- Garrett and Edna had a daughter named Matilda who was born as the first member of the fourth generation of the Iron Apocalypse family. - Edna, Garrett, and Cassandra were close to finishing their careers and had one promotion left before completing them. - A fire broke out and killed Timothy and Warren after Andrea haunted them again. This left only three playable family members. - Several restrictions had been lifted over the generations including Hopelessness, Education, Adventure, Medicine, Military, Pet Show Business, and Culinary.

1. The Iron Apocalypse
5

2. Welcome back to the Iron Apocalypse. If you noticed that I changed the Powerpoint, that’s because my Internet crapped out when I started writing this
and I needed to use one that was pre-installed.
Garrett: Sounds like you need to lift the Gamer restriction.
Listen, bud. You aren’t going to lift your lifetime want.

3. Garrett: My life is terrible!
You are the third generation heir of an apocalypse. Your life isn’t that bad. Your mom had both of her parents die before she was even an adult- that’s
bad.

4. The boys are managing to get through their college years pretty flawlessly. Two young adults who are self-sufficient beats raising kids any time.

5. Garrett: Another semester over and done.
I believe they are now on their sophomore year.

6. Since they can’t interact with the NPCs due to the Intelligence restriction, the boys don’t really have many images during their sophomore year.

7. Because he needs high creativity for the Culinary career, Timothy began writing novels on the computer.
Which now brings us to Junior year.

8. Every heir needs a spouse, especially one who can top a career.
This dormie will not be that spouse.

9. Timothy: Why am I suddenly scared?
Because all your wants are things I can’t fulfill due to various restrictions and you are having a mental breakdown.

10. Halfway through Junior year!

11. Garrett: Why are you mad at me?
Timothy: You cheated.
Garrett: It’s a game. Plus you taught me how to cheat as a kid.

12. Time for Senior year. I am so close to moving them back in (Timothy will get played for a couple days before I move Garrett back so their ages are closer
to what they were previously).

13. Only a few more skill points to go before they have everything they need for their future careers.

14. Another dormie rejects Garrett.
Too bad I’m not lifting Music, yet. He could have an alien baby.

15. Garrett: I thought there were no cops yet.
Glitchy Officer: I’m no cop.
So after they proceeded to get stuck in the doorway…

16. Garrett got dragged off to the LFT Society. I obviously couldn’t let him stay due to all the restrictions he would be breaking.

17. Garrett: Why am I not able to leave?
Due to the glitch that got him here, he couldn’t make the call to leave home. I had to use the college adjuster to get him out of here as soon as possible.
Whatever, I broke a rule because of the game borking on me… it happens.

18. Back at the Apocalypse College house, I was able to get Timothy to finish off his last semesters and then head back home.
Timothy: I feel really cold in this.
Then you should have chosen something else.

19. Back at the main house…
Timothy: It says Military.
Crap. At least it won’t be long until tomorrow’s paper.

20. In the meantime, Timothy can work toward building the new car.
Timothy: Why me?
Well you wanted to lift Slacker and this is the way we subvert it’s main restriction.

21. I know you two are romance sims, but you are also mother and son.
This is gross.

22. Cassandra: Are we going to talk about last night?
Timothy: Mom, no. We’ll pretend that never happened.

23. Culinary?
Timothy: Culinary.
YES!

24. So Timothy is starting his career as a Host. Here’s hoping he doesn’t land a crappy chance card.

25. I have Cassandra quit her job because she’ll be aging up soon and we haven’t unlocked Pet Service.

26. And the second iteration of the crap-mobile is complete.
This time in silver. Andrea is dead, so it won’t be pink.

27. Cassandra: Mphf… I totally didn’t sleep naked with our son.
Warren: I totally haven’t been cheating on you with a townie named Shauna Chung.
Timothy: And I totally can hear both of you.

28. Because Warren needs something to do, I had him make friends with Sake the cat.
Balin: WOOF!
Balin, screw off. We have a new pet to play with.

29. Sake joins the family and will lift the next pet restriction.

30. Cassandra: I can’t remember my own name now.
It’s Cassandra.
Cassandra: Who’s Cassandra?
Oh, lord.

31. And the pet job for Sake is…
Timothy: Pet Service.
SWEET!

32. Timothy: Oh wow, mom. That outfit actually looks nice.
Cassandra: Well, if you like this, you should come upstairs and help me off with it.
Timothy: MOM!
Cassandra: Why do you keep calling me mom?

33. Of course, I get all the things I’m allowed to get for Sake and she sleeps on the ground (and destroyed a garbage can).

34. Warren: No risk of pregnancy.
Cassandra: I know… send in the brown-haired one next.
Warren: … You mean our son?
I am frightened of this woman in her old age.

