Sims Sunday: Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful green-skinned princess on an alien planet.

(Well… every princess is beautiful on the inside.)

She had a beautiful fairytale bedroom, as befitting a princess.

And like all good and true princesses, she did her homework every night. Even when it was hard.

At night, she dreamed of fishing.

And in the mornings, she raced to catch the bus for school.

She nominated this man for the “Worst Outfit At My Birthday Party” award.

And she tried not to notice when her father went nude, as he sometimes did, for no apparent reason.

P.S. where exactly do Sims keep their cell phones? Here’s a hint.

Since Princess Idris was doing well in school, and because every princess should not bother loitering around waiting for a prince to show up on his shining white steed, I made her a shining white steed of her own. Meet Rocket, an Andalusian stallion.

While Princess Idris was in school, Rocket puttered around getting used to his new home. He begged for carrots from the maid.

He munched on hay which Bella Goth pitchforked out for him. (For reasons unknown, Sim horses are unable to eat directly from haystacks.)

And he taught himself the basics of jumping on the cavaletti trainers.

When Princess Idris came home from school, it was love at first sight.

Although she was a little bit terrified for her first horseback ride, she stuck it out.

Together they rode as high into the lunar canyons as they possibly could.

And on the way home, Princess Idris was terrified all over again when Rocket broke into a trot for the first time.

But she hung in there, like a brave princess should.

It’s good that Princess Idris has Rocket to keep her busy, as her parents have begun to bicker. (Rumor has it that Bella Goth was caught cheating on Hart with his brother Hoisin, although if it really happened, I didn’t spot it.)
