In Spite Of The Stink, Everyone Survives


Sunkist: "It smells gross in here."

No lie, that could be the subtitle of this entire challenge.


"I miss Grandpa!!"

I know. Your father has to starve all by himself, now. So sad.


"Hee hee! I wike my big budder!!"


He is cute. Annoying was able to roll for his trait, and he's now brave, good, absent-minded, and has a good sense of humor.


Et tu, Sky?

"What? I'm hungry."


"Okay, something is wrong with the stove."

You don't say?


Cutie becomes a child. She's now a virtuoso, in addition to being excited about everything except the outdoors.


See Sunkist and Cutie? They are working on their skills. They are being smart sims. Be more like Sunkist and Cutie, Phil.

Phil: ...................................


 "Kid, why are you staring at me? I'm about to stab you with this fork."

"The french toast is nasty and gross, did you do that?"

"WHAT are you going on about? It's fi...."


"UGH!! This is disgusting!!"

"I told you."

"This house is such a dump! Why can't I go to graveyard?"

Parties are nice in that they provide a lot of leftover food. Unfortunately that food goes bad pretty quick in the crappy fridge.


Panther becomes an adult. Breaking with tradition, I let her have a cake with no party so I don't have to put up with Phil and Annoying loudly and dramatically starving to death, at least for a day or two. All the big kids are at school, and I cancel Panther's action to eat a piece, so she puts the whole thing in the fridge.


Another day, another birthday, but this time there's a party.

"Yeah, I broke it off with Tyson. Well, really he broke it off when he decided to screw another woman, but let's not talk about him."


"Damn, Onyx. I'm sorry."

"I'm over it. Throwing all of his stuff out onto the lawn helped a lot."

"Um, I don't know how to tell you this but .............. I didn't know y'all broke up and ................ well ................ I invited Tyson to the party."


"Oh. Well. That's okay, I'll be alright. I guess."

Oh Jesus, Onyx, do not make me sad at Cheeto's birthday party!

Tyson: "There's free food, right?"


"No, it's fine. I'm good. I'll come cheer for my nephew. It'll help hide the giant, black raincloud of despair that's hanging over me."

Panther: "This sucks. I wish you got breakup notifications."

*sigh* Always gotta be drama.


Cheeto is a cute, stinky teen! I don't know what it is with me and this kid, but once again I didn't record his traits. I do the screenshots in Paint, and if you don't rename the file, it'll write over the previous screencap. I wonder if that's what happened.

Not pictured: Phil becoming an adult on his own that night. He doesn't get any cake.


"Guess what, Annoying? Our sister is a total weirdo!!"

"And in this family, that's saying something!"


"Hmph. My robot army will destroy the unbelievers."

Sunkist got to roll her trait, and she is now an excitable, heavy sleeper who is more than a little eccentric.


"What is that smell? And why is the floor wet?"

*sigh* Behind you.


"I may be a little odd, but I can use a toilet."

Thanks Cheeto, thanks a lot.

I sent everyone to the pool where there are multiple showers and toilets.


Cutie: "Why is there a grave here?"

Phil: "Dunno. Maybe a warning to not swim for an hour after eating?"


"I guess this is as good a place as any to do homework."

"Suit yourself, sis. I'm going to check out those shower-things. I hear they get you clean quickly and might even have hot water!"


Of course the kids that swim choose to crowd into the small pool.


"I'm telling you, I get a really creepy vibe from the big pool. You couldn't pay me to go in there."


"Derrrrrrrr, what was I doing?"


"Hurry up and make those waffles, kid! I'm fucking starving to death over here."

You're already dead.

"And that's how serious it is, you shitwit."


Fear not, dumb-asses one and all, cake is coming.

Sunkist: "What is up with the green mist everywhere? I know this place is haunted, is it poltergeists?"

I'm so sad I'm not going to see you grow up, Sunkist.


"Hey! My trait says I like to make things. Can I get the thing to make all the things with?"


She rolled "savvy sculptor" so I bought the sculpting station as it's the only object that will allow her to work on the skill. She didn't use it once. She also never touched the guitar in her inventory, my only virtuoso to refuse.


"Well, I WAS sleeping."


"Man, you go to a friend's house one time."


"What is going on with you, Cutie?"

"I don't know, Dad. I'm so friggin' tired I can't even see straight."


"Me too. Let's just go to bed."

"Okay."


"This bed looks comfy. I think I'll sleep here."


"What in the world? DAD!!!  What the hell are you doing? Where am I supposed to sleep?"


"I'm telling you, Annoying, Dad is losing his mind. He slept in MY bed last night! I had to nap on the couch!"

"Maybe he and Mom are fighting."


"Hmmmm. Maybe. Mom's hardly ever home, though. Ever since Sunkist's birthday she's never here when we get home from school. Sometimes she comes home right before I go to bed, but I almost never see her nowadays. I don't know when they'd have time to fight."

"Then I don't know what to tell you, sis."

Panther spends every waking moment at the library, desperately trying to get in enough writing. She's maxed the skill, she just needs to finish two, possibly one but most likely, two more books. It's going to be really tight.


LOL! Apparently ghosts don't skate, they just run around the rink.

Also, nice of you to skate with your baby sister, Cheeto.

"Shhhhhh, don't tell anybody!!"


"I do so have skates! I just haven't caught up to them, yet."


"Oh come on, Sunkist! You don't have to do everything I do!"

"I'm just trying to win some dogs, man. I'm getting really tired of juice and burnt muffins."


"You can stop now, Sunkist. I won."

"Mmmmmph, don't care, still hungry."


"I can't believe we have hot dogs! How did we get these? Nevermind, I don't care."


Kristin: "Finally! Last party and this challenge is over!"


"PANTHER!! Wake up, girl! Look alive! Come on, one more lap and we're done!"


Onyx cares, so that's nice.


"I'm coming, I'm coming. Man, I stink!"

Yeah, I let all her motives fall in an attempt to complete her LTW. She needed to finish this last book, she was only a couple hundred dollars short. But it just didn't happen. She ran out of time. I blame Sunkist.


Here he is, the first young adult of Generation Seven! He rolled 'friendly' for his trait, and his LTW is Leader of the Free World.



*sigh* Three-hundred more simoleons.



They racked up quite a bit of cash for a family of people that had trouble reaching the top of their careers.
                                  
                            

So as a bonus, since I cheated him twice, here's Cheeto as an adult. I saved the whole family and put them in another game I'm playing. Just in town, I'm not playing them anymore.


He's an unflirty loner who can't stand art, he's friendly, and he loves horses.
