Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 8
The birthday continues! Most of the family have appointments to attend afterwards leaving Savannah and Viola under the care of nana Lavina. I mean it's not like she could be any worse than Alana the (insert your favourite swear word for mean nanny)
Tumblr media
BTW it was daylight savings here so that's why my posts may seem an hour shifted for you...
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Mercedes: Hey nana
Lavina: Happy birthday kiddo
Mercedes: I have bad news, papa went to the doctor and they found out he’s sick
Lavina: What? Oh why didn’t he tell me? I can’t lose him
Mercedes: Kidding!
Lavina: That’s not very funny young lady
Bizarre thing happened. Mercedes had rolled a like of deception but after this got a prompt saying she felt mischief was wrong? I like the game to have some say so while I did not add a dislike of mischief I changed her like of deception to silly behaviour to match her sister.
Tumblr media
Milton: Oh hey you have cake
Savannah: Of course Milton, it’s a birthday party
Milton: That’s uncle Milton to you
Savannah: Mama do we really have to call him uncle? He’s only 2 years older than us
Cassandra: It’s important to be polite to family honeybee
Lavina: And respectful! You girls could learn more respect
Mercedes: *sighs* It was one joke nana
Cassandra: Lavina I have an appointment and Rahul needs to take Mercedes to one. Could you watch the kids for us please?
Savannah: I can watch the house mama
Lavina: Of course I can dear, take all the time you need
Tumblr media
Savannah: But nana I can do it
Lavina: You’re six, you couldn’t take care of a fire. Now I hear your sister crying, go play outside or learn something
Savannah: Oh maybe I can find some cool bugs!
Lavina: Just don’t bring them into the house
Poor Viola has been trying to get to sleep but is still a bit overwhelmed by the party.
Lavina: Now what’s all this? You are making a habit of crying every time you see me Viola
Viola: *cries* ge da noo lu (I'm so tired, clapping took it out of me)
Lavina: Is nana scary huh? Big bad nana. Close your eyes and sleep, big bad nana can defend your crib from the monsters huh
Following some soothing Viola does manage to fall asleep as Lavina watches over her.
Tumblr media
Outside Savannah isn’t having much luck. But around by the garden she spots some locusts, perfect, papa will approve of catching them! She grabs at them and manages to get hold of 2. Perhaps she can convince mama and papa to take her and Mercedes to Granite Falls so she can find more! Back inside she decides to tackle some homework.
Milton: Why are you holding your pencil like that
Savannah: Like what
Alexander: Don’t be rude Milton, not everyone does things the same way
Tumblr media
Milton: Did you never use crayons
Savannah: *gruffly* I have a motor delay actually, pencils are hard
Milton: Oh, sorry
Alexander: That’ll teach you not to be rude
Savannah: I think I’ll go see if mama is back
Milton: I am sorry!
...
Cassandra is pumping in the spare room when Savannah finds her.
Savannah: Mama, can I still go to OT now I’m a child
Cassandra: Of course you can honeybee. It might be called something different but any support you need, we’ll find for you
Tumblr media
Savannah: Then Uncle Alexander told him off
Mercedes: Nice!
Savannah: So what did the brain doctor say
Mercedes: They want me to do… Papa how did they say it?
Rahul: Your sister is getting referred to another type of doctor to see if she needs extra help at school
Mercedes: Can I not go to school?
Rahul: No! Whatever you need we can sort but you’ll be best having your first day with your sister
Savannah: Yeah. You don’t want to leave me alone do you? We do everything together
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Except OT and word class
Cassandra brings Viola to the table and the family begin eating. For some reason everyone is migrating away from Viola?
Mercedes: Mama did your point tent (appointment) go okay
Cassandra: Apparently I have ADHD which I guess is a bit of a surprise but I’ll be fine. Everybody’s brain has to work in its own way
Rahul: Exactly! Now Viola, how about some peanut butter puffs? Nice and yummy
Viola looks at her papa, confused. Why is what he holding bigger than the things on the plate? It can’t just be her eyesight playing up, can it?
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama, can we have a trip to Granite Falls? I’d love to see some more bugs
Cassandra: Actually papa and I have been talking and we’d like you two to join scouts
Mercedes: Scouts? Why
Rahul: Nature is important to us, we want you both to learn to love it
Cassandra: Plus it will leave after school times free for OT and word class
The girls remain skeptical but agree. Meanwhile Viola is unsure about the taste of peanut butter puffs (and their creepy resemblance to banana once she picks them up) but one thing is for sure, they are fun to play with!
Tumblr media
Savannah: Do we have to go to bed mama
Cassandra: It’s getting late honeybee, and don’t you want to check out the new bunk beds
Mercedes: I call dibs on the bottom one! That way you can still tuck me in mama
Cassandra: *smiles* alright but we need to clean up dinner first
Savannah: I got the plates
Cassandra: Mercedes could you put the leftovers away before they spoil please
Mercedes: Yes mama
Tumblr media
Rahul: How do you two like the bunks
Savannah: It’s great papa. I can be up high just like butterflies are
Rahul: Good night rugrats, I love you two
Twins: Goodnight papa
Savannah climbs up to the top and snuggles in while Cassandra tucks Mercedes in.
Cassandra: Goodnight Mercedes. I love you both, have good dreams
Twins: Love you mama

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 4
The baby shower continues, Lavina pops by and celebrates her birthday, then it's hospital time!
Tumblr media
James: I know you have most of the stuff from your first two but Alexander and I wanted to get you a little something
Rahul: Oh James, you shouldn’t have
James: Nonsense. Can’t take the money with me. I know Dina is still being territorial about the Goth capital and I thought you two, sorry you five, deserved a bit of cushioning while you’ll be on family leave
Cassandra: Come inside, I’ve missed you lot
Charlie: Thanks for letting us bring Clover
Cassandra: We have so many animals here, what’s an extra good dog
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I don’t understand why everything is so much more swollen this time
Devin: This is why you don’t get pregnant, right Charlie?
Charlie: Amen to that
Luna: I got quite big with the boys but luckily it seems to disappear pretty quickly after birth
Charlie: Yeah you are not changing my mind Luna
Devin: What are you making
Rahul: It’s meant to be cereal marshmallow squares but I think something went wrong
Devin: This is why I cook and Luna handles the baking. Anyway, do you two have some name ideas
Tumblr media
Savannah notices Milton is feeling sad. She goes over and sits near him.
Savannah: Milton, I sorry
Milton: Huh
Savannah: I sorry I ask for password
Milton: Oh, no it’s fine Savannah, I’m not upset about that
Savannah: Uncle want some funny faces
Milton: It couldn’t hurt
Meanwhile Mercedes has again conned Alexander in to roughhouse play. She can’t do it with Cassandra while she’s pregnant so is getting in what she can with the visitors.
Lavina: I’m here! Sorry I’m late, traffic
Tumblr media
Milton: What are you doing
Mercedes: Dancing. I good
Milton: I bet you’re excited about the new baby huh? Even though you’re still a baby, look at those cheeks
Milton leans forward to pinch them but Mercedes is too quick. Rather than her being pinched, Milton ends up with his fingers bitten. All the adults are too busy to notice so no one gets told off.
Tumblr media
Lavina: How’s my brilliant grandbaby? Shall we practice some flashcards
Cassandra: She’s working on her numbers
Lavina: Oh how clever
Mercedes: *pouts*
Cassandra: Mercedes is getting better with her talking, she’s learning animals
Lavina: That's nice dear. Okay Savannah, what number is this
Savannah: Three!
Lavina: And this one
Savannah tries to peek around the card but Lavina tells her not to cheat.
Tumblr media
With the baby shower over the twins get sandwiches while Rahul presents his mother with a cake.
Lavina: What is this
Rahul: You didn’t think I’d forget you turning 65 did you
Lavina: *scoffs* you needn’t say it quite so loud dear
Cassandra: It’s okay Lavina, we’re all family
Savannah: CAKE
Cassandra: No honeybee, you eat your sandwich
Lavina: Guess there’s no avoiding it. Here’s to elderhood!
Tumblr media
Rahul attends to some chores while Cassandra has a much needed nap and the girls play outside.
Lavina: What are you doing in there
Savannah: Playing
Lavina: You don’t want to learn
Savannah: Play is learn-ding
Lavina: I see, okay dear, carry on
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Nana, nana
Lavina: *sighs* yes dear, what is it
Mercedes: I learn words
Lavina: You mean learned. You learned words. And if you got that sentence wrong I do wonder
Mercedes gets mad and hits Lavina
Mercedes: I do learn nana
Lavina: Go away and hit something else, I’m not talking to you if you’re going to be like that
Tumblr media
Cassandra wakes up and gets the two girls into their high chairs
Cassandra: Let’s see, how hungry are we
The girls aren’t overly hungry as they had sandwiches not long ago but Cassandra gets them milk to drink while she has dinner.
Mercedes: Mama, nana mean, she not like me
Cassandra: I’m sure she likes you
Savannah: Nana talk to me but not Mercedes
Cassandra: Really? Well I’ll talk to nana about it okay darlings, can’t have any sad faces here
Mercedes: Mama when baby here, where we
Cassandra: You’ll keep your room
Savannah: What about when baby coming
Cassandra: Oh! Okay when papa and I head to the hospital, Uncle Alexander will look after you
Mercedes: You be long
Cassandra: I hope not ladybug
Tumblr media
Rahul: Bedtime I think
Mercedes: Papa I made yuck
Rahul: *sighs* come with me then
Mercedes: Papa, why table move
Rahul: Because the baby will need it more than you and your sister, so it’s back here in the nursery
Mercedes: Baby like me and Savannah
Rahul: I hope so, but it’s hard for babies to communicate ladybug, they might not seem like they do at first
Mercedes: Papa have time for story
Rahul: Absolutely, come on
Tumblr media
Rahul reads Mercedes to sleep, Savannah took herself to the potty and climbed in bed while Mercedes was getting changed. Cassandra needs to lie down but once both girls are in bed she can’t help herself. She gets up, waddles across the house, and kisses them each goodnight.
