Birth of the Quad Pod in my Sims 2 OWBC redux chapters.

2. Tonight I’ll be redoing three of the eight chapters, as I write this last one it’s nearly 3:30
in the morning and I’m starting to feel the sleepyz creeping in. The chapters for this
were quick and dirty, very little plot, and a lot of conversations with the Sims. So
without out further preamble, let’s go.

3. Here's a little peek at the future, the new house remodel for generation one. There is no
college chapter for them because well, I didn't take many pics there, too many in the
house to worry about. There will be a few before the heir is revealed though, mainly who
they fell for there. And now on with the show:

4. Proof Orpheus maxed Enthusiasm in Music and Dance, he glows with his own spotlight and invisible audience
that actually cheers when he finishes playing. Also not the auto change into formal wear for his invisible concert.
Orpheus: They aren't invisible, my muses are here right in front of me. They're just not showing
themselves to you.
Okay...
Orpheus: Like my namesake, his mother is Calliope a muse who never reveals herself to anyone unless
they're magical.
I am magical though...
Orpheus: Then they just don't like you.
Brat.

5. Anywho, onto someone who doesn't hate me. Oleander!! Say Hi!!
Oleander: Oh dear...she's here with the camera!! *hides face*
Aww let them all see your pretty face hon.
Oleander: *is shy*
Ah well, this is her lover Professor Logan. Triple bolts these two are, who am I
to deny true love?

6. Orion, however thought it would be nice to
steal the placeholder for their Greek House
from me. The annoying cheerleader who
never left them alone...and I forget her
name. Last name is Molina though which I
think is pretty cool. Another triple bolter
just like his sister.
Orion: And?
And...?
Orion: Tell them about the heir poll.
Fine, Orion here got second place with three
votes so he will be the spare living in the
apartment for the AL bonus. Bacchus got no
votes so he's pretty much free to do
whatever he wants, Oleander and Orpheus
tied for third with two votes, which make
our heir Orchid who won with four votes.
And also the one for the Quad Pod.
Speaking of our heir, I forgot to take pics of
her lover. Neil Trimble, a BV townie who
came with no skills and another Sloppy
personality...*sigh* On to the next phase.

7. Here's Neil. Also has black hair which means the kids will too. But he has green eyes so maybe I'll
get some kids with them instead of the purple ones.
Neil Cutler
Sagittarius
(default)
Knowledge: Be Criminal Mastermind
But if you remember, Orchid here is supposed to be the one who brings in the Quad Pod. So she'll
have to get planted first and spawn four pod babies, which will make eight in this house so there's
not got to be any L, P or R babies yet until the quads are gone. Also means they'll need some
Elixer...

8. But first, Dee if you would we still need witches as well so Magus Mutatio her
please.
Diamos: Of course, Creator. Hold still baby. *casts spell*
Orchid: I don't want to be a witch!! Family sim remember?
Them's the breaks hon. Now go study the Neutral magics.

9. Also required, vamping. So Dee calls over our good friend Count Helios and...
Orchid: So Mr. Vampire with the ironic name, please bite my dad would you?
Count H: I'd be delighted young spawnlet. He has always looked rather
tasty....*licks lips*
Diamos: Did he just say what I think he just said?
You're a Knowledge sim Dee, what do you care?

10. Orchid: *nice witch sigh* Ooh, that looks painful. *winces*
Count H: I was right...he does taste good.
Step One completed.

11. Count H: Why not make it a two-for. *grabs Mags*
Maggie: Oh....
She's Knowledge too so she wanted this and they were both three days away from their
Elder birthdays so this way they can age together. I sent him home after this just so he
wouldn't vamp the whole house. Poor Neil wanted to be vamped to, but too bad... ^.^ So
now onto step two.

12. Orchid: Oh bugger.... *cough* *wheeze*
Bout damn time...this took forever. Ah well, at least she's now Perma-Plat and won't
take the aspiration hit for this. Notice the Education Minister uniform.

13. Orchid: Eww, green and blue so clash.
So go change, you got the Neutral witch robes so use em. See the hat?

14. Orchid: *shakes pollen*
One down, three to go.

15. Orchid: Number two...
*waits*

16. Aww... Pod baby.
And here is where I missed the other two birth shots. >.<

17. So here they are, two boys and two girls. Paisley, Petunia, Plum and Phoenix. Phoenix
and Paisley are the boys. And they all got the same personality!!! Orchid's
personality!! I even bat boxed the Randomizer too!! So now I have four, shy, neat,
active, serious and mean Pod babies. Once they're grown they're gone so I have space
for the three required pregnancies in this generation. Also they don't count for the
naming scheme I just chose four P names for them.

18. Finally. Time to kick them out after they get vamped and find Slacker jobs. Closest to Neil is
Petunia she is a Virgo, Family/Knowledge and LTW To Have 6 Grandkids. Next to her is Paisley,
a Cancer, Fortune/Grilled Cheese LTW To Eat 200 Grilled Cheese. Third is Phoenix a Taurus,
Family/Pleasure, LTW Be Education Minister. And finally Plum, a Scorpio, Knowledge/Family
LTW Be City Planner. They're stats are all the same in case you've forgotten, at least the signs are
different:
10/0/10/3/2
Step Three Completed.

19. Now, Mags if you would do the honours.
Maggie: Ooh, tastes like aloe.
Plum: Ooh so this is what the fourth dimension looks like…
Petunia: What...ooh pretty colours Non-Grandma...
Maggie: Hold still, this won't hurt a bit.

20. Maggie: This is my Bleh face Paisley!! Fear it!!
Paisley: Right....real scary Non-Grandma.
And Paisley would not let her bite him, I tried three times and he rejected all of them.
Phoenix: Come mere brother!!
So Phoenix had to do the honours.
Orchid: Oh, my poor pod babies....
It's okay, they only need to stay this way for a little while.

21. Neil here brought home someone who might enjoy seeing themselves in my world, Becca!!!
Neil: And she's a Creator too?
Well, Becca prefers the title Jedi Master for her sims to address her by but she knows Dee personally.
Neil: How?
Umm...from Hidden City.
Neil: Where?
Never mind.
Becca: Where's Dee? I don't want to talk to the Townie Pleb.

22. Becca: *swoon*
Diamos: Hey, do I know you?
Becca: No...not really. But I know you. *giggles*
She made Mokosh for Dalen, Dee.
I won't tell him about the rest of their history. That would be confusing to anyone who has no idea
who Mokosh is or has never read the Hidden City RP. And she's an elf, I didn't notice before, the
custom hair hid it but it looks the like Criminal uniforms don't jive well with it so she ends up with
Maxis hair, sorry bout that Becca. :(

23. Neil, where you going?
Neil: Becca stole the gnome so I must go steal him back.
Ah, okay. Bad Becca, stealing my gnome...
And here's where it ends folks, next time the awaited birth of generation two and what
became of the Quad Pod. Come back next time k?
