1.4: Family Ties

Thanks for joining us!  Last week on Heroes and Villains, Ariel decided to break up with her loving husband for just about no reason at all, Mystie and Rogue aged into moody teens, and little Wolverine was born!

We’ve got another eventful update ahead of us, so fasten your seat belts…

Ursula: *rolls wish to be mean to Rogue* “What the hell is your problem, lately?  You’re so grumpy and nasty all the time!”

Rogue: “No one in this family loves me because I’m not ugly enough!”

Ursula: *rolls wish to be friends with Rogue*  “Aw, come here, hon.  Of course we love you!”

Rogue: “…Really?”

Ursula: “Of course!  Here’s a gift to prove it.  Forget about the fact that I just yelled at you out of the blue for no apparent reason.”

My sims must be bipolar or something.

Anyway, how’s our little uglacy heir today?  Wow, looking much too cute there, Wolfie.  It must be because you’re a toddler.  All toddlers are cute.

Fortunately, that problem’s about to disappear.  Ariel didn’t wish to throw a party, so Wolfie grows up without a cake in the kitchen.

Okay, kid, let’s see some ugly!

Well, Rome wasn’t built in a day.  >.>  We have ten generations to breed in the nastiest genes we can find.  You’re a good start, though, Wolverine.

Wolverine: “Whatever.  You suck.”

He’s now Mean-Spirited, by the way.

Looks like Ariel will have to alternate sleeping times with Walter now that Wolfie has claimed his bunk.  Or she could just, y’know, make up with Walter and live happily ever after.

This is what Brennan does on autonomy.  All. The. Time.  But that’s okay, because he needs it for his LTW.

This is just to show Wolverine’s outfit, because I think it’s adorable.  His favorite color is red, so he’s got red accents to go with his generation’s white.

Ursula reached level 9 of the business career…why are you crying Urs?

Ursula: “They love me; they really love me!”

Ariel’s been busy working on the family portraits!  Ursula’s is a little blurry but Brennan’s looks awesome!  Thanks to Elocine for giving me the tip about how to get great portraits.

Mystie: “Hey, Dad, do you think you could help me–“

Brennan: “Shhh!  This is the best part!”

Way to be involved with your child, buddy.

Uh oh.  This could be interesting. D:

The first wish she rolls is to move to a new house. -.-  Luckily, her panel was full, so I didn’t have to accept that one.  It’s against legacy rules to move.  ><

Things were pretty tame until the next day.  Brennan was (again) watching TV, and Urs had rolled the wish to finish a book.

So she finished it, and then cuddling ensued.

Which of course led to other things…

Which led to this!  ><

My rules tell me that wish must be obeyed, and so the two lovebirds spend some time in the sack.

D:  But you’re one step away from the top!  Oh well, at least she completed her LTW before she quit.  Now she’s a test subject.

Ursula: “Does this outfit make me look fat?”

Wolverine: *rushes out the door before he’s forced to answer*

Ursula: “Oh!  I’m not fat, I’m pregnant!”

Well, you’re half right. >.>

Yay, prom time!  They both went stag and I forgot to set them up with appropriate formal wear.  Bad simmer!

Mystie definitely had a better time than poor Rogue, and even scored the crown and a boyfriend!  I’ve never seen this Marcel guy, so we’ll have to invite him over sometime and see if he suits our purposes.

Here’s Mystiques memory table with her prom pic and crown and the little bento she made during her bistro field trip as a child.

Rogue’s looks much the same, minus the crown.  I think eventually I’m going to give each member of the family a memory wall, WYLSB-Rainbowcy style!  We just need a bit more room first.

Unlike Brennan, Ariel is happy to help her kids when they ask.  And Boinky is just as creepy as Wiggles with the staring.

Boinky: “Are you done yet?  Come plaaaay with meeeeee.”

But Boinky was foiled again when Ariel rolled the wish to play a game with her son and Wolverine rolled a wish to play catch with her.  D’awww.

Walter had an opportunity from work for which he needed martial arts skill.  Buydebug is useful for traveling avoidance.

Mystique rolled up her LTW to be a chess master as a child, so we’re slowly working on it every time we get a free moment.  The hardest part is getting competitors to show up!

Both Brennan and Ursula kept rolling wishes for a hot tub, and we were finally able to afford one.  It was while relaxing in it one day that Ursula rolled up this beauty:

*sadface*  First Ariel and now you?  What am I going to do with you girls??

