1. Hello there! Welcome back to Fuchs That!, the Trailer Park
Challenge that rhymes with “Dukes,” and not with any other words
you might be thinking of. You may recall that last time Goochie
was feeling unappreciated and sought an ego boost in the arms of
her boss, Kiyoshi Rucewicz.
You probably also remember that said ego boost came with a cost,
and here you see that cost – and a cuter cost it is difficult to
imagine, as I’m sure you’ll agree. But before I introduce this
bundle of joy, let’s rewind a bit…
2. Dexter and Armani are BFFs now. He puts up with her sticky hands
and complete inability to tell how hard is too hard to pull the
doggie’s fur in exchange for the lovely sticky mess that’s always on
her face. Armani just likes the kisses.
3. Given where Dexter’s mouth has been, you’d think kisses were best
avoided, but nobody seems to mind.
I’ve downloaded and added the Pet Food Au Naturel by
Sun&Moon at Plumb Bob Keep. I hope that’s acceptable under the
rules. The spawners are cheaper than pet food, but they only spawn
once ever 36 hours or so, and anyway, these are supposed to be
huntin’ dogs. I just gave ‘em something to hunt.
If that’s against the rules, please let me know and I’ll remove the
spawners from the lot. (But not from the game, because they’re
kind of awesome.)
4. As much as Dexter begs at the table, you’d think he was starving.*
I’d never seen the “Ask For Food” interaction before, even though
I’ve had Pets for probably seven years now, but I must’ve seen it a
dozen times this rotation. Not that I’m complaining! I think it’s
cute, and it totally fits this household.
*For most of the rotation, he was. The family couldn’t afford a pet dish, even
the cheapest one.
5. Dexter is quite the Doofus, regardless of what his stats say, and he
refuses to stop widdling in the house. Goochie took it upon herself
to set him straight.
GOOCHIE: BAD dog! Bad bad BAD!
Unsuccessfully, I might add. Although, if you subscribe to Calista’s
theory, it’s actually Goochie who was widdling on the floor, and
blaming the dog.
6. Adrian insisted on being excited about the baby, despite Goochie
best efforts. Rub Belly, Sing To Belly, Come Up With Names For
Belly…
ADRIAN: Hey, if it’s a girl, whaddya think of callin’her Arabella,
after my mom?
GOOCHIE: IIIIIIII uhhhhh… Heh heh… Oooh, it just kicked!
Wanna feel?
7. During Goochie’s pregnancy, Adrian never missed a chance to
appreciate her.
ADRIAN: ‘Scuse me, ladies. Can I cut in?
8. ADRIAN: I wanna be sure I get a dance with the most beautiful
lady in the room.
GOOCHIE: Aw, you’re so sweet! I look like a hippo an’ my ankles
are all swollen.
ADRIAN: I’m not lookin’at y’ankles. I’m only lookin’at yer face.
9. GOOCHIE: Awww…
ADRIAN: An’ the mother of my baby is the most beautimfmwm…
(Adrian is cut off as Goochie pulls him in for a vigorous kiss)
10. I would just like to point out here that Adrian did not neglect his
daughter – he spent plenty of time with her. I just didn’t get any
pictures.
11. In fact, I only got one picture of Armani after her age transition, and
this is it. She Grew Up into a nicely appropriate outfit, and
proceeded to wear herself out. (Controlling kids is not exactly
forbidden in this challenge, although it is discouraged.)
The family can’t afford enough beds to go ‘round, so Armani gets a
lounge chair in Cousin Calista’s room. And she shouldn’t complain
about it, either, since that recliner cost just about every simoleon
the family had in the bank.
12. Armani’s aging up was rather overshadowed by Goochie’s going
into labor.
GOOCHIE: Owwwwwwwooooo-oooh! I don’ know who came up
with the idea a a water birth, but I’m gonna strangle ‘em! This isn’t
any easier when yer all slippery!
13. Adrian was thrilled.
ADRIAN: Hello there, lil’ one! Aren’t you a cute one! An’
where’dja get those gorgeous green eyes?
GOOCHIE (quickly): Green eyes run in th’ family. Calista’s got
green eyes.
ADRIAN: So she does. (to baby) An’ so do you! (to Goochie) Now,
since this un’s a boy, I was thinkin’that my fath –
GOOCHIE (quickly): Dior. His name’s Dior. Coz that’s classy, like
Armani or Goochie.
14. CALISTA: Adrian, did you never think that Goochie’s boss has
green eyes?
ADRIAN: No, I didn’t. Are you implyin’ somethin’ about Goochie
an’ her boss an’ Dior?
CALISTA: Yep. What are you inferring’? Does it make you mad?
Or unhappy? (more huskily) An’ do you wan’ me to help you out
with either a those things?
15. ADRIAN: No, Calista. I love my wife.
CALISTA: But she cheated on ya!
ADRIAN: An’ I love her anyway. Let’s just not talk ‘bout this
anymore, ‘kay?
… On which disappointing note, I will leave you. Until next time,
Happy Simming!
