2. This chapter is brought to you by âNo red pause modâ at
Insimenator.org, âEnhanced Gameplay Camerasâ at
modthesims.info, and a changed screen resolution trick I
learned from SimsVIP.
3. The stench and flies really come off in a different way!
âWhy do you force me to live in this misery?â
Oh shush. Also visible here: Iâve switched the genetizised skins I
used for a more Maxis-match set (Neo is standard S2 now).
4. âUgh, thatâs both filthy and considered bathing.â
Oh you lovable paradox of a sim.
Also, since the resolution is so much wider now, Iâll be cropping
most of my pictures from here on out.
5. Ah yes, one can clearly see that they are brothers.
Neoâs and Benâs genes combined donât make for that many
variations, unfortunately :/
6. âVOICE! Would you mind explaining why my aspiration meter is
halfway through the negative area?!â
Yowza, thatâs a scary face. I guess your real question is âwhat
happened to Patrick Ottomas?â. You seeâŚ
7. Samantha and Peter Ottomas both passed away recently, after
a long life of continuous fornication and reproduction.
8. Several of their offspring had gathered to hear their final words,
and while the greavers were busy moving the deceased to a
more suitable location, a fire started. By the time the smoke
was noticed, the flames had already spread to the point where
they could not be put out.
9. Everyone were already gathered outside at the supposed point
of ignition, yet they all ran in one by one to save the heirlooms
of their childhood home and ultimately join the choir invisible.
Your dear friend Patrick was the first one to meet his untimely
end, Iâm afraid.
10. Luckily Ottilia, the youngest of them all, did not attend the
tragedy and was thus spared. I believe she has recovered from
the initial shock and is currently staying with her sister Safina,
one of the few who had bid their parents farewell in advance.
11. I wonder to myself why Patrick would have been so foolish as to
make that fateful dash for his parentsâ bedroom; what could a
sim possibly gain from rushing into the midst of a blaze like
that?
The origin of the fire is still a mystery, as neither the stove nor
12. It was almost as if the spark had been ignited by a force
majeure.
âYou mean you killed them.â
Hey now, no matter who or what initiated the inferno, they all
ran inside by their own free will. Foolish sims.
13. Now to a slightly less depressing topic: either we have
cockroaches or just bad luck.
âHey, I didnât do anything! Just ask Curium!â
Well, thereâs no âcall in sickâ for kids, so off to school you go!
14. You need to take better care of your pets! Benny is starving!
What do you mean? He has all the questionable puddles a dog
could possibly drink!
15. âŤHey, baby, Iâm your handy man
âBite me.â
All that plumber look needs right now is a pair of low-cut jeans.
âI said bite me.â
16. Look whoâs too sad to go to school.
âWhatâs the point if you kill the few friends I have and still not
let me go to college?â
Oh let it go already.
17. Meanwhile, in the storage room/toddler prison:
â{Why wonât this bar MOVE?!}â
â{Itâs no use, Hydra. You need to learn how to walk first.}â
18. It actually took me a while to realise why I kept hearing two
types of music simultaneously: the broken stereo is glitched.
I couldnât delete it or set it for sale; the batbox didnât do
anything; the only option in testingcheats shift-click was to
force error, which I didnât want to touch.
19. So I bent the rules and had Ben fix it, with the gate being locked
for all other sims but him.
Please donât get electrocuted, please donât get electrocutedâŚ
20. âThere, fixed it. But the remote doesnât work when Iâm this
close, and thereâs no such thing as a manual option.â
*grumble* Oh and btw, while fiddling with the batbox I found
out that this lotâs value is high class. Lolwut?
21. Youâre probably wondering about the towels, and yes, the
answer lies in a mod. Thanks to Ailias (MTS), my teen-elder sims
now change into the BV towel after showers and baths.
And since these people LOVE to take baths and donât have jobs,
youâll be seeing a LOT of towels.
22. WAS THAT A BABY BUMP?!
âNo, I just got fat. Look closely.â
âŚway to get my expectations up, pop-up window.