Tumblr media
Mr Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye, IT'S TIME
Cassandra: The coop is further away and he still manages to- AH dear watcher
Rahul: Does that mean what I think it means? Is the baby ready?
Cassandra: Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re ready to come out
Rahul: Okay, you get to the cars and we’ll drop the girls at your brothers on the way
Hospital time!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Where is Dr Eriksson?
Rahul: The nurse said she’s not here at the moment but don’t worry, she could still show up
Cassandra: Can you help me? My lower back is killing me
The couple move over to the exercise ball and Rahul sets about trying to massage some of Cassandra’s pain away. He’s not very successful though.
Cassandra: Rahul, for the love of the watcher, please go shave that beard, it’s stressing me out
Rahul: Right away my darling
Cassandra stands and her water breaks dramatically over the floor.
Tumblr media
Cassandra mopes sadly on the bed while Rahul is busy.
Dr E: Did someone call for a doctor
Cassandra: Thank goodness, I really need some painkillers
Dr E: No problem dear. Turn around and we’ll give you the epidural. Remember it takes a while to kick in
Cassandra: But then we can do the c-section
Dr E: Absolutely. Now if anything feels off, tell me right away
Tumblr media
?: Oh my, Mrs Chopra, can I have an autograph
Dr E: Not now dear
Rahul: Who’s this
Dr E: My husband, the other Dr Eriksson. I’m afraid he’s a fan and often has no bedside manner
Cassandra: Look, I’m really not in any state to give autographs right now
Rahul: You heard my wife. If you’re not here to help with the birth, please leave us in peace
Tumblr media
Dr E: I am so sorry about him, believe me we’ll be having words
Cassandra: I think I just need to do some breathing while the epidural gets started
Rahul: Does everything look okay Dr Eriksson
Dr E: Oh yes Mr Chopra, nothing to indicate any problems
Rahul: We’ve just noticed Cassandra has put on more weight than she did with the twins
Dr E: Pregnancies are never exactly the same. I believe you get quite a lot of milk in Mrs Chopra
Cassandra: I did last time, but it took a while
Dr E: Your body is likely getting ready in advance. Now how’s the pain
Cassandra: I think I’m ready
Dr E: Brilliant. You two know the way, I'll be there once I've scrubbed up
Tumblr media
Dr E: Remember, feeling pressure is normal but if you feel pain let me know, we can adjust the meds
Cassandra: Well big guy, here we go again
Rahul: Do you know how wonderful you are
Cassandra: I don’t but I do have this husband who tells me such things
Rahul: Looks like she’s almost there, how are you doing
Cassandra: Hanging in here
Dr E: One more cut and we can meet them
Tumblr media
Dr E: Congratulations, a healthy baby girl
Cassandra: Thank goodness, we had a bunch of girl names ready but hardly any boy options
Dr E: It looks like we will have to await the melanin awakening again unfortunately
Rahul: So long as Viola is healthy, that’s all that matters
Dr E: That’s a lovely name
Cassandra: We think so
Dr E: I’ll just close up then you three can head home
Tumblr media
Back home and it looks like Viola is keeping to tradition by inheriting Rahul’s eyes.
Mercedes: Mama papa back!
Savannah: You gone forever
Rahul: It didn’t take that long I don’t think. Now who is ready to meet their baby sister
The twins pout and look generally underwhelmed.
Cassandra: Come on over Savannah and say hi to Viola
Tumblr media
Savannah: Hi. I done mama
Cassandra: How about you Mercedes, can you say hello to Viola
Cassandra picks up the baby who starts to scream and Mercedes does not look impressed.
Mercedes: Too loud mama, we no sleep
Rahul: She’s on the other end of the house to you two. I think you’ll sleep just fine
Mercedes pouts but reluctantly greets her new sister.

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 3
Mercedes practices her words, the household gets some new additions, Cassandra and Rahul get excited about the impending Chopra and the baby shower starts.
Tumblr media
Inside, after much insistence by the twins, all the girls in the house practice potty together. Neither twin has reached level 3 yet but they’ve got plenty of time. Outside Rahul begins to plant some aubergine on his crop spots. Luckily weeks of cleaning the chicken coop has left him with lots of fertiliser he can use. All the crops get dusted with super vitality fertiliser today.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: What flash cards do you want Mercedes
Mercedes: Nan amils
Cassandra: Animals it is. Okay little lady, what is this one
Mercedes: Bwear
Cassandra: Bear. B B Bear
Mercedes: Not bwear, bear *giggles*
Cassandra: Very good. How about this one
Mercedes: Belly wish
Cassandra: Close. Jellyfish
Mercedes: *quietly* jelly-fish, jelly-fish
Cassandra: What about-
Mercedes: I know! It turtle mama!
Cassandra: Yes it is! Well done
Tumblr media
Here we have the newest household additions. Mini goat Turtle and mini sheep Seven. Yes, I let the toddlers name the animals, again (or maybe it was my childish brain, I’ll never tell!)
Tumblr media
Inside Savannah and Mercedes take some time to have fun together. They both agree that a new baby is unnecessary since they exist. They’re going to try ignore it and hope it goes away. Mercedes suggested yelling at it but Savannah said that would just get them in trouble with their parents. Mercedes may still try yelling, only time will tell.
Tumblr media
Cassandra needs some time outside so practices her guitar while Rahul sets things up for the new household members. Unfortunately something spooks Seven, not too sure if it was the guitar or the flock of chickens. Cassandra stops and takes some time to calm down and comfort Seven, just in case it was her.
Tumblr media
Brilliant news! I hadn’t seen Binky or Boo, just a new wild rabbit. I thought, gosh darn it they passed on. I was WRONG! Here is Binky, alive and well in the garden. Also, she’s still apparently a young adult? I don’t know how rabbit aging works. Rahul pets her in delight for me.
Tumblr media
Dinner goes much better with both parents. Cassandra has the night off and both girls happily chatter to her and Rahul between mouthfuls. Mercedes eats everything off her plate without tossing it on the floor! Savannah of course would never waste food. While Rahul clears Mercedes even blows Cassandra a kiss.
Tumblr media
Before bed both twins get bubble baths. It’s the baby shower tomorrow so there won’t be any time in the morning.
Savannah: Watch out mama. I make wave go high
Cassandra: Very high indeed. How high can we get those arms
Savannah: All way up mama
Mercedes: Papa, you like bubbles
Rahul: I do like bubbles
Mercedes: You want share
Rahul: No thank you little ladybug
Mercedes: To late *splashes*
Rahul: Oh no, you’re much too fast for me
Mercedes: *giggles*
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama, can I has help with potty, I not want to be yuck
Cassandra: Of course you can. Oh, that was a kick
Savannah: I didn’t
Cassandra: I know honeybee. I mean the baby kicked me
Savannah: How
Cassandra: From the inside
Savannah doesn't understand but really doesn't care enough about the baby to ask any more questions. Potty time is successful and no messes are made.
Tumblr media
Cassandra is exhausted after working on growing a human all day so Rahul tells her to head to bed and he can put the girls to sleep. Mercedes, book loving toddler that she is, requests a story. Savannah however is happy enough to be tucked in without a story.
Tumblr media
In the middle of the night Rahul wakes up and wonders where Cassandra is. After checking the bathroom he goes and finds her in the hall from the kitchen.
Rahul: Everything okay my darling
Cassandra: I was hungry and craving some fruit
Rahul: Shall we go back to bed
Cassandra: Actually big guy, I was worried. We didn’t have a lot of time together yesterday with me working with the girls. Maybe…
Rahul: What is it
Cassandra: It probably sounds stupid but I was wondering if we could read to the baby. I want it to know your voice
Rahul: That’s not stupid, I’d love to
Tumblr media
2am, Cassandra and Rahul are awake and taking some time to be together.
Rahul: Is the book meant to look upside down
Cassandra: Luna said some books are like this
Rahul: Perhaps it’s a way to fight against pregnancy brain
Cassandra: Hey, I don’t have pregnancy brain
Rahul: Well I do
Cassandra: For someone who dislikes comedy, you do make me smile
Rahul: You make me smile my darling. Now what happens after the pink dinosaur
Tumblr media
Mr Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye. A new dawn is upon us
Mrs Feathers: *clucks* It does keep happening
Mr Cluckton: *clucks* My keen guard chicken senses tell me the watcher has rearranged the yard. Be vigilant everyone!
Tumblr media
Cassandra is too hungry to wait for breakfast so she has some leftovers while Rahul cooks some eggs for him and the twins
Rahul: What are you doing
Cassandra: Washing up
Rahul: You should leave that for me
Cassandra: You’re busy to, and we need to be ready for the baby shower
Rahul: You can barely access the sink over the bump
Cassandra: It does feel like I’m much bigger than when I had the twins. Maybe it’s a second pregnancy thing. I wish I could do my yoga, my back is so stiff
Tumblr media
Rahul: I can help with that
Cassandra: But big guy, the eggs-
Rahul: Will be fine, now turn around. How’s that
Cassandra: A bit lower, yeah that’s perfect
Rahul: How is our baby doing this morning
Cassandra: Pretty active, do you want to say hi
Rahul: Of course I do. Hi little one, it’s papa here, I love you so much already
Tumblr media
Rahul: And don’t you worry about your big sisters, we’ll keep you happy
Cassandra: I hope so
Rahul rests his cheek on Cassandra’s belly, feeling the baby kicks against his face.
