Autumn in Alphabetia, part 4

katrisimsAlright, despite excuses such as having gone back to work and other such things that come in the way of simming, it's time for another part of my autumn picspam. Two houses again, because that's apparently just about what I can manage at one time. I'm a bit behind with these but oh well, when aren't I?
The Cameron household
Author + Count Curtis -> Adrian + Nicole -> Beth + Sean -> Carl
Alright, first up, the Camerons. As I mentioned before, there are some spoilers with regard to this household, and thus, I can only share a few pictures even though I played a (nearly) full rotation there. I'm bursting with the secret, but it'll be such fun to post it in that chapter...
So, I'm sure you remember Carl, Cho's cousin and fellow romancer who lived in the Greek House in college. He's all grown up now, and has his own house.
And here are his parents, Beth and Sean, whom you've seen as elders maybe once or twice. I pondered on whether I should move them in with Carl, and in the end decided to do so. Carl didn't move in with them after college because their house was tiny and badly expandable. I contemplated letting Beth and Sean stay in their own place, but decided playing a house with just two elders would be boring. Plus, something else also happened which helped me make up my mind, which I'm not saying...
Carl topped Education with ease. It wasn't his LTW, though, he wants to be a Celebrity Chef, but Culinary hasn't come up yet.
Once a tub pirate, always a tub pirate.
Beth started a garden here, too, and the hard work payed off.
These two are as much in love as ever.
Chris paid a visit, I think Sean brought her from work, and she and Carl autonomously became buddies. Carl of course talked about his favorite topic.
Chloe, who already was buddies with Carl, also popped by, and there was some catching up.
And no, there was no surprise romance (thanks to friends zone, yay), but there was some interesting saying goodbye.
... yeah. I think that's about all I can share from this house. Sorry, next!
The Patch household
Author + Count Curtis -> Abraham + Kendra -> Bianca + Ramin -> Carla + Kevin (-> Darren)
So, up next are the Patches, meaning the descendants of Abraham and Kendra. This here is Kevin, the soon-to-be spouse of Carla, the generation C second cousin.
And here's some crowd from the birthday party currently in progress. Beth is always everywhere, and Ryker is a buddy too. And that's the Patch family dog, Jake, he's playing with.
And this guy who's socializing with Bonnie, is Connor, Carla's little brother who's still in college but came over for the party.
And here's today's birthday boy, Ramin. He's the spouse of Bianca from last generation. Time to grow old, Ramin!
Here's some birthday crowd. Ramin's a pop sim and has a lot of friends. And you'll probably recognize Bianca on the left. She came straight from work, hence the outfit.
Time to blow out the candles, then.
"Hooray, Ramin's old!"
The young couple of the house had their own concept of fun at a party - and with consequences. I had been playing with ACR settings, and forgotten unmarried TFB on. Oops. Well, not that these two wouldn't be having babies anyway. It's just an early start.
Birthday party success!
And here's Ramin after a makeover.
The family still has Dolores the cowplant. I keep her in "Abraham's lair" with the door locked and yet behind a locked gate. I try to remember to feed her too, though, to avoid accidents.
Ramin Became the Law and scored another LTW. I forget what it is that he wants now.
For elixir reasons I'm sure, Bianca was a day behind from Ramin age wise. So the next day was her birthday.
There was a lot of cheering, again. Kevin did the cheering in his undies, because he tried to sneak of to bed when I wasn't looking. Ever since I installed AL, my sims have pretty vigorously tried to go to bed at like 6 pm, and I've been in a battle to stop them. Somewhat annoying but oh well.
Bianca post-makeover. I'd started to dislike her hair somewhat, it often looks weir when she turns her head, so now I got to change it into something I liked better. Plus I like my elders to be grey, which the old hair didn't apparently allow. I think she turned out pretty well.
Time for Carla to become more pregnant.