23. While some of the Rautas walk around in towels all day, some
prefer to go au naturel.
I think itâs kind of sweet that Ilo and Bruce have an active love
life even as old and grey.
24. And suddenly, an error message showed up. At first I thought
that Neo was the one erroring and got one helluva scare, but it
was the easel. I recently installed Anoeskaâs MMF easels with
more options, so that was probably what caused the jump.
I could only move the canvas using moveobjects, and it was still
tilted despite being finished, so I couldnât hang it on a wallâŚ
25. âŚso the painting ended up in the tech cemetary! Thanks to the
AL shiftable feature (and maybe another placement cheat, I
donât remember) I got it to look like itâs resting towards the
broken stereo :D
26. Also, Bruce wanted a hot tub, so he got one. Or rather, Iâd been
planning on giving the Rautas a hot tub for some time, but
didnât actually do it until he rolled the want.
Itâs by HugeLunatic (MTS) and although it costs practically
nothing, fuzzy_spork uses it too, and sheâs the creator of this
challenge.
27. Note to self: donât put desks and phones in narrow hallways.
Geesh, I need to learn how to do proper trailer layouts.
28. A certain someone spread the flu to his siblings instead of
becoming healthy again while at school like one of my QBC kids.
âHey, I couldâve stayed at home and rested, but you ââ
Be quiet and eat your soup.
29. Ah, bonding with your brother-in-law while being famished,
dressed in white cloths and surrounded by stink.
Why am I suddenly reminded of my culture history homework?
30. âWhy is that man walking like Mom when her bellyâs big? And
why do the trailers opposite from us look all sminecrafty?â
âTellie, Iâm afraid those are what Voice calls âno-no questionsâ.â
âStop calling me Tellie! It sounds like a girlâs name!â
31. âI found Itty Bitty Clay Vases! Now please, can I go see Buffyâs
ghost or play with one of my sons?â
Hmm⌠No. But since youâre such a good servant, and even
dressed like (an ancient) one, youâll get another task.
32. âWow. I feel so privileged.â
Shh, let me think about how to make a joke about the âdigging
in the dirtâ-part.
34. If sheâs getting her head stuck in toilets now, then imagine what
her high school years are going to be like!
In all seriousness though: STOP PASSING OUT, PEOPLE.
35. Ben: âAre you SURE you want another one?â
Neo: âHoney, thisâll be the last kid I ask of you.â
Ben: âYou mean kids. Iâm not optimistic enough to hope for
anything less than twins.â
36. Ben has nothing to worry about. After all, the in-laws are
helping out too!
âAnd the cowboy reminded the little boy that teddy bears have
feelings too and should be treated just as well as people, even if
you only have four nice points.â
38. âMom! Canât you even watch the kids for the short while it
takes to make a baby?â
âOh, so Benâs a quick-draw?â
âWhat? No! MOM! Thatâs not what I⌠ugh.â
39. That was when I noticed Ilo had inherited money from Peter. It
was only a §1000, but it felt unfair to keep it. Thus, Ilo gets to
send the sum to Cara Lum (married to an Ottomas) using
Pescadoâs money order.
Can I go even one chapter without mentioning CC or mods?
40. Tel starts his day off with dancing, as one should.
Or possibly a mime act.
Either way, itâs cute and deserves to be immortalized <3
41. Benny is so popular with the kids! Unlike Dakota, who just
seems to be grumping in her doghouse all day (when sheâs not
asking to be fed or bathed or something like that).
42. You canât see it from this picture, but heâs actually dancing
along to the music!
The children keep rolling wants for him and Dakota to learn
commands, while Iâm busy trying to keep everyone fed.
43. âCome on Ben! We need to get cracking on another baby
before we become too old!â
âAre you really sure about this? With all the people living in this
trailer, we canât even find time or space to - â
44. âWhatcha guys talking about?â
Neo & Ben: âBetter stuff my face so I canât answer.â
45. Meanwhile, Francie and Hydra await for someone to change
their diapers.
In matching jammies too!
