The MacAvoy ISBI - Generation 6.2!

[tigeranne]

You know something? This is not 5.7! It's 6.2! I've messed up, and have to make new teasers.

Hi ISBI-fans! It's been a few weeks since the last update, so if you need a reminder of what happened, you can find it right here. Sorry about the screamingly white font, but any attempt at colour made it worse. Believe me.


After narrowly avoiding messing everything up (thanks to a little "accident"), Danny warmed up in the sauna. There was no rest for his wicked ass however, as he had to go decontaminate his sister before the whole house caught the flu.


It was time for some Grandma's Comfort Soup. Oh and BTW, Danny's an underwear-person. It seems appropriate, somehow. o_O


At the soup desinfection party, Philippa showed off her good manners to her new family. The Macs were impressed, I think?


Danny tried his luck again after dinner, by cautiously placing a ring on Philippa's finger.


This time she didn't have a fit, so married they were. I for real forgot to change Danny into something other than underpants. Sorrz.


Philippa immediately started showing signs of fitting in.


The inside of her head appears to be some sort of dimentional gate. You know that Creepypasta story with the doors in the middle of nowhere, that can only be seen from one side? As in, if you walk around them they become invisible. Which one is that again? Is it Abandoned by Disney? I know I could look it up, but if I recall correctly it was very long. x)


Suddenly a great-great-grandmother appeared in the wild. I haven't seen Helena around in ages. Danny was promptly dispatched to greet her.


Daniel, we're watching yooouuuu...


Helena: Hi. Are you one of my descendents?

Sean: Yes, I'm Sadie's second-oldest. My name's Sean. Wait. Are you... Helena?

Helena: That I am.

Sean: Wow, this is a little like meeting Queen Victoria!


Danny and Pippa - as I'm going to call her - moved into what had been Elena's room. Elena got one of the small ones across the hall, which had once belonged to Annabelle. She was only a couple of days from moving out, and only needed a temporary place to bunk.


I wasn't at all sure how well Elena was really doing. She wasn't throwing any tantrums, and merrily spent all day after school playing chess. In fact, her Logic Skill was maxed out by this point. However... In the loading screen portrait she was shown in the arms crossed pose, like Lillith Pleasant. She must have been hovering just above the brink of aspiration failure.


Helena put her stamp of approval on all the cats, by booping their noses. They approved her by allowing it.


Meanwhile, Danny was experiencing honeymoon bliss.


Pippa found her way to the karaoke machine and proved that she was just about born to be a MacAvoy.


M-hmm. Science.


Figure 57G-1: How to get back into the house if you're Daniel.


Carter has become so obsessed with the ballet barre, it's pretty much his whole life at this point.


Danny woke up early, and had time to study some cooking before work.


I just had to show you the picture behind him. It looks like something from Spongebob or Steven Universe. Maybe it is, I haven't watched much of either of those shows. (Unpopular opinion coming through, I just couldn't "get into" Steven Universe. I tried watching a couple of episodes, but I simply wasn't interested.)


Pippa joined Danny on the couch, with some recreational reading.


Sadie: Have you noticed that Danny seems to have gotten married lately?

Elena: I dunno, has he?


I noticed Harriet zooooooming through the house with the karaoke in her thought bubble. I wondered if she was planning on murdering it, and Danny would have to go and sort her out. But instead she did this. Don't try to tell me that she's not singing karaoke, because I won't be listning.


Sean and Helena spent the night in the hot-tub, getting to know each other.

Marshall: This can't be healthy.

Adelaide or Bailey: Yeah, I'm going to keep a safe distance.


Pippa seems to 1: have high neat-points, and 2: be pregnant. :D


Another souping was deemed necessary to combat the flu. Sadie had managed to avoid the first one, and may have been the one to spread the germs to several other family members shortly after.


Lora: Darling, you do realise that your husband is asleep in a bowl of liquid?

Sadie: Yeah, that's normal these days.

Remember how sweet Lora and Fred were up until the end (for Fred)? Sadie and Carter barely acknowlege each other anymore. It kind of reminds me of Jen and Curtis, except Carter doesn't throw crying fits all over the place.


Just because it's 3am and you should be in bed, that doesn't mean you don't have to take care of your pets when they demand play time.


Danny: I hope I'll be better at feeding the babies.


Sadie: Oh no, I'm so scared of singing karaoke!


So scared, in fact, that she did three songs in a row?


