The Sexsmith Legacy 1.7

[commander30]

When last we saw the Sexsmiths, Ricky became a kid; Suzanne and Santiago became toddlers, then kids; the family got a puppy, Xena; and Lafayette was born.

A quick note--as you've probably noticed, since I'm all the way to 1.7 and the kids are still, well, kids, I should probably mention that yes, I have the lifespans set to long rather than normal. (Not epic, though--God help me if I tried 900+ day lifespans.) My first run through the seasons had them set to their normal week-long seasons, but after running through a cycle of that and it becoming summer again in my game, I decided to set the seasons for longer--they are now in 15-day cycles. So there's that.

I'm trying to get to generation 2 as quickly as possible. I've already played through about half of what will be 1.8, and I've made a lot of progress already. Of course, though, I take a lot of pictures, which slow things down... but, eh, that's me, I guess. ^^;

But enough of that. On to the update!



Commie and Lafayette. XD



JAZZ HANDS YO. (Also, check out Suzanne's awesome nightgown.)



A theme you'll probably notice with this update is that the kids often get stuck cleaning the stuff that Commie hasn't upgraded to self-cleaning yet. Here's Suzanne with the stinky toilet. Work that brush.



Of course, Calvin tends to the baby the most, being the family-oriented Sim with only a part-time job and all.



I like this stray's markings. I will forgive him for destroying the newspaper (they never read it anyway).



Still cuuuuuuuuuuuuute the bowl's bigger than she is!!!! unf i'm gonna die



The twins' first day of school... and instead of coming home, Santiago plopped his butt down right in front of the building and did his homework. I guess that's one way to do it... but why on the ground? Come on, boy, there's a park bench and table RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.



Well, look who's back. Quincy the vampire boss. What are you gonna do about it, Commie?



I bought that treehouse for your kids, not you! lolz okay I bought it for Commie too



Four down, one to go. Quincy, that strut will never look cool in front of a treehouse. (Especially not in that getup.) Also, Commie got a splinter. She's still happy, though. Only one Sim away from completing her lifetime wish! :D



Lafayette shares a room with Santiago, and as you can see by his crying and Santiago blissfully sleeping through it, I have started to like the heavy sleeper trait more and more. It's becoming very useful for Ricky and Santiago both to stay sane in this rapidly-growing household.



Okay, enough dinking around with the baby stage. I aged Lafayette up. Orange hair, yellow eyes, a male Commie clone, basically.



Suzanne, meanwhile, is still playing the maid. Come on, Commie, repair that busted sink already. You'll gain handiness points for your job, so it's a win-win!



The next day, instead of going to school, Santiago played hooky and instead went to preside over his kingdom... at the fire department. Don't ask me why. I certainly didn't direct him to do so.



Xena... that is your own pee, you disgusting thing you.



ABOUT DAMN TIME. Don't give me that look, Commie! You know you're the repair (wo)man around here!



Of course, though, she didn't clean up and made one of the kids do it. Oh, hi there, Ricky, first time appearing in this update!



Look what I figured out how to do! XD Apparently, all you have to do once you get the "Imaginary friend wants to come out and play" notification is just drag the doll out of the Sim's inventory and drop it on the ground. Everyone, meet Fluffs. And be happy you can see him, because in the Sexsmith household, only Ricky can.



oh dear god why does he have the "just-got-laid" strut? DDDDDX He walks EVERYWHERE like this, by the way. After how I've been associating that walk before now, it's a bit disturbing.



Fluffs: Dude, nice house, yo. Thanks for finally letting me walk around in it.



Just chillaxin' while the twins do their homework, oblivious to the creature standing right beside them...



I saw that one of the interactions Ricky could do on Fluffs was to make him clean up. Well! That'll certainly be a time-saver. Go Imaginary Slave--I mean, Friend! :P



PROPELLED INTO THE AIR AAAUGH.

Okay, enough of Fluffs for now.



Lafayette has taken over the position of night owl from Santiago.



Xena's social bar drops fairly fast, so she is often in need of social interaction from her humans.
Calvin: Be happy!
Xena: NO! NO HAPPY!



Rotating the camera a bit, however, I discovered that they were actually talking about insects.



DIE HOTDOG DIE



No, I have not forgotten about Lafayette. Calvin taught him how to walk, as per usual.



Meanwhile, it was Commie's turn to give Xena attention. They all play tug-of-war with her all the damn time, and it's adorable. :D



BEHIND YOU, SANTIAGO, BEHIND YOU!



Commie had an opportunity to upgrade Quincy's shower for cash. When she finished and I had her return it, she instead stood for like two game hours just staring at him. Way to go, Commie. Way to go.



FINALLY she returned it.
Commie: I hope you're happy, jerk, I'm starving now.
MAYBE IF YOU HAD GIVEN IT TO HIM RIGHT WHEN I TOLD YOU TO YOU WOULD HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN HOME AND EATEN, COMMIE YOU IDIOTIC SIM.



I don't remember why I took this picture. I think it was just because of his face. :)



Well, there's potty training down. Calvin is a master at teaching the toddlers basic life skills.



Whereas Commie is a master at goofing off with the dog.



Just to prove that I got the treehouse for other purposes than Commie's sex life, here's Ricky playing in it. Both he and Santiago were in there, although they didn't pop out too often for picture purposes. While they were up there, they decided to make it "no girls allowed". Hopefully their sister didn't have her heart set on joining them anytime soon.



