tigeranneWarning: This entry contains a right nasty character, who manages to be autonomously creepy. It doesn't help that I also write him like the nasty piece I see him as.
Melody... no. This is starting to resemble Ryan. And that's horrible.
Ulric: Tay, why are you sitting with Paddy? It's me you're coming home with.
Tay: Can't I come home with both of you? It's the same house.
Tay stays over with the Piglets a lot, sometimes two nights in a row. She looks awfully cute, sleeping like that. I keep forgetting that she's actually Twinbrook's often-murdered child mutant, who is a boy.
Chase: What is your essay about, Everett?
Everett: Recycling of energy-sources. It's pretty important to know about, I guess, but it's really boring. I'm about to fall asleep. Yours?
Chase: I'm writing about my Dad's theory, that there's a connection between that strange aurora cloud we see in the sky some nights, and the wild horses gathering around the ponds. He thinks they're waiting for something.
Everett: That sounds cool! I actually wanted to write about my false memories, but Mr. Cleggenbaum said it was inappropriate.
Chase: That's really rude of him. How do you know they're false, though?
Everett: Because I clearly remember being a pig?
Paddy: Yeah, me too!
Chase: Oh.
When the girl who doesn't go to school is helping you do your homework, you know you're failing your classes.
Outside of the book-shop is one of the most popular places to hang out in Twinbrook. Among others, here are Wilma, Dolores, Beverly Castor (yellow and green dress), the Curious-kids and their dad, and Juan Darer.
Shane Hathaway: Goths are not scary. They're some of the nicest and sweetest people I've ever met, that's why I've started to identify with their culture. They accept that I still need my teddy, so I don't get nightmares.
Everett: I love you, cousin!
Wilma: I love you too, cousin!
Igor is hanging around a lot more now that he's a resident. I gender-flipped the clones of Paddy and Ulric. That's Ebelyn, girl-Paddy, in the pink dress.
Lolly Racket: I'm huuuuuuungry! D:
Hi there, Annie!
Jeff: B-but.. I don't want this place to become popular!
This is the first and only time I've seen anyone use the game room I made at The Red Rendez-Vous. It was Helena who made the maiden voyage up the stairs. Maybe I had installed an elevator instead, people would use it more?
Here is Ebelyn. There is a story behind her name, but that's better not told.
Girl-Ulric is called Rhiannon. I don't know why the light makes her hair look grey. It's blonde, same as Ulric's.
The two little girls came to see Abigail almost every night, when they should be in bed. They must really love her, since she's the only parent-figure they have, being ex-piglets. It was just a little... sad.
Helena: I emerged from the misty reeds, like a very beautiful ghostly elf-princess. My tight, black leather dress was clinging to my skinny body, making me look very emaciated and graceful. It had lots of lacing down the back, which I can tie myself because I'm so skinny. :D I also wore high, black leather boots.
Helena: I got on my Harley, and drove away from the depressing pit of DOOOOOM. It was a gift from my secret lover, who I can't talk about because of his safety, since he's a hidden warrior. I looked very sexy driving down the forsaken road in the morning mists.
Helena: The wind was playing with my long, raven-black hair, which trailed behind me like a Unicorn's mane. I dreaded meeting my preppy parentals and poser sister, who were going to tie me to a chair, and ask me where I had been all night, and waterboard me and make me do the laundry. But I'm very brave, so I just laughed spitefully and looked beautiful.
When your dad - who is from the Middle Ages - helps you do your homework, you know you're failing your classes.
And the good news is that Paddy seems to have found a friend who shares his interests.
Frank is in all the houses my Sims visit! I mean, I know he's an investigator, but he's showing up everywhere.
Minion, Melody's Balinese cat. She was feeling lonely a lot, so I got her a friend.
Meet Pookie. I love his fur pattern. :) Unfortunately, he made one too many pets for the household. The game will only generate 8 icons. So, in order to select him and see his motives, I had to sell one of the pigs. Bye-bye, Porky.
Andrew: Bwaahahahaa! She's actually wearing undies! How immature is that?
I put him in all the hoods. Bad idea?
But what's the fun in Sims when there is no drama?
I can't believe he won!
Buck: OWWWWWW!
Andrew: Oh go cry to your mommy. Or to your girlfriend. Unless they're the same person, of course.
Buck: I hate you!
Andrew: Hellooo... Did your daddy tell you that you had your bunny for dinner, yesterday?
Little girl: D: D: D: I don't have a bunny!
Andrew: Not anymore.
Andrew: ...this long, in the bath-tub.
D: D: D: D: D:
Erica, no.
Amy: That guy is really creepy!
Stannis: Yes indeed! What was he talking to the little girl about?
Erica: Something about finding a snake in the bathroom, I think.
Stannis: Just... don't talk to him, okay?
It just needs to be said that Andrew's next two speech-bubbles, while talking to the little girl, were of diamonds and a film reel. MinghamSmith isn't the only one whose Sims can frighten them sometimes!