Danny hurried to the barre before his dad could get there, so Carter would have to go to bed for once.


Lora had worn the same clothes and hair fivever, and needed a make-over. And yes, I know! Evil adfly CC! But I haz the power of adfly skipper and Malwarebytes, plus I ran everything through this third site that scans for anything malicious. And I'm glad I got this stuff when I did, because Lindasims' Wix site seems to be gone.


The MacAvoy immortals grow only younger with time. x)


Sadie: See ya laterz, peeps! I'm off to torrent some goods. Get it?

Lora: We're all so proud of you!


Uh oh. We may have a conflict of interests in the house. :O


Sadie: I'm hitching a ride with y'all. Pirates and the Army go way back, we've been in all the adventure movies together!

Driver: Who are you?

Sadie: Possibly your new best friend.


Driver: You're sure you're regimentally dressed?`


Pippa: Never mind, let's just go before your twin in the school bus starts asking questions.


Who knew workouts made you sweaty eventually. :O


Suddenly Charlie Tang appeared, having gained a Hitler moustache since the last time he had screen time. Narrator...? I'm watching you!

I was hoping Charlie was going to steal their newspaper and get zapped, but he just strolled right past with his flashing blue tower of hats.


Back home from work, Pippa popped before she could even get inside the house.


Sadie brought Riana Starbloom over after work, and the two of them gossiped heartily about Elena --> bad grades --> Stephen/Tempest. Were they gossiping about how mean Elena was for mocking Stephen for his fail grades?


No one in the house is called Lisa. I think that's the name of the lady who called, though.


Rowland Magpie, who also happens to be Helena's second husband, came strolling. Danny invited him in.


Seeing Rowland's unusual face made Danny feel very handsome.


What is it with Romance Sims and the chess board? Is this a thing, or simply a coincidence that only happens in my game for coincidental reasons?


Finally! Elena was finally ready to grow up! She's been a teen forever.


Riana? Could you try to look a little interested?


Sean also dropped by to see his sister come of age. He's in the upper right corner, wearing a surfing suit.


Everyone: Hooray!


And here's the adult Elena, looking very Garden of Shadows Chic.


She wasn't in that bad Aspiration after all. And yeah, she definitely seems to be on the right track.


Isn't she pretty darn gorgeous?


Sadie started explaining to her step-great-grandfather that her marriage had once been very passionate.


I know I've said before that Sadie reminds me of Helena, but this is too much!


Then they started literally hitting on each other.


In other news, Elena's still an underwear Sim who borderline flashes her brother constantly.


Tallie's going to have to get a karaoke machine, because she's got so many obsessed Macs and Mags living with her now.


The party carried on throughout the night, outside in a heavy snowfall. There wasn't room for Pippa in the tub, but she waited patiently for her turn and hoped she could get Rowland's phone number.


Suddenly she realised he was naked! The horror!

Riana: I wonder what would happen if Diaper Man got in a hot tub. Would he absorb all the water and become a giant water balloon? Or would he dissolve?

Rowland: Hmmm, we may have to persuade him to take a dip, in order to find out.

Riana: But what if he died from it? I know he's not really human, but he's sapient, so wouldn't that kind of be murder?

Sean: He would probably just get recycled back into Bella's brain, and become part of her consciousness again.

Rowland: That's worse.


Sadie came out to study the effects extremely cold temperatures were having on Rowland's body parts.


Pippa had her first brush with the dangers of pregnancy. :O


She was surprisingly sensible about what to do in such a situation, though. The army must have trained her in survival.


Let it just be said that while I - TigerAnne - may not be everyone's idea of a thoroughly decent person, I'm not 100% okay with this chance card. It's not just that piracy in itself (and I'm not talking about the online kind here) is an extremely hardboiled and terrifying type of crime, you can't even choose whether your Sim character wants to engage in it or not. The only choice you have is who to bestow the gift of PTSD upon. Yes, maybe I'm reading too much into this! Anyway, the cruise ship would have children and old people on board, the freighter would have a crew of tough men. Let's go for the cargo ship.


I'm not totally happy with the "good" outcome of the card either. It kind of seems like the pirates are like "He he, just kidding. We're going to help you instead of hogtying and robbing you, because we're nice like that." And if Sadie had chosen to rob the cruise liner instead, the warhead would have gone kaboom, and there would have been many dead sailors and radioactive sea life. But we wouldn't have known about it, so that's okay!

