The Scheiler Uglacy - Generation 7.6!

[tigeranne]

Hii, it's Raelynn here. Y'all's narrator. :D So a little confession here... I don't actually have enough pictures for this update at the time I'm starting writing. (Monday afternoon.) Soooo I'm going to have to play the Villagers some more to get like 40 more pictures. That's why I don't have a clue when you guys will even be reading this! Some of this update takes place before the next one, which will be The Branch, and some after. Well, in gameplay. In the story it happens simultaneously, so. But if you notice Anachronisms in defaults and stuff, that's why.



Welp. Let's get started then. A quick summary of last time: Ernest took Summer, Zandie and Tex Toro on a little vacation. Then there was a marvellous day in the Community. Summer and Misty both grew up to the next stage, and Brazen Modesty got her LTW! This update starts on the same night.


The Villagers all gathered for Elmira Bedina's Face Reveal Party. I think she was one of those one-day babies. :)

Yawny Holly thought Butch was hot, SIGH! I've forgotten to make him her uncle. Butch thought Nettie was the hottest person there. He always does. Usually.


Elmira was ready to learn skillz!


Suddenly they all started glowing ominously magenta, and gathered around the initiate in concentric circles while gliding around in stiff T-poses! D:

And that was about the time I finally figured out how to fix the texture memory properly.


Time Anomaly! :D The creepy magenta thing hadn't happened in this timeline.


Mira's original face made her look like a little girl-clone of Tory. (I was going to be nice and keep her like that, so it would be one less candidate for MK'la and sammyfrog to consider. But then I couldn't help myself. You'll see!)


Look at the Besties picking melons! :) They're so cute in their complementing popsicle outfits. I know Modesty's sweater-top looks really hot to be wearing in summer in Spain, but it's actually really lightweight fabric and allows for airflow.


Geri started testing Tippy's patience, kind of like her older sister had done some decades before. Yeah, Geri needs reeducation like Nettie did. :( Monty was tired of being the responsible one, and thought someone else could cook now.

Don't hang out in a herbal garden this way in reality. You'll step on sprouts.


Monty x Rhonda? I dunno. She'd be better suited as a GF or wife for Henway.


Holly started questioning if her top really went with her skirt. Then she got her arm trapped in the windowsill, and had to be rescues. V embarrassing.


Next morning Mira was starving and begged Tory for a bottle. He went into the kitchen to get her one, but this was what he picked from the fridge! Some sort of cereal bars with pineapple.

Tory: Babies need proteins and fiber!


Anyway, Nettie was available to cook a bottle of Smart Milk, because she was the only PermaPlat at home. See those PJs? Remember those.


Bronwyn taught Mira potty skill and did walk training.


Look at Holly's elixir face! >8D

THEN I went to save the progress, and.... THE GAME CRASHED!!!!!!!!!! And that was THE FINAL STRAW! I swalloed all of my pride and went begging for help on Reddit. (r/sims2help) Since then there hasn't been any magenta, but let's not jinx it!


So the Village had another time anomaly, and it was that same night once again. People were having supper in the patio restaurant.


The children were recovering from homework, and someone had kindly fed Monty.


Butch channeled his closet Family Sim in the front yard.


Misty Stonehouse: WHOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!


Buffy bonded with her Grandma over a game of catch. It's one of Tippy's favorite activities. x)

Yeah, that house with the horse sculpture is still empty. But the family who owns it are coming! I hope! Warning: They're Edgar's snobby relatives! :O


OH NO! RIP the beautiful delphiniums that used to be in that spot! And someone dumped a lot of trash in their memory! D: Darn, they were so carefully placed with snapObjects false, to stop them from poking through the walls!


Person of Interest: Teefz Scheiler. Observed near the scene of the crime. Has the means (claws) and motive (need to scratch). Looks guilty as sin.

Verdict: Innocent.


Derpy: *surveys empire*


And we ccan't forget Oliver! Here he is, looking cute.


All the gardening got Monty's fur out of order.


Thanks to the stupid time anomaly, poor Elmira hadn't learned to walk after all. :C Bronwyn was going to stay home with her, because she's got a lot of vacation days, but she got kidnapped by her carpool. Fortunately it was Aunt Holly's day off, so she filled in.


I hope Holly will get to have a kid or two of her one, some day. She just needs the right man first, and spoiler: That isn't Sinjin, because he's got commitment issues.

Right here I skipped a chance card that got Ernest promoted to waiter.


Look at how proud Holly is! <3


Pysion came over to visit. I think this is the first time you see his teen make-over!


This was also the first time anyone had seen Remington smile. He usually looks ready to kill a sod.


