I loaded up the game for a little bit, but was unable to play for very long due to the wind here causing power problems.

If you remember, there was a crash at the end of the last update.

Well, Uliana was back to being a toddler.  So, I did a quick skill check and she was all skilled up and I immediately aged her up.

In the neverending quest to earn money, when Iris wished to make a Time Machine, I had her do it to sell.

Sabrina and Robbie are home.  They are getting ready to have their birthday, but help first by upgrading the sprinklers.

This was actually posted here during gameplay.

Boobs Sabrina is almost an exact replica of Iris, but with Spike’s hair.

Robbie surprised me.  He is so cute.

Splash and Max had moreee puppies.   Both are male, so I kept the little one closest to us.

Apparently she was pregnant in the last update.  I do recall that I gave her fertility treatment after Uliana was born.  Please, please give us an heir this time.

Iris gives us Victor and Virgil.

I seriously was bouncing in my seat.  I didn’t peek though.  This is Victor.

OMG!  Virgil is the purplest cutie ever.  I still see a bit of Grandpa Alfie around the eyes, but I have no clue where the purple hair and eyebrows comes from.  I lubs him!

Are we ready to sneak a look at Victor?  Cross your fingers boys and girls. I’m tired of babies.

And we got it.  Green hair, check.  Purple eyes, check.  Woot!

Iris was ecstatic over having an heir now.  She immediately sat down to play with him and completely ignored little Virgil.

Please bare with me.  I am hunting down lag, plus I haven’t opened up the Iris save files in two weeks.  I have some pics left over from last update and I can’t quite remember what was going on.

Our two heir potentials were born last update.  Timmy and Tommy if I remember correctly.

Sabrina is (still?) skilling on the blocks.

I know this little guy has a name, I just can’t remember it for the life of me.  I will insert it here when the game finally loads.  Apparently, he does not like clowns.

Timmy and Tommy are both ready to become toddlers…so am I for that matter.

One of you, please, please have perf. genes.

Well, I guess this is a no, plus he’s sorta creepy looking.

Another no D:  11 kids so far.

I guess they’re sorta cute even if they are not heirs.

Time for skilling.  Quincy really enjoyed helping out and Robbie was never far away either.

Iris was found working out.  She informed me that there would not be any more babies until the T’s hit childhood.

Splash and the unnamed male, had their first litter.

This ends the pics from March 25th.

April 9th ~~

Opened the game up a little while ago and these two were doing their last little bit on the xylophone.  As soon as they are done, they will have birthday time.  Also of note, was serious lag.

I swear he has a name, I just have no clue what it is.  I keep forgetting to look.  His social was in the dumps and it took Quincy two hours to walk from the front door to his bed to brush him.

Splash:  I can haz more babies??

Quincy:  How was your Friday night?  Oh it was great.  I fixed the dishwasher while standing in a puddle of water.

Don’t die.

I quickly directed Spike to mop up around him.

It was a Friday night.  Nothing good was coming from the lag….so I decided that instead of everyone except Sabrina having a birthday, I would throw hers in too.  It was three days early though.

It took 12 hours.  Literally.  There will be no CAS  pics for now.  I have to hunt down the lag..but first..

I went shopping…and I mean major shopping.  To the tune of about 50k spent.  The backyard is a war zone of fun stuff.  I will have to build on to the back of the house to clean up the yard a ton.

As you can see, the first thing on the agenda is get a lullaby out of the photobooth.  It took four tries, but I won.

Yep, my new favorite toy is the photobooth.

This is where the lag finally drove me nuts.  It took 20 minutes to save.  So, I shut it down, and went through my Mods.  Looks like I had two male default skins.  I hope that is the conflict slowing these guys down.

I quickly went straight to CAS.  Quincy got a big makeover and was put on the exchange.  He isn’t ugly or attractive, kinda mid-way between the two.

Robbie, got hair and that’s it.  He looks like a snob.

Sabrina isn’t so bad, but that forehead is big.

Timmy and Tommy are identical in the face department.

Poor guy is so unhappy with me.  Spike adopted him previously.  Meet Max Spunk.

Okay now that this part is done. I guess I better have Quincy move out and check the lag problem. Well, it’s still a bit laggy, but not bad enough to tick me off.

Robbie, Sabrina, Timmy and Tommy were all put in Boarding school in an attempt to lessen the lag.

LOL We got this before she realized she was preggo.  I’ve never seen it before, so it must have came with Showtime.

Karma bit Spike in the behind.  I then sent everyone off to bed.

Spike: I foresee a little person playing with blocks in our future.

This is confirmed the next day.

With no kids in the house, the bored adults train the dogs to hunt.

Iris takes over the garden and the sprinkler upgrades.

Spike chose to upgrade the shower.