I don't want to be the kind of Sims player who compares the game to real life! Look what 2020 is doing to us all!


Ohai! Sadie works with Leicester now. They're related somehow. I think. Kind of. Yes, Sadie's brother, Wesley, is married to Leicester's sister, Ferrett. Leicester and Wesley hate each other's faces.


Sadie wasted very little time before telling Les the juicy story about her children and their grades. Sometimes I get the feeling that Sadie thinks it's hilarious that two of her sons were absolute losers all the time she was in charge of them.


Elena: LOL, I'm having that dream again where I'm singing karaoke almost naked, and... OH NO I'M AWAKE!!!! D:

Freedom is coming, darling. Just hang in there, okay?


Pippa is approved. :) Sims can't get toxoplasmosis, so this is perfectly safe socialising. But as Raelynn would say if she was here right now, THIS is a STORY and you need to wear a mask and eat a lot of vegetables.


When I took the screenshot, I misread the text as "Daniel has been promoted to Walter," and I was like "Um?" And then I read it the same way again now!

Annabelle was curious as to how terrible life at the old homestead could possibly have become. If you don't remember her, she's Sadie's older sister, and Danny & Elena's aunt. She currently lives with Laurelin, in the Victorian house that used to be the Starbloom homebase during the hunt for The Book of Edgar. I think she's engaged to Nathaniel Nightinsparrow, at least he's her boyfriend.


Elena: Grandma, please don't?


Hey, remember the greenhouse they got as a Christmas pressie? Neither did I! Suddenly I discovered it in a corner of the lot, and thought that it was a very good time to send Danny out gardening. But then the apocalypse started happening and I had to save and quit.


Pippa is very autonomous. She recycles, she cleans, she feeds herself, etc. I wonder if it's because she's been around as a townie for such a long time. It's almost a little sad to have her end up as a future braindead ISBI spouse. Maybe I'll have Danny and her move out, once the heir comes of age.


Elena: HI, I EXIST! :D


Tempest Stephen called Sadie, to ask what was new. The cage in the back there is still empty. They're getting a pet hedgehog, but I've forgotten to have Danny stock the cage.


Pippa continued to be brave about pregnancy, while Leicester was telling a spooky story about vengeful ghosts. Annabelle has one of those as her brother-in-law, so hopefully she listened intently.


You know it's an ISBI when even your controllable Sim can't walk a straight line to the door. There's NOTHING blocking his way.


He made it inside just in time to watch Pippa go into labour.


It's a girl, with most of Danny's genetics except for a lighter skin colour. Why can't this family just stay nice and tan? Look at Annabelle, for example. She's white as a sheet, and her dad was Black. Helena, who would probably have been considered a WoC in the real world, had the even paler Jennifer. This game usually handles genetics in a quite realistic manner, but the MacAvoy family must have had its algorithms messed up.


Please to welcome Everly MacAvoy to the world!


Lora: Thank you for making a delivery this late. Our fridge was empty, and my first great-grandchild was just born.

Mitch?: Oh, wow! Congratulations on being a.... WHAT????

That means Helena's a great-great-great-grandmother now! Has she surpassed Aylatani? Let me think... No. Tani is great-great-great-grandmother to Aami and Andi.


Daniel: Do you mind, dude?! My daughter is just an hour old! Please let her have some innocense.

Leicester: But I don't want to be a bad role-model, by being a grown-up who pees himself!

Daniel: Oh for goodness' snake, there are two toilets upstairs!


The arrival of Everly called for a celebration with taco casserole. The birthday child was too young to join the party. :(


Everly: UwU


The first force-feeding: An important milestone in every ISBI-baby's life.


Annabelle: That's not how you hold a baby. Elena, you should have stayed in school!


Everly: :C ???

Harriet: I'm sorry, I can't help you. If I start climbing up Elena's legs to get you, she's probably going to start crazy-dancing and drop you on the hardwood. And then you hit your head and become like her.

Everly: O_O


Lora: I LOVE MY BABIES SOOOO MUUUUCH!


Lora: And I'll probably like you a lot when I get to know you better, but right now my own baby is looking at me for attention.


Everly: I need to learn to do that trick.


Sadie: I'm so thrilled to be A GRANDMOTHER! :D

Harriet: ...!!

Everly: O.o


Adelaide is a bit evil, sometimes, and it makes me wonder if it would be better to send her over to Tallie's place with Elena. Spoiler: The assassination attempt on Full Metal Chef was not successful.