Geri was going for a career in politics, because she's always been a very socially interested person. So she's very different from Nettie, who mostly just cares about living her best life and let everyone else do them. Friday was teaching Geri about how campaign management shouldn't involve bomb threats and envelopes full of baking powder.


Summer and Pyson are still good friends. It reminds me of their grandparents Aspen and Bingo, how they were before college. Their lost friendship is Friday's Second Biggest Sorrow.

But then I noticed that Pyson's pants looked like burlap. I was so sure they were jeans, but now I can't unsee the burlap texture. :O No offense at all to the CC creator who made them! It's not your fault that I've got sensory issues and can't even think about burlap and twine without itching.

I think it all started when I was 4 or 5, when my Grandma in Oklahoma knitted sweaters for Toni and me from some really old polyester yarn she'd gotten from a garage sale. They were so prickly and awful! I had to wear a long-sleeved shirt underneath, but those bastard little fibers poked right through it and stabbed my skin hundreds of times. And the neck trim freaking chafed! Whenever I had to wear it, I would just stand still as much as possible so I wouldn't feel all the tiny needles stabbing me in new places. We had to wear them whenever our aunt was coming over. She's Dad's sister, who moved here because she married Dad's friend. She tells Grandma everything, even the stuff Dad tells her not to because it'll make Grandma upset. Sometime I think she likes to upset Grandma, because it makes her feel important in some sick and wrong way. O_o

I could never understand how something so stabby and icky could come from soft, cuddly sheep fur. It wasn't until a couple of years ago I found out that it doesn't, and that real wool doesn't cut you (unless you drag it between your fingers really fast). So buy real stuff for your kids. Wool stays warm even if it gets wet, polyester doesn't!


This is Mira's real face! It looks so funny, you'll see more of her later.


Summer's just so cute. :D


Yeah, I don't really care. Except for QQ, of course. And Phil, but he'll be around.


Brazen Modesty is Zandie's favourite parent. :D

Monty: I feel like Lonzo is here.


Misty: OH NO BELLYFLOP!


Their pool is weird. It's got another surface below the water. O,o Yeah, I dunno either.


Well look who showed up for supper! Lorena and Alexandra were visiting too. :)

Lorena: Are you a businessman?

Lonzo: No, I'm a medical professional, and nothing you've heard of me is true.


Poor Holly! Oh, yeah, that's her bedroom. I don't think you've ever seen it before.


P R E G N A N T


Bronwyn's a cat person. :D If you're a pregnant woman, and you have cats, you need to wash your hands after you've played with them. And don't let them kiss you on the face while you've got a baby onboard. Apart from that you can still love your cats as much as ever, and teach your baby to love them as well (when they're born). Don't try any of the advice on this blog without having consulted a licensed medical proffessional first. And not Lonzo.


Matthias Mulder (not from the FBI): Gunsen Roses have a song called Rocket Queen and it's dirty.

Nettie: That was the one they were playing in Saint Louis in 1991, when Axl attacked the audience. My sister has the T-shirt from that tour.


It doesn't take much to give Butch and Nettie naughty ideas!


LOOK AT MIRA! :D

Oh yeah, right... You can't really see her.


Thar! She never skilled much, because she spent most of her young years following people around everywhere. :O


Misty avoided the boys at breakfast, because they had just developed a morbid fascination with worms and larva. It was all they talked about.

Toni and Nico had that phase too. x(


Then Misty had homeschool, so she could keep up with her work.


She still had to go to school later. D: Bronwyn drove her there, and also brought Artsy Mack, who had to cure his ennui before he could face another day of Señora Feodora.


Rilly came for a visit. :D


Mira loved getting all the attention, when the bigger kids were suffering in match class.

OH NO! Incoming chance cards! But these are important to the plot, so we gotta do them!


There was another debate about the weather control devices, and Tippy remembered from Friday's experience that it was better to keep them legal.


BUT THE TIMES HAD CHANGED! Oh no, this had to be the work of the Anti Vegetary Movement! :'(

It's hard to be the law.


On the other hand, now Tippy was a free person once more, and could pursue new dreams. :)


This is Mira following someone around.




And this is Vilandra being a cat person! :D


Modz and Haynes were still at work when Mack came home with his first A+, so he showed it to Cool Uncle Monty instead.


Monty was v proud! He should totally have kids with someone some day, too. But it'll have to be in another 50 years in Arenanueva. I think all the Gen 6 and 7 adults who stay will have to build homes outside of the village, so there will be room for Gen 8 and 9.

Modz and Holly will stay together, and I think Monty will go with Tory. All the cats would have to go with them too, because Tory and Monty are their Dads. The Village will adopt more!


