"I just don't get it, man! I thought we had something special. He told me that he would take care of me. That I was a 'real spitfire of a girl'. Why would he suddenly dump me for someone else?"
"He used to date your mother, Sunny. Don't you think that's kind of creepy?"
"I don't know. Mom's a raging bitch, so maybe Rodolfo dumped her because she was so awful."
"Hmmmmm, how about that?"
"What are you suggesting?"
"I'm not suggesting anything."
"I am NOTHING like my mother!"
"Of course you're not."
Good ol' Trent, dealing with his second generation of Hoggle family drama.
Why are Trent and Sunny here, taking up valuable couch real estate? Last chapter brought us triplets, birthdays, pee fails, complete idiocy, triplets, and more birthdays. Pickle is now a teenager! Time to help take care of 'dem babez, girl.
"Can you at least give me a hairdo that isn't my grandmother's?"
She is now a slob who loves music, hates technology, and doesn't believe in vampires, witches, fairies, any of that supernatural nonsense.
Jordan goes back to work for the first time in many years. I swear, she works at the mausoleum, as "Overseer of the Dead" or some such shit.
See? It's right there! She's not a call-girl, I swear.
"I don't understand why my work outfit is such a big deal."
"Hmmm, I suddenly forgot why I came in here."
"What the freakin'!?"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why don't you knock before going into the bathroom?"
"What's wrong with me?? What the fuck is wrong with you? NO ONE knocks before going into the bathroom. I don't even think that's a thing!"
Same argument, different generation.
"And now you made me forget where I was going! Why am I even wearing this hideous outfit when all I'm going to do is watch tv all night?"
Sure, fine, skip work. It's not like you need the money or anything.
Speaking of work.
So much for that lifetime wish. I guess the warehouse wasn't glamorous enough for someone of her star quality.
"I'm an adult-adult now, why do I have my teenage hair, again?"
Ugh, no.
"I look like I'm 14."
No you don't.
Oh whatever!
The next day is the triplets' child birthday.
Again, no party, and I'm caking them one at a time in a effort to ward off any lurking crashes.
"I'm all derpy."
Hold on, Hulkie. Some dipshit is having a relationship crisis that's distracting me.
What?
What the crap, Rodolfo? I thought you two got married.
"We did. But apparently you're not supposed to diddle other chicks when you're married."
So you stopped diddling?
"No, I stopped being married."
"Hey! What about me?"
Sorry. All of the triplets can pee and poop in a toilet, but none of them can walk or talk. As a result, Hulk is now a rebel.
"Heh-heh, you installed Generations just in time!"
"What about me? What did I get?"
Hang on, Dewie. (And don't worry, I give Dewie his proper hair back)
LOL! You go girl! Stick it to the pathetic old pyro.
Alright, Dewie is now shy. Daw.
Okay, Yoda. Cross your fingers, we're going to see if we can get your coloring up to speed without crashing. But first,
Rodolfo gets back at Stacey by nailing some old chick who has got to be senile by now, as I don't believe that any woman with half her wits about her would date this loser.
"So who is this Rodolfo guy, and why is he more important that my new trait, and my freshly dyed hair, that didn't crash the game?"
Keeping tabs on the town whore/pyro that your Grandmother and Aunt used to date is fun for me, Yoda. Get over it.
"Used to date?"
Dammit, Sunny!
"Pfffft, your pathetic Aunt can have the old bastard. He's all saggy and gross, now. Not to mention that he was never that great in bed in the first place."
"You don't have a filter at all, do you, Granny?"
"You're a little smart ass."
"Genius-ass, thank you."
Look! Biggie is painting again! He's way behind on his LTW. I really like Pickle and kind of want her for heir, but I don't know if Biggie can make it before she graduates.
"Hey Russell, guess what?"
"What's up, Dewie?"
"My granny Sky's ghost fell asleep in one of our beds, so the last one of us to decide to go to sleep is shit out of luck!"
"LOL! That's just annoying! Good luck with the bed lottery, man!"
"Thanks!"
"*yawn*, Am I tired! It's really late, I guess I should go to bed."
Or not.
You're killing me, Sky. Killing. Me.
Don't do it, Sunny! He's a diddler!!
"How about now? Can I woohoo now?"
No.
"But you said in seven years! The triplets are seven, now!"
Not only is Biggie got some LTW catching up to do, but it's Oscar's birthday. The guests are arriving.
"Alright, FINE. But I'm NOT going to cheer. I'm going to sit here and watch tv."
Kind of an asshole move, Jordan, but whatever frosts your cake.
Hulk: "Man, I am SO tired!"
"You think you're tired, Hulkie? I had to sleep on the couch last night! I'm freakin' exhausted!!"
"Oh man, I don't think I'm gonna make it."
Hang in there, Oscar! You already blew out the candles, you just have to sparkle. Do NOT fail on me, kid!
He's now a friendly, disciplined guy who likes to be alone, and is very observant.
"I'm going to bed."