Everly finally got plunked in a crib, to get some sleep.


Balin: Woof.


Danny had time for some father-daughter activities before he had to go to work. I was hoping he could get her fed and changed before then, so she could just snooze peacefully until he got home.


At this point, Elena moved out. Here she is over at Tallie's house, accompanied by a trash bin and a Sim Blender.


This is her personality. FULL NICE POINTS. And super neat to boot. She's basically too good for the Nightinwolves.

Tallie and Starling have one Nice Point each. Lily has ZERO. I think Falcon has three. Leicester, who's technically not a Nightinwolf but a Magpie, is a little nicer with five or six. I'm not sure about Sean and Stephen Tempest.


Fish: *are ded*

Danny: You gotta be kidding me. They were alive just a minute ago, and I was going to feed them and clean the tank! I fear for my children's wellbeing, with me as their protector. :O

Here's the thing: All the adults in the family work now, and with unpredictable promotions and change of what days are off, there's a good chance everyone will be out of the house at once at times. So there was little choice but to hire a nanny.




Don't worry, it'll be okay.


...or maybe not.


Oh no. It's Calista Despret, who Phil cheated on Aylatani with, completely autonomously. I had no idea that could even happen without ACR. And it looks like she found Fred's old Baby Flier.


It was like something from a Japanese horror movie. Calista floated around the room in a T-pose while flashing colours. The fact that she wears her hair in an Asian up-do style didn't exactly help. She was "human" as long as she was in the kitchen, but every time she went through another door she became a vengeful ghost from Japan. They have the worst freaking ghosts. European spooks usually just hover mistily in the air and aren't particularly dangerous. But those Japanese dead assholes are really physical, super fast and all arms and legs flailing around like the creepiest spiders you can imagine. They're extremely powerful and can easily kill people.

Oh and I'm talking about movies here, FYI. I've never seen a ghost, and I don't particularly want to see any. Especially not any Japanese ones, thank you so much!


It went from creepy to funny when Calista floated into the bathroom to take a leak and read a paper.


Maybe she was trapped in the mirror dimension, since her reflection looked completely normal.


Then she went upstairs to sing karaoke.

Calista: Just tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree...


Speaking of vengeful... Liranda called and asked to talk to Carter. I wonder if some little bird had tweeted to her that Carter had been showing a somewhat inappropriate interest in hanging out with Andrina.


Danny: I'm not a prep, darn it. I'm a bonafide Hipster! I want to serve people's food on everything other than plates!


Pippa continued to be helpful and competent.


At the same time, Everly's childhood continued to be unusually harsh, even for this family.


The once so capable Lora was completely stumped as to how to get past the baby of blockage.


Harriet: I'm so sorry, shortstuff, but I don't have hands. Maybe I could pull you out into the kitchen by my teeth, but you may lose a toe or two.

Everly: :C


Pippa: I scorched y'all some cookies, because I had the cravez.


Daniel: All this gardening is making me feel like an absentee father.


Carter: So you're pregnant again, are you?

Pippa: Yeah. Suddenly I have this interest in learning to cook!


Wait, who let Lora out?


Everly: I think I'm scared of Daddy, if this is him.


Danny behaved as if his consciousness was indeed in another place, because he didn't even notice that his mother stripped down to take a bath, right next to where he stood. Maybe he was just very focused on fixing the tap?

Sadie didn't seem to acknowlege the fact that he was there either.


Danny: This place is going to the dogs!


I have a feeling that Ryan will be dethroned as the most inappropriate of my Sims.


Sadie: I have a feeling that there's something wrong about this situation, but I can't put my finger on what. Maybe I'm just sleepy.


Sadie found her jam, and it was playing the piano. I think she needs new formal wear, because that's the same dress Nettie used to have as her PJs. Yeah, with shoes and all.


Pippa has been so good at looking after herself and the others, I fear that when she trips up the fall will be sky high.


Pippa: You're getting up already?

Danny: Yeah, it's 7am. I gotta get ready for work.

Pippa: Oh. Bedtime!


Danny really tries his darn best to be a good parent, and he's probably the only source of stability in Everly's life.


And what would you know?! He's Perma-Plat!


Babby number two is on its way.


Danny: Oh yeah, French. That's a lot hipper! Hey everyone, meet my cool coworker, Brianna! She's really obscure, but brilliant!