Tex had done well too! His Paw Patrol shirt inspired him to be his best self.


He ran around the back of the Village....


...and showed his report card to the dresser. O_O Through the wall and everything.


Bronwyn: It sounds like Tex is very happy and loud outside. I dreamt the dresser was talking, it must be pregnancy brain. Do we have any broccoli & blackberry ice cream?


Oh, here's Skip Squeemril, and he really can't dress himself. (Ooops, new defaults!) He had to give up his lovely pink skirt, because it was actually Storm's and she got SOOOOOO MAAAAAAD when she caught him wearing it. :C She can completely beat him up, because she's twelve and he's seven.


I think Vilandra's really pretty. :D


This is Dino Moony. He's Skip's twin brother, and he's usually hovering a bit in the background. So in case you've forgotten him, now you remembner.


I know it feels like they were only born last week, but they need to grow up now. :-/ We don't want our babies to leave the nest, but it would be such a sad life for them to never learn to fly.


Summer would get a lot of cred for being friends with someone as dangerous as Vilandra, and having the guts to beat her at Rock Paper Scissors!




A homework party is like a communist party. No fun allowed. :(

Communists: That joke was offensive!


Summer did homework outside, because there were only four chairs at the desks.


The adults love the water sprinklers! It kind of makes me miss Sims 3, because all my Sims were addicted to bathing in the garden sprinklers. One time I played my family as Sims, and Nico got abducted by aliens. Lemme see if I can find the pictures.






Of course he got pregnant!


This is his giving-birth face. His work outfit is hideous!




This is "his son," Dipper.

And now back to what you're all here for!


Third trimester!


Zandie: You can't give up before you're finished. That's not what Paw Patrol would do!

Tex Toro: :C


Modesty: Garrrr! Beef cravings!


Skip stayed until like midnight or something. PQ and Milly have so many kids they can't keep their eyes on all of them!


Oh, and it was actually just Milly on her own that night, because here's PQ over to visit. Maybe Rilly was home too, IDK.


Nettie started teaching her sister how to play chess, so she could grow her brain out and rise beyond her circumstances.


Haynes: UUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrr....


Here lies Haynes. :-/


This is Zandie's Morning Face. x( Except it was still night, because she fell asleep too early. I've done that!


Haynes was laughing in dillerium. It made PQ upset to look at.


Geri's intellect was blossoming. :D


And Friday became extortionally slim.

This is the point where I had to play for more pictures, so it happens AFTER the next update.


Geri felt the need to obedience train her brother-in-law. I don't know what he did either.


Bronwyn: WHEEEE!


Bronwyn: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Artsy Mack: Aunt Bronwyn, is that really safe?

Bronwyn: Yeah, don't worry. We're horses, remember!

Umm... Can y'all handle a few text screens. We have some promotions here.


:)


Friday: I'll bring our message to MARS!


Oh, and Tippy got into Politics, and she works with Most Wanted Cinnamoon Spooner!


Friday: HAI DEREX IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU! :D


Tawny Holly was barking up the walls in boredom, and wanted to get away for a few days. The kids came along, but Summer had to promise she'd look after them.


They went to the campgrounds. It's basically the only place in town where something's happening.


Holly had certain motivations. :O


Yeah, not him.


Zandie and Mack definitely need Popularity as one of their Aspirations.


Holly thought there were a lot of dorks in the disco.


Flashback! I'll stop it with the TS3 pictures now!


Tex Toro saw through the window that the cool older kids were having fun.


He wanted to join in. The DJ was playing lots of 80s pop, like Cindy Lauper, Madonna, The Bangles and Yazoo. It made him want to be a cool teenager in another time, living in a bright, vibrant world.


Oh no, it was Babette Weatherly, the Atrociously Evil Witch. She was always there to ruin everyone's fun with roaches and hail!






Holly played footie with her uncle Jetsam. She was better at it. :D


Summer was still dreaming about playing college basketball. Her shirt is so cute! It shows a black cat surrounded by his ghost friends, who are invisible to anyone else.




They have a playground at home too, but it was a lot more fun to play without adult supervision. It made them feel edgy and free. :)


Misty: I can see Isla Tropicana from here!


Mack: The monkey bars match my pants. :D I'm camouflaged!


Misty: I'm in super-hero training!


Misty looks a bit grumpy and sinister, but she's usually very happy. Don't judge a dog by it's cover.


Tex Toro: I challenge you to a stare contest!

Mack: I accept.

Tex: *stare*

Mack: *stare*

Tex: *STARE*

Mack: *STARE*


Two hours later...

