Hiyaaaaaa'll! It's your Narrator typing to you again! So yeah, this generation has been the longest ever, at least for the Scheilers. Things have taken its time for them. This following update mainly takes place during a single weekend, but at that point the Gen-6'ers had been in Arenanueva for three weeks in game time, which is like... I don't even know, 20 years? in a Sim's life. So the previous two updates covered very long periods of the Scheilers lives, even if it didn't seen like it. I don't take pictures of every time they skill, eat or take care of their needs, and that's what they've been doing most of. So when you see a picture where it's dark, followed by five pictures from daylight and then another picture where it's night again, it looks like it was all one day but it was probably two or three.
This time stuff really starts happening fast, though.
It was getting cold in Arenanueva.
Butch: You're lucky you didn't dive in, Tory. Because the pool's frozen.
Tory: I'll stand in front of this white wall in my dark t-shirt and absorb rays of sun.
Ernest played with his aunt Randilynn.
Then a lot of people came home from work. Monty became that guy who tells people in the army to stay in bed when there's nothing to do.
Rilly became a resident. She didn't move into the hospital, though. It's just up in Marbella, so she can commute.
Look, I'll show you whereaboutish Arenanueva is. See how in the real world a town in that same area has been cancelled? Isn't that a bit of a weird coincidence, you think? O.O
Then Buffy started twisting by the pool.
I mean that literally.
'And then she was in puberty!
She rolled Popularity, and I just picked her T&Ts, because she's not Heir or anything.
She had a very happy upbringing! :D
Photon Qunder called Milly out on a date. :) Oh, yeah right... Two seconds after this picture, PQ started bawling because Aspiration failure. I didn't get a picture of it, but Milly just gave him the finger-guns like "When you're done crying I'll be waiting inside. Okay?"
By the time he'd collected himself it was dark and Friday was playing catch with Percy's the Sad Boy's dad. I hope they can recruit the family, so Percy doesn't have to be so sad all the time.
When Milly didn't laugh at his joke, his fraggle sanity couldn't take anymore.
Milly: Oh dear... I do say, are you quite alright?!
PQ: BwlbwlblbwbwlbwlbnlBWBLlwbLBWlbwLBWlbLBlwblllb!
PQ: HA HA HAAAA HAA HAAAAW HAWW HA HA HA BAWWWWWWWWWWWWW HAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW
Milly: Oh my. This is really not your day, is it?
Doktor Kopfgeschlagen: Guten Aften besorgter junger Mann. (I used Google translate.)
Milly: I see that you're having some technical difficulties. Allow me to wait over here and occupy myself while you recover your bearings.
She was such a good sport about it, wow..! I would've been out of there. And I'd probably had a friend tell the date that I'd moved to Canada, or something.
Herr Doktor K: Well, I can see that deine kleine Kartoffel is a little bisschen overwhelmed by all the Schmerzen of the world.
PQ: Dude, my brain is literally five gallon!
Herr the Doktor: Das ist a whole lot of suffering und Leiden!
Doktor K: Oh das Reh! This ist not gute.
PQ: It's worst!
Percy's Dad: Hello, my name's James. Are you a new possible reqruit as well?
Milly: I suppose you could phrase it that way, yes. My name's Millicent. I'm auditioning that chap over there to be my husband.
James: Is he passing??
Not everyone can have a rock solid relationship like Friday and Tippy. :-/ So if PQ needs to live out his life in a comfortably padded room and colour with crayons, and don't contribute his genome towards the furthering of the Community Goals, you know it's not his fault.
Look, you can sort of see him in the back there, if you look in front of Tippy's nose. If I was a really good writer I could probably have come up with some deep thing to say about the symbolism of these things happening simultaneously.
It wasn't fun to be Ernest either. :I
The Doc made PQ dance The Guten Tag Hopclop.
PQ decided to spend the rest of the date time playing chess with Milly, to at least improve their platonic relationshop. I don't know if Nettie was cheering for them, or if she thought James was hot.
Suddenly Ernest grew up. Boys are a bit slower than girls at that age, remember.
He grew up Scottish and felt really proud, because he knew very little about his family history, other than having a brother who was dead and another who made questionable life choices. BTW, the date stunk. :(
Ernest rolled Pleasure, like his Dad, and I thought he should go for someone who has useful skills. He probably won't get married, but whatevz.
Aww, both of the kids had such great childhoods!
James: I disapprove of your son's behaviour, and don't think he should be around Percy who's very sensitive.
James: Goodbye for now. I'm going home to take loving care of my family.
Oh gosh, poooooor PQ!
Brazen Modesty: I did some research and there's a ship leaving for Brazil tomorrow night if you want to disappear off the surface of the earth. It should be in Rio in a week or so, and you can probably get a flight to LAX from there.