Elena didn't poo before Danny left for work, so she was left to stew until he got back. He was just about to change her diaper when Carter snatched her up for some milk refill and would barely give her back.


It was birthday time. :D I don't know if it's good, since she'll be able to eat and use the potty on her own, or bad since she'll be able to remember all the crazy stuff that happens from now on.


Anywayz, here's Everly. I think she looks a bit like both of her parents, and it'll be interesting to see how she turns out.

It's been hard to play very much lately, because it's been so hot inside the house that my computer's been having trouble with overheating. Hopefully autumn will see much less magenta! Keep an eye out, because you never know when the Macs may be back!

Yay, another update!! :D I was so excited to see this in my feed.

> soup disinfection party

Why not have fun with it? :D

Congrats to Danny and Pippa! :) Those undies might have acted as camouflage. Pippa prolly thought, 'No way would he marry me in his underwear', so her defences were down. ;) (I love the eclectic display of pictures and paintings on the wall behind them.)

Hahaha, Danny's path into the house! XD That's brilliant.

I love the shot of Harriet singing karaoke! That's exactly what I thought, when I saw the shot. Now I want to see pets do that in my game, too.

Happy birthday, Elena! So cute that she was a teenaged Hottie. That's a great shot of everyone cheering for her. I love the way that guests encourage the birthday Sim to age up. :)

You are so sensitizing me to chance cards. Like you, I don't intend to become that Simmer, but you're making me think!

Lol at Danny being promoted to Walter! XD That might not be a bad thing, depending upon who Walter is. (*Is* there a Walter in your game? ;)

I just love how you decorate. :) I keep glancing away from the text and Sims to look at the background in your photos.

Welcome to the world, Everly! :) She looks adorable in that pink onesie. I see that Pippa opted for a traditional delivery in the bathroom, and I'm proud of Danny for swimming across the pool in time to be by her side. #simlife :D

Took me a second to spot Everly on the floor during the taco casserole celebration. That's followed by the best-placed baby-holding glitch I have ever seen. Omg, and it just keeps going, with the adults preferring Harriet to Everly. You are having the most fun ever with a Sim-baby! :D

I'm totally engrossed in the Japanese ghost-nanny horror flick unfolding in the MacAvoy's home. :O I hope it runs to many sequels.

Congrats on Danny going perma-plat! That should make his life a bit easier.

Ahhh! Toddler Everly is adorable! :) Her infancy was so memorable, I look forward to seeing what life has in store for her as a toddler.

I had the same computer trouble in July. I hope that the house cools off so that you can keep playing! :)

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

I'm v excited to hear that my update made someone excited! :D

Decorating for Sims is fun! All of mine are such weirdos, I can pretty much get away with putting anything in their homes and it's still "in character."

I don't know of any Sim named Walter, but the name may be in the Townie Spawn files somewhere. Maybe one day we'll know who Walter is!

I love customizing my Sims habitats, LOL! Howevz, it keeps affecting how I position the camera for screen shots. Very often the Sim I'm taking a pic of will be to the side of the screen, because I "had to" fit a shrub or something into the shot. Sims is not high art, so it doesn't matter one lick if I break the rules of composition, heh. But when I'm setting up scenes for a "proper" 3D render, I sometimes find it hard to balance how detailed the surroundings should be, not to take focus off the subject. How much should I blur out the background with Depth of Field, etc.

TBH, I'm getting tired of the pink and blue default baby outfits, because I've had the same ones for six or seven years! x) Sadly, I'm not able to log into Theraven's site anymore to download some new ones. There's not been any activity on the forums at all this year, so maybe no one else can log in either. I don't know anywhere else to get baby clothes.

Everly seems destined to become something special. I'm very curious how she's going to turn out!

Thank you for your long, lovely comment! <3

[holaspis.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't by any chance be interested in baby outfit with night sky and some bats on it? It was my personal favourite and I've just found it back, so sharing just in case.

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's so cute! I would have used it for sure, but sadly the download doesn't work for me. :(

But thanks, all the same!

[holaspis.livejournal.com]

Wow, we really live in times of apocalypse! Does this work? If it does, anyone who sees it and is interested can come and have it. It would be a shame if I were the last person able to use this default (yes, that's exactly how much I like it!)

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

That worked! Thank you!