Misty: I wanna play too!


Mack lost. :Y

Misty: OK Tex, now it's you versus me.

Tex: That's not fair, you just climbed up!


Misty: I WON!

Tex: You so freaking didn't!

Misty: OWW! Stop hitting my knee with your face! It hurts!


Tex: Rematch!


The Good Witch Susannah Kay explained to Holly that they still couldn't find someone who wanted to tailor a new uniform for witches over 60, so now they were going to go back to the old-fashioned capes they used to wear. Holly thought that was very sad. We'll never make real progress if it's all just about finding someone to discriminate. :-/


Misty: I win again!

Tex: That's not fair! You can still feel your arms. >:(


Summer: I may have a big nose, but I've got amazing pores!

She means they're tiny, and never fill up with gunk.


Artsy Mack suggested that Holly could become a Good Witch and fight for equality with her fabulous powers.


I hope Zandie and Summer never stop being best friends!


Bibijimjim: Wow, what happened here?!?!

They were at San Miguel Cemetery for a ghost spotting night, but something had changed.


Where there had just been an empty, flat stretch of sand, it was now extensively landscaped and full of old graves.


Moriarty's resting spot was no longer in the back right-hand corner, but up on a terrace.


In the corner where he and Erika the Gardener laid previously, there was a huge mausoleum for an unknown family.


Erika was now on the other side of the lot, under a tree.


Large statues of Angels and guardians kept watch everywhere.


Misty: WOOOOW! Where did all the old tombstones come from?

Summer: It must be the Mandela Effect! We better go in and explore.


The news about the cemetary anomaly (as local media called it) spread fast, and a lot of people came to look.


Rumor Kreatura: This is exactly the kind of thing I've always dreamed about witnessing! Oh, hai Bibi!


Chandler was mad.

Chandler: U put soap in de fountain, didn'ya? U wanna go to El Slammadoor, and 'affta make pot-'olders dat dun 'ave any room for pot? Or spend Ur days spinnin great big pots to store dead children in 'til Ur back breaks?

Bibi: Are you demented? I just got here at the same time as you!


Chandler: Crimnuls return to da site of da crime, innit?

Bibi: Well then, maybe you did it?

Misty thought this was really cool.


Vilandra: Wow, it's true! I thought Sophie was just having me on!

Salamandra: Look at how old these graves are! This one's from 1832. And they were never here before!

Hank: You don't think someone just moved them here from somewhere else? They do that in the US all the time, but people tell me in Europe it hardly ever happens.

Salamandra: Yeah, because in Europe we use wooden coffins that disintegrate, so there's nothing left to move after 100 years. No way these just got here. The soil hasn't been disturbed around them for decades!


Chandler: Oiiiiiii! Dat's disrespecful innit!?


Amin Sims thought Holly was very cute.


Artsy Mack met evil Babette, and asked her if witches listened to heavy metal or to opera.

Babette: We listen to symphonic metal, which is kind of like metal opera. And some witches like country music and jazz and stuff. But I like Taylor Swift, especially the Starbucks song.


The children bonded over their shared experience of the inexplicable and extraordinary.


Chandler: Ur beein' disrizpeckful to da peeple 'oo died from tragic old-time causes!


Holly thought it was best to get the kids away before Chandler got on all of their case, and so they couldn't hear what Harry might have to say about the Grey Lady of Sim City's uh... sculpting.


They went back to the camp to let the kids sleep, and Holly kicked loose and danced.


Holly: The stars are so pretty tonight!


Summer stayed up all night too. She danced to All Through the Night by Cindy Lauper, and imagined that she was a city teenager in a world lost to time and changes.


What on earth was going on at the neighbouring lot????


While Summer and Holly slept, the kids had fun competing in how many dirty dishes they could wash.


Mack: COUSIN-HUG!

Misty: BOY-COOTIES!


Misty: Clouds are made from all the cotton balls teenagers use to wipe their make-up. They blow away in the wind and get caught in the atmosphere. It's an important source of pollution of the skies, that strangle many birds every day.

Tex: That's balloony. Who told you that?

Misty: This girl on YouTube. She knows everything!

Mack: It's true!


Mack investigated the disco, to see if there were teenagers there he could enlighten.

Adrian: Sorry, Vincent! I didn't mean to step on your head.


Adrian: Not that any damage could be done.


We know. :C


Buffy: What are you wearing?

Bronwyn: I don't know, I just woke up in it! Now I'm pregnant and barefoot!


A lot of things were mysteriously changing, but Friday and Tippy's love was constant!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That's all for tonight peeps! Have a lovely Sunday and eat ice cream! Narrator outttttt! :D
