The MacAvoy ISBI - Generation 5.1!

[tigeranne]

Right! Sadie has taken over the torch, and will probably put that last "I" back in ISBI, where it belongs. Before we start, here's a quick update on what has become of her siblings, as you'll see that none of them are around anymore. Alice and Annabelle have moved in with the Starblooms, and Alice is married to Ben. Annabelle is engaged to Nathaniel Nightinsparrow. Wesley has married Ferrett Magpie, and will contribute his genes to what will probably be the last generation to actually improve their looks, as the Magpies are going to become an Uglacy from here.




Sadie: Where is everyone? They were here just a second ago! O_o


Look! It's Helena! Actually, no, it's still Sadie. Doesn't she look just like her great-grandmother, though? I mean, in terms of actual features she doesn't, but she does, all the same. It's weird. I like this make-over! Bring back the chaos of old!


The fogeys were having a date, that was still going on upstairs.

Lora: We have the house *almost* to ourselves! If only we had ACR installed...


Sadie doesn't have very high cooking-skill yet, so it's back to oatmeals and yoghurt for breakfast. Indiana iz disappoint.


The cats are still around, bringing happiness and sanity to the house.


Emerald is very loco la cabeza. She and Harrison would have nice, crazy kittens.


Sadie needed a baby daddy to have her doooooomed children with, so off to hunt she went. Um, her dress didn't look that photo-skinned in regular light, did it? I think it's from Lianasims, who's not known as Maxis-Match, and I actually went there to find something glamorous for Aylatani & Co to wear.


Lucky's wasn't a hit, so I figured Sadie might have better luck at the camp. It's made for longer stays, and has more to do.


She met Carter. I've always called him "Corby," haven't I? His real name is Carter. He's the template I made Falcon from, so he's got a good chance of creating babies who look like Ryan, but whatever, right?


Sadie: Whooooa, he's smoking hot!

Renée: LMAO he likes witches with grey hair, ROFL!

That's true. Nobody's ever had chemistry with him, before. And since this is ISBI, I can't change his turn-ons either.


I was surprised when he actually responded positively to her flirts.


Sadie, don't look so homicidal, please. Keep your single nice-point busy being a nice-point.


Carter had true love.


Sadie had true love.

Uh, Narrator, this is MY story. But you can caption the next image, if you'd like.

Okay. Sorz...


Orca was in the rock pool hunting for fish. He was a very big fish in a really small pond, because Orcas are very ginormous fishes. Except their not fishes because they breath with air-lunges. But anyway the aliens wweere mad with Orca for leaving his family business to be Nerniya's ugly husband, so they sent him lazer beams to make him sorry. In the next chapter you will see if Buck starts beating him up.


Sadie had one very good candidate to check out, and it was time to get her home so she could invite him over. She "forgot" to eat breakfast, because the camp had gotten pretty boring and I wanted to make stuff happen ASAP. Playing a 3-Sim house is so not my style.


Fred: You could just use the lamp and wish for eternal happiness. There's no way you're going to find 20 best friends!

Sadie: No, Dad. I'm going to work for it, just like Mom did.


20 best friends is reaching a bit, but she's got a recurring want for 5. I had her call Alice, so they wouldn't lose their relationship.


Sadie: Yeah, he's totally cute! Is he cuter than Ben? I don't know. You'll have to see for yourself.


The Macs are never going to be anything else than brunettes, are they?


There are those bubble-gum hearts, again. It's luuuv.


At least they're dressed, and not in a bathroom.


Fred: Welcome to the family, son! It will be nice to have someone around to talk about art with!

Sadie: Art? Since when are you interested in art, Dad?"

Fred: Have you seen that kitchen cabinet over there? Isn't that just some superb craftsmanship? Look at those straight lines, those angles, the excellent grain of the wood...


Sadie: He's been locked up in the attic! LOL!


I couldn't be bothered to do a wedding party, so I had them just make it final. Carter is now officially an ISBI spouse. Good luck, buddy!


Here's a better look at his features. Does he really look identical to Falcon? I'm actually starting to doubt it.


Wesley: Hi, sibling. I've come to see what I've escaped from. Who's the new guy?