Spike and Iris: *flirt flirt*  Shared I wubss you’s.
Max:  I brought the paper.  Give me wubbss too!
Splash:  Attention, attention puppy incoming!

Baby Danny is born.  Since he is a single pup, we will keep him.

I know for a fact that I have done this before, but I just realized that it must have died in a fiery crash.  Redo!


They are officially engaged again.  No wedding for a bit.  I want to try a real wedding party.  It will be my first.  I am hoping that all the kids show up.

Both Iris and Spike had service awards to collect, but they took separate vehicles.  Poor Iris went into labor on the side of the road.

Luckily the hospital is right there.

I hope this one has perfect genes.  Baby #12 is Uliana.  (think Juliana without the J)

I get the feeling that Iris is tired of popping out babies.  I don’t blame her.

Gotta have the cute baby in the swing pic.

It’s the moment of truth!  Oh please please be the heir.

Spike: *puff* If you’ve *puff* seen one birthday *puff* you’ve seen them all *puff*

Omg.  No!  No! No! And note that she is so ugly on top of that.

I have officially had it.  They were both given fertility treatment.

Yep….I’m still amused.

Spike did all of the skilling this time around.

The gnomes watched Iris work in the garden.

Then the next day they took turns playing with her.

Max went on to become an elder.

Not much of a difference if you ask me.  Splash is pregnant again.

Roxy was adopted for Danny.

Eventually it was time for Uliana to get to childhood, do the blocks skill and run off to boarding school.

He followed her around the house for a bit and when she finally stopped, he gave her a massage.  I ❤ Spike.  Such a sweetie.

Uliana seemed to get uglier.

Those money trees that one of the daughters put in finally became harvestable.  They made $15k on them.  They were also able to pick up 10 Money tree seeds and plant them.

Then Crash.  I have no clue how far back I have to go.  I had saved within the hour previously, so hopefully not too much was lost.  So we will end it here.  Let’s hope the bun(s?) in the oven produce an heir/ess.

Well, I went to play just now and loaded the wrong save.  I was sitting there so confused.  Anyway, got out of that save and into the correct one.

I had Michelle and Penny reading skill books, so that means that Opal and Nola were forced to learn the athletic skill.

I am determined to spend time with the kids this time around.  I am not sure if that’s good or bad.  With the way the saves are acting up, they might disappear on me at any time.

With only one bookcase, this is why only two read at once.

Nola snuck off to play with Puppy 3.

Everyone is doing something fun.

Too soon, they all switched spots.

Spike:  I have a really fun idea!
Iris: *waits*

Spike: Wasn’t that fun?
Iris:  *giggles*

Wasn’t expecting this, but yay!

Little Splash was born to Glider and Captain.

Captain then aged up to elder.

I believe this is from Quincy coming home from Boarding School.  Another teen in the house.

Big age gap between these two.  Here is our new and improved Robbie.  We are hoping that the color coded jammies spill over into the genetic pool.

They didn’t, but he is too cute for us to be disappointed.

Mom immediately starts getting the necessary skills out of the way.

I finally found something that lazy Nola likes to do.

Captain: *bark bark bark woof?”  (translated- What you doin humans?)
Jenn and Captain hear *lullaby*

Captain:  Woof woof woof BARK!? (There’s no more room for humans…need more dogs, yes?)

Captain: Bark! (Told you so)

This time around everyone ages up when they are supposed to.  No early cakes.  First up is Michelle.  She will stay here until her sisters are YA too.

We’ll throw in a dash of Robbie since we aren’t used to single birthdays.

Michelle hits YA with Eccentric, Friendly, Good, Loves the Outdoors and adventurous.  When she moves out with her sisters, she quickly gets engaged to a girl name Maritza.  A few years later, they got married.  I knew from prom days that she went both ways.  So, I was not surprised.

Little Robbie is cute.  He is off to play with blocks.

She never popped, or I didn’t see it.  Was kinda surprised when she waddled by.

Several kids had to deal with traffic the night they had to learn to drive.

Iris:  OWWWIEEEE!!!
You’d think after almost a baseball team was shot from that uterus, that she’d be oblivious to the pain by now.

Opal and Robbie: (synchronized) OMG!  Medic!!

Opal:  Man, that looks tiring.  Hope she doesn’t get fatigued after this.
Robbie:  I’m so glad I’m not a girl.

Please, please, please let this Sabrina have perfect genetics.

Three birthdays coming right up!

Scratch that.  Let’s make it an even number!

Yippee!  Woohoo!

Robbie:  I can’t party while there’s a broken appliance in this house!

I totally LOL’d my ass off.  I recall saying she would get her LTW before she moved and she got it during her cake time.  All of her plants popped right then and she got the perfect garden.

Without a makeover, I have no clue who it is.  The poke your eye out boobs make me think  it’s Nola.

I let them all stay for a bit and have cake.

Sabrina failed, but again, too cute to be disappointed in.

