What followed last week’s update was a lot of birthdays.
So many birthdays that the entire family ate leftover birthday cake, breakfast lunch and dinner, for days.
A representative bit of chaos at the dinner table.
There wasn’t enough room upstairs for everyone, so I set up a barracks in the basement.
More birthdays, and more cake!
Rielle got the best combination of outfit and haircut at her teenage birthday.
To my surprise, most of the kids spontaneously do their homework as soon as they got home from school.
By the time everyone was in the child stage, Klango and Quimby had free time on their hands when the kids were in school. I decided to have Klango max out all of his skills. Here, he’s upgrading the tub.
So far I have maxed out his Athletic, Cooking, Fishing, Gardening, Handiness, Logic, Painting, Writing, and Martial Arts skill. I think Photography will be next.
Not sure which of the kids painted this one. Somewhat disturbing.
And then it was the Final Birthday for Randy and Rihanna! Once they aged into Young Adult, I moved them out and phoned the adoption agency.
Meet baby girl River. “Oh crap,” Klango might be wondering, “Where did all the cribs go?”
I built a sub-basement (which they can’t access) for storage. No point re-buying a thousand cribs over the next few weeks!
And just in time for baby boy Ross.
One benefit to the conveyor belt of children: free teenage in-home child care!
Thats exactly what my mom does to me with the teenage home service thing… Only not so many kids. She only has 3 including me haha! (but my lil sis is so hyper she is equal to about 5 kids all by herself.)
If you go into buy mode there’s a an icon of a storage box – you can put anything in there that you’re not presently using for storage purposes and not spend money on making a secret bunker warehouse.
I don’t know if there’s size of item limit, but you could also try buying one of the WA chests. I collect up all my perfect veggies and fishes in there until I need them for something, as well as travel gear – tent, freeze dried food, shower in a can etc. So I’m not having to scroll through all of that every time I am looking through my inventory.
Why am I not this organized at home?
I want to see a screen shot of the family tree.
My serial killer sim brought home a girl the other day. She jogged past him when he was picking veggies next to a lake somewhere.
I had him ask her to move in, and she accepted, even tho she’s married (err…was) and had a kid.
Surprisingly, after she moved in with serial killer sim and his parents, she struck up a relationship with serial killer’s brother, (He’s an Emperor of Evil) and was married within minutes of meeting him. Pregnant within minutes after that.
I’m not sure I want the Emperor of Evil to also become a serial killer too. I might just have him divorce her and kick her out once the kid is born. (EofE has 3 other kids, one is dead, and he’s never lived with any of his kids)
This sub basement idea is giving me an idea. If I build a sub basement, and put a sim in there, and then take out the stairs, will they stay there? I could leave them a crappy refrigerator, a shower and a toilet…have to see what happens if I dont provide a bed. I might provide a candle for light. (ok, I’m starting to wonder where these ideas are coming from…bit disturbing how fun it is to torture sims)
ok, I tried it. I put a sim in a sub basement and starved her to death. (serial killer sim was in there eating apples the whole time)
She starved, the serial killer sim started crying, the Grim Reaper came and talked to her for a second and then told her that her misfortune amuses him and he would let her live for now and come back for her later.
That was funny!
and I’m just evil…
You can put stuffed animals _in_ the cribs? Awesome! I had no idea.
I think I’ll have to go buy the toddler in my game some toys to put in the crib. Maybe the kid would do more than just lay there pooping.
I learned a lot about Sims 3 last night. I learned that you can starve your own sims to death if you trap them inside a basement room with no way out. I learned that you can trap a non-playing sim in a room, and starve them, but at some point the game will freak out and your potential murder victim will just stand there going “eww! whew!” from being so smelly from being trapped underground for four days and you’ll have to resetsim to get rid of them. (darnit! I guess I’ll have to buy a nice stove for the underground room)
Today, I have finished reading a blog, read another one from start to finished, and finished watching a YouTube channel. And now I have absolutely nothing to do for the next week of my holidays except homework and ironing. But I’ve had fun! Your blog is interesting.