Sadie: That would be my husband. :D


Artsy picture of Indiana being his quirky self.


He's hunting a fly, because Indiana's a mighty hunter.


Indiana: Diiie, fly! DIIIIIE!!! *chomp!*


Lora's only got one more promotion to go, and she's Captain Hero.


This is Adolf Hipster. He's got low nice points.

You? Here again? I should have expected as much. No, his name isn't actually Adolf.


James Derringer came to visit. He'll be a "story character" in the next generation of Starblooms, when Aamilei takes over the quest.


Carter: I don't really like the idea of raising my children in a neighbourhood that has a crazy man running around dressed like a gargantuan baby.

Wesley: It's a valid form of self-expression. Don't diss!


I will not appologize for excessive amounts of cat-pictures.


Sadie's pregnant. :D


Lora: Are you okay, honey?

Sadie: HUUUUUAARRRRK! No.


Right. Fred is senile. :(


There are always cats on the counters. I had to put in a one-tile table to put food on, because cats don't jump up on tables. (Unlike in real life.)


This is Gordon, in case you don't remember. He's really old.


This is Emerald, who should probably have been called Amber.


Elvira II, who's almost as hyper and quirky as Indiana.


Kendrick, probably the oldest cat. He's been around longer than Sadie, I think.


Carter scores millions of good-will points by having the cats' approval.


He doesn't play favourites, either. I hope the same will be true for the kids.


Awww, Sadie. Your Dad can't help it. :(


I'm planning on having Sadie drink as much elixir as her mother, so she can stay around 7ever. Not sure I'm going to do that for all the Torch Holders, though.


The first pregnancy was murder on her.


Nope. Not sorry.


Awww, no! Indiana is old! :(


We need a picture of him. Very not sorry.


Not appologizing.


Indiana doesn't like being tossed in the air, for some reason.


Indiana: HUUURRRK!


Sadie: I'm going to have lots of children! This house will be lively again! :D

Lee: You do know your family history, I assume?

Sadie: Yes, of course! This family have always been big and happy. I want it to be like that once more!


Sadie: If only the house would stop spinning...


Pop #1.


Sadie's got really high neat-points. She gets sooooo happy whenever she can make a bed, or pick up dirty dishes.


Fred: You're only heir because Alice failed all her classes.


Every ISBI needs a permanently burning tree in their front yard.


Sadie: I want to learn more about the previous generations. Great-Grandfather Lonzo sounds really interesting.


Time to get her started on the rejuvenation. :=)


Carter apparently knows alittlestrange's Belinda.


Don't worry. Even if a new generation of babies is about to emerge, there will be loads of cat pictures. :D :D :D :D :D


Kendrick: PLUUUEEEERK!

Poor Kendrick. He's really ancient, and should be treated with care!


Sadie got stuck like that for several in-game minutes. Actually, it was like almost an hour.


Indiana: She's always been a bit weird.


Being pregnant is no reason not to be active, LOL!


I'm sorry I said she wasn't as pretty as Alice.


Why do the cats have to start hissing at each other now, when they're old?


LOLNO!


Here's Carter's deadpool carpool. He's in the athletic track.


Ellie: Where is that roadrunner?!


Ellie: This is where I do that little wave-motion, right? *gulp*


New target located.


And as soon as she was down, Kendrick took over.

Fred: I wasn't really hungry anyway.


Fred: I love being a pensioner. Now I can stay at home and be helpful allll day!


Sadie: I'm never going to retire. My business will be my life's work.

Fred: Didn't know you had a business.


Sadie: Yeah, I do! I want to capitalize a bit on the Diaper Man panic that's been going on, so I'm going to be making sentrybots! >:D

Fred: Really? That's nice. Are you working from home?

Sadie: Yes, I've set up a workshop in the garage. BTW, I sold the Lexus to make space. It's not like you need it anymore, and the SUV is more suited for all the kids I'm going to have. An ISBI family can't really use more than one car, anyway.

Fred: You... sold... my... O_O


So here she is, as a proud business-owner. She's got a flower-thing and a pottery wheel too, if she feels like branching out.