Rahul: Forget athlete, I think this one might have inherited your sense of rhythm
Cassandra heads off to shower and Rahul returns to the eggs, which did indeed survive being ignored, the pros of sim cooking.
Tumblr media
Cassandra collects the days eggs and is cleaning the coop when Seven bounces over to see what is happening. After she feeds the chickens Cassandra cleans up Seven.
Cassandra: We’re having visitors today, must look our best huh
Seven: *bleats* Clean is good
Cassandra: Have you seen Turtle? Turtle! Where are you? We need to clean you to
Tumblr media
While Cassandra waits for turtle to appear she treats Seven to some milk. We have plenty of prairie grass but Cassandra wants to bond. She then shears off some wool to keep Seven looking sleek.
Cassandra: There you are Turtle. We really must adjust the gate locks, can’t have you wandering off. Who knows if foxes would try to get you
Cassandra cleans Turtle up and milks her to get rid of the pressure
Cassandra: I bet that feels better huh? I always feel better after pumping
Tumblr media
Baby shower time and the weather is perfect! Unfortunately I added some gates to change where the chickens could get to and there seems to be a problem with sim visitors entering the property.
Savannah: Welcome all to our home
Mercedes: We glad you here to cel- sally
Savannah: Celebrate!
Mercedes: Even Milton *giggles*
Milton is not amused by this joke.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Uncle! Uncle! Play!
Alexander: Okay but go easy on me Mercedes
Devin: She’s running riot over you
Alexander: She’s just an enthusiastic play wrestler
Milton: Savannah, let me in
Savannah: What the password
Milton: Huh
Savannah: Not it
Milton: Look, the dog got let in
Savannah: Dog knew password
Milton: Dogs can’t speak
Savannah: Not it
Milton: *sighs in frustration*

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 7
Following the engagement love is in the air for many a sim, and sim cats no matter how aloof they may be. The household discuss what will change for them next rotation.
Tumblr media
Most of the household is sleeping, it’s technically exam day now. However Keira and Marta have yet to make it under the sheets, discussing the future.
Keira: We can’t stay in this house
Marta: He will be locked up for a little bit. We don’t have to leave your friends
Keira: They will still be my friends wherever we are. I’d feel better knowing we were somewhere he didn’t know about
Marta: That makes sense. That police officer did say he may cause trouble again
Keira: If we’re somewhere new we can build a life where you don’t have to be looking over your shoulder
Tumblr media
Marta: How about San Sequoia?
Keira: Wherever you want sweetheart
Marta: Well, San Sequoia does have that wonderful Marine Life Centre. You could apply to work there
Keira: How are you thinking about me when we’re meant to be thinking about you
Marta: I want you to be happy just as much as you want me happy, get used to it carino, te amo
Tumblr media
Milton wakes up to discover the tooth fairy has left him some money, as well as a certificate and a large sticker. Just what the wall of an expensive mansion needs. Joey sleeps in, he’s still fighting his burnout. The woohoo may have helped but that was before the trip to the police station. Marta happily helps herself to fruit salad for breakfast. She’s going to quit her job and find something new after her and *smiles* her fiancé move.
Tumblr media
Marta is definitely in her happy place this morning. She cleans her bowl, fumbling and eventually dropping it in the sink. Through the chaos and the splashes she never stops smiling.
Tumblr media
When James and Alexander arrive downstairs Marta greets them with an exaggerated wave of her hand.
James: You said yes then
Alexander: Who said yes to what
Marta: Keira asked me to marry her!
Alexander: Aww congratulations
Marta begins singing to herself again, another ditty about getting married.
James: I’m glad she finally asked, I was running out of places to hide that ring
Alexander: Wait, you knew and didn’t tell me
James: Love you wouldn’t have been able to keep it a secret
Alexander: I kept our affair secret for ages Mr previously married
Keira: Don’t worry, Joey didn’t know either
Tumblr media
Marta: Buenos dias fiancé
Keira: Good morning to you! I’m so glad you’re doing okay this morning
Marta: I’m better than okay, I’m engaged!
Keira: *chuckles* I hadn’t noticed
Marta: When will you tell your parents
Keira: I’ll give mum a call before exams and she’ll spread the news. They’ll be happy, they love you
Marta looks sad for a moment before pulling herself back in to smiling
Keira: Is something wrong sweetheart
Marta: It’s just… apart from your friends, I have no one to tell anymore... but I’ll be okay carino
Tumblr media
Keira stands and comes around the island, pulling Marta up.
Keira: Now I don’t sing anywhere near as well as you so bear with me
Marta: What are you doing
Keira: 🎶So kiss me under the mistletoe. Pour out the wine, let’s toast and pray for December snow🎵
Keira holds up a small bunch of mistletoe and beckons for Marta to finish the lyric
Marta: *laughs* 🎶I know there’s been pain this year but it’s time to let it go, next year you never know. But for now it's Winterfest🎵
The two share a kiss and part with Marta feeling a little better, singing always lifts her mood
Tumblr media
Rather than stress abut his final exam, Alexander has chosen to workout. Gertrude comes to check on him and he happily talks to her. He’s an animal lover at heart and hopes in future their clan may involve more animals than cats. Especially cats that scratch bookshelves HAMLET. Upstairs James take time to indulge in one of his favourite activities, video gaming! Its not long however before Hamlet comes seeking attention and James switches to playing with a cat wand
Tumblr media
Keira: Hey mum
Kayleigh: Oh I was hoping you would call. Good luck for your exams today
Keira: Thanks mum but I was actually calling to give you some news
Kayleigh: Family gossip? Lay it on me
Keira: *chuckles* I got arrested last night
Kayleigh: You’re calling on your cellphone so congratulations on your daring escape. Are you on the run? You need money?
Tumblr media
Keira: No mum, they had to let me go. I kicked Marta’s ex’s ass but he was trespassing
Kayleigh: That’s wonderful! He definitely had it coming to him from what she’s told me
Keira: Tell me about it. Anyway it made me move some timelines around and I asked Marta to marry me. For some reason she said yes
Kayleigh: Oh darling that’s wonderful! I know you’ve always dreamed of finding the one. I’m so happy for you both. Give her my best wishes. I must go tell your dad, oh and I’ll need to call Reece, after Charlie obviously or he will call her! Go nail those final exams, I’ll get the word out
Keira: Thanks for being there for me mum, I love you
Tumblr media
No big speech here. Just James and Gertrude becoming companions!
Tumblr media
Derick: You kicked the burnout yet bro
Joey: Why do you think I’m watching sports
Derick: From what I’ve seen you’ve been playing your own sports
Joey: *laughs* that was a terrible euphemism
Derick: You know I killed it. Bring it in bro, two chicks in one go, you’re living the dream
Joey: Apart from the burnout
Derick: Whatever. And how about Monica? I never pegged her for being up for something like that
Joey: What do you mean
Tumblr media
Derick: She’s just always given off a vanilla vibe, you know dude
Joey: It’s a total front, she certainly knows what she’s doing
Derick: You sure
Joey: I would have been satisfied from her alone
Derick: No kidding? Maybe I ought to see if she’s up for trying me out
Joey: She’s not easy dude
Derick: Fine. I’ll keep my emojis to a minimum
Joey: If things get going between you two, you’d be a lucky man. In as much as anyone who likes the idea of a relationship can be
Tumblr media
Marta: If you press that button it’ll just lock
James: But how do I do screenshots then
Marta: Three fingers going down like this, see
James: Oh my, how technology has shifted
Alexander: It is over!
James: How were the exams
Keira: I could barely keep my eyes open to be honest
Marta: But now you’re done with uni
Alexander: If we passed
James: Of course you did. You both worked very hard
Tumblr media
Keira: The harbour really is beautiful
Marta: We could live nearby, in one of those townhouses maybe. Oh, or a rental with crazy neighbours
Keira: I think Liam is enough crazy for our lives
Marta: I got you something after work. I hope you like it carino
Keira: A ring!
Marta: If I get one, you get one. It’s just a placeholder cheap one though, I’ll get you a proper one for after we’re married
Tumblr media
Keira: I love it. But if we’re giving gifts I better give you this
Marta: A rose! Just like I gave you before we were official
Keira: I know! I’m keeping that one forever. But this one is to say thank you for bringing me so much joy
Marta: Aww carino, you’re so sweet
Tumblr media
The couple spend time strolling down the waterfront before resting at the tables beside the theatre. There they happily flirt and figure out what their life here might look like.
Tumblr media
James: When will you move out
Keira: As soon as we find a place really
James: I hope I haven’t been a bad host
Marta: Not at all. You’ve been very generous, we just need to be safe
Alexander: Are you saying a cat eating on the table isn’t safe
The seated sims laugh.
Gertrude: *meows* Who me? I’m a knight I make things safe
Tumblr media
Joey: I think it’s time for me to stretch my wings to. I’ve loved it here James, but you and Alexander need family space, or cat space
Alexander: Will you take up your sister’s offer to live with them in Del Sol Valley then
Joey: Not sure. I don’t know if my renegade shenanigans are compatible with her family life, either way I’m not going to be leaving tomorrow
So Joey heads upstairs to start making his first video game and Keira and Marta begin packing their belongings up.
Marta: Are you sure the glass won’t break
Keira: We basically have pockets with undetectable extension charms, they’ll be fine sweetheart The women head to bed, next time I play them will be in their own household.
Tumblr media
Alexander: How was school today
Milton: It was okay. Me and Reynaldo talked voidcritters. I think he would call me his friend now. Can I use the computer to chat with him?
