middle name. Have a random photo of Candlelight burning lunch.
I watched Amethyst drag Cola upstairs to pillow fight. One shot and she knocked him out. She laughed, I was in hysterics. He is such a big baby!
The little bookworm was working at the potions table and missed the show.
For the second time, Candlelight bailed at work to go into labor. She will never get a promotion at this point (in my game, she wants to be a Rock Star).
It’s a boy! He is called Bavarian Cream.
Upon returning home we are sad. He has the purple skin and eyes, so we are getting close. He is adorable too.
Next time, the girls will leave for school, toddler training and hopefully another baby.
Chapter 2
Candlelight had spent the better part of the next couple of weeks decorating the house. She had just finished the kitchen and living room when the first pregnancy was made official.
Cola decided not to wait for Candlelight and immediately enrolled back in college.
Candlelight had just missed saying goodbye to her new husband. This did not stop her from waving and blowing kisses for the better part of two hours anyway.
Cola was quite happy to find that his house was still unoccupied. He fixed it up a bit.
A long while later, the rental was done. It was enough to make a person blind.
New Lighting mod, but Cola and I agree that it would only look good in Midnight Hollow. Going back to my old one on the next restart.
I am playing this triple speed until something interesting happens. Tonight, Cola made Hamburgers for an opp.
Cola: “The Meet and Greet is going on now. It sucks. That is all.”
After school party. Cola and I still agree that the red atmosphere is depressing.
Cola kept his loneliness at bay with nightly calls to Candlelight.
Cola: “I think I’ll study science next.”
Candlelight: “Not without me!”
Cola was invited to another party. He got sidetracked by the horsies. Both foals were hungry and so Cola helped them out.
Cola: “Can I…”
No! We need babies, not horsies.
First degree in hand, Cola heads home.
I decorated the formal dining room and the skill room. I even let them have fun stuff like this dartboard.
Candlelight: “Wooo, dartboard! Now let’s go to bed, I’m tired.”
Cola: “One more throw!”
Festival day! You can also follow this on my tumblr, less commentary, more to the point pics. I am not a very good tumblr person, so I will one day (hopefully) be able to set it up so that it does a chrono. Ha! I not only spent a long time (I’m tumblrtarded) setting up a new page and then spent another eon figuring the chrono posting out. You can now find a chronological posting order here. You’ll see some of the same pics, but mostly it’s these two talking.
Candlelight blew the others away. The first drop out left to pee her pants and I swear Cola walked away.
Poor baby.
Cola: “A snow cone? Really?”
Candlelight: “Not another word.”
This cat kept following Cola around, so I gave it a makeover.
Cat: “Pay attention to me!”
So, Cola ditched the game with Candlelight to love all over the cat.
This is what happens when you are nice to strays.
Cat: “Oh, leave to entertain sick children? I don’t think so.” *kills all newspapers on the lot*
Yay, the kids music and tv worked!
They only got to swing for an hour or two.
Color coordinated to their names. On the left is Amethyst Taffy and on the right is Apricot Swirl. If the goal was for Candlelight to have her perfect heiresses, we’d be done. They are identical to mom down to their pointy baby ears.
I have to say these two are adorable. I hope they all are.
The chime for pregnancy #2 was just heard. Stay tuned for the next installment.
Chapter 1
Welcome to my fourth attempt at the PGC. Hoping for better results, I am starting off with a male founder. Said male is Cola-Fizz Tart, spare from my Tart ISBI.
\
The house got started.
The first few days were spent reading all skill books and taking classes.
He got a lot of his skills between levels 3-5 and took the aptitude test for University. He scored 2399/2400.
Cola-Fizz traded his insane trait for dislikes Children and Eco-Friendly for something else. His LTW is to get 3 degrees. His first one will be Communications. He will need to do two terms, but I only have it set for one due to me getting bored.
After deleting all sims at University, I started replacing the new students with sims from the bin.
Cola really hit it off with Candlelight Mountain Mist.
She is super adorable.
After class that day, Cola wrote her a love letter. He hopes she will get over her aversion to his dip kiss attempts. She has refused every single one of them.
He got a letter back stating that she had been waiting her whole life for a letter like that.
Cola was always doing something to occupy his time.
Nothing much else happened that week. Candlelight agreed to be his roommate at one point.
He aced the term with an A. I think he only needs 6 credits for his first degree.
On his last day, Candlelight finally let him dip kiss her. She then agreed to be his girlfriend.
Cola is feeling quite proud of himself. After 15 rejections, he finally got what he wanted.
Thank you Paparazzi man for ruining the photo.
They had their first woohoo right before he went back home.
Cola did not even head home before calling up Candlelight and inviting her over.
Projecting an aura of soothing, Cola proposed right in the front yard.
She said yes and they got married right then and there.
They got started on the baby making in the hopes that only one will be needed.
Instead of rushing back to school, Cola decided to wait and take Candlelight too.
First one is on the way!
2013 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,000 times in 2013. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 3 trips to carry that many people.
Chapter 3
Last time more non-perfect kids were born. Archer got busy with his baby sister’s dad then aged up to YA. More birthdays ensued for the younger girls too.
Ivory: “Where you going?”
Archer: “Off to get a job in the military.”
Ivory: “It’s about time you started paying rent. Carry on”
I was doing something with the kids and only just now panned over here after seeing the notification that Archer slapped Zane. He is standing here waiting to slap him again! He apparently thinks Zane cheated on him. *facepalm*
You do realize that he has been with his girlfriend since you were child, right? Therefore he cheated on HER with you. Not the other way around.
Archer: “Sims logic does not follow a logical pattern. Therefore, I shall slap him silly again and then beat him up.”