Opal: Brave, Snob, Clumsy, Family Oriented and Athletic.
Nola:  Charismatic, Neat, Family Oriented, Genius and Brave.
Penny: Klepto, Perceptive, Genius, Brave and Daredevil.

All four have been saved and will be heading to the exchange later today (3-25).  These three are still single in my game.

The Family went broke, but they bought the four girls an 8 sleeper house, originally a nursery house for the Queen Bee Drones and kids, but I refuse to build, so everyone has these in their towns now.

A few days later, it was time for Sabrina to grow up a bit more.

With an almost empty house, these guys decided that we need a “T” child.   Here’s hoping for a girl.  Tiffany is what we have picked out.

Glider and Captain are still spry enough to pop out more puppies.  Puppy 3 and Viola went with the girls.

Puppies!

Baby!

I finally got around to doing Sabrina’s makeover.

You can see that not only does she have to listen to kids music, I have her glued to the kidz zone too.

We got some family time going on..well they’re all in the same area anyway.

Iris: Dum de dum.  Off to mail gems because we are poor.

Iris: *stares at mailbox*

I knew you could get deliveries from the mail, but for it to force a delivery when it’s empty?  Just mean, mailbox. Just mean.

Meet Timmy and Tommy.  I got gypped out of a Tiffany.  Timmy is the little blue btw.

Hey look at that we caught up to where I opened the game today.  Since they are brand new and I haven’t played yet, we leave off here.  Will one of these cuties be our next heir?  Will Iris and Spike be running for the bed?  There’s room!  We could do some time machine fun!

Stay tuned to our next update.

I am going to spare you yet another replay.  It all happens the same way…almost.

We are in dire need of money.  Iris and Spike write books together now.  We are up to about $40k a week in royalties between the two.

Currently, I have quit having Iris and Spike work on genes in order to keep room for the future kids to show up.  This is our new, first future child.

I wonder if she had green hair in her future life?  I hate that she went to YA with her old lady gray hair.  This is Melissa Wahl.

Soon after, this dapper gentleman came through.

Future child #2 is Morgan Wahl.

Iris spent time with both “children” to get to know them and other motherly things.

I went and built a 10×10 house with just the basic necessities.  I then placed a bunch of them around town.

Quincy is now ready for childhood…again.

Michelle was at boarding school.  I chose to let her come home instead of staying in.   Quincy was signed up to go.  We even had another visit from Bianca.

Quincy’s hairdo pic.

I bought Melissa and then Morgan their own 10×10 house, since that’s all I could afford.  They each made it to their respective houses and got jobs.  Melissa has a boyfriend (I did a rapid immigration this time).  Morgan and Melissa might have known each other in the future or something, they hang out together a lot.

We did manage to re-get Viola, but she didn’t get a cool makeover yet.  Puppy 3 (still no named ghost dog) and Viola are expecting.

We picked up another female for Glider. Her name is Captain. Not big on that as a girl name, but whatever. They have one puppy so far.  This one is a no name little boy.

Closer inspection reveals a heart on the left and a flower on his side.  Pretty darn cute.

Iris is back down to needing one level for her painting and one level for writing in order to get her LTW.  I got bored and I have been reading a blog with a stylist who gives whacky makeovers.  Looked like a heck of a good time.  We forced Iris to become one.  She made her boss over as a Decepticon.  She was not happy, which is okay.  Her and Iris had a huge fight over 3 trait incompatibilities.  They hate each other.

With the addition of the two future children and Michelle aging up, Spike will complete his LTW as soon as the other girls hit teen.

Oh can you guess?  No more babies for now.  I want to focus on the girls for a bit.  I had read that if you use the Time Machine for a “Try For Baby” that the future/past children would show up within a few hours.  Apparently, that is untrue.  It took a week for both future kids to show up.  Iris and Spike are not allowed near it anymore.

Not only did Nola, Opal and Penny turn teen, they got home in time for prom.

Michelle – at home reading, going to school and working on skills.  She is level 3 in inventing, level 2 in charisma, level 8 in cooking, level 3 in gardening, level 7 in handiness, level 6 in logic, level 4 in mixology, level 4 in writing, level 3 in martial arts and level 5 in photography….only from classes and book reading.  She is home schooled so that we can do all this.   Her LTW is to be a Celebrated 5-star chef.  She is good, eccentric, friendly and loves the outdoors.  I am going to pick her last trait at YA and give her Natural Cook.

Nola – has made it on the honor roll.  She has not picked a LTW.  She has not been home (as with the other two girls) to have read many books.  She is level 7 in writing and the rest are what she earned as a toddler with books.  She is a Party animal who is neat, brave and afraid of water….wouldn’t that cancel out the brave part?