Alexander: Okay but remember, the watcher is watching
James and Alexander head out to the movies then come back and climb in bed together. Their household will be smaller next time, but will that leave room for James to have the child he wants?

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 6
Joey has fun with Monica and Tuesday. Before they can leave however the house gets a most unwelcome visitor.
Content warning: Emotionally abusive ex and woohoo shenanigans
Tumblr media
While Joey took the ladies upstairs the rest of the household was making use of the library. Milton and Reynaldo were playing with the dollhouse while Keira and Marta played some chess before bed. Bitten by the reading bug James picked another novel to start while Alexander settled in to reread one of his favourites.
Tumblr media
If you do not care for Joey's woohoo life skip to the next bold bit. Nothing explicit is shown but the screenshots and words cover what is happening.
Photo for Joey’s collection. Despite his love of woohoo this will be his first threesome, hence a photo with both ladies.
Tuesday: So if we’re doing this, we need to make sure we do what you want, consent is sexy
Monica: I want to get better and get Derick jealous, whatever will accomplish that, I’m game
Tuesday: Right. Well we all know you’re straight so think of me as more of a third party. I’ll step in for tips and when Joey wants but for the most part I’ll focus on getting some hot shots-
Monica: That you’re going to accidentally send Derick
Tuesday: *chuckles* I love the way you think girl. Let’s have fun
With that Monica leans into Joey and they’re off.
Tumblr media
Tuesday: You’re so good for doing this Joey
Joey: Hey, I’m a giver
Tuesday: You see how I did that, you try
Monica: But will he really like that
Joey: Most guys do
Tuesday: Trust me. A girl can do a heck of a lot just by playing with things in her mouth
Monica: Make sure you get the angle right
Tuesday: Trust me, it’s hot. Now make sure to use your voices, that’ll get his pixel parts up
Tumblr media
Satisfaction prevails
Good mannered Joey makes sure to walk the ladies to the door afterwards.
Joey: That was fun
Tuesday: You’re telling me
Monica: Thanks for helping me out guys
?: MARTA
Tuesday: The hell was that
?: MARTA I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE
Monica: Who’s Marta
Joey: Keira’s girlfriend. I’m guessing the loser yelling out there is her deadbeat ex
Liam: MARTA COME OUT
Tumblr media
Liam: MARTA I DON’T CARE WHAT GUY YOU’VE BEEN SCREWING, YOU’RE MINE
Marta: Oh no! What’s he doing here? How did he figure out where I am
Keira: That’s Liam?
Marta is overcome with fear and curls herself up by the bed
Liam: MARTA
Marta: I’m so sorry carino, I’m so sorry. How did he find me?
...
James: Can you see who it is
Alexander: No but we can guess
Milton: Who is it, I can't see
Alexander: Never you mind. You stay up here with James. He’s going to call the cops and they’ll take the scary guy away
Tumblr media
Tuesday: Joey, he’s walking up to the door
Joey: Don’t worry. I’ll distract him. You two go out the back and get home safe
Monica: Are you sure
Joey: Yes
Tuesday: Come on Monica, Joey’s got this
...
Marta: I should have known, I should have known. When he showed up at work, he wasn’t over it
Keira: I don’t care if he’s over it or not, he’s not treating you like this again
Marta: No wait! Where are you going
Keira: To tell him to piss off. Please stay safe up here, we’re not giving that loser anything he wants, even a glimpse of you
Tumblr media
Unfortunately Joey is knocked down before he can get a word out.
Liam: Are you the pretty boy she’s been screwing? I’ll END YOU
Joey sits up, putting on his best unfazed attitude.
Joey: You need to LEAVE! I have not been with Marta but I know she’s happy in her new relationship away from a screw loose like YOU
Liam: How DARE YOU! MARTA, GET YOUR SKINNY ASS DOWN HERE
Joey: Look dude, my pa’s a lawyer and-
Liam: He’s not here! MARTA I HOPE YOU TOOK ENOUGH PHOTOS OF THIS TWERP BECAUSE YOU WONT RECOGNISE HIM WHEN I’M FINISHED
Tumblr media
Keira: Get AWAY from him
Liam: No, I think I’ll ruin his perfect teeth, stay out of it
Keira: What? Are you scared to fight a girl? Oh that’s right, you don’t hit girls. You just terrify, gaslight and isolate them
Liam: You've got a big mouth! Stay out of MY relationship or-
Keira: You don’t have a relationship with Marta. Not anymore
Liam: Who are you to tell me what to do
Keira: Nobody. Just the girl whose pixel parts Marta would rather smash than yours
Liam yells and charges at Keira, beginning an all out brawl. Joey picks himself up and moves away as Alexander arrives downstairs.
Tumblr media
Alexander: Shouldn’t we stop her, she could get hurt?
Joey: Don’t be sexist bro. She’s level 10 fitness. I don’t think there’s any way she’s going to lose this fight
Alexander: James is calling the cops
Joey: And Marta?
Alexander: Her door is locked while this bozo is on the property
Joey: Good
Alexander: That really is a lot of dust
Joey: Yeah well Keira is a lot pissed off
Tumblr media
Keira: The next time you think about harassing the girl I love, you remember this bruising
Liam: I think I have a concussion
Keira: boohoo for you
Amabel (a cop): Everybody FREEZE
Joey: Oh damn. Look Amabel, it’s this dude’s fault
Liam: She attacked me!
Keira: What?
Liam: I was invited over and she just went mental and now... I need medical attention!
Keira: That's a pack of lies
Amabel: You two get to come to the station with me where we’ll sort this out
Joey: Amabel come on, is that necessary
Amabel: If I don’t Joey it’ll look like I give special treatment to friends of guys I've slept with. I have no choice
Tumblr media
Joey: The nerve of that guy pa. How can he claim she attacked him
Aaron: Clearly they are taking this seriously
Marta: Please Mr York, this is my fault. Please help her, she doesn’t deserve this
Aaron: Don’t worry. I’m prosecutor for the DA. I’ll outline the flimsy nature of the case they have
Joey: Thanks pa
Alexander: Can you find out how he knew where she was
Aaron: I’ll try but his admitting that might be admitting guilt so he may not be inclined to answer. I’ll be back as soon as I can
Tumblr media
Keira: Are you really arresting me? He came on to the property to go after my girlfriend
Liam: I was invited to pay an old flame a visit and this crazy chick jumped me, I think I have a concussion
Amabel: We’ll send a medical officer in but you’ll each be questioned
When Amabel leaves the lock up Liam turns to Keira with a sneer.
Liam: You may think you have her but Marta will ALWAYS be my girlfriend. No matter how fancy a house she hides in, I’ll get her back, we’ll see who’s mocking who then
Keira: How did you even find us
Liam: Nice society wedding you hosted. Made the papers, all those pictures. Standing behind the richest grooms in town was my Marta
Keira: Screw you you f-
Tumblr media
Marta: This is my fault
Joey: Pretty sure it isn’t
Alexander: He’s right. It’s not your fault your ex hid his true self behind charm. He’s at fault, not you
After what seems like forever Aaron comes back with Marta and Amabel.
Marta: Carino! You’re okay?
Amabel: Mr York was right, the case is flimsy. We reviewed the surveillance footage you brought in Mr Goth and it seems Liam arrived at your house intending to cause harm
Marta: So we can go home?
Amabel: Word of warning, guys like this often don’t quit. He can cool his heels inside for a bit with this assault charge but it won’t be forever
Tumblr media
Keira: Don’t worry Marta. I kicked his butt, and I can do it again. We’re in this together, I’ll help keep you safe
Marta: Te amo carino
Joey: Thank you so much pa, I know last time we caught up-
Aaron: Hey now, just because you decide to woohoo a girl in the middle of the club doesn’t mean you’re not my bambino. We’re family
Joey: You’re the best pa. Oh hey, I got a promotion! I’m a project manager now
Aaron: That’s my genius boy!
Tumblr media
James: You’re home love. Is she okay?
Alexander: They didn’t process charges since they determined that idiot started it, but he'll get charged for assault
James: I don’t suppose we can make him stay away longer by charging him with trespassing
Alexander: We could try. Is Milton alright
James: Apart from refusing to go to sleep in case no one came home, yeah grand
Alexander: Milton, you need to go to sleep
Milton: I know. I just wanted to make sure you were home. And you know... no one died
Milton looks crestfallen and Alexander wonders if he can cheer him up at all.
Alexander: That’s nice of you but if you don’t sleep the tooth fairy won’t come
Milton: Will they know to find me here? Because I would like a poster
James: Of course buddy, they'll know

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 5
Keira and Marta discuss the jerk that is Marta's emotionally abusive ex. Milton tries to make a friend and Joey throws himself in to his work.
Tumblr media
Keira: And by he we’re talking about the sorry excuse of a man that belittled you for years, right
Marta: Liam
Keira: I thought you said he was through pursuing you when he realised you were no longer afraid of him
Marta: I thought so. But he waltzed in and wanted me to make his coffee order. I mean I couldn’t say no, the boss was right there watching
Keira: Did he say anything else
Marta: That I make him crazy. That he misses me. I told him, I’m in love with a beautiful girl. His response was rather vulgar
Tumblr media
Keira: That piece of trash
Marta: He never believed I was bisexual. Thought he could woohoo liking girls out of me
Keira: Please tell me you spat in his coffee
Marta: Carino I need this job, we need savings. We can’t live in that mansion forever and I want to be able to pay my own way with you
Keira: But-
Marta: He doesn’t know who you are or where we are, he can’t harass us beyond wanting crappy coffee.
