The Reaper returns and claims another victim from the Superfrog family, this time taking Leo. Leo tries to fight the Reaper but is eventually dragged away. Goblin cheers on Leo during his battle with the Reaper. Sketch is angry that the Reaper took another family member and demands revenge. They add another grave to their crowded backyard to memorialize Leo.
2. Welcome back to the Superfrog ISBI!
Last time, we saw the family lose their sanity. Okay, most of them had
already lost it, but Sketch seemed to lose her sanity as well. Goopy
was worried about losing his awesome. Duck had a birthday. Knight
was born.
Onto this chapter!
3. Upon returning to the lot, I quickly got irritated because Goblin and
Duck weren't leaving for school.
“Lalalala, would rather play violin instead...”
I then realised it was Saturday. D'oh.
4. And so begins another normal day, where stinky babies can be found
sobbing because they stink – and stink is no longer cool.
Sketch knew what was wrong but couldn't get him to the changing
table before he burst out crying. Leo had been standing in the
doorway.
5. Duck also seems to hold the family ability for tantrums.
“Who let Vyn into my bed?! I demand to know!”
6. Sketch knows how to deal with tantrums, too, though.
“Chill! I always find Vyn or Leo sleeping in my bed, it's all good.”
It does look like Sketch does everything around the house. It's true,
she does. Everyone else runs around without their sanity, or a care in
the world, while Sketch looks after everything.
8. Also, yay, genetic diversity! There's some of Sketch in there, I believe!
Although Knight is genetically different, he seems to want to be the
same as everyone else, and grew up into Duck's hairstyle. Easily
sorted out.
9. Now you tell me that he isn't adorable! Look at his little face!
He definitely got the awesome genes from his parents. Then again, all
three of the kids got those.
10. “THIS CAKE IS AWFUL!”
Duck's tantrums. Forever amusing, mostly because of his pink teddy
bear pyjamas and angry face. Such a combination!
11. On the subject of Duck, he is a clone of Goblin, other than the fact
he's a boy. Even their personalities are the same. They also both
adore kareoke.
But then again, all three of the kids are creative.
12. Knight spends his time drawing at the activity table. Well, I say
drawing. That involves chewing on the crayons.
13. Goblin, meanwhile, is the only one of the three kids to play the violin. I
know Knight's not old enough to yet, but Duck doesn't ever play the
violin.
14. I wonder where they get it from...
Sketch is so creative she's maxed creativity during those days when
she lived with Makoto and no one else.
15. I love it when sims play in puddles. But not so much when those
puddles are in the bathroom.
16. Though I wouldn't argue with Duck. If he wants to play in indoor
puddles, I say let him play, just so we can avoid a tantrum or an
argument or something.
17. This blanket is one of the greatest things I've ever downloaded. I know
they've been around for ages, but I only just bothered to download it.
It's like toddlers sleeping in dog beds, but it doesn't knock their needs
down. :D
18. Meanwhile, outside, Goopy and Sketch were heading to hot tub when
it started to hail.
“Oh man, Goopy, it's hailing!”
“Hail, what hail?”
“Ouch! My head! Goopy, I'm going back inside.”
I swear, if Goopy gets hailed to death, I will not be happy. I've
managed to keep the Reaper away for so long this generation. :(
19. “Oh man, it's hailing out here!”
I'm serious, Goopy, get back inside! We do not need to kill off the third
spouse in a row!
Regardless, Goopy still waited until his thumbnail was green-y yellow
in colour before wandering back inside.
20. Inside, the clones are singing. Well, Duck is singing. Goblin's just
standing around in the background, with that kind of “Look! I'm
Outgoing!” expression on her face.
Still, they'd make a good stage act.
21. “Bang! Bang! I'll shoot you for interrupting my solo!” Duck declared.
“Not if I dodge the bullets by through the window!” Goblin leaned to
avoid the imaginary bullets, accidentally impaling herself on the glass.
No damage was done.
“Blast! I hadn't counted on you being able to do that.”
22. “Hey, Goblin, I'm sorry I made you walk through windows.”
“It's fine, Duck. It was cool!”
“Do you have superpowers? You didn't get hurt at all!”
23. Later that day, Knight was just crawling past during Goblin's drawing
time, minding his own business.
Goblin pulled one of her patented for-my-namesake expressions.
“Haha! I'll draw a picture of Knight!”
24. According to Sketch, Knight is a woman baking bread or cake or
something.
Which is fairly nice. Judging from Goblin's expression, I thought it was
going to be a terrifying picture.
25. Elsewhere in the house, Vyn was unable to make it to the toilet in
time, despite the fact she was standing right next to it.
“Vyn, even I know how to use a toilet!”
26. Leo sniffed, “Ew! Vyn, stink was sooo two chapters ago!”
I don't think Vyn really cares about whether stink was two chapters
ago or not. I think she's worried that she's stained her grey pyjamas.