Opal – is on the honor roll and wants to have the Perfect Garden.  I am hoping to have that done before she hits YA.  Her gardening skill is currently at level 4.  She is a Clumsy snob who is brave and athletic.  Her best skill is logic and it’s at level 5.

Penny – Enrolled in Military high school since she wants to be an Astronaut.  Her handiness skill is level 7, writing skill is mastered and logic is level 9.  I think she’s been sneaking books as this was all news to me.  Not sure about the writing skill…I might have done that to her during childhood.  She is a Brave, Perceptive, genius who likes to steal stuff.

The reason for the formal makeovers was for prom.  Penny is the only one that came back with a romantic interest.  The universal NPC babysitter, Davey Linell.  I swear the goober follows me around to each world.

I even gave Iris and Spike makeovers too.  We will see them next time.  This was basically a catch up update to how I replayed through the future kids.  I quit doing the Time Machine when Quincy was a toddler, which might explain only getting two future kids instead of three.  I’m not rushing the kids off for once, as I can just use YA potions when needed.  There are 7 people in the house and 5 dogs, one of whom is pregnant with a litter that could end up being 1-4 puppies.  I also did not take any pics of the replay.  I felt that you can pretty much look at the last two chapters to see how it might have gone.  I just don’t have a Robbie, Seth or Sabrina.  I am hoping they will be born in the future though….no not time machine future.

Due to writer stupidity and a situation of not saving, we had to replay almost a full update.  Let’s just do a highlight reel up to the “L” kids’ birthdays.

The pic for re-skilling.  While Iris runs by half naked.

Alfie was forced to have a public birthday with the girls.

It took several tries to get Iris to the cake with Opal.  Penny is derping for the audience.

Don’t quote me, but I believe Nola is on the left and Opal is on the right.

Can’t mistake our Pretty Penny.  I didn’t explain her very well in the previous chapter.  We landed in Sunset Valley and she had appeared also.  The pop up to name a new baby came up.  Iris wasn’t pregnant.  I  think it might have been a stuck pregnancy, but I have no clue.

Time Machine was finished and utilized…extensively.

Skilling before boarding school.

Now we get to Leo, Lily and Lucy’s birthday.

A quickie to up the fun levels that are dropping.

Baby….she popped into a Luigi shirt??  Ugh

We quickly changed that then chained her to the easel.

I was so not expecting this to happen.  Alfie walked out of work and the camera zoomed to him.  He was maybe 85 yrs old.  I had him jogging everwhere for the last skill goal thingy…jog however many meters to extend your life or whatever it was.  He still had almost 200 to go.

I shift clicked these two here so that Alfie wouldn’t be alone.   Grimmy was at the park stuck for three hours.  I had to reset him.

Than he pulled a Tart Family and showed up invisible and in graduation clothes.  Stupid glitches.  Oh and Iris went into labor.

Her and Spike grabbed Alfie’s gravemarker then walked down the street to the hospital.  Here is little Quincy.  The first boy of this generation and hopefully our perfect genetics heir.

Iris is in dire need of a new haircut.  Quincy is going to age up and be our hero.

Or not…lol. Cute little guy and he got daddy’s hair.

More time machine fun.  Yes, Spike, more babies.

Daddy does the skilling and I had Iris out collecting stuff for money.  She found the very first woohooium I have ever seen too.

Didn’t think it would happen, but cue our Young Again Potions.

So cute.  Finally got skilled and off to have cake.

He was quickly enrolled in boarding school.

She did make it to the shower, and to kill two birds with one stone..I directed Spike to jump in and nail her.

Baby!

If you wondered how she takes it when they leave for school, she bawls.  Like a girl.

I sent Iris out to try fishing.  You can see that Grandpa Victor is out and following her around.  He then just stands and stares at her.  It’s really creepy.

She went into labor and delivered right in the living room.  Meet little Robbie.

I have not reinstalled the swings yet, so an immediate cake was ordered.

Daddy’s eyes and the random brown hair that has shown up since the first generation.

Totally forgot to show you the Husky we picked out and adopted for Glider.  Here is the very first puppy.

Jade came out for a visit.  She ate cake, had a VR adventure and then cleaned the house.

The last of the skilling.

I couldn’t believe what they had queued up next.

Poor Robbie hadn’t even gotten to the sparklies before Iris and Spike ran for the TM.  He didn’t get a makeover pic either.  Poor kid.

Spike was out early one morning mailing off all of the gems and metals for Iris.  I decided it was time to put his hair back on and then decided to make him over.  I am hoping that the green and purple shirt will channel perfect genetics through sperm donation.

Iris alternates between book writing, painting and inventing.

Then I thought, let’s have a garden too.

Oh and let’s have more babies.  We blasted kids stuff in every room.

Viola is seen here napping with Bianca.

Spike has been working out constantly.  Here he just hit level 10 in athletics.

Meanwhile, back at the inventing table…

We get Seth

We get swings and we get a little Sabrina.