Keira: I just want you safe
Marta: Whenever I’m with you Keira, I feel safe
Tumblr media
Alexander: How was your first day of school
Milton: Okay I guess. Except when they asked me if my mum or dad were picking me up and I had to say neither
Alexander: I’ll call your teacher about it
Milton: Please don’t. I’m already the kid with no parents, I don’t want to be the kid who makes trouble
Alexander: If you’re sure
Milton: I am. Look I’m all finished with homework so I’m going to go to the library room
Alexander: You think he’s okay
James: It was always going to be tricky love, but I think he doesn’t seem too downcast
Tumblr media
Joey: Wait- he just turned up like some stalker creep
Marta: I’m used to him pulling stupid stunts
Joey: But you haven’t been together in ages
Marta: He thinks he owns me, or owns my happiness
Keira: Yeah I don’t count as a partner because I’m a girl
Milton: Adults sound stupid
Joey: You’re telling me kid
Tumblr media
Alexander: You get promoted yet
Joey: Even I’m not going to get promoted on my first day. The producer did have a flip out though, kept flinging me panicked emails, and I thought I was paranoid
James: Did you sort it
Joey: Oh yeah. I had to take some time off other tasks but I managed to make a programme to tackle all the issues. Even got praised in the afternoon meeting
Following dinner Alexander takes time to play with Milton and make sure he ends the day happy. James looks after the other youngsters, making sure the cats are content.
Tumblr media
Alexander: I haven’t read anything but textbooks in ages
James: It’s always nice to slow down. Did Milton get to bed alright
Alexander: He was cracking jokes so I think he’s okay sweets
In their room Keira and Marta are having quite a passionate make out session.
Marta: You’re kissing pretty hard carino
Keira: Sorry, I just want to help you forget whatshisface
Marta: Ay dios mio, I can’t even remember his name
Keira: Good, we’re working
Tumblr media
All the young adults take advantage of the home gym while James preps breakfast for everyone
James: Gertrude they did not order this with cat fur dressing
Joey: Can you see my muscles yet
Alexander: I guess
Joey: You seem crabby
Alexander: Milton’s still insisting on sharing a room. It makes it hard for me and James to...
Joey: Do something abut getting hard? You know you can just put him somewhere else
Alexander: He’s my brother, I’ve got to look after him
Tumblr media
Alexander washes is dishes in the guest bathroom where James finds him.
James: You all caught up on homework
Alexander: Yes Mr Goth, I’ve finished my schoolwork
James: *chuckles* well Milton is at school, the cats are napping down here, our bedroom is pretty empty right now if you’re up for it
Alexander: I’m always up for it. It’s felt like forever since we’ve been together and I have been dreaming pixel part dreams
James: So glad I landed a younger man. Come on love
Tumblr media
School only made Milton tense but afterwards he invited over classmate Reynaldo. The two set themselves up int the dining room battling voidcritters. Could Reynaldo be Milton’s first childhood friend? Unfortunately I did make it trickier to raise friendship so we’ll have to wait and see.
Tumblr media
Alexander: Milton, come and eat
Milton: Just as soon as I win this battle
Reynaldo: Never!
Marta: Kids are so cute
Joey: Guess who got promoted! It’s ya boy Joey
Alexander: Still talking about yourself in the third person when you brag
Joey: It helps highlight my skills. I just demanded some challenges, took extra training and ta da! I’m now a project manager
Marta: Is that good?
Joey: It’s closer to the dream. Well the career dream, not the sleep with as many women as I can dream
Tumblr media
Joey chose to work hard during his shift (seriously, I didn’t select it) so is feeling like he needs to stretch his creative skills. He starts knitting a new pair of socks upstairs while Marta checks out what drama is on TV. When Alexander is finished with his homework he joins them and they chatter away until Keira finally finishes her work. Joey is ending his knitting when he gets a hook up txt from Tuesday.
Tumblr media
Tuesday: Congratulations on your promotion!
Joey: You here to congratulate me then?
The two head to Joey’s room where Tuesday takes a moment to chat before diving in.
Tuesday: You know how Monica has always fancied you
Joey: Really? But she’s less than attractive
Tuesday: To you maybe. Anyway she’s got her sights set on Derick and was asking about how we practice together and I get the feeling she’d like to practice with you. If for nothing else than making Derick jealous
Joey: Yeah I’m sure my killer good looks have nothing to do with it
Tuesday: Focus. My point is, if you have fun with her, make sure to include me. I’ve wanted to get a better look at her boobs for ages
Tumblr media
Winterfest is certainly over so its time for a cat costume change. Hamlet gets a mysterious cape while Gertrude gets to be a lady knight, en garde! Joey tried to fit in some creative time to wipe away his threatening burnout before work but didn’t quite manage it. Fingers crossed he doesn’t overdo it today.
Tumblr media
It may be raining but if you’re underwater it makes no difference. Keira has another day free of classes before her exams and takes the time to do some more diving. She gets a new underwater photo and cements her love of sea creatures.
Tumblr media
Milton got another pop up about inviting Reynaldo over after school. He lost his first tooth during recess (one of his front oversized ones) and is not happy.
Milton: Why do we have to lose them anyway
Reynaldo: If you were an adult with kid sized teeth it’d be weird
Milton: How many do we have to lose
Reynaldo: I think it’s kind of the same one over and over again until we become teens and they shift
Milton: Sounds logical to me
Tumblr media
Keira has also been taking time to use the easel Kayleigh gave her and today finished her first masterpiece! Mum will be proud. Alexander is indulging in his culinary hobby again by making everyone mac and cheese. I know I don’t have hobbies installed right now but I’m going to keep playing like I do. Joey arrives home and yep, he’s experiencing burnout. Time to use a vacation day to unwind I think.
Tumblr media
James is busy giving lessons on love to Marta and Keira when Alexander finishes cooking.
Joey: Man I feel rubbish
James: You don’t look too good son
Keira: Burnout maybe?
Joey: Please, I’m a genius. That said, I have taken tomorrow off
Alexander: Milton! Come eat!
James: It’s good he’s making a friend
Of course before everyone can be finished Hamlet jumps up and helps himself to the food.
Tumblr media
Derick: Yo bro, how’s it
Joey: Not too shiny my man. Hoping some partying can lift my mood but my roomates have exams tomorrow
Derick: Dude I have exams tomorrow and I can still enjoy a keg
Joey: Us bro’s are built differently. Is Monica here
Derick: Monica? Probably. She always seems to be wherever I turn
Joey: You ever tap that
Derick: Na, I don’t dabble with amateurs. But why are we talking about her, come on in
Tumblr media
Joey taps the keg but try as I might, the keg stand interaction doesn’t work
Monica: Joey, you came
Joey: Always do
Monica: *blushes* You know you have pretty eyes
Joey: I do, lashes make a difference, but let’s cut to the chase. You don’t need to flirt with me. If you want to practice to impress Derick I’m happy to help
Monica: Really? Just like that?
Joey: If the woohoo is on offer I’m happy to oblige
Tumblr media
Joey: But you know, it’s not going to be sparkles and rainbows. Be sure you want this
Monica: I do, and make sure to give Derick a good review
Joey: About that, Tuesday really wanted to help
Monica: She did? But I’m straight
Joey: Same here but playing with more people can increase your skills
Monica: Okay but if she’s involved she has to take some cute pics to “accidentally” send Derick
Joey: I’m sure she can manage that. Shall we go upstairs
Monica: No. Not here. I want Derick to think I’m good, I don’t want him to think I’m easy

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 4
It's time for Milton to turn 6 and become a proper child, I shall miss his little face 😭 We take a quick trip to the humor and hijinks festival, Joey prepares for his first day of real work
Tumblr media
Marta: Buenos dias carino
Keira: You okay? You seemed restless last night
Marta: Just a few bad dreams
Keira: Was he in them
Marta: He’s only ever in the bad ones. Gertrude why are you up here
Keira: I think she’s trying to establish territory
Marta: I got to get to work, I’ll see you later, te amo
Keira: Bye, love you to
Tumblr media
James: I can’t believe I forgot to make the cake
Alexander: Sweets you were busy with the grand meal yesterday
James: I know but Milton deserves a good birthday
Alexander: I still can’t believe Father Winter wouldn’t give him anything
James: I got so mad, needed cat time. Don’t you have a project you should be working on
Alexander: Not losing your memory yet I see
James: Go love. I have this under control
Tumblr media
Once the cake is sorted James gives Hamlet some snuggles and the two become companions! Gertrude is aloof so winning her over will take longer. The doorbell rings and Cassandra is here!
James: No kids
Cassandra: They  were in grumpy moods this morning, I decided that if they were here they’d only ruin Milton’s day
The adults sit and talk in the library until Milton emerges for the day. He needed a long sleep after Father Winter was the biggest bully around screw that guy.
Tumblr media
Milton: Cassandra!
Cassandra: Hey little brother. You ready to age up
Alexander carries Milton to the freshly baked cake.
Alexander: Okay buddy, let’s blow them out
Milton: Can I has help
Alexander: We can do it together. Three, two, one The two Goth boys blow the candles out and Milton laughs in delight. He is put down, spins it out, and…
Tumblr media
Six year old Milton is here! Is it just me or is it hard to find younger kid clothes in cas? Like most of them seem good for preteens but maybe it’s just me. Back to Milton, he has spun the geek trait. I swear it was not my choice despite the poll. He also has the slumber party animal aspiration and is a 1 star celeb? It must be from Mortimer dying as a 5 star celeb.
Tumblr media
Black joins yellow and orange as his favourite colours. He rolled liking photography, telling jokes and talking about hobbies. Alexander and James got him some voidcritters.