46. âEverything is fine. I am in a tropical paradise far away from
here called La Fiesta Tech. I am not getting straight Fâs, my
brother-in-law is not tearing holes in the wall or walking around
in nothing but a towel, and best of all, no nieces or nephews are
screaming after me.â
47. While Ma and Pa are busy cooking up some love in the hot tubâŚ
48. âŚGrandma and Grandpa are cooking the actual ones.
Just kidding. Iâm not the OMGWTFBBQ type of player.
As far as you know.
50. âIâve got actual muscles now! And grandma is totally not
smustling in a towel behind me.â
The delusions, the delusionsâŚ
Samarium rolled Pleasure/Knowledge and wants to become a
Celeb Chef. T-ons are perfume & athleticism, t-off is brown hair.
51. FINALLY the baby chimes ring!
And dang, that bedding gets uglier every time I look at it.
52. âYOUâRE DRESSED INDECENTLY!â
âHoly cow! Will you ever stop haunting me? I have a hard
enough time controlling my bladder as is!â
âPUT ON SOME CLOTHES AND I MIGHT!â
53. I didnât know Neo painted with glow-in-the-dark paint!
Seriously though, how cool is it to have a glitch-haunted
painting in your backyard?
54. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK.
Getting into a tent doesnât count as a sleep interaction as far as
autonomy goes, apparently.
55. âI hope these fancy-schmancy pet bowls will hold more food
than the cheap ones we had earlier, so the dogs will hold off on
the complaininâ. Itâs hard enough to remember making
breakfast for the kiddies!â
56. Look at you Lee, making the bed without anyone asking you to!
âI have a very good reason for it.â
58. Thanks to fall, potty training becomes easier than ever!
Ben: *wakes up* âHuh? What just happened?â
59. Samarium decided to help take care of his siblings instead of
going to school.
Heir material right here.
By which I mean Gallie, because I want the matriarchy to go on.
60. Tel and Curi also decided that attendance isnât necessary to get
good grades: sleeping and spying on the neighbors are much
more valuable ways to spend oneâs time.
61. Iâm sure theyâd be doing their homework if Benny wasnât busy
mauling it all.
Like Iâve said, heâs popular with the kids.
62. Sam: âHere, have a §1 treat! In fact, Iâll even agitate Voice
further by letting you have a piece of flesh from my back!â
Dakota: âErr⌠Iâd rather not.â
63. You know that Music & Dance is big in this family when even
the dogs are joining in to sing.
64. Ben, being ever the kind spirit, becomes best friends with Zirc
by teaching him that itâs okay to laugh at others as long as
youâre not pointing at them directly.
65. Sam on the other hand teaches him how to impress the ladies
with your smustle movez.
Even though the only ladies heâs ever encountered are related
to him or currently in the wrong age group.
66. Still, heâs way better off than Ben, who judging from the
expression has no idea of what heâs doing.
67. âZzz⌠best friends forever with BenâŚâ
FINALLY he jumps out of the red! And into gold, apparently o.O
68. At last, the quadruplets grow up!
First is Francie, who Iâve realised has the same hairstyle as my
current simselfâŚ
72. Since Hydraâs late to the party, he actually gets cake and people
cheering for him.
If only itâd work like that in real life.
73. âWoo! I got a semi-party!â
Actual parties are tough to manage with this many sims, since
someoneâs bound to pee themselves sooner or later >:(
74. âWelcome to the club Zirc. Remember: with great hair comes
great responsibilities.â
âThanks, Curi!â
âShh, itâs âMasterâ now.â
75. âHydra, despite your name and zodiac, donât become like Tel.â
âGee, how long is he going to be in there?â
77. âPicking up my siblingsâ potty waste is so gross.â
Yet you do it voluntarily, even with a smile on your face!
78. Lee and Curi continue the mentoring of their baby bros, this
time by playing ball sports in the dark...
79. ...while Bruce tells his wife what kind of sports equipment heâd
like to try out on her *shudders*
Thatâs it for part 1; part 2 and 3 will be coming soon!