27. Vyn, meanwhile, didn't stay in the bathroom while Leo and Duck
complained that she smelled, and instead, headed out of the room to
hang out with Knight.
“Is it you that stinks, or is it me?”
28. Pretty soon, Goblin's birthday rolls around.
“Birthday hug?”
“Ew, Duck, no! Go away!”
They seem like best friends. I have no idea why she turned down his
offer of a hug.
29. After that, the sparkles came to claim Goblin's childhood.
Ominous. I merely mean she grew up.
30. Goblin rolled knowledge, and decided that she was going to spend her
teen years in a leopard-print catsuit.
Hmm. Well, I wouldn't have chosen that for her, but apparently, that's
what Goblin wants to wear. I also had Sketch give her daughter a
makeover, but that doesn't change the catsuit.
31. Goblin spends her birthday night mopping up a massive puddle in the
bigger bathroom.
I have a feeling Goblin will either spend her teen years mopping up or
making puddles.
32. Outside, a random townie girl (whose name escapes my mind),
decided it would be relaxing to hang out in the hot tub.
Only Goopy and Sketch beat her to it.
“Dammit, why can't I get in the tub during their couple time?!”
33. Leo has decided to stand and watch people a lot now. I'm not entirely
sure why, but I quite often find him just staring at people.
Vyn, however, is great with the kids, and probably always will be.
35. Q: How many people can you fit into the smallest bathroom in the house
without it being awkward?
A: Not many.
I do not understand the draw of this bathroom. It's everyone's favourite
hang-out, and a total nightmare to take pictures in.
36. The next day, Goopy remembers he has work and gets dressed for it.
Apparently, he's a mime now. And I have no idea how that happened.
Regardless, Goopy rocks the mime costume.
38. And here he is! Complete with a faux hawk, because I think he's
awesome enough for one.
He's definitely different to his siblings.
39. Alan came out to join the celebrations.
Which is great, because Alan is the ghost who comes out the least.
Even Makoto can be found wandering the grounds from time to time.
That said, I haven't seen ghosts for a while, but I think the 'hood is
slightly broken...
...but I'm not rebuilding at this stage. I'm just going to deal with the
glitches.
40. Goblin, meanwhile, was inside, celebrating the birthday in her own
way. By singing in her underwear!
There's no doubt she's related to this crazy family.
41. Knight is also undoubtedly a Super. He throws tantrums, that's a key
sign.
So much aspiration failure.
42. And the violin playing.
Duck may have ignored the violin completely, but Goblin and Knight
seem to keen to follow in their mother's footsteps and play violin until
they're in the zone.
43. When I was sorting through my pictures for this update, I saw this one
and immediately thought “Oh my, what was happening in my game?!”
The Reaper's back. And he decided to shove his scythe through Leo.
44. “LEO, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE THIS PLACE.”
“I don't want to go. Who will take care of my flour-sack baby?!”
“ABOUT THE FLOUR-SACK BABY, THE THING ABOUT THAT BABY IS-”
“If you're about to tell me he's not real, I don't believe you. Everyone is
trying to telll me he's not real, and that's not really fair.”
“WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THERE IS FLOUR IN THE AFTERLIFE?”
“Not interested. In fact...”
45. “OH, FOR LLAMA'S SAKE, WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TRY THIS TRICK?!”
Goblin wandered into the room, and found Leo and the Reaper
fighting over an hourglass. Most people would be terrified.
“Go Almost-Granddad! Beat the Reaper!”
46. After stealing back the hourglass, the Reaper composed himself and
sighed, pushing open the door of the Haunted Room.
“COME ON, LEO, I'LL EVEN OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU. LET'S GO.”
“I honestly thought I was going to win that fight.”
“MORTALS ALWAYS DO. STOP YAKKING AND GET MOVING, I HAVE MANY
SOULS TO REAP AND YOU'RE WASTING PRECIOUS TIME.”
47. The Reaper was already gone when Sketch arrived – which he
probably planned. This being his fifth visit to her family in her lifetime
and all that.
“Dammit, Reaper! No one takes my family and leaves my daughter
sobbing! I demand revenge! Or an apology! Or something!”
48. Vyn, meanwhile, had only just woken up.
“I had such a refreshing sleep! What did I miss? Hey, why is everyone
crying?”
49. Sketch and Knight headed outside, to the new grave in their garden.
“Mum, we're running out of room.”
“Don't worry, Knight. We have enough space for Vyn's headstone.
Though if anyone else dies, they'll have to be shoved on an end table
inside.”
50. “They're planning where they're going to put my grave? I'm not even
dead yet!”
“It's okay, Almost-Grandma. They just need to know if they have the
space.”
“That makes me feel so much better, Goblin.”
“Glad to hear it.”
51. And that's it for this time!
Leo will be missed, I'm sure. He was fun to have around.
Join me next time for more insanity!
Thanks for reading! :)