We got 5 teens and a Spike gets a lot of lifetime points.

More cake.

Seth got Dad’s eyes and Mom’s hair.

Sabrina is officially the generation 4 heir.   Now Spike and Iris can kick back and just work and max skills as this is the last child.

Viola looks like she’s having a bad rendering day.

but did give us two adorable little puppies.  I sure hope I saved them.

Almost identical.  I think one was a bit bigger than the other.  One was a female the other male.

I was highly amused to see that her shadow on the wall is bald.

After 8 kids all at the romantic interest stage, I finally made sure that they got what they wanted.  I wanted a drama free generation, I got it.  I didn’t get a drama free save file, but oh well.

Dad and puppy watching tv together was too cute to pass up.  Canine gnome seems to be watching it incorrectly.

The girls made it to teen and only have a couple of days left, so here they are.

They sure turned out nice looking.

Everyone had an IF come to life, just for population in town purposes.

I have no clue who’s who, but there was a Lucky, Pat and Patches.

Here we have a Michelle (her actual birthday), Nola, Opal, Penny and Quincy..Quincy still was closer to childhood than YA, but I had the heir and they needed to go.

I sent them on their way and took a dog or three with them.  Everyone was accounted for except for Michelle and Quincy.  They were completely gone.  They were not dead, they were not listed as homeless and they were no longer on the family tree.

I hadn’t realized that the future/past kids won’t show up with an overstuffed house.  Cue our first future child.  I think his name started with an M.  I started to wonder if future kids could make past kids disappear, but I kept going in the hopes of finding Michelle and Quincy.

Except for Spike’s skin tone, he looks more like an Alfie clone.

One YA potion later…o.O  WOWZA!

Master painting and Writing skills..check!

TM spat our future child #2.

..and number three.

I sent these three out into the world.  Only the third one survived.  The first two disappeared the same way Michelle and Quincy did.  I didn’t save.  I just exited the game.  I was so mad.  The next day I loaded up the game and saw only three save files.  I was like, “Where’s number 4?”   It was a few spaces away and had hidden away like it knew I would need it.  I was seriously glad to see it even though it meant losing a whole half a generation….Quincy was a toddler still.  I saw that save and looked at it and decided to replay it differently.

My drama free generation failed, but at least the family wasn’t affected by it.  Stay tuned for a real update sometime in the future.

So, their town became lag central and I moved them to Sunset Valley.  Unfortunately, I’m an old sap and I didn’t leave any of her family behind.  The soap opera that her siblings, aunts and uncles bring to us are too amusing to kill.

That being said, let’s get started.

Old House

Iris and Michelle are attached at the hip.  Only when Iris and Spike aren’t “attached” at the hipss.  Oh, and because of lag, I’ll let you in on a little secret….that’s maternity wear.

Little Nola is here to add herself to the challenge of perfect genetics.

Michelle:  Daddy, I fawt mommy teach me to wok?
Spike:  Mommy, had to go squeeze a car through a small opening.  She’ll be back shortly.

Michelle:  Wubs you, daddy!
Spike:  Wubs Love you too!  You’re still going to have to learn to talk though.

Spike:  Criminal.  Say Daddy catches criminals and puts them in dark places for the rest of their lives.
Michelle: Cwiminawl.
Spike:  Ugh!  CRiminAl.
Michelle: CWiminaWl.  I did good?
Spike: *sigh*  Perfect.

Later that same day…..

It’s time for cake.  Totally weird only having one birthday.

Nola might be the cutest thing to be born since Michelle, but no perfect genetics.

The “overworked” couple are going at it on every available surface in the vain hope that one of those spots channels perfect genes.

While grandpa Alfie starts the skilling, Michelle has finally finished.

*dies from the cute*

Welcome to childhood, pretty girl.

You are too cute to derp…stop that!

Spike:  Hunny, it’s time!  Hurry your ass up!
Iris:  I’m hurrying, chill out.

Iris:  Spike!?!?  I can’t join you!  It won’t render!

The “L” girls.
Lily:  Hurry and finish up.  I swear if I have to listen to those two go at it one more time, I’ll scream.
Lucy:  You’re just jealous because there are no penis’ in town to service you.
Lily:  So true.  My inner whore is shriveling up in horror from the lack of male specimens.

Iris was in hiding with Spike under the covers most of this portion.  Here is little Opal.  Our third attempt at perfect genes.

Here is where they moved.  I sent them to a populated Sunset Valley..for like a day.  At that move, I took the family and left people in town.  There was a hideous explosion of lag.

Cue move two.

We start off with me having to build the town up from nothing.  Sunset Valley 2 doesn’t even have rabbitholes.  After placing them, I added some houses I made for the Queen Bee Challenge and then built them a new house until I ran out of money.