Sadie: But... I didn't add a spark-emitter? :-/


Sadie: Yeah, I totally recommend marriage! You just need to find someone you're suited with.


Lora: You're not hinting at Annabelle getting engaged to a wolfkin, are you? I won't say I fully understand what it's about, but we have to be supportive of her, all the same.

Sadie: *isn't paying attention because her husband's hotness is too overwhelming*


Then it was AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH-time.


Look at that... A white baby. Why is it so hard to keep the tan in this family? This is not TigerAnne going SJW, or anything, but I want the MacAvoys to have a bit of pigment. The Starbloom/Nightinwolf family are all really pale, and they're going to dominate the hood in a couple of generations thanks to basically being immortal bunny-rabbits. Plus, the Macs just got their tan back after a couple of really pale generations, themselves. But whatever. He's regular white, not a ghost.


Meet Stephen. He's got a Pooklet Rehash skintone, Carter's green Rensim eyes, and of course brown hair.


He got put in the crib to incubate for the next couple of days.


At least that was the plan. Fred got him out, and proceded to practice levitation with him.


Fred: LOL! Flying a remote-controlled baby is fun!

Stephen: Oww! My head! Be careful, Grandpa!


Fred: There's not much room in here. I'll take him outside, and see how high he can go.

Stephen: Heeeeelp!


Fred: Grandchildren are so much fun! I hope I'll get a whole bunch of them, then we can have our own airshow!

Stephen: Someone HEEEELP!


Lora: Honey, we've talked about your Alzheimer before. I think I take the baby now.


Carter: We're having more babies? Awesome!


Sadie: Yes. I thought we should have the two first as close together as possible. Then it will be easier for Stephen to adjust to getting more siblings later.


Carter: Well, if you're pregnant... Maybe you shouldn't have eaten the same soup the cats' been snacking on?

Sadie: Now you tell me that?!


Fixing the shower, bla bla bla. Boring.


Sadie: IT POPPED INWARDS!

Lee: Oooh, I've heard of cases like this! Babies hollowing their mothers out from the inside! It's very rare and dangerous!

Sadie: D:

Fred: Maybe you could wear like a fake belly. I bet you can buy one at those beauty-shops where you used to get those things you stuffed in your bra.




They're just playing, FYI.


It looks like even Gordon and Kendrick have made up.


Maybe they just wanted peace between them before Kendrick went off to the Great Scratching Post. :(


Goodbye, Kendrick. <3


Gordon seemed legit upset by his longtime companion's departure.


Carter: Sadie? Your Dad is remote-flying Stephen again.

Bertie: He needs to tell me how he does that. It looks fun! *is Weedy's son*


Okay, that may not be the safest activity for someone who's pregnant.


Carter: Now he stinks. You take him.


Okay. Stephen is about to get too heavy for the levitation device Fred bought at e-bay.


Time to see what he looks like. :D

Bertie: Not as cute as the kids I would have had with Nerniya, if her evil twin hadn't been such a tyrannical dictator!


He looks like...


This. I'd say there's a lot of Carter in him.


Yep. Definitely Dad's boy.


Carter decided to be a good Dad. We like Carter.


Sadie called her sisters, to keep their relationship up.


Have some Stephen-spam. He might be a clone of Carter.


He's very fascinated by the invisible fishes.


Time for the most important education he'll ever get.


I'm always relieved when the kids got the walking skill down.


Hang on. That's not the right symbol, is it?

Gordon died. :( Poor old Gordon. I didn't even see it happening.


That called for another kitten. This one wasn't agressive. :D


Since the lesson got interrupted, another bottle was needed.


I'm not sure if Lora's admiring Sadie's parenting here, or if she's just happy it's not her responsibility.


Marshall: Wow, I have a big family!


This is Fred making breakfast. Obviously.


Sadie: Owwww, there's that crampy feeling again!


She narrowly saved her second-born from dropping straight into the pool.


This is Sean. I'm happy that she's got two boys, because it's about time this family had a male heir. There are so many female custom townies I want to marry in.


Anyway, Sean's got his father's eyes and skintone.