Commie finally had some time to at least start teaching Lafayette to talk when she got off work. Although teaching him about her boring favorite subject can't really be too helpful.



Since I have pics of the other kids doing it, here is Suzanne presiding over her kingdom. I like her necklace. That looks like something I would have worn when I was a kid.



Woohoo, lullaby chimes, bun in the oven, same old, same old...



Random floating ghost-dog, what are you doing in my house? (That explains why I heard the Grim Reaper music earlier...) Well, weird and all, but I guess he's not doing any harm...



Oh HELL no. You've just crossed the line. You do NOT eat Xena's food! I used moveobjects on to get rid of the ghost dog and its tombstone. Which, yes, is technically a cheat code, but my puppy's supper was at stake. I've also had to reset some of the Sims when they've gotten stuck. The main point, though, is that I'm not using money cheat codes or manually adjusting relationship and mood bars. Which I do ALL THE TIME in my other games, so cut me some slack here.



I thought I got rid of the ghost dog quickly, but apparently not quickly enough. Calvin saw it and, being a coward...



...promptly fainted.



Ricky having a friendly chat with Fluffs from his bed. He looks very relaxed like that. :)



Meanwhile, Calvin talks about space missiles to the twins over their waffle breakfast.



Lafayette: Look Mommy, I can go potty all by myself!
Commie: Not right now, honey, Mommy needs to toss her cookies...



Suzanne and Ricky jam to some tunes. Santiago would join them, but he's too busy being responsible and doing his homework.



cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute



This would be a cute picture if Commie didn't look like a pod person. O_o



It was Ricky's birthday, but the only one who really cared was Fluffs. This is why Ricky needs an imaginary friend, apparently.



Fluffs: WOO! YEAH! BIRTHDAY!
Ricky: Really, Fluffs, give it a rest.

Anyhoo--we finally have our first teenager! He got the artistic trait like his youngest brother. Oh yes, and his lifetime wish, which popped up way back when they first adopted Xena, is the Arc Builder. (Which really matches none of his traits, but oh well.) I haven't found any guidelines on assigning lifetime wishes in Sims 3 legacies (traits are randomized, of course), so I'm just going with whatever the first one the Sim comes up with, as long as it's not a repeat in the generation. So Arc Builder it is.



Kid spam. The twins hanging out and chatting.



Santiago playing peek-a-boo with his little brother. :D



Today's update has been brought to you by the letters W, T, and F. Thank you. (And this totally was going to be my preview pic, but it was too dark. Oh wells, you win some, you lose some...)



"I always feel like... somebody's WATCHING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..."
And yes, Cookie Monster doll. :D



The four kids all happened to be standing in the same place, so I snapped a picture. And no, I don't know why Ricky's so skinny. I've been feeding him. :/



Once again, Commie was too busy to finish teaching Lafayette to talk, and I wanted to get him aged up before the new baby came, so I had Calvin quickly finish up. Politics, Calvin? Don't you think he's a little young for that?



Well, that's done, and I wasted no time. Here's Mr. Evil himself, gaining the adventurous trait upon aging up.



That night, Calvin was late to work, because he ran off to scold Ricky when he came home for missing school. I have no clue why, because Ricky didn't skip school at all. Thanks for randomly trashing your relationship with him, Calvin!



Really, did I get no pics of pregnant Commie before her water broke? Oh well, it's not like we haven't seen her pregnant before. And I don't know why Calvin's freaking out so much, since this is the third time he's witnessing this. Perhaps he's just scared by the ass shot he's getting, seeing as Commie once again spent a pregnancy at least partly averse to clothing?



At least she got clothed to go to the hospital, and at least Calvin's going with her this time. But, dear readers, let me give you a zoom-in on this seemingly innocent screenshot...



That is the most evil smirk I have ever seen this Sim sport. O_o



Here he is, the fifth and final Sexsmith child! Max is athletic and disciplined.



Commie and Calvin were so exhausted after getting home from the hospital that, right after feeding Max, they just plopped him on the floor and crashed into bed. Oh well, Max doesn't seem to mind, and no one's hurting him.



But Lafayette, the early riser for the day, soon came by to coo over his baby brother. Aw, how sweet! ...wait. That's not cooing...



SWIPE!

Oh well, perhaps it's for the best. What's a baby doing with a lollipop, anyway?



Max: WAAAAH MY CANDY!
Lafayette: Bitch, I don't even care.

I love evil Sims. XD



Rearranging time. Since Suzanne is vastly outnumbered as the only girl, she gets the single bed. Ricky and Max will share the other bunk bed once Max becomes a child.



Relax, Calvin, it's just the dog.



Either Calvin pissed himself, or he broke the sink yet again. And seeing as he has the steel bladder lifetime reward, I think we all know which it is. The good news is, though, that when Commie fixes this, it'll be her tenth plumbing object repaired, which means that all plumbing fixtures repaired by her from now on will never break again. With this break-happy household, it comes not a moment too soon.



And we end this update with toddler Max. He has black hair, obviously, and... what's this? BROWN eyes?! The Sexsmiths have finally produced a child with normal-colored (ie, Calvin's) eyes?! IT'S A MIRACLE!

And yes... Max has an imaginary friend, too. :D

The next update will hopefully come next week! I would post a cryptic "what will happen next" sentence, but since I've played far past this point, I actually know what happens next. ;) And in a week, you will too! See you then. :)