Oh and there was a surprise bonus between the old house and Sunset Valley somehow.  Since they basically immediately moved (with NO family this time) let’s check out that new object.

Little Opal and co. made the move like champs.  Although, Spike  looks a bit shell-shocked.

So does everyone else for that manner.  Please note that I deleted my downloads folder on accident.  I’m trying to fix the hair issues.

Lucy:  There’s a little blue person here!  What do I do?!  Who does it belong too!
Leo:  Get out of the way, stupid.  You put little blue cocoons in a crib and stand around and wait for it to poop and get hungry.

Michelle:  Daddy is a butt.  He called ahead and they delivered my homework the second we rendered in our spots. *pout*

I have a mod.  I like this mod…most of the time.  I don’t like it when there are 3 adults and 3 teens…with only 1 toddler.

Yes, little Nola was HOUNDED by the teens and adults.  No sooner had one started teaching her to walk, the next had canceled that out to teach her to talk…this went on until I finally couldn’t take it anymore.  I directed Nola to go in and play with pegs.

A/N: What mod is that you ask?  It makes skilling fun for teens and adults.  As in, the bar goes from no fun to fun in three seconds.  They fight over the skilling.  Not potty training though.  I also have a mod that max motives for toddlers on the pegs, and one that does the same for toddler and children on the blocks.  Cheating?  You bet your ass.    Oh the adults you ask?  What skilling is fun doesn’t count?  Okay, how about a cup of java that makes you not have to potty and maxes the motives.  I am only allowing myself to use the mods here, the 100 babies and the Queen Bee.

When all else fails, make more toddlers.  I still have no clue where the blue baby came from.  I had the option to name it when they landed in Sunset Valley.  I can only assume that Iris was pregnant in Santa Teresa and then the baby glitched when they arrived.  Her name is Penny.  She is exactly the same age as Opal and no, they are not twins.  Iris and Spike are her parents and they both adore all three kids equally.

I lost Spike’s hair btw.  I did find it and install it but not until way after this was taken.

Michelle:  Who you?
Opal:  I’m new around here.  Nice to meetcha.
Michelle:  How’d you escape a new hairdo?  You’re not loved until you get pretty hair.
Opal:  MOMMY!!!  Want hair!!!

Iris being the inventor that she is ran off to read books.  She swears there is a procedure to take the purple eyes of one toddler and enmesh them with another toddler how has green hair.

I quickly directed her to her inventing table, made her buy scrap and then forced her to make the time machine that didn’t make the trip.

Alfie is going senile.   He goes around trying to mastermind plots with everyone.  The friendship levels he has with his kids and grandkids are plummeting.  Michelle is trying to save this by getting to know grandpa and letting me know that her room is not in her favorite color.

Nola:  Just look like your having fun no matter what.  They leave you alone for longer periods of time that way.
Opal: *takes notes*

I had them get a little potty training in even though Lucy needs to get to school and Spike needs to round up bad guys in a town that only his household populates.

Penny:  Is this really necessary?  I really want to be back at the pegs.
Lucy:  I don’t understand baby talk.  I will definitely be working on those skills after school.

Opal:  Daddy go to work!  I want pegs!
Spike:  I don’t understand baby talk, but I have to get to work so we will work on those skills later.

Alfie, not wanting a big fuss, waited until everyone left before sneaking cake.

He definitely did not age well.

Unemployed Iris is forced to write Trashy novels.  She literally gained a star for the three she was forced to write.

Nola is ready for cake.  Somehow she was able to get skilled even though they all kept interrupting the person actually doing the job.

So pretty.  I broke my self-declared no clothes changing rule, because..well look at her!  She looks like a Cowgirl who got into a fight with the Conductor of Thomas the Tank Engine and lost.

The general consensus was that the house needed more cake.  So Leo and Lucy got busy skilling.

Iris got bored writing and went back to the time machine making.

And then I got the pop ups that the “L”s birthday was upon us.

Here are Leo, Lucy and Lily.   I immediately had them move out.  Is it just me or do Luy and Lily look almost identical except for the skintone?  I never noticed that before.

CRASH!

Like a dumbass, I forgot to save before the move.   Now we get to replay all the way from day 2.  Because I’m an idiot.   An idiot who forgot to save.  Let’s put it into perspective.  The L’s have three day until their birthday

Next time, we will have re-birthdays, re-move outs and some more birthdays and soon, more babies.  Will we ever get perfect genetics? How many babies does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop perfect genetics?  Stay tuned and you’ll find out like right after I do.

I mentioned in the last update that we had to backtrack.  Don’t worry it is not very far at all.  It was simultaneously happening while the engagements were happening.  Poor Iris searched all over Santa Teresa looking for a man.  It was decided that her sisters and aunts stole them all and hid them under their beds.  The single men pretty much numbered in the brothers/cousins/uncles department.  If they were not related to her, they had at least fathered children from said female family members.  I dropped 7 males into the game.  6 of them were randomized and stuck in after some tweaking.  One is a legacy son, who I wanted to match up with a CAS female and hopefully have the Gen. 4 child marry their offspring.