35. Promotion after promotion.
Cassandra: Good, I caught you.
Timothy: Can’t I head back to work now?

36. Sake was also making headway in her career.
Sake: MEOW.

37. Cassandra: I have hands.
Shauna: ‘Scuse me while I make my way up to your husband.

38. And Culinary has been unlocked!

39. Unlimited food for the whole family (including the cat).

40. I figured pork chops would be a nice dish to celebrate the occasion. Sake did, too.

41. Warren: Oh, you’re home.
Garrett: Yeah, I’m the heir.
Warren: I figured you died.
Anyways, Garrett got a job in Law. This is going to be a good generation- I can feel it 

42. Garrett: So I managed to make a few friends in college. I think one of them may end up marrying in.
Warren: Son, as long as you are an apocalypse heir, no one will want to marry in. That’s why you have to trap a townie on the walk-way just like your
mother did.

43. Sake: Meow
Garrett: I like animals more than I like people.

44. Well, Warren aged nicely.
Warren: My brain… feel… funny

45. Timothy: Don’t worry. Soon, Sake will be able to fix both of you.
Cassandra: Mama could use a fixin’ of you right now, sug.
Warren: I… mad… at bad… man.

46. Since Garret wasn’t having any luck with the ladies, I figure this townie may do the trick.

47. Garrett: Seriously?

48. REJECTED!
Must be the one nice point.

49. Townie: I just prefer not to be at a constant risk for death.

50. Sake gets another promotion!

51. Timothy: As long as I’m out here with you, mom won’t keep flashing me.

52. Garrett: You want to be the heir instead?
Timothy: I think mom would kill any woman she sees with me.
Garrett: Good point.

53. And then Garrett med Edna Boylan. She is a sim I made in CAS to be a townie (before I generated any in this neighbourhood).
Edna: It nice to meet you.

54. Edna: That feel good to Edna.
Edna is… well, a little unique. Unlike most of my sims, I didn’t give her my trademark CHAD jawline.

55. Garrett: Whatever, we have two bolts.

56. You know when you miss out on a sim who could have been just right.
Edna: What you saying? Edna perfect.
Oh well… Edna is a Family sim who wants 6 grandkids. She is currently in the Science career and she’s pretty far into it. She’s a Capricorn (9/2/3/7/4). She
likes Underwear and Logic and doesn’t like Hats.

57. Since I’m not too sure about unlocking Science just yet (I may want Politics this generation), I have Edna look for a new job.
Edna: Edna like working in lab. It very lucrative.

58. Why do you talk like that, Edna?
Edna: Edna not sure what you mean.
I mean, why do you talk in the third person and not use verbs properly?
Edna: It save time.

59. Well, at least we can work on generation four now.

60. Edna: *snarf*

61. A double wammy of promotions for the happy couple!

62. This time I heard a lullaby.
Edna: Edna going to be mommy.

63. Edna: Your mom watch.
Garrett: Mom, go bother Timothy.

64. Another promotion for Edna!

65. Paul: New pet. Neat.
I like that Paul is a friendly ghost… unlike Andrea.

66. Edna: Edna in first trimester.
Cassandra: Been there.

67. Andrea: Hehehe

68. Andrea: BOO!

69. Timothy: Why does my chest hurt?
Oh no…

70. Garrett: BOTH OF YOU GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!
Warren: It… so… hot…
Garrett: JUST RUN!

71. Garrett: MOM, STOP RUNNING INTO THE FIRE!

72. Garrett: Oh jesus…
Well, the fire is out… and two sims are dead thanks to Andrea.

73. Garrett: Not to be morbid, but at least Timothy unlocked Culinary before he died.

74. Three graves in the kitchen/lobby… THREE WHOLE GRAVES.
Goddamnit. I need to unlock Paranormal soon.
SIDENOTE: Both the Military and Culinary rewards are in Garrett’s inventory as 2 of the 3 spaces he can use until I can place them.

76. Multiple promotions for the generation 3 power couple.
I can’t believe I only have three playable sims in this family plus a cat. What the shit.

77. Edna: Edna want to play with cat, too.

78. Shauna: You now I was sleeping with your husband, right?
Cassandra: Skank.

79. Edna: Edna really need to take off pants before she pee.

80. More promotions. Edna is at level 9 while Garrett is at level 8.

81. Edna: It girl.
Edna gave birth to the first member of generation four: Matilda Irons. Matilda is a Scorpio (10/3/9/3/1). Literally her dad’s personality with her mom’s hair
and eyes.

82. You know there’s a shower… nevermind.
Cassandra: Maybe that sexy ghost will see me.
It’s an open shower… and please be talking about your dead husband this time.

83. At least this image is peaceful unlike the majority of this update.
Edna: Edna like to bring calm aura to everything she do.

84. Now all three of my current eligible restriction lifters have only one promotion left. That’s a good set-up for the next update.
Garrett: Next update?

85. Yeah, I figured I stop now before I jinx myself.
Edna: Edna respect that.

86. So here’s everything so far:
Restrictions Lifted: Hopelessness, Education, Adventure, Medicine, Military, Pet Show Business, Culinary
Restrictions in Progress: Law, Science, Pet Service
Restrictions not Assigned: Athletic, Business, Criminal, Law Enforcement, Politics, Slacker, Artist, Paranormal, Natural Science, Show Business. Security Pet,
Journalism, Gamer, Music, Oceanography, Intelligence, Entertainment, Dance, Architecture, Alien Technology