When he's not about to pass out, that is. DID NO ONE GET ANY SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
Dewie: "I slept fine, but I'm kinda starving here, and since cakes are black holes of routing failure, I've got my eye on that roasted turkey somebody brought."
It's turSOYkey, by the way.
"Are you kidding? Is that even legal?"
Poor Dewie.
He didn't even make it out of the kitchen.
"ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzI'm not passed out!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Look, my eyes are open!zzzzzzzzzzzZ"
Creepy and lost me points. You're not my favorite, Oscar.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh well zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ"
"So. Who are you, again?"
"I'm Trent. I went to school with Pinky, remember? I came here after school with her a bunch of times."
"OH! Right. You're that fat kid who was her only friend in high school."
"*sigh* Yup. That was me."
"Do you still talk to her?"
"Nope."
"Me either. She turned out exactly like I thought she would."
"Mmhmm."
"It's almost midnight. When are you leaving?"
"You really don't like having people over, do you."
"I don't even like the people that live here."
"I can tell."
"................................................................................"
"................................................................................"
"You're alright, Travis."
"Trent."
"Whatever."
Trent finally left around 3am, and we finished the party on a high note,
"Heh, guess what, honey?"
"You finally dumped that piece of shit pyromaniac you were dating?"
"Uhhhh, no."
Keep some fire extinguishers handy, Jacqueline. And Sunny, I hope you have a pre-nup.
"What's a nup?"
...........................................................
"I'M STARVING, AND I'M STANDING IN STINK!!"
"I know the feeling, Pickle."
"Dewie, do you know why there are gross, filthy clothes all over the house? We have a washer, I've seen it on the patio. Why is this place so disgusting?"
"I don't know, sis. Maybe all the grownups are too stupid to use a washer without someone standing right there, holding their hand and coaching them through it."
I finally sold the washer and dryer. No one ever did laundry unless Biggie wished for it and I made him. But every single person in the house has the "clean clothes" and "clean sheets" moodlets, and they stay in the green for hygiene so long as they change their clothes once in awhile. So no more laundry piles (I deleted them all using testing-cheats). I'm curious to see if their hygiene will go back to normal, forcing them to use the tub, which will make the pee fails pile up.
"Yay! No more stink piles!"
"But................hold on. 'Pee fails'? What are pee fails?"
Oh, you're gonna find out.
"I'm a little apprehensive."
Hulk: "Dude, give the $5 words a rest and help me out here!"
"What do you need?"
"I have to write a paper on Australia. What happened to the munchkins, and flying monkeys?"
"Hulk, what are you talking about?"
"Australia is Oz. They musta changed the name at some point. And Oz had munchkins and flying monkeys. So does Australia still have that stuff or did they all go extinct or something."
"*sigh* Australia is called Oz because it sounds like Aus, A-U-S, the first three letters in Australia. It's got nothing to do with Oz from 'The Wizard of Oz'."
"Then why did Dorothy have to go there?"
"Dorothy never went to Australia."
"Then where'd she go?"
"Oz is a fictional place, Hulk. It's not real."
"But Kansas is real."
"Yeah."
".......................................................... The flying monkeys went extinct, Hulk."
"I knew it!! What happened?"
"Aliens."
"ALIENS? You mean just like the dinosaurs?"
"Yup. Just like the dinosaurs."
"Kewl!"
"Hulkie, stop being so gullible! And Dewie, don't give up on him like that! It's not his fault."
"I ain't a gull!"
"It's not like I didn't try, Yoda."
"Gullible isn't the bird, Hulk, go look it up. I know you try, Dewie, but sometimes you gotta try harder!"
"And sometimes it's like nailing jello to a tree."
"Trees like jello, too?"
"Yeah, Hulk, but only lime."
"Oh."
"DEWIE!!"
And that concludes this podcast of "Homework With The Triplets".
Where are you going, all dressed up?
"Prom!"
My first Sims prom.
You look very nice, too, Oscar.
"You forgot to check my shoes!"
What?
Oh yeah. Look at that. Meh.
"He looks like a Christmas elf."
"Now Oscar, about th...."
"Hulk."
"What?"
"I'm Hulk, not Oscar. Oscar just went to Prom with Pickle."
"Oh....................................like it matters. Fine. Hulk. I noticed that you brought a little girlfriend home with you from school."
"Beky?"
"Sure, Beky. Now, I expect you............"
"Oh COME ON, GRANNY!!"
"Beky is NOT my girlfriend! Why do people keep saying that?"
"Oh for fuck's sake, kid. What difference does it make? She's a girl, she's your friend. It's not worth getting your knickers all in a twist over."
"My knickers are not twisted! .............................................................What's a knicker?"
"Your underwear. Damn, you do take after your grandfather."
"I'm not talking to you anymore, Granny. You're not nice."
"Whatever, Huck."
"HULK!!"
"Yeah, okay. And clean up after your little girlfriend. I hate having people over."
"ARGH!!"
"Why you gotta sit with us, Granny?"