Bianca got an interesting chance card. She was a roadie, and on while the band was on stage, some equipment guy had his safety ropes disattach or something, and Bianca was supposed to either call the band off the stage, or try to re-attach the safety ropes. Well, we chose the latter, and she did some pretty amazing acrobatics, managed to attach the rope, saved the show and the band was in eternal debt of gratitude and so on. She was rewarded with... a mechanical skill point! :D
Anyway, this was what I was originally going to take a picture of: Carla on the phone. This is a very much pop sim household, everyone has a lot of buddies to keep up with.
Jake the dog can be a bit annoying at times, he's the kind of idiot who picks fights with wolves and such. But I can't deny he's cute.
Time to get the ball rolling for the young couple. The usual date to try to get marriage wants. Alas, this time it doesn't work.
Bianca decides she'd like some bathroom smustle.
Engagement spam, eeeeee!
Even though now very pregnant, Carla always loves the ballet barre.
Wedding time... And this time's "Accidental Bride" price goes to Sunny Hamilton, who's clearly anticipating marrying Chip. If only he'd propose...
Yeah, I'm terrible at keeping the wedding dresses for the sims' own wedding only. I always forget.
Bianca: "Oh, I don't feel too good, boss... Could I maybe stay at home today and get better?"
Boss: "But of course, just get better!"
Bianca: *hangs up* "Oh my, I feel so much better already!"
Uh oh. I forgot that these two don't like each other too much, and someone was buddies with both. Someone distract them before there are bodies!
Time to get married, then.
At least the parents are watching. I, of course, made them.
And where are all the others? In the livingroom, of course.
Alright I admit it's not entirely their fault. I had to put the arch upstairs because that was pretty much the only place with just about enough room. This lot is sort of crowded, with Abraham's old lair and the big swimming pool outside.
The cake did what the ceremony just couldn't do: got the guests streaming upstairs.
"I wonder what these chairs are for. I've never seen a dining arrangement like this, and upstairs!"
Uh oh, identical dresses! I only just missed the two of them hugging, I would have wanted to see how they manage it with the bellies.
The pregnant ones are the first to leave.
Cho was there too, to congratulate her cousin.
The wedding is successfully over, and not a moment too soon. The next night Carla goes into labor.
Kevin: "Meet someone new, +1000!"
It's a litle baby boy, with Carla's coloring and Kevin's eyes. We named him Darren.
Darren is much adored, of course.
"If there's a green cloud around it, it's hungry, right?"
Apparently Carla and Kevin want more kids, they get started on the next one right away.
Carla tops Athletic and completes her LTW. She was permaplat already, though.
And Ramin makes 100,000. He's fortune secondary and wanted to.
Some work buddies are over.
And also new buddies among relatives are made.
"Hello? I can't woohoo right now!"
"I need to go 'pop'." And so, Carla is visibly pregnant again.
And while the family was going to sleep, we had to evict these two from our tub, they were clearly having an interesting discussion. But rotations end and sometimes you just have to go home, sorry guys.
So such this time. Again I'll post more rotation picspam when I find the time. :)

Date: Aug. 6th, 2011 12:58 pm (UTC)Also, a quick question. I'm starting to get annoyed by the mix of pregnant - non-pregnant clothes, it is always trial and error, especially when you can't even see it in the shopping mode, you just have to buy and try, or try the clothes on, each and everyone of them. *sigh* I like the idea of having clothes that more fit to the personalities of my sims but I'm starting to think that it is really more trouble than it is worth... So, in short, where did you get those pregnant defaults? They look nice and I might try them as well - at least when I get my game working again. :)

Date: Aug. 7th, 2011 06:14 pm (UTC)Ah yes. I had the exact same annoyance. I love the idea of wearing the everyday clothes during pregnancies too, but then a lot of my clothing doesn't have pregmorphs, and it's a sort of a nasty surprise when you've picked the perfect update for your sim and then it doesn't have a pregmorph. And you have to go through all clothes you could imagine them wearing and see by trial and error if any of those have a one... So I got sick of that. But, anyway, those defaults I found some time ago via MTS finds I think, and they're from here. I'm pretty happy with those so far. :)