PQ: I'm not going home, OMGOSH! It's gotta be somewhere where no one knows who I am! I could disappear into the Amazonas, but what if that's where my twin brother (Fydo Swappo) and cousin (Day Seven) are on their secret expedition?
Monty had anger problems, and blamed Butch for his lack of education.
Busch cried sadly, because it looked like the whole Community Vision was falling apart around him. It reminded him of the night Moriarty died. But he was prompted to Village Elder now, and he had executive powers so he had the authority to make an unpoopular decision.
He forced all the werewolves to cure. They were all obsessed with their Lycantropy, and never rolled wants for anything but seeing wolves, biting people and howling. Those wants didn't give them enough points to stay green. And their howling was slowly driving Tory bonkers too. Until things were stabilised again, people would just have to be human. :-/
The twins still hung out and cheered each other up before boring days at schoooool.
Cat picture timee! Oh wait, we can't see his cute face!
Thar!
Derpy was looking pretty and looking for a bed.
Perri: I bet it's The Law's fault that my awesome shredded e-neillan jeans with fishnets were removed in the middle of the night!
Yeah, that was an Executive Order to try to reduce magenta emmissions. Sorry about that. Several people lost part of their original outfits.
The pumpkins were thriving in the colder climate of autumn.
Derpy wouldn't sleep in the cat beds no matter how much Tory cleaned them, so Holly had an idea.
Derpy and Teefs needed their own bedroom, with a high-comfort double bed. And like any good pet-parent would do, Tory spent some communal money.
Maybe Derpy will find it? Next summer?
Butch was worried about the day his kids would be infected with the sour apple. He didn't want to see it come to pass.
Awww, good job Modz!
Modesty and Wakerilda are also very good friends now. They work together at the hospital. It's okay to have two best friends. I've got Savanna and Trixie, Savanna has me and Nicole, and Trixie has me and a kid called Justine who I barely know.
No good deed goes unpunished if you're Monty, I think. >:(
PQ refused to grass on a mermaid and have her put in Sea World, so he got promoted because his boss was discredited as a Flat Earther. Oh and he inherited Ted as a coworker.
My Dad has a friend who's a Flat Earther. He comes over with lots of maps, plans and a PowerPoint projector and tries to make Dad "see the light." Dad just humors him because they've been friends since elementary. Mom has a FaceBook friend in Colorado who claims to have a princess from Atlantis talking to her through the koi pond in her garden.
Peace and Love in the Community. <3
Holly got a promotuin, but her Aspo was really low, so she needed an intervention.
Don't be fooled by Tory's brave act. He wasn't happy either.
Escape was in order! Tory didn't go, it was just Holly and Buffy & Ernest.
Aylatani: I can tell you're one of my latest decendents! Tell me honestly, since we're family, does my blouse look a little dirty yellow? I feel like it didn't look like that in the (body)shop, and I haven't had it long enough to wash it yet so it hasn't been in with a blue sock.
Holly: It does a little. I'd take it back.
Aylatani: Thank you so much for your support!
Oh, here's Django Fargone!
Holly: Do you want to come with us on a ghost walk tonight?
Aylatani: No, thanks. Vengeful ghosts are not something I want to mess with. The ghost of my late husband killed my later husband. That was before I married Edgar.
Look, here's Jetsam Gordon too. :D
Then Holly met Shane, who had escaped from the authorities with AntiSO.
Holly: I see that you're conventionally attractive, but you're a wanted fugitive which means you're not socially desirable. And I'm desperate.
Shane: I live just to be socially undesirable.
Bibijimjim really likes the camp. :) We should check in on her and Jimbi, and see how her romance with Istvan is getting on.
In the pancake hut was Helmut Hanseldorff from Dusseldorf, He didn't understand the significance of the flower crown, but he wanted to honour the local customs.
Duffy: You need to start your own community of Peace, Love and Acceptance. Then you'll be worthy of wearing it.
Helmut: I will do that!
Ernest thought maybe he should have just worn a kilt, after he met strong Scottish warrior Brendan. But Randy London who had grown up to be a cop said he better wear underpants.
At the cemetary Monala was up to no good. :(
Holly: I hope we won't scream if one of the ghosts come to say hi.
Notice they have lights now? :D The city council fixed it.
Istvan was a paranormal fan, because he felt something speak to him about love beyond alternate dimentions.
Ernest: My hair still glows in the dark!
It only does that in the cemetary! :O I wonder if it's a will-o-wisp that nests in it.
Holly: ZOMG BANNED from the Community.
Istvan: Don't take it so badly. Diego is probably in the closet and doesn't like girl-faces.