Keira: Happy birthday
Milton: Thanks, what did you get me
Keira: Oh I haven’t-
Milton: Joking!
Alexander: I think your comedic timing needs some work
Hamlet: *meows* no kidding
Tumblr media
The household, minus James who needs a nap after working out, head to the humor and hijinks festival.
Joey: Oi, there’s Morgan
Keira: The one who cheated on me, thank you for pointing her out
Joey: What if, and hear me out, I woohoo her. Like a revenge woohoo on your behalf. I need to get my count up
Keira: *sighs* You know she’s a lesbian right Joey
Joey: Wouldn’t be the first lesbian to sleep with a dude
Keira: Knock yourself out but I’m telling you, you’ll just make a fool of yourself. I'm going to catch up with Marta
Tumblr media
Joey: Hey hottie, nice to see you
Morgan: Is it? And since when do you call me hottie
Joey: Oh you know, couldn’t do it when you were dating my friend but I do love redheads. And you in that leather, damn girl
Morgan: *laughs*
Joey: You know, I’m actually a celebrity now. Starting down that path to roll in the fortunes. You could always roll with me if you know what I mean
Morgan: I have some idea
Tumblr media
Joey: So what do you say? I’m sure there’s a woohoo spot somewhere here
Morgan: Yikes. You know I’m gay right
Joey: Well yeah but-
Morgan: So keep your pixel parts in your pants and away from me. Unless you’ve suddenly sprouted a vagina, I’m not interested
Morgan turns and walks off.
Joey: I'm not saying I'm a woman but you know Morgan, not all women have vaginas!
He looks over to his housemates who all seem to be having a good time. Figuring they’ll be happy here for a bit he decides to head home and see if Rita is still good for coming over.
Tumblr media
Rita is indeed still keen to come over for Joey’s standard collection picture (I have a bad memory so this is just the best way for me to keep track of his count, he's not a complete sleeze, he doesn't score them or any creepy ick). Of course the photo session soon turns into something else as the two take advantage of having more space than the inside of a nightclub bathroom.
Tumblr media
When the rest of the household returned from the festival James had finished being critically tired. Milton went straight up to bed while James and Marta chatted as Keira and Alexander finished off their homework. When all was done, everyone of consenting age in the household got lucky that night.
Tumblr media
Joey: Thanks for coming so quickly
Tuesday: It’s 5am, you better have a good reason for needing this
(actually Tuesday was the one who contacted Joey requesting a hook up but I changed it around for story purposes)
Joey: My new job starts today and I really don’t want to get in any woohoo entanglements with coworkers. That’s just opening myself up to future harassment lawsuits when I make it big
Tuesday: Okay but I’ve got stuff to do to, so we better play in the shower
Joey: A new location, I’m up for that!
Tumblr media
Marta: Really Gertrude? Every morning
Gertrude: *meows* This never gets old
When Marta sits down to have her early breakfast she sees a new face across the table
Marta: Oh hi, I’m Marta
Tuesday: Damn, you’re cute. I’m Tuesday
Marta: Right, Joey’s woohoo buddy. I was thinking it was odd a hook up would stay the night
Tuesday: *laughs* I didn’t, he just needed some unwinding this morning. You know, if you ever need unwinding-
Marta: Thank you but I’m happily taken
Tumblr media
Joey: Shower done, teeth brushed, breakfast-
Hamlet: *scoffs*
Joey: Really bro? At least let me get a plate
Tuesday: If you do that, I guarantee it lasts longer
Joey: Are you talking woohoo tips without me
Keira eats her breakfast quietly while Tuesday tells Marta all about various girl on girl woohoo techniques. She really wished she could just disappear from this conversation.
Joey: Wish I could do that
Tuesday: Don’t be ridiculous, you love throwing your pixel parts around
Joey: That’s... not untrue
Tumblr media
James: For the love of- Gertrude, did you tip the trash out again? Hamlet you have got to stop eating it
Joey: My first real job, wish me luck dudes
James: Are you wearing a pressed suit
Joey: No because it’s not the 1800s
James: Kids and your “fashion” these days
Joey: Trust me James, if I show up in a suit people wouldn’t believe I want to be a tech bro
Tumblr media
Keira has a day without classes, and is all up to date on her homework and exam prep. She heads off to Sulani and spends some time snorkelling among the reefs. She does love how all the fish seem to have their own patterns. She’s thinking marine biology could be a good field to get in to.
Tumblr media
After some time she seeks out deeper waters and purchases some dive gear. For now she can afford a rebreather, a dive knife and an underwater camera. Heading below the surface she enjoys seeing bigger creatures, as well as more variety. She manages to capture a photo for her wall. It may be normal quality but she thinks it’s beautiful.
Tumblr media
As she swims she thinks. Tuesday was so open and candid about her woohoo life. Marta seemed interested in what she had to say to. Maybe she is a prude if she doesn’t like discussing her woohoo life with anyone but Marta. But does Marta mind that? She knows Marta is naturally curious, so are they properly compatible?
Tumblr media
Keira decides to go meet Marta at the end of her shift and suggests they talk.
Marta: Are you all right carino, you look upset
Keira: It’s just Tuesday. She was saying such explicit things and I worry I’m not adventurous enough for you
Marta: Surely you’re interested in how to increase our pleasure
Keira: Well sure but I'd rather have those discussions with just you
Marta: We didn't discuss what you and I do, did we? Our woohoo life is our business carino, I wouldn’t go sharing it like that
Tumblr media
Keira: But you talked about the other women you’ve been with. I’m worried I’m not doing enough
Marta: Listen to me carino, and hear me. Te amo, I love you
Keira: Yeah
Marta: That is making the woohoo we share the best woohoo I’ve had. I trust you. Maybe we haven’t launched into the range of positions that exist but every time I’m with you, you leave me satisfied
Keira: Sorry for overreacting
Marta: Remember what I said, communication is important. I’d rather we talk through our worries instead of boxing them up
Keira: Our worries?
Marta: I... I saw him today

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 3
Alexander, James and Milton have Cassandra, Rahul, Savannah and Mercedes visit for Winterfest. Father Winter becomes my enemy due to his autonomous actions, and Joey scores a hook up only to be interrupted.
Tumblr media
Lunch time! Or sippy cup time because I didn’t have time to precook the grand meal. Alexander makes sure every toddler is in a high chair. I make sure to disable pick up for each chair. Alexander dishes out juice to the little ones. Good teamwork!
Tumblr media
James: I know it’s a bit late but shall we try for a turkey anyway
Cassandra: It’ll probably fail spectacularly
James: A gloomy sim after my own heart
Cassandra: Rahul, want to pitch in here
Rahul: Go team
Cassandra: So much for being a foodie
Rahul: I can oversee things
James: We have plenty of bench space, get stuck in
Tumblr media
Alexander: Who’s ready for Father Winter? Have we been well behaved this year
Mercedes: I earey earey good unka
Alexander: You sure Mercedes
Mercedes: No hit, no bright
Savannah: She no bite uncle Ale zander
Alexander: And how about you Savannah
Savannah: I am good all time, all time. Ask mama
Tumblr media
Alexander: Well I’m sure Father Winter will know
Savannah: Will you get visit
Milton: Yes. I have been extra good. I not woken up Alexander or James in weeks even if I hate bedtime
Alexander: Have you been reading in the middle of the night
Milton: *smiles casually*
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Why am I preparing this loaf
James: We need accompaniments
Rahul: Remember to knead deeply
Cassandra: You know big guy you could always take over
Rahul: Hey now, I cook all the time. Isn’t today meant to be a holiday
James: I cook normally and am still happy to do it
Rahul: Stop showing me up man
Tumblr media
Savannah: Where did Uncle go? I want to go to
Mercedes: Break free. On count. Savannah count
Milton: He’ll be seeing cats. We can’t break out
Mercedes: Why
Milton: We can’t
Mercedes: We... try
Milton: Do you want Father Winter to give you coal
Tumblr media
Alexander is in fact on his way to ask Hamlet to stop scratching the furniture to pieces. Hamlet doesn’t listen.
James: Here we go, the roast beast! Everyone dig in
Mercedes: Mama help!
Cassandra: I’ll get you a plate after your sister
Mercedes: But MAMA
Cassandra: We’ve talked about your behaviour today little ladybug
Mercedes: *pouts* no hit... no bright... earey good
Tumblr media
Milton: Thank you for dinner uncle James
James: You’re very welcome but your sister helped
Mercedes: Who
Cassandra: Remember ladybug, Milton is my brother and your uncle
Savannah: He small for uncle, he cousin
Rahul: No honeybee, he’s your uncle
Alexander: We just let him call James uncle because it’s got a nice ring to it
Milton: My brother Alexander married to uncle James! I not have mummy... but have family still

After lunch became an early dinner the Chopra’s head back to Henford-on-Bagley. Alexander does the dishes since James cooked. Milton is exhausted and has a nap on the couch to wait for Father Winter. James is feeling a bit worn out so he takes time to check in with his furbabies. Hamlet and Gertrude are both doing well after the visitors.