Chase: I love fishing. One day I'd like to make a documentary about it. You know, camping out in the forest for a month, recording all the dramatic wildlife encounters and the miracles of nature.
Andrew: Really? Oh, in that case: Blah blah pesticides blah blah blah exploitation blah BLAH parasites bladdi-blah blah sharks never sleep blah blah blaaaaaahhhh...
Chase: That's not correct. Sharks actually do...zzzZZZZ!
Andrew: Blah-hahaha-haaa! Look at her head being all smashed into the pavement!
Don't worry, Chase. I'm sure he's going to be beaten up again soon.
EJ had been a human long enough to start developing an interest in kissing another member of the species. I'm not sure why, but my choice fell on the newly made-over Lolly Racket. All TS3-Sims seem to like each other no matter what they look like, so you can pretty much just choose a romantic interest for them.
Both of them have the Hopeless Romantic trait, which made them extra suitable for each other.
This wasn't a real date. They were just complaining of hunger, so I sent them off to grab a bite.
Lolly: By the way... It's Lola. I'm not 5 years old anymore.
EJ: Yeah, no. You can still call me EJ, though.
None of the Throttlewood kids have actual competent parents, so they find comfort in sticking together.
Well, well. Look who came by! Annie, who used to break ugly townie-boys' hearts in Sims 2. And their signs were compatible too. No, no, no.
EJ: You married?
EJ: Oh, hi Lola! No, I wasn't doing anything. Just hanging out over at my cousins' place. No, there are no girls here...
This was a date, however. I thought "Sweet Hijinks" was a romantic drink, but I don't think they actually needed additional chemistry.
Lenny: Helloooo. I'm here to steal the spotlight with my cuteness!
Lolly: Awww! EJ, you're so sweet!
Lenny: Why are you hugging each other? I'm here. Pet me! Adore me!
Aaaaaaaand First Kiss was secured!
Lenny: Tee hee hee. Look what I did in the picture of your perfect moment... And feed me a treat!
BTW, that's Sofia Carlton peeping in the back of both pictures. I made her over while the puppies made out.
You can be individual without looking like a Lady of Negotiable Affections. I should probably have given her some leggings, though. And probably chosen a different pattern for the skirt.
The next date didn't go as well. I didn't take any pictures, but basically what happened was that EJ met Lola at that same corner, and asked her to go over to the Red Rendez-Vous. That's a very short drive, about two blocks. While they were in the car, a message popped up where Lola complained about something EJ was supposed to have done, and EJ arrived at the bar alone.
In order to cheer himself up, EJ returned to the plaza and chatted up Eveline, Helena's younger sister. They aren't compatible at all.
Neither are Annie and Quinn, apparently. Although, that's a couple I approve of should it happen autonomously. (But I don't think it can unless I'm getting a mod.)
Everyone was hungry, and EJ tried to feed them. Sadly, they were too stupid to eat. I need a "call to meal on community-lots"-mod, if it exists.
In order to become more popular, and work on his reputation as a cool guy, EJ threw a party and invited all his teenage aquaintances.
Eveline: Why did I come. I don't like parties. :(
Helena went straight to the bar, and ordered a Stomach Churner.
Notice Bianca starving in the corner.
Chase was there, too. I changed her face a bit, but I think I kept most of her character.
Wilma: Look, Jeff... I don't care if you think I'm a sell-out. I'm not the one who has to have the latest iPod and smart-phone.
Jeff: And I'm not the one who wears revealing clothes because corporate Simerica tells me to!
Wilma: I'm wearing what I like, as long as it upsets my parents!
Jeff: You're a slave to the Patriarchy, and you don't know!
Wilma: *Snide comment about Jeff's origins*
Erica: They sound just like Mom and Dad.
Lola: This was a great party. Grrr!
Lola: How dares he have a great party when I'm mad with him?!
Helena: I drank the tantalizing green liquid. It tasted like a wet fairyland, and my head got all dizzy with happiness. Suddenly my face got all weird, and I exclaimed fantastically.
Helena: The room started spinning in glorious colours, and I just couldn't stop singing My Jeans. Oh no, I was a prep!
Helena: I only weigh 40 kilograms, so maybe I can't hold that much booze. But then I heard an ethereal voice singing to me. It told me that I was strong, and that I don't need to drink or eat like humans do, because my strong will alone is enough. So now I will never have a hangover ever again.
As you can see, Bianca has finally gotten something to eat. To give an idea of how "long" this party was: The first thing EJ did was to order a pizza. He had one slice himself, and then he brought one to the famished Bianca. It was a few minutes at most! The rest of the guests had already left at this point.
Bianca: Oh no! I had fun at a party. My EMO-cred is ruined!
And JB finally managed to give one of the pigs a bath.
Melody... no. This is starting to resemble Ryan. And that's horrible.
Ulric: Tay, why are you sitting with Paddy? It's me you're coming home with.
Tay: Can't I come home with both of you? It's the same house.