Theraven's site

[notta fish (from livejournal.com)]

I'm not sure why you can't get to theraven's website anymore, I'm able to log in and browse just fine. They do, however, seem to be hosted at tapatalk.com (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/moonlightdragon/) (baby stuff at (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/moonlightdragon/baby-stuff-f26/)) which is different from before since I recall their old url was simply moonlightdragon.com or some such, but there is activity at the new location even this past week.

[sammyfrog.livejournal.com]

I for real forgot to change Danny into something other than underpants. Sorrz.

Ah, well. It's an ISBI ceremony. At least they were both mostly conscious.

Then again, it may be Philippa's goal to take over the ISBI, suck it into some other dimension. It may or may not turn out to be a good thing....

Oooh, Pippa is a cuter and easier name! I'll hop on that bandwagon.

Helena put her stamp of approval on all the cats, by booping their noses. They approved her by allowing it.

Awww, that's an important cat communication gesture. One should feel honored when a kitty wants to boop noses with you. Sometimes I say to Quinn, "Can I have a kiss?" And then we "sniff" noses.

A Hitler mustache, fierce werewolf chops, and three blue hats. That's some look there.

Lisa clearly needs a rest. Pip once called in sick to himself, and gave himself the day off. Poor ISBI dears.

What is it with Romance Sims and the chess board? Is this a thing, or simply a coincidence that only happens in my game for coincidental reasons?Suddenly she realised he was naked! The horror!

Well, at least she's interested in him for more than his body, lol!

As long as Diaper Man doesn't get into the town water supply....

I kind of think a lot of the Sims careers are rather crooked. The Adventurer career may be worse than the Criminal career. Maybe it's time for default replacement careers? I for one am really tired of the Romance and Family careers anyway.

Elena doesn't even have the excuse that her hands were occupied for the way she was vice-gripping Everly between her thighs, lol!

Poor Elena, having to live with the Nightinwolves! She'll feel like me living with my uncles. I apologize to the Nightinwolves for saying such a thing.

Uh...I think I'll stick with Kaiju.

Wow! That is amazing! Her mirror image didn't flash magenta! Fascinating!

And what is this? Interpretive pregnancy?

Danny really tries his darn best to be a good parent, and he's probably the only source of stability in Everly's life.

When his head is on straight. Gotta really admire him for going permaplat, though.

Elena didn't poo before Danny left for work, so she was left to stew until he got back.

I know you meant Everly, but this was funnier. X)

Well, after getting used to looking at all the Scheiler generation six toddlers, Everly is absolutely beautiful and adorable! But I'm sure she would have been anyway, lol!

I'm looking forward to more Macs, one of these times. Once summer has the decency to go back to hell where it belongs, hopefully you can play your other Sim families some more, because sooooooon it will be your turn with the Scheilers again!

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Pippa is a cuter and easier name! I'll hop on that bandwagon.

You know how hard it is to type Pip? I mean, it took me three tries right there. Interestingly, it's very easy to type Pippa. She doesn't become Poppa or Puppa or Piooa. I wonder why it works that way. Maybe now that I've noticed this strange coincidence, I'll start having problems with Pippa too.

As long as Diaper Man doesn't get into the town water supply....

That would be bad. Like H-Man bad.

Poor Elena, having to live with the Nightinwolves! She'll feel like me living with my uncles. I apologize to the Nightinwolves for saying such a thing.

At least the Nightinwolves shower, and aren't misogynistic racists. Lily may be the type to end up with a couple of future dead husbands, but that pales in comparison to the blight that is Axl.

Uh...I think I'll stick with Kaiju.

Yeah, let's watch one for our next Movie Night!

And what is this? Interpretive pregnancy?

I... think so?

I know you meant Everly, but this was funnier. X)

Um wow, I hope the Nightinwolves aren't gonna drive Elena completely to seed!

I'm looking forward to more Macs, one of these times. Once summer has the decency to go back to hell where it belongs, hopefully you can play your other Sim families some more, because sooooooon it will be your turn with the Scheilers again!

There's more Macs coming up. A couple of interesting curveballs have been thrown into their lives, so I want to play them for a while now. My theory that older (as in has existed in the game longer) Sims get more autonomous seems to have some merit. I'll get around to the Magpies too, but it may be Scheilers next. I never properly wrapped up the previous generation, and there will be at least a one-shot Missing Years 2. I miss the Scheilers now!

[holaspis.livejournal.com]

This entry was clearly sponsored by horror genre as a whole.

I don't remember that creepypasta, but as a freshly made The Magnus Archives fan I can tell one thing: if there's a door leading to nowhere, it's surely The Spiral's work.