Tumblr media
*sleigh bells*
Milton: What? What happening? Is it…
Father Winter: oh h oho, I’ll just top up this gift pile
James: You arrived! I’m sure Milton is on your good list
Father Winter: He isn’t
Milton: *panics* I... I on bad list
James: There must be a mistake
Father Winter: He isn’t on my lists full stop. If he’s not on my lists, he gets nothing
James: You can’t be-
Father Winter: Now where is that Joey
Tumblr media
Father Winter: It’s you
Joey: Do I know you dude
Father Winter: I’m glad you’re doing so well, keep it up and there will be even more gifts next year
Milton: Excuse me Father Winter sir
Father Winter: I thought you were downstairs
Milton: Can I please have gift? I most want mummy but small gift still nice
Father Winter: I told you already, no gifts
Joey: Rude dude, he's a toddler
Tumblr media
Milton: Can I please have hug Father Winter
Father Winter: Umm, nope. I don’t even know you
Joey: But you’re literally Father Winter
Milton: *gets sad*
James: Hi, me again
Father Winter: Well done on managing those stairs at your age
James: You didn’t let me finish talking earlier
Father Winter: I was done and I have many houses to visit
Tumblr media
James: Milton has had a rough time. His father passed away after his mother disappeared. Surely you can find it in your heart to give him a gift
Father Winter: Look, he’s not on the list for celebrating Winterfest
Milton: *through sobs* I... celebrate. I- I have... elf-fit
Father Winter: My hands are tied, no Winterfest holiday spawned, no ask for gift interaction. I don’t make the rules
James: Of course not, you just enforce the glitches. You know what? Get out of our house, right now!
Tumblr media
Milton: Thank you for trying Uncle James *blows kiss*
James: Aww, you’re welcome buddy. Now how about we forget mean Father Winter and think about your birthday tomorrow
Milton: It tomorrow?
James: You bet. Remember how old you’ll be
Milton: 4, 5… I be turning 6!
James: But for now, potty and bed I think
Joey: Night little dude
Milton: Night night Joey
Tumblr media
Alexander is reading to Milton and James is watching when Hamlet comes racing in to the room, meowing at the top of his lungs
James: What’s wrong baby
Hamlet: *yowls*
James: No I’m quite sure he’s left by now
Father Winter emerges from the bathroom and nonchalantly strolls through the bedroom. It takes all my self control to not smite him down but my sims don't need the sad moodlets.
James: Were you being a brave guard cat? I think you were baby
Hamlet: *meows affectionately*
Tumblr media
Joey checks the mix and mingle app and finds a woman who also just wants to hook up. Rita Rose suggests they meet at a club in Windenburg and Joey eagerly agrees. He is a bro and what’s better than juice, dancing and woohoo.
Joey: You did not give a fake profile picture, you look amazing
Rita: Aww, just wait until you see me with my clothes off
Joey: Are we dancing first
Rita: If you don’t mind, I haven’t been to a club in ages
Joey: Na, I’m a fan of foreplay that's not romantic fuddy duddy
Tumblr media
So the two of them head inside, grab some juice and move to the beat the DJ blasts. The juice emboldens them and they get quite handsy on the dancefloor, Rita moves her hands below Joey’s hips a lot.
Joey: Damn I want you
Rita: That’s the point right
Joey: Come closer, you’ll feel how much I want it
Rita: Don’t rush, we can go the whole night if you let us, and forget all about each other tomorrow
Tumblr media
Joey likes the sound of that and pulls Rita close, his hands roaming her freely. He is in the midst of a deep kiss when a noise breaks through his tippy turned-on stupor.
Aaron: JOEY!
Joey: Pa? What the heck are you doing in a nightclub
Aaron: Meeting a CI on a particularly tricky case. What do you think you’re doing?
Joey: Look pa, you know I’m aromantic so it’s not like you’ll know the girls I choose to woohoo
Aaron: I don’t care if I know her Joey
Tumblr media
Aaron: Have some decency, I raised you better than this. You’re basically woohooing in the middle of the club!
Joey: But-
Aaron: Do you want pictures of your pixel parts on the internet? How much will investors be interested in your tech if you carry on like this? Use your brain
Aaron walks out angry and Joey realises their relationship has shifted into difficult territory.
Rita: That’s kind of hot
Joey: Huh?
Rita: If we’re doing forbidden woohoo that makes it so much better
Joey: *smirks* Should we head upstairs then
Tumblr media
The two spend a heck of a lot of time in the bathroom but both end pleasantly satisfied
Joey: Would you mind swinging by this week
Rita: Slow down. This is just a hook up
Joey: I know but I like to take photos of the women I’m lucky enough to woohoo and the lighting here doesn’t do you justice
Rita: Okay but if you get sexy pictures I get sexy pictures
Joey: Deal

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 2
Joey tries to get lucky at the romance festival despite not having any romantic feelings ever, and Alexander and James manage some alone time. Then Winterfest begins!
Tumblr media
We’re back and Joey is throwing ornaments at the tree with reckless abandon in an effort to… place the tree skirt?
James: What are you doing
Joey: Helping before I jet to the romance festival
James: I thought you were… sorry I’m trying to learn the right words. Aromantic?
Joey: Correct bro. But you know what the romance festival has? Dolled up chicks ready to meet me. Catch you on the flip
James: What do you think he means Gertrude? The flip of what? Honestly those bro sims
Gertrude: *meows in agreement*
Tumblr media
Joey arrives and the few sims who showed are not properly dressed. Better fix that. Don’t want another Jacob Volkov situation.
Joey: No girl is going to wear a skirt in this
Yumiko: Damn right
Joey: Oh hey, are you open
Yumiko: No, I just spawned here in a uniform for fun
Joey: How about helping a guy warm up
Yumiko: You’ll need a better line than that
Joey: I meant the ramen but if you’re offering something extra...
Tumblr media
Yumiko: That’ll be 12 simoleons
Joey: And with my smile
Yumiko: 12 simoleons
Joey: You drive a hard bargain but I like that in a woman
Yumiko: OMW it’s not my fault it’s a snowstorm and no other women appeared but you are done talking to me, okay?
So Joey takes his ramen and eats it alone. He does get a confidence boost from chopstick mastery though.
Tumblr media
Joey: You’re the guru right? Tell me, is there any point staying here? Will I find anyone
Guru: Matters of the heart are tricky to interpret
Joey: What about matters of the pixel parts
Guru: You do not care for romance?
Joey: Not at all. But like I want a kid someday so a partner of some kind might be okay, if she lets me woohoo her, and woohoo other women because have you seen the boobs in this save
Guru: I foresee you having to wait many moons to find a woman like that, but she will come along
Tumblr media
Joey doesn’t really know what to make of that “wisdom”. What do gurus even know? They’re coded to promote romance after all. Dude probably thought he could sway him but Joey is who he is.
*phone rings*
Joey: Well hey hot stuff, what’s up
Tuesday: I’m having an issue, can you swing by. I have a new place by the way
Joey: Text me the address and I’ll be there
Tuesday: You sure
Joey: What are friends with benefits for if not being at the mercy of each others whims
Tumblr media
Joey: You all right? You sounded tense on the phone
Tuesday: You know that guy I’ve been screwing
Joey: The redhead or the one who enjoys weightlifting
Tuesday: Not the redhead, he had the stamina of a goldfish
Joey: That’s not a saying
Tuesday: Point is, Mr weightlifting decides to give me the talk
Joey: Oh he did not
Tumblr media
Tuesday: Yet again it’s all “Oh Tuesday, I know you think you can’t feel love, but I feel love with you. Be my girlfriend, commit to me, and I’ll awaken the romance inside”
Joey: Damn alloromantic idiots
Tuesday: It’s such a shame because he was so good at woohoo, he always let me go first
Joey: You know who else is good at it? You
Tuesday: I am aren’t I
Joey: You are the queen of sighs, sexy glances and roving hands
Tuesday: Go on
Tumblr media
Joey: A woman as skilled as you will only be alone if she wants to be
Tuesday: What can I say, my study buddy keeps improving so I must strive to meet him
Joey: We starting down here then
Tuesday: Perk of the new house, no roomates. Scooch back
Joey: Hold on, I thought a gentleman always gets the lady off first
Tuesday: It’s good practice, but I’ve found you’re more creative if we do you first, and I want some creative tonight. So lean back, and close those pretty brown eyes
Tumblr media
Alexander: Bedtime now
Milton: Story first please
Alexander picks out a book and is reading away when Milton interrupts.
Milton: Will Father Winter really come tomorrow
Alexander: Tomorrow night, I promise
Milton: Do you think he can bring me mummy. I’ve been really good
Alexander: I’m sure you have but Milton… I don’t think Father Winter can deliver people
Milton sighs sadly and looks over at the photos of Bella that Dina was only too happy to let him have.
Alexander: Someday, somehow Milton, we’re going to figure out what happened
Tumblr media
A few more minutes of reading and Milton drifts off. James has been busy in the corner cuddling the cats within an inch of their nine lives.
Alexander: I can see you’re taking good care of the babies
James: Yes Hamlet, you’re my baby, aren’t you? Aren’t you?
Alexander: I’m so glad they make you smile, even if they are troublemakers
Tumblr media
James: Some of the best people are troublemakers. My favourite person is actually a homewrecker
Alexander: *laughs* Oh is he
James: Yep. I was married and he swept in and seduced me
Alexander: What a git
James: *laughs* I guess the bed is out for tonight but the shower still has plenty of space away from tiny ears
Alexander: Just don’t slip and hurt yourself sweets
The two head for the bathroom, lock the door, and have some precious alone time.
Tumblr media
In the bedroom Gertrude snores away but Hamlet is bored. The poor boy hasn’t been hugged in 10 whole minutes and breaks into an opera about the tragedy that is his life living in a mansion. Unsurprisingly this wakes Milton up, but to be fair he hates sleep time so probably would have woken up soon enough anyway.
Milton: Don’t cry Hamlet, I right here
Tumblr media
Milton picks a book out and begins to read to Hamlet who settles on the bed. When James and Alexander are both satisfied they make sure to get dressed before heading out of the bathroom, just in case.
Alexander: What are you doing up
Milton: Hamlet sad so I read story for cheer up
Alexander: That’s very kind of you but Hamlet is dramatic and it’s past your bedtime. Come on, time to sleep
Milton pushes himself up, deliberately going... as slow... as... he... can.