"I thought you weren't speaking to me?"
"Granny!"
"Unclench, Huck. I want to watch tv and there's nowhere else to sit."
"I am not clenched! And my name is HULK! H.u.L.k. Not Huck, HULK!!"
"I liked you a lot more when you weren't talking to me."
Rebekah: "I don't suppose it's ten o'clock?"
"I hate you, Granny."
Careful, Hulkie, she loves it when people say that.
Let's touch on the Prom highlights, shall we?
Not one clue who Lane even is.
Yay, Pickle!
Don't tell Hulk. Or Dewie. Cause Dewie will tell Hulk. And make up some grandiose story to pass along as 'fact'. Then Yoda will really have her work cut out for her.
For a friendly sim, Oscar's kind of an asshole. Three fights in one night. Alright, supposedly one of them is not his fault, but picking on the school nerd? Shit move, Oscar.
In other news.....
One down! Now he's got about 5 or 6 guitar levels to catch up on. Get crackin', Biggie!
Here's Pickle's prom picture, and her crown.
And Oscar's picture. I keep this stuff long enough to take a picture, then it gets sold. It's a little sad but they aren't supposed to have anything that boosts the room's environment rating.
Pickle, what are you doing?
"Who? Me? Oh, nothin'."
LOL! Autonomous pranks. I thought for sure Hulk would set one first, being rebellious and all. But Pickle beat him to it.
This one sat for awhile. No one ever uses this sink.
So I sent Biggie to the party/wedding pavilion to play guitar, and get out of the house, and guess who showed up?
Sky!! I've seen ghosts float to the house next door, but never way across town. How did you get here?
"I took a cab."
"Hmmmm, ghost chick."
"Hey lady, Are you a ghost? Cause I'd like to get under your sheets! Heheh, get it? Under your sheets? Ghost?"
"*sniff* You stink."
In oh so many ways.
"You're haunting my dreams!"
"You're an idiot."
"Woohoo?"
"Over your dead body."
Go home, Rodolfo, and quit hitting on your wife's grandmother.
Uh, Pickle?
"Shhhhh. No one ever uses the bathroom sink, so I'm pranking this one."
Uh, Pickle?
"What??"
Your mother is right.there.
"Right where?"
"Pickle, what did you do to the sink?"
"Sink? What sink?"
"'What sink?' The one right behind you! I saw you, Pickle. You rigged that sink to do something."
"It's just a joke! God, get a sense of humor!"
Jordan was not interested in a sense of humor at this time.
"Hmph. I'll show her."
What I find funny is Jordan reaming Pickle out for setting up a prank, but not making her take it down. The sink is still locked and loaded, ready for the next poor sim to wash a dish.
"That was some damn good parenting. Woohoo now?"
If I say yes, will you promise to shut up about it for a little while?
"I promise to take your request under consideration."
"You remember how to do this?"
"We're gonna find out!"
He remembers.
"The dishes are really starting to pile up. Better wash 'em before I hit the block table."
No Dewie! Don't do it!
"AAAHHHWHATTHEFUCK???"
"HOW DO YOU TURN THIS DAMN THING OFF?"
"Somebody's gonna pay."
Poor Dewie.
"And then, the haunted sink EXPLODED in the innocent, little boy's face, soaking him and his creepy owl sweater!"
Bubbie: "Wow! That really was a good story."
Hulk: "Did that actually happen? It sounds so real, and soooo cool!"
Dewie: "Just for that, I'm gonna eat the last piece of cake. Y'all can survive on soggy cereal and burnt waffles."
Look at this little cutie! I can't remember where I saw him but he caught my eye as he looks just like Sky. This is Nicky, Pepto's grandson via Geneva.
Because passing out wasn't enough for him.
"Oh Oscar, how could you?"
"Great. How am I supposed to get to my bedroom without walking through that mess?"
Oscar: "...................................................................................................................."
Et tu, Hulk?
"It looked like fun when Oscar did it."
What the hell, Yoda! You are in the bathroom!!
"I was dirty! I had to take a bath first!"
She's the reason the other two peed themselves.
AGAIN?!?
"It's not my fault! First Yoda was in the bathroom, now Dad's in there."
"Woohoo now?"
Dammit Jordan, I'll bet you didn't consider my request at all.
"You're right, I didn't."
Coming up next chapter, I'm not altogether sure. We're almost caught up to where I am in the game. I do know two things, the triplets' teen birthday is no less dramarific than their previous birthdays, and Generations goes belly up. I finally enjoy playing it, but my computer has a very different opinion (and the final vote, unfortunately).
Points
Can roll for a trait: +10 (Pickle and Oscar)
TH maxes a skill: +2 (painting)
Passouts: -5 (Oscar)
Pee fails: -20 (Yoda, Hulk, and Oscar x2)
Previous Score: +133
Current Score: +120
"Twenty points in pee fails? That stinks!"
And exactly what I thought would happen once I deleted the washer and dryer. Ugh.