Archer: *slap*
Zane: “Ow!”
Ivory: “I am too busy flirting to care about what you are doing.”
Jason: *flirt*
Ruby is not paying any attention to what her older brother and dad are doing. She autonomously decided to fish in the home pond that no one in the house has a high enough level to fish in. Why aren’t you in your winter clothes?
Ruby: “I’m impervious to the cold.”
No dear. You are immune to fire. That is all.
Ruby: “Oh.” *shivers*
Ivory: “What is that thing?”
You seriously fail at the pose. You should really take notes from Ivory.
Archer: “You totally ruined my moment.”
Ivory: “Okay, new smelly household member. I am Grandma. I hate you. Don’t cry and we will be okay.”
Adrian: “Pway toy?”
Yes, you finally got your first toy.
Ivory: “We had a deal kid! No cry and I won’t scream at you.”
Adrian: “FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!”
Archer: *Runs to save his kid and feed him*
Archer: “You are such a bitch, mom.”
Adrian: “No wike gwamma.”
Archer: “No one does.”
Charity: “Hurry up and eat, kid. I want to teach you to walk.”
Ivory: “Last one?”
We can only hope.
Jason: *panics*
We interrupt this labor for Archer’s Graduation. Seriously EA? She was halfway to the hospital.
He was voted Most Like to be a Sports Star – which will never happen since he wants to be an astronaut.
Ivory: “I am home. May I continue?”
Be my guest.
Boy
Girl
Boy
Boy
Ivory: “I am going to hunt you down and kill you for this.”
*dies*
Not sure why Brie is napping in the road in the snow…but let’s wake her up so she doesn’t turn to a Briecicle.
Why haven’t you gone home to see your babies?
Jason: *fights with the Ainsley lady* “Babies? Plural?”
About as plural as Twallan’s mod can get.
Jason: “Let me just finish up with this bitch first.” *intimidates*
Have you been taking lessons from Ivory?
Jason: “Yes! Did I do good?”
Almost. She didn’t pee herself or pass out. Maybe next time.
Ember – Not heir.
Echo? Edge? *shrug* Not heir either. He had green/brown EA nasty ass hair, so I just gave him regular brown.
Baby races.
Jason: “Let’s get you potty trained so that you and your daddy can move out.”
Route failure. 5 people for one set of stairs = Ivory’s first bladder failure.
Ivory: “I either get to kill them all and have the house to myself again or you are going to find me a new house.”
*Starts looking for a new house*
Archer and Adrian moved into this half rendered home.
Echo? Edge? *shrug* Jason’s clone.
Aha. I was starting to wonder if I didn’t get his picture. Eclipse. Our 8th born and HEIR! Yay!
*From three flights away* Ivory: “HALLELUJAH!”
Ivory: “Let’s get these brats skilled up!”
Luckily they only need to potty. The pegs and xylo don’t actually require supervision.
Switches kids.
I swear, if you are knocked up, I will hurt you.
Ivory: “Oh hell no. Can’t a girl have shower woohoo without an audience?”
You just did. Don’t let it happen again.
Charity: “So Tatiana, you got any teen boys at home?”
Tatiana Salas: “I don’t think there are teen anything in this world.”
True story.
Still skilling.
Brie has her first abduction.
Last one to skill.
Charity: “I can’t handle them all alone!”
You’re the only one awake!
Ivory came down as the everyone else ran off to work and school.
It took from 7-11 am to get all four into their cribs since skilling is on the floor above and the spiral stairs take forever to go up and down.
Brie came home from school and was forced to fix the sink.
Jason: “If I die again, I will kill you.”
Ruby ages up (A and it’s prom night).
She is so pretty. I wish she was a vamp.
Ivory: “Do you hear screaming?”
Jason: “I hear nothing but the sound of your sweet voice.”
Ivory: *swoon*
Two or three toddlers: “FEEEEED USSSSSS!”
Jason: “I’m really hungry. See ya,”
Ivory: “Ugh. Why won’t they shut the hell up?”
Ivory: “I am going to kill you!”
Brown haired quad: “FOOD!”
Ember: “FEED ME!”
Ivory: “SHUT UP!”
Eclipse: “FEED ME!”
Jason Clone: “ME EAT!”
Ivory: *leaves*
Luckily Jason was annoyed enough to come back down and grab the other two.
Prom is over, nothing good happened. Brie ages up. I caught her before my mod kicked in.
There she is without that ugly vamp glow. She moves out.
Quads: *wahhhhh* “SLEEEPY!”
Triggers birthdays. I can’t take anymore.
Jason was on a mission to fix the computer so he can work at home.
Jason: “Gotta go to work!”
It’s morning? Already?
Jason: “Yep. See ya.”
Ivory: “It’s the first damned day of school, boy child! How dare you skip school!”
Brown-haired one: “It wasn’t on purpose, dumbass. I refuse to go to school wearing girl gloves!”
Ivory: “WHAT did you call ME?”
BH Quad: “Oh great Goddess of the Universe?”
Ivory: “Just get to school, moron.”
Ruby has an audience of one for her ghost story.
Eclipse.
The house is getting pretty hard to deal with. It only has one level above ground and three basement levels. With 8 sims in the house, it literally takes all day if they all want to go to bed at the same time. Charity is probably going to be a teen forever. She rarely gets to school on time and has a solid D in school. Ruby has lost her A and is riding on a B for now. Jason got his LTW of CEO and Ivory now has the free time to finish up hers. She still has to bite 10 sims.
Next time, the quads’ names will be sorted out. I only know that Eclipse is the heir and Ember is the girl. They also need makeovers. Short chapter next time (I hope) to finish out Ivory’s LTW and then start Gen. 2.
Tart Genes