As usual, it is pitch black night.

Here are the first 2.  The guy on the right was scanned and scored about 60-70, but Iris quickly found that he was shy, loner and insane.  They started fighting soon after meeting.  Guy on the left registered at a 10.

The one on the left scored around 25.  The two on the right scored almost 60.

She chatted them each up.

She quickly got bored of them and tried to go home.

I had her come here to visit with these two.  One of which was supposed to populate the world with his spawn, just not with Iris.

Iris:  pssst…Jenn.  JENN!  Is that…No way!
Me:  Yep, that is one Spike Spunk from A Rather Spunky Legacy.

Iris completely ignores the existence of the pink haired guy and literally zeroes in on poor unsuspecting Spike.  By the end of the introductions, when she scanned the room, Spike hit at 70.  Pink hair was 0.

Iris:  Um *bats eyes*  uh.  I’m Iris.  I am the third generation heiress in this challenge for perfect genes.  I am currently on a search for a man who would like to procreate endlessly until we get our perfect child.

I was very sad that you were not voted as heir for your legacy.  We rooted for you from the time you were born.  What brought you here to Santa Teresa.

Spike:  I am here to recuperate from an unfortunate accident.  I was trying to prove that I deserved to be the Emperor of Evil.  The bosses had me sneak into the Science Facility and try to steal all the rainbow gems that children had been collecting for them for years.  They opened up a space-time rift and the conditions caused some genetic mutations to happen.  It’s getting late, maybe it’s time for you to leave.  Visit me tomorrow and we will talk more about your challenge.

Meanwhile –  Engagements were still going on.  They all took turns “playing” in the time machine.  The ghost puppies were then born.

Iris:  You….you’re blue?!  Did it hurt?  Are you okay?  Are you fertile?
Spike:  Yes, I am.  No, it didn’t.  Yes, I’m fine.  Yes, I am.  Can we just play now?

Iris: Okay.  Am I allowed to ask any questions, ever?
Spike:  Does my appearance bother you?
Iris: Not in the least.  Hello, did you not notice that I’m green and purple.

I had her scan room again after their chess match.  He hit for 85.  I am really enjoying the scan room option, Iris is my first sim to actually use it.

Since, Iris does not have the inappropriate trait, the first kiss took like three days to achieve.  Oh and that headless body to the right is Ingrid.  She is at the park playing catch with two kids of the family.  Cousins probably.

Under the watchful eyes of her three family members…

Iris:  Spike, will you be my boyfriend with the potential in the future to make copious amounts of babies?
Spike:  Only on the condition that I get 3 time machine woohoo’s a day.
Iris: A…a day?  Three??  How about per week?
Spike:  Sorry, if we are talking per week, the number hits 10.  Once before work and once after work on any five days.  You can then have two days off to recuperate or pop out babies.
Iris: Sold!

Iris:  Are you seriously trying to cop a feel in my driveway?  I have a million people in the house that could be watching.
Spike:  You glitched, dumbass.  I thought you were trying to maneuver yourself so that my hand fell into a cop a feel zone.  I was only trying to do what I thought you were silently asking.
Iris: Uh huh.  That hand needs to stop.  In fact, why don’t you scoot.

Iris:  See much better.
Spike: Nope, I think I prefer the previous way a LOT better.

The next day found the two lovebirds exercising the bed springs.  All six teens had been doing a reenactment of back to the future for the past several days.  So, poor Spike has not yet gotten his first time machine woohoo.

Iris changes jobs more than a normal person changes their undies.  I have no clue what she is pretending to be today.

Now, we won’t have to care for several days.  Bring on Generation 4!!

Iris:  Hunny?  Guess what?
Spike:  Yes, shnookums.
Iris:  Oh shut up.  We are having a baby!  Our first (and only) time was successful.

Iris:  I really think it’s time for you to move in.  I just don’t think I’m ready to be married yet.  Bad things happen to the married people in this house.
Spike:  I’m a cop, dear.  I have heard all the rumors and stories.  As long as you don’t try to kill me and we stay out of the path of meteors, we will be okay.
Iris:  A cop?  I thought you wanted to be the Emperor of Evil??  It got me all hot thinking you were bad.
Spike:  Side effect from  the rift.  My traits went haywire.  I now, love the outdoors.  I am a neat, family oriented, nurturing genius…who just so happens to have cuffs.  We’ll try those out when we start on baby #2.
Iris: I am only having babies until we get the perfect genetics.  Our first might do that and then no more babies.
Spike:  Well, I grew up with sisters..they were wacky, but at least we had each other.  We at least need a second child.
Iris:  I’m just not really into kids, ya know?
Spike:  *deep breath*  Mylifetimewishistobesurroundedbyfamily!!
Iris: *gasp*  AND YOU’RE JUST NOW TELLING ME THAT!?!?!  I HATE KIDS!!!  *mimicking Spike*  “We at least need a second child”  Fuck.  and a third, fourth and fifth dammit!
Spike: Oh hush.  You’ll get over it, just like your dad and grandma did.
Iris stomped off like a baby.  Her rampage created quite a bit of shock around the house.