She needed a bit of support for her feelings, I guess, because she assaulted Mystie’s chess opponent with a barrage of questions.

Ursula: “Do you think it could just be my hormones?  I mean I’m pregnant and going through a mid-life crisis on top of that…”

Chess Lady: “Definitely not.  Men are pigs.  You should divorce him right away!”

Thanks, lady, you’re a big help.  ><

Our second poor, unsuspecting soon-to-be-ex-husband found his wife in the front yard and started gushing about their incoming baby.

Brennan: “I’m so excited to have a newborn again!  Don’t worry, I’ll get up every night and feed the baby so you can get your rest–“

Ursula: “I know you’re excited about the baby, Brennan, but let’s face it: you’re a lazy slob who spends all day either watching TV or playing the damn guitar!”

Brennan: “Wha-what are you saying?”

Ursula: “I WANT A DIVORCE!”

Brennan: “WTF, Ursula?!  I thought things were good between us!  I love you!”

Ursula: “Yeah, well you thought wrong.”

I’m hating my girls right now. ><

Rogue has had the opportunity to mail a rainbow gem to the science center locked in for sooo many days now.  Most nights after school she’s out combing the neighborhood, and she’s amassed quite the collection of all gems, rocks, and metals other than rainbow gems.

On this particular trip to the park, she noticed something else at the park we just had to have…

And now he’s our first gnome of the family! ❤  His name is Encino Man.

Aha!  So this is Marcel.  He’s okay.  Kind of face one, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and let him remain Mystie’s boyfriend for the time being. Until someone better comes along.

*tsk tsk*  Marcel, you’re not making me love you right now.

There hasn’t been much of Ariel in this update, and that’s because pretty much all she does is paint all day.  But look, she finished her portrait and Walter’s!

BAHAHAHA.  Just had to take this picture to show you all the formal outfit Ursula rolled as an adult.  *wheeze*  I hate these cc outfits which mess with the shape of my sims’ bodies, but this struck me as ridiculously funny. XD

Another non-Athletic sim who rolled the want to workout!  My sims are weird.  But more power to them!  Wish they could send me a little of that drive… >.>

Boinky: “You’d better be devising a potion to turn me real, kid.”

Wolverine: “Must. Ignore. Creepy. Doll.”

Unlike Rogue, Wolfie hardly ever interacts with his IF if he can help it.

Poor Brennan has been relegated to the couch since Ursula dumped him, and in his exhausted state he missed what was happening in the other room…

His baby had decided to come out!

Ursula: “That wasn’t so tough!”

Meet baby boy Sabretooth!

Aaaaand then Ursula rolls this want.  Sigh.

Another of Ursula’s mid-life crisis wishes was to spend $10,000 upgrading the house, so we added a nursery and a huge basement!

Brennan: “Oh why, why did she do it?  I live only for her, and she broke my heart!”

He does this every 5 minutes.

Wolverine: “Yuck!  This stuff is gross!”

Ariel: “The Grim Reaper comes to collect little boys who do not appreciate the dinners their mothers make.”

Wolverine: *chokes it down and tries not to throw up*

Brennan: “My heart bleeds, but you, little guy, you are its band-aid.”

Wow, Sabre’s skin is a lot darker than Brennan’s!

Ursula: “Why did I break up with my husband?”

Beats me.  Oh, and you’re smothering your child.  In the literal sense.

Sabre: “Help…me!”

Ursula, after wanting to expand the house, rolled the wish to buy a car worth at least $10,000.  Sooo we used a few of Brennan’s amassed LTR points and YAY inheritance!  I wonder which Skipton I just murdered? D:

Also on Ursula’s wish list: A makeover.

Notzo Curious: “Hmm, how do you expect me to work with this?  Well, let’s see what I can do!”

Notzo: “Yes!  Beautiful, I like!”

Ursula: “Meh.”

So, she had some other lady try, liked this one better, and returned home satisfied.

Ursula: “Sweet dreams, little man.  It’s your birthday tomorrow!”

She even rolled the wish to throw him a party, not that any of the guests bothered to pay attention.

Rogue: “Yay, little cousin!  Grow up cute!”

Oh.

Well, thank heavens for Mystique!

He totally looks like a Fraggle.

See you all next week!