Tynice was one of the people who lost their clothes to a ban on Marvellous Designer brands, but I think she still has her dress in the closet at home. And the kids thought she was really cool anyway.
There was no Moriarty-sightings that night either, but his brother with an identical personality was spotted at the pancake shack.
Holly: I'M DESPERATE!
That won't happen, though. BTW, the guy who's talking about ghosts, I said his name was Dennis Chase. It's actually Denny. Rylee and Teagan Chase are his sisters.
Henway: We're not rednecks, Mkay?
Henway: Yuo've got a tarantula on your dress, in camouflage!
Spirella: WUT WHERE??!
Henway: PSIKE!
Henway's gonna be single for a while.
Buffy met her mythological older brother, finally.
Holly thought Pony Boy was rather hot. I mean, he's tan and fit.
Actually, she was just desperate again.
Hey, there's that guy again. He should totally marry into Generation 9!
Holly: Have I mentioned I'm desperate yet?
OH NO! That's Sinjin Couderp, who's socially desirable and terrified of committment! He once married Elyz Magpie and dumped her at the altar. Then he failed at everything for his entire life. And he had lots of miserable kids who failed their whole lives. But yeah... desperate.
Holly: Oooooh La La!
Poby Noy: I'll be off then.
OH MY GOSH?!?!?!?!?!
Holly: Go away Uncle Adolf!
So I guess it's Holly and Sinjin, then. He's a cook of some sort, so he'll probably come home with Nettie sometimes.
Lonzo: Nothing you've heard about me is true.
Ernest: Dude I haven't heard about you.
Lonzo: OK, good. I'm Lonzo. Now you have.
The weather man was on sick leave because he'd developed a funky arm from all the pointing.
Weather Man: Ommygosh Sinkin don't doooo it, you're gonna be MARRIED! Ruuuuuuuun!
The Weather Man was a MGTOW.
Dancing in the rain was very romantic. <3
Aylatanbi: I'm so happy for you, kid!
If it wasn't slinkin' Sinjin that Holly was dating, this would be almost as nice as Starling's engagement.
Holly decided to get engaged in the sunset.
OUCH, big mistake! Darkness symbolically descended upon her as she realised.
Buffy worked on recruiting Milly, so maybe she'd give PQ another chance.
Aylatani was telling her Rags-to-Riches story. I wonder how she'd like to live in TS4. Mom said maybe I can get it if I find it realllly cheap somewhere. But I'm not allowed to start a Youtube channel for Let's Plays of it. There's apparently a lot less suffering in TS4.
Maybe I wouldn't like it as much? And I wouldn't have room for TS3 on my computer if I got the EPs I kind of want.
You'd think Holly hated Sinjin by now, but their date was still going on and it wasn't even classified as bad!?!
You know what? They're perfect for each other. Holly can keep dating and smooching him from time to time. They don't need to put a ring on it and have kids. Holly's a Romance Sim anyway.
Andrea: Your life is looking exponentially better!
Sure, Teagan seems cool.
It just ~*GalaxyBrain*~ occurred to me that Ted kinda reminds me of Anderson from Sherlock! SEE?
Nettie: I'm inspired to have more babies.
Ted: No.
There was a Saturday party with fried chicken, and everyone was daring to hope that happiness would start reigning again soon.
Friendships were blooming! :D
Buffy: Maybe malicious aliens made Polybius?
Paloma: Wow, I never thought of that! We must tell your grandparents.
Buffy: Should we tell Carlos too?
Paloma: He probably knows and can't say anything.
Buffy was low-key jealous of the mural in the cat room. I am too.
Yuzzzzz promotions! :D
I'm so sad Dad said no to getting a Mary-go-Round on eBay. :( We have a huge field behind the house that's ours to do as we please with, and it's just sitting there being a field. But Dad said the cheap ones aren't safe, and the safe ones aren't cheap, and we're so old now we'd grow out of having fun with it in a year or so anyway. (He doesn't notice that the year repeats.) I said that Jolene or Donovan could be having children soon, and he said "I surely hope not for another ten years, yet!" And that was the end of the discussion.
Friday wanted to promote living outside as much as possible, so he decided that if someone wanted to watch TV they'd have to do that outside too. That's how his family's used to doing it anyway, LOL! Poor Aylatani and Liranda, though.
There's a glass roof above the livingroom, which lets sun in and keeps rain and hail out.
The Dead Match Maker must have been impressed by their will to change, because she gave them a magical lamp.
"Carlotta Bateman" just sounds like a very good name for an undead lady, I think.
Friday: It's unfortunate that we had to impose an Anti-Lycan ordinance. It's a harmless choice of lifestyle. But in a Community we need to take conflicts of interest seriously, and it had a very negetative effect on your collective wellbeing.