She was slamming cakes out of thin air on to all  open surfaces. Muttering obscenities at anyone brave enough to stand within 200 yards of her.

Iris:  Everyone get your asses in here.  I  have to become a baby factory, that mean you all need to get out.
Teens:  But..it’s late and we’re tired and hungry.
Iris: I don’t care!

The lag is going to kill me.  I swear.  The poor things are dropping like flies.

During editing:  Found the L kids.  I had no memory of aging them up with the K’s.  My bad.

I should mention that poor Iris did not go on a rampage.  She also was never given the dislikes children trait, because I forgot.  Aaand damn! She’s ginormous.  No fertility treatment, kids music or tv.

This is either Puppy 3 or Glider.  Floater was sent off to a relative to live out forever in happiness.  Iris was out early one morning to finally teach some hunting skills.

Uh oh.  Alfie is going to be no help.  He is over yonder teaching the bird to sing.

Iris drove herself to the hospital in the hopes of getting perfect genes on the first try.

Around the corner and down the street is Spike, who finally got the okay from his boss to head to be with his girl.

Make that his girls.  Meet Michelle.  Jade’s first great-grandchild.  Alfie’s first grandchild.

This is what little Michelle will need to have perfect genetics.  Green hair, purple eyes.

Daddy Spike’s genes might be pretty awesome, but they might cause problems for the Wahl line.  His hair is blue/green and his eyes are the original.  I believe they are grey.

There is nothing more adorable than babies in the swing.  It’s my new favorite item ever.  I can’t believe I have had it since the day it came out and just now started using it this week.  Twoftmama is attempting to make me a mod so no one will autonomously turn it on.  *hugz* and thanks for trying in advance.  Poor Michelle is in a room all by herself with a locked door because Grandpa Alfie keeps turning it to the fast setting and she starts screaming.

He’s amazing as a dad.

Iris: *mumbles* Green and purple little one.  Don’t let me down.

There’s two of the L kids.  I don’t know how I missed their birthday’s and pics, but I did.  They went off to boarding school before I got a hold of them.

Iris:  Remember green and purple.
Spike:  She’s perfect no matter her genetics.  Try to remember that.

Michelle:  I not showing my eyes, mommy.
Iris: No matter.  They’re probably blue like your great-grandpa Victor since you got his blonde hair.

Michelle:  Blonde and purple, mommy.
Iris:  I could care less.  You, little one, are the cutest thing ever just the way you are.
SPIKEY!?!
Spike: Yes, dear?
Iris:  Crank up the machine, you can finally start your twice a day play time.

I still haven’t figure this thing out, but the teens brought some goodies back and Alfie got robbed.  I really have no clue how the woohoo and TFB work, but it’s a good thing we have oodles of time to try it out.

Dammit Alfie…stop that!!   Shit.  That totally backfired on me.  I saw that Bianca emerged from the grave for the first time.  I figured I would send Alfie over to chat and flirt.   Bad idea.   She yelled at him and he jumped her and beat her ass.

Time machine woohoo wasn’t enough?

Man, Iris wasn’t kidding one bit.  Four time machine woohoos.  Three bed woohoos and a hot tub woohoo.  No lullaby.

Until next time my friends.  Will we ever see perfect genetics?  Or even a second pregancy?  Can we get Alfie and Bianca to forgive and forget?  Will the L kids finally get their makeovers?  Stay tuned.

A/N:  So, I rushed some teens into YA and out of the house in an attempt to lessen the household.  All the K’s did marry their IF’s and were sent out into the world.  After playing for a bit (and restarting the game), I realized that it was not the size of the household causing problems. I am not sure what it is, but I just spent a lot of this evening (Feb. 25) deleting over a GB of cc and mods. I kept all my hair, but random things will look different for a bit. Consider yourself forewarned.  If it keeps up, I will have to move them.  I think the save files are just about to hit 300 mb, which is probably a major factor in the problem.

In comparison- the Tarts are at 250 mb, The Desiderio’s are at over 400 mb and Vinson’s, are doing good at 100mb, but still the worst one to play.  Queen Bee is at a very decent 40 mb, but still so laggy.  I hope the cc deletion will help.  Cross your fingers, guys.  With Showtime coming, I’m hoping to hold off a complete EP/SP reinstall until it is in my hands.