The nanny issues made me google "Chinese jumping vampire", because I vaguely remembered them jumping in T-pose in some sort of media? The actual name is Jiangshi by the way, and nothing I've read makes it impossible for a Sim nanny to become one (not even the most complicated way of: "the body must be left unburied, then it has to be struck by lightning and then a pregnant cat has to cross it" would be completely out of question). And she's clearly passed the curse on Danny!

I't a small miracle Everly didn't drown in that bathroom. But the fact that she changes places in every shot I see her in must mean that someone remembers about her once in a while, right?
Right?

Pippa is doing much too well. This cannot be. I'm getting doubly worried about her next pregnancy(ies?).


In other news, Heather might not have been Lonzo's clone after all. This is what a fem-Lonzo with darker skin looks like. I might have succeeded in creating the perfect faerie villain for the story I'm currently writing - she doesn't look that much like Heather though.

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

The femme-Lonzo faerie villain is gorgeous! Her nose and eyes look different from Heather's, but I think the chin and mouth are the same? I'm curious about your story now!

I think all T-pose jumping vampires in China were once Sim Nannies!

Everly got picked up from time to time, to be left in another spot. Her toddlerhood was significantly better, but as a child she's been in aspiration failure for several days straight. Watch this space, her suffering is coming!

By now I'm feeling proper sorry for Pippa. I hope there's no karma-boomerang for stuff you do to Sims.

Next time I'm bored, I'll check out The Magnus Archives. :)

I thing Pippa is safe. She has good survival instincts, but no maternal instincts so far, her existence won't endanger the general ISBI-ness of her surroundings. The fail level will balance itself out as soon as her kids grow more.

I'm basically writing the fantasy series I wanted to read but couldn't find xD
Right now it's mostly a mix of two writing collabs from my past: 1) a Shadowhunters-verse rpg that died because everyone had their own ideas where the main story should go (also some time travel happened), and 2) something even older, also with mutated humans fighting monsters but almost fully original, if you don't count cameos by musicians I liked; this one died because there was too little of a clear idea about where it all is going and who's behind that all.
And then I got stuck reworking characters to make some of them more unique and some less Mary Sue - what was fun in rpg, gets annoying in third person narration. And of course no one wanted to play a villain, so every bit of inspiration for them is welcome <3 Right now my best one is named Maurice Merideth and his family's trademark are small golem birds that are able to pass through all wards and magical barriers to deliver a message, as long as someone is fully on the same plane of existence.

I almost jumped up at your last sentence :D So far the only people I knew who would like the story (because yes, it all connects into a story), weren't really into podcasts.

You know something strange? Very often when I'm twisting and turning and just can't sleep, it actually helps to read or listen to something that scares me silly. Suddenly a warm bed with a duvet to pull up to my nose is SOOOO much more inviting. A podcast may be just what I need.

I like how you're recycling your old ideas into something new and exciting. :) A couple of years ago, I suddenly started remembering a lot of ancient characters and plot ideas, and they demanded a re-boot. So now I have lots of ideas, and no real clue how to herd them all into a coherent narrative.

Your villain and his little golem birds sound great, TBH. I've always wanted to be better at creating villains. Lonzo happened by accident, but he was so much fun to write.

You know what? WHen you think of the full history of human-Fair Folk relations, Lonzo makes even more sense! And he wouldn't have been considered a villain by any other elf.
(but knowing Lonzo, he would be proud to know he has a new "daughter" in another universe ready to follow in his footsteps)

He would have been giving the thumbs up from his grave, if the game hadn't mysteriously deleted it!

Everly, baby!!

[notta fish (from livejournal.com)]

Seeing the cat Harriet interact with baby Everly reminds me of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcpEnpitzHw) of a cat saving a toddler from falling down the stairs, partly because the delapidated poor family's house evokes the spirit of ISBI hell. Everly constantly on the floor in squalor seems like without the cat she'd be in trouble because the tall humans seem to have difficulties looking after her themselves. I know that the toddler in the video probably was only unsupervised for a short period of time (like for a potty break or to cook some food) because there was clearly a playpen that it had probably escaped from. But in that short period of time it's unsettling how close that child had come to death. In the sims there aren't many real dangers for a toddler like Everly, but neglect of toddlers in real life can easily lead to their death without guardian angels (or parental cats) watching out for them. So in short I really hope that Harriet or any of the cats look after little Everly dearly.