Tippy was very proud of her youngest grandchildren, and often thought about how sad it was that they only existed because their brother had died so tragically. :(
Time for another little vacation!
Modesty met Haynes the Pony Boy in the sad café. (In the present day the beach has been restored to its former glory, but this is about twelve years ago in their timeline.)
She LIKED him. And since her cousin didn't really, there was no harm in testing the waters.
Rilly wasn't too concerned with matters of the
Modz engaged Haynes in a conversation about how terrible it would be if Polybius had a console release. Dora Ottomas watched them idly, while wondering about whether to add or subtract grandchilren.
Modz: Modesty is actually my middle name. My first name is Brazen.
Haynes: I think it fits you. My middle name is Patrick.
Brazen Modesty was feeling confident!
Look at her eyes in profile! Her Northern Mountain Troll ancestors developed prehensile eye-stalks with very powerful optical nerves, in order to better navigate their dimly lit cave systems. At least that's what Anne told me.
Spiruella: I'm cooking breakfast.
Ethel: Oh good, I'm starving!
Spirella: Uh, you wanna wait for a new batch, or are you actually hungry enough to eat these?
Modesty to the rescue! :D
She attempted to recruit Spirella, because she seemed to be a very colourful person. Maybe even one of the boys would like her that way.
Dora joined them for a publicity photo, LUL!
It was kind of cold, but Rilly's very advanced brain allowed her to adjust her body temperature.
OMGOSH how good does she look with a tan?????? And that sunset gradient hair... <3 I'm dying my hair like that, and Mom can say whatever she wants! She doesn't like it when I dye my hair "crazy" colours, because she's scared I'm in the process of turning into someone like Tameron. Yeah, no. That'll never happen. I'm my own unique person who don't have to stick to one single box of stereotypes!
Swimming in really cold water is kind of a rite of passage around where I live. We have to starte a bit earlier for every year we get older. When you're 15 (I'm currently 14 again!) the date is April first. So yeah, we sneaked up to a lake and had a dip. :D Anne's gang used to swim in the ocean, though. One of her cousins is an all-year bather! D:
Buffy: I wish stuff was more like in the 90s, so we'd have bands like REM.
Yeah. :-/
Rilly didn't want a reputation for being a wimp!
Haynes thought Modesty was hotter than a cuppa joe, and sweeter than hazelnut syrup.
She thought his lame pick-up line was awkward and cute.
And so they were in WUW! :D
She kissed his nose, because she thought that would probably be a modest first kiss.
Rilly had emerged from the cold salty waves, and was catching up with cousin Django.
Ethel: This is like a reality show!
Denny: Yeh, but they're not asshats. I like drama, so I only watch shows like that to see horrible people suffer.
I'm guessing Brazen Modesty never thought she'd live up to her first name like this!
Spirulla: I got it right this time. :)
Rilly: Cool, I'm hungry now!
Studs: Me too. And this beach needs an upgrade!
Spirella: I brought you datering. It's catering for dates, get it?
Haynes: Oh nice! My name's Haynes. Get it? Hay-nes. Because I'm a pony.
Yeah, I was a bit mean when I named him, I guess?
Modesty was very Brazen that night! :D
I saw this guy and I was like "Why is there a human in there?? That doesn't belong!" Maybe I'm so used to Scheilers now that regular people Sims just look weird and out of place?
Modesty: Haynes Patrick Finnegan, please be my husband!?
An American tourist stared in disapproval, because she was just divorced.
ZOMGOSH SALAMANDRA, CLOSE THE DOOR! Good for Modz and Haynes they didn't notice, so their happy memory didn't have a sullied footnote of *plip-plop* for posterity. >:(
Ilvany arrived just in time to see the exchange of wows.
Modesty: Nifty, we have three witnesses!
Salamandra: Yeah, but I dunno if Ilvany counts since she missed the first part.
Anyway! Ilvany's been kind of just left to obscurity since she grew up. I figured she deserved some happiness too, so she got flirting with that guy who I think is called Manuel.
CLOSE THE DOOR, ELYS!
Modesty: It's time we went home, and introduced you to my family and Community.
Rilly and the kids slept through all the romantic action, but then again Modz had enough spectators as it was. And sleeping Scheilers don't get into trouble with lighting bolts and Uncle Adolf.
I just had to snap a picture of Buffy, because I love her! She looked so sleepy and happy.
Modz was knackered, but Haynes wasn't tired enough to sleep yet. He started getting to know Tory over some brain-building chess.
And then he impressed(?) Nettie with a piano piece.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That's all for now peeps! Next time it will be Generation 7.1! Yeah, that's right. Modz has a baby! And someone else also gets pregnant, so watch this space and suddenly you'll see!
Narrator ouuuuuuuuuuuuutttt! :D