Please don't become a tragic ISBI-husband now, Fred. D:


Oh look. It's the Heir-reject. Who wrote her family a really mean letter.


Stephen likes science, and is *fascinated* by all the sparks.


Stephen: I hope my little brother is sparky too!


Sean: I'm not. :(


Five cats is a perfect number for this family. :D I really wanted the grey one with the blue eyes, but she's agressive. She'll have to wait, or go to another family. Harriet was the better choice.


The baby needs a bath. You know what that means!

Alice: I would have totally rocked as the Heir!


Stephen: What about meeeeee?


Alice: I'm sorry about the things I said in that letter. Not sure why I wrote it, actually. It was as if something weird took control of my brain.

Sadie: It's forgiven. I know you've been having a rough time.


We like Carter!


Whut? But he's been in platinum half the time!?


Look at this kid! I'm not sure there's anything of Sadie in him at all.


Oops. :( Fred is dead. He got to see his two first grandchildren, at least.


Here's the compulsory inheritance thing.


For once, one of my families showed appropriate emotional reactions to one of their loved ones dying. (To be honest, it's usually the Magpies who provide the inappropriate ones.)


Fred goes off to St. Michael's Cemetary, to rejoin the cats. :-/


I hate that Sims get the "They're dead!" realisation all over when a grave is moved.


This is Fred's wake, FYI. Lee's practically moved in.


Stephen's the escaping kind, it looks like.


Nothing shall come between him and his bunny head! I'm just happy for every charisma point kids get. :)


Right. Alice was there all the time. At least she got to see her Dad on his last day.


Sadie... I know you're sad, but there's the little matter of your baby lying around on the floor again.


Lora: I could tell people that he's mine...


Stephen's got a small problem with lumpy-face. It hasn't really been a thing with the toddlers since I discovered that you can blend features in BS. He'll probably grow up okay.


Sean: I've seen Death. My childhood innocense is gone, and I'm not even a day old yet.


Sean: I must remember Grandpa Fred. He was a very important person in my life today.

As an ISBI spouse, Fred wasn't half bad. But he sure went and traumatized both of his grandchildren on their first day of life.


Carter is still a good Dad. That tub was never getting fixed, so I bought a new.


I was obviously worried about not taking enough pictures of the kids.


Come ON, TigerAnne... There are kittens to take pictures of!


Oh look! Here are kittens! :D


They're BFFs, yeah, blah blah IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING TIRED OF SEEING PICTURES OF STEPHEN???


Well, now you are!


Anyway, Stephen is getting competition.


You don't have to eat the cake. We just need it to transform your son.


Look! Daddy's in his underwear! This is getting stupid again! :D


Rocket launch!


He's... got a lot of hair?


Oh no. He's a clone. D: But I rolled the pacifier! Ryan and Adana make pretty kids.


He's got angles in the exact same places as his brother. Hooray, I have identical twins...


This is the first time I've had two non-twin toddlers at the same time. :) Sadie's been busy.


You know? I'm getting tired of the ISBI-tree blazing away in the back of all the pictures. Oops, I sold the tree. :)


Not sure what I'll do about Lora's romantic wants. She's Perma-Plat, so being single isn't going to bother her. I may have someone date her for their own happiness, though.


Ignore Stephen, and pay attention to the adorable little kitten in the back, please.


This is Sean, however. He's taking after his kitten-huggling aunt, so we like Sean.


Dagmar is scolding the date-flowers for having the expired colour.


When she's done training her son, she may have to give her husband a little refresher. I don't really want a repetition of whatever it was Jen's husband was called. You remember him. He had a beard, and the same hair as Carter, and peed everywhere. Curtis, that's it!

Oh no. That's very similar to "Carter."


He's got walking down. :)




Then it was time to grow Stephen up, so we can see if he's Heir material. Okay, technically he is, anyway. Unless he gets lumpier, somehow. But in that case, Sean will suffer the same fate.


Stephen is going to be that kid, isn't he?


This is child Stephen. He still looks like Carter.

That's all for now. :) There will be another ISBI update before the Starblooms return with more Victorianity, because I've downloaded 607987 MB of CC that I should really install before playing their lot again.

I hope it was worth the wait!
