The Sims Mastery

Hello viewers,

When I last left off, I was sane. My family was going smoothly, and everyone was sane, like me. Now, however, I find myself involuntarily screaming at the computer screen whenever a sim does something I don’t want him/her to do. I often have my family screaming back at me to shut the heck up. But, it’s worth it… It’s fun, and I can use it as an excuse not to go out. For example:

MOM: Hey, Jess, want to go on a walk?

ME: Can’t, Mom, getting pics for my next blog post.

MOM: Are you sure? It’s drizzling, very nice weather.

ME: Positively sure, mom.

MOM: Are you sure?

ME: Yes, mom. Definitely sure.

MOM: Sure you’re sure?

ME: Yes, I am sure with the entirety of my being.

MOM: …

And that’s how it usually goes. See, my mom is practically jumping in glee whenever she sees me because of my blog, so she can’t really argue. It gets useful. Anyway, back to whatever I was saying… We left off at a peaceful point in time. However, during the four days that I had to play and get pics, Deirdre had another baby (why me?!), Guin and Dez grew up into teens (noes), and I slowly dropped from sane to mentally unsafe. With all the simming I’ve been doing (We have a five day break from school, yay Memorial Day!), I wouldn’t be surprised if my parents would want to take me to the “Funny Farm.” >_<

So Dez and Guin received A+’s soon enough:

And not to long after, Deirdre and Tucker had their third kid, Leander:

He really resembles his sisters,which means he resembles his mom and a mix of his dad’s face. After four days of utter hell, he grew up at the same time the twins did. He became a toddler, while they became teens.

I don’t know why, but his eyes are almost always closed! Here are pics of Dez and Guin as teens:

As you can see, immediate changes in wardrobe were required. I sent both of them to “Cold Issue Clothing” (lol get it? hot topic? cold issue? lol? lol?)

Things were much easier for me afterward. The twins got accepted into private school, and I got cars for Tuck and Deirdre. Leander grew into a toddler, having learned to walk, talk, and use the potty, and Deirdre got pregnant. Again. Leander soon got accepted into private school, and I got a birdy, yay. And that’s basically all that happened. Here’s a pic of Rainbow, the parrot:

Is it just me, or does Maxis make the parrot’s flight look comepletly fake? During all this I took pointless pictures out of boredom. Here are a few:

During the pregnancy with Leander, Deirdre’s needs dropped quicker than ever. That picture is a perfect example of something that pushed me closer to insanity. This following screenshot is Deirdre’s new uniform for school. It cracks me up:

Another weird coincidence was that the family, before Leander, that is, tended to do the same things at the same time:

Yes, that’s my version of Mortal Kombat. Eventually, Deirdre got horribly unfit, so I had her use the TV to work out. However, the TV was broken, and it was being stubborn. So, I had her fix it. It took over 7 sim hours, because she’s pathetic when it comes to mechanics, and afterwards, she was fit again, so the whole point of fixing the TV was rendered useless, or at least until someone wanted to watch football.

And I couldn’t help taking this picture. Sim births are hilarious:

Another little quirk was that as children, whenever Dez or Guin cooked something using the kid’s oven, it burnt. Every single time, it burnt.

At least I didn’t have to go wake up Deirdre or Tucker whenever the kids were hungry.

At one point, some creepy stalker dude stole the gnome in my front yard. I was about to have Tucker go steal it back, but Guin already had the action on her “To Do” list. So I figured, why not? And then I fell out of my chair looking at her expression:

Oh yeah, I forgot to include a picture of kid Leander:

Speaking of Leander, Here’s a toddler pic of him playing with the creepy charisma bunny:

And more about Leander–Tucker was actually a really big help when it came to taking care of Leander. Tucker seemed to care more about his family than he did before Leander came along. Male bonding, I guess?

And this last screen is… weird…. I recently downloaded a new camera mod. I forgot the name, but it’s so much better than the regular camera! And with it, I zoomed all the way out on the neighborhood view, and something peculiar caught my eye. Has anyone else seen something like this?

I checked the decorations panel, and it wasn’t there anywhere. I don’t know if this was downloaded with something else I downloaded, or if it was there from the beginning, but it intrigued me. If anyone has any idea what this is, please click Mr. Comment Button. And while we’re talking about comments, the time is coming for the next heir to be chosen. There’s Leander, Guin, and Dez. If anyone would like to vote, feel free to vouch, but I doubt anyone would bother. That’s all for now!
