After what seemed like an eternity (but let me crank out a lot of yardage on my sock knitting project) Butters finally discovered the Young Again potion.
Drinking this potion kicks a Sim back to the beginning of the Young Adult life stage.
Well hellooooooo, nurse! (I gave him a mustache to celebrate the occasion.)
I was getting pretty bored, so I had a crazy idea: to make The Biggest House. I sold all of their stuff, moved them to the largest lot in town, and roughed out the largest house possible in Appaloosa Springs.
It’s 48×48 (on a 50×50 lot), 5 stories above ground, and 3 sub-basements. The challenge is to fill all of this space with a dense network of rooms and twisty little passages all alike.
I decided to make one room every Sim day. I started with their bedroom.
And the guest bedroom. Originally this was going to be for the butler, but for some reason we lost her in the move. Anyway, the room is ringed with pink flamingos because AWESOME.
We’re still working on getting an heir, though, so Butters and Denise had to get busy. Soon their cavernous empty home rang with the sound of morning sickness.
“I’m a raccoon!”
A few days later they brought home their new daughter… um, actually, I totally forgot her name. (And doesn’t Denise look thrilled?)
There she is, that cute little girl! Oh… you!
Meanwhile I built out the kitchen. (Dizzying!)
And the dining room.
A nursery, with capacity for six babies and toddlers.
The Forgotten One grew up with the wrong hair. So close.
Time for more babies! Here they are bringing home two girls: Clarice and Corner Office.
Meanwhile I built a toddler playroom.
And a formal library.
And the Grand Entrance.
And a movie theater.
Corner office: right eyes, wrong hair.
Clarice: wrong hair and eyes.
COME ON SERIOUSLY.
Sigh.
I built a computer lab. Each computer’s screen is visible, either through the big glass wall or reflected in the mirror wall. I mean hey, there are kids in the house!
(Sims can’t actually do anything salacious on the computer. It just amused me.)
And this may all sound like a lot of rooms, but the main floor is still mostly empty.
Time for more babies!
It’s twins! I forgot their names, too. Wow, I suck.
It doesn’t matter, though. They both failed.
Right hair, wrong eyes.
Right eyes, wrong hair. ARGH.
Gee whiz. How much money does this family have?
And how long until someone gets completely lost inside the house? :B
I was surprised how affordable it was! The lot cost $15,000 and the house itself so far is only worth about $250,000 furnished!
My Sims Advac and Averise have a similar house on a smaller lot with a huge air plane in the backyard. Yet all they want to do is leave the house.
What happened to all the previous rejects? Did they get lost in the move too? Are they even now bawling at your poor butler somewhere? I think we should be told.
Love the crown in the bedroom. Who gets to wear it, and why?
Do you suppose Denise ever gets frightened by the size of the nursery? (“We have such plans for you, my dear…”)
Is this like a duggar challenge?
I’m playing along with you. I received an Alien Baby right when you started and I just had to keep that going. That’s right, I’m rocking Sims2.
Generation one was fine. Generation two is killing me. I can’t wait to use the line breeding available to me in Sims2. Cheating, maybe, but I can’t wait.
Is that your great great uncle? Who cares. Breed! He has the right eyes.
Dammit, where’s the ‘like’ button? lol I’m dyig at the duggar and line breeding comments
(I gave him a mustache to celebrate the occasion.)
Just wanted you to know that the coffee I just snorted up my nose is really painful. And it’s your. fault.
How many generations are you supposed to get? This could take forever!
Ugh, I know, right? It’s supposed to be 10 generations, but at this rate, I don’t know if I can stand it!
And yeah, it IS kinda turning out to be a Duggar challenge!
Wow, I guess I’m doing better than you, because I’m on generation 4. My line founder was Violet Violet, and her son Aaron sired Barret who has sired Christine (and Chandra, and Chump). Christine is the heir, however, and she’s just become a young adult and is on a date with the man I want her to marry and breed with. I’ve decided that spouses and non-heirs can move out, but heirs have to live a full, natural life, which so far is taking FOREVER and driving me nuts.
You’re way ahead of me! I think it’s pretty rare to have THIS MANY kids without one of them being the heir! Srsly, argh!