Tumblr media
Alexander tucks Milton in and then heads to bed. The next time Milton wakes up it’s not Hamlet’s fault, see, he’s got a scratching post alibi. Milton just needs to use the potty. Downstairs it seems that Gertrude has again decided to knock out the trash and play in it at a time when there’s no one to tell her off. Clever girl. When Milton returns he needs to shoo Hamlet off before he can get back in.
Tumblr media
Winterfest is upon us! Marta wakes up first, she’s used to being up early for her barista shifts. She takes some time to wish her family a merry Winterfest, and hopes they’re happy in the timeless save.
Keira: Have you ever slept in
Marta: Sorry carino, just feeling nostalgic
Keira: I’m sorry I never got to meet them
Marta: You’ll meet them one day, and I’ll see them again
Keira: I hope I’m good enough
Marta: Carino what am I always saying, do not talk yourself down. Now, come back to bed and I’ll show you how wonderful you are
Tumblr media
Keira: Aww, it’s not finished, Milton will be so sad
Marta: You have two hands do you not? We can finish it
Keira: I suppose all it needs is some ornaments and a topper
Marta: There, hardly any time at all
Keira: Should we light it
Marta: James was wanting to wait for the toddlers to all be here
Tumblr media
The first to make it their family Winterfest gathering is Joey who heads to Tartosa. After a quick family photo he spends some time catching up and exchanging gifts.
Tumblr media
Second stop for Winterfest is the Foster gathering in Sulani. Reece somehow cons Samir into wearing matching paired shirts and Clover gets lots of attention. Keira and Samir click over their mutual distrust of strangers and of course Carson and Reece poke fun at each other.
Tumblr media
And finally the Misters Goth have their family lunch. Milton tries to share the love with Savannah but she is not interested in getting along just right now. Seriously he can’t say anything to her in the friendly or funny categories? She can talk so not sure why they can’t communicate toddler to toddler
Tumblr media
You get a gift, and you get a gift, and you get a gift! Everyone gets a gift! Alexander got some upgrade parts, James got a new PC and Milton got his first voidcritter card. Then everyone gathers for that magic moment, the lighting of the tree (yes I forgot to do it earlier, we’re rolling with it people)

New Goth Household: Chapter 3, Part 1
In this part Milton struggles with nightmares, the household discuss their Winterfest plans and there are cats eating on the table... Sorry if there are typos in here, I'm setting it up while watching a livestream of a cat birth way past when I'm normally awake.
Tumblr media
Back to Willow Creek for the holidays! I love how beautiful this lot looks when it snows. The Halloween decorations have been exchanged for some light up snowmen and inside some Winterfest wreaths have been hung. How awesome is it that this household (which includes a toddler) got spun for Winterfest! I’m not sure how much story will actually go on this chapter as my brain has trouble handling so many sims at once but I’ll give it my best shot.
Tumblr media
Joey is still here for now. He finished his computer science degree last rotation. Well, technically he failed the last course due to a bug that stops my sims progressing with their uni coursework but luckily for me cheats helped me get him his deserved grade. He took the time to do homework, did an excellent presentation and took notes every class so there’s no way he did not deserve to pass.
Tumblr media
Keira is in her final year of university, that biology degree will be complete in no time. Her girlfriend Marta works as a barista and spends time practicing on the piano outside their room. I have doubled the delay in skill building as it doesn’t make sense to me how some of my YA’s can have level 10 anything so we will see how that goes. Also, against my better judgement, I have increased how hard it is to build and maintain relationships as some of my sims maintain a full relationship bar by calling each other once a week. It’s helpful but probably not too realistic.
Tumblr media
And in the newly renovated third floor we have Gertrude and Hamlet. Hamlet is no longer a kitten but a young cat. Also I swear I’m a responsible pet owner and Gertrude is spayed, I don’t know why she’s still making calls of love to the universe…
Tumblr media
Newlyweds Alexander and James are adjusting to Alexander’s youngest brother Milton living with them. They tried offering him his own room but it didn’t take. After the death of his father and the disappearance of his mother Milton wanted to sleep where he could see Alexander. He is understandably having a few nightmares. It might make it difficult for the couple to have any kind of woohoo life but both Alexander and James are determined to put Milton first.
Tumblr media
Sure enough Milton wakes up early and distressed. Climbing out of bed he bursts into tears, waking the slumbering couple.
Milton: Father dead! Mummy is dead! I’m dead! *wails*
James: It’s alright Milton, you’re safe now
Milton: I a flat pancake *wails*
Alexander: I’m coming buddy. Tell me what happened
Tumblr media
Milton: Rock that killed daddy fell again and killed mummy
Alexander: It was just a dream Milton, we don’t know that she’s dead
Milton: Then rock roll to me and I try run but I not fast and rock squish me flat. I dead!
James: That sounds rather terrifying
Alexander: You’re awake now Milton. You’re alive, you’re safe. How about some breakfast huh
Milton: I... I can has cereal?
Alexander: Of course
Alexander scoops up his brother to carry him down the two flights of stairs.
Milton: Silas at daycare say he best brother but you best brother
Alexander: *laughs* You’re pretty good to buddy
Tumblr media
Joey: So glad the watcher decided to give us a thermostat
James: I’m pretty sure I decided that
Joey: Sure. And you decided to rip out all your fireplaces for fun
Keira: I don’t mind, I’m still afraid of fire
Joey: Because now, we live in a green neighbourhood, go us!
Marta: A what
Alexander: He means it’s clean
Marta: Why not just say clean then. You simlish speakers
Tumblr media
Alexander: I’m so hungry. I can’t wait to-
Hamlet: *meows* what’s this
James: Hamlet you really shouldn’t be on the table
Hamlet: *meows* bite me dad
Alexander: Okay I’m starving, why does he have to rub eating in my face
Marta: Why is he eating human food? Do you not feed him. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he wakes us up through walls
James: We have several bowls and litter trays all over the place
Alexander: Hamlet, leave some for me!
Tumblr media
Milton tucks into his cereal happily eating the nightmares away. Keira begins her homework while Alexander manages to wrestle a plate of fruit salad from Hamlet.
James: Hamlet you really should not eat human food. It’ll mess up your insides
Hamlet: *hisses* Fight me
Marta: Any Winterfest plans
Joey: I’ll probably head to Tartosa, spend time with my parents
Marta: Keira was thinking we would visit her family too, spend some time in the sun
Tumblr media
Milton: We have guests and presents
Alexander: That’s right. Cassandra and Rahul are going to visit with their kids
Milton: Savannah meanine
Alexander: She’s spirited Milton, just remember you’re older
Marta: I might see if there’s any odd jobs I can swing today. I told them I could cover weekends but that hasn’t worked out
Keira: Their loss
Marta: Thanks carino, good luck with the homework. Remember, almost done
Tumblr media
Alexander: I need to start on mine but I have to get rid of this awful goatee first
Keira: Oh it is you. I thought it was a sasquatch using your voice
Milton: Sass- sass… sass catch
Gertrude jumps on the table and begins to eat.
Alexander: What the heck. Gertrude, you’re meant to be the older responsible one
Gertrude looks at him and pats the fruit salad questioningly
Alexander: Food is not a toy
Milton: *babbles to self about toys*
Tumblr media
James: You all finished eating
Milton: Cereal good and Joey snuck me juice
James: Of course he did
Milton: What we do today uncle James
James: Well we need to get ready for Winterfest but you’re a bit small to help with that. How about a nice hot bath
Milton: With… bubbles?
James: *laughs* bubble bath it is. Up we go mate
Tumblr media
It was here that I completely gave up battling the action queue cancelling and had my run of testing mods. Bjorn was super excited to help (not). But back to the actual stars of this story. Alexander began to shave off the goatee while Marta did daily yoga. Joey heard back from the job agency and he scored a role as an Ace Engineer in the Tech Guru path. Since he wants to be a start-up genius rolling in simoleons when not rolling in the ladies he gets to work polishing off his mobile app.
Tumblr media
Milton has a wonderful time splashing in the bath. I can’t really see the bubbles but the moodlets assure me they are there. When he’s chucked a decent amount of water from the tub James gets him out and into his day clothes. Milton uses the potty since he’s near it while James works on cleaning up all the bathtub overflow.
Tumblr media
Milton: Good kitty cat, good kitty
James: Hey Milton, do you want to go play? I need to do more cleaning
Milton: By Alexander please
James: I think he’s in the library working on his project
Milton: Can I have lift uncle James
James: I suppose your legs are still very short. Okay, hold on tight
Milton: *giggles*
James: Special delivery, one prince of the bubble bath
Alexander: You do make a great parent sweets
Milton: Alexander play?
Alexander: I’m a bit busy now buddy, maybe later. I’m sure someone will have time though
Tumblr media
Gertrude takes the time to sharpen her claws on an especially plump ottoman while Milton decides to have a play with the toy cars.
James: And what do you think you’re doing
Gertrude: *meows* who me? Being a cat
James: There is a lot of old furniture in this house Gerty, we can’t just tear it all to shreds
Gertrude: *meows* pretty sure I can actually
James: Now where has Hamlet run off to
James finds Hamlet in the downstairs bathroom and negotiates him leaving the room so he can vacuum up the puddles from the broken sink. Hamlet begrudgingly agrees.
Tumblr media
Marta: Hey tesorito, you doing okay
Milton: Want to learn more before birthday
Marta: Oh, I can help with that. Shall we go over your numbers
Milton: Flashcards? Flashcards!
Marta: I can see you’re excited. Okay, what’s this one
Milton thinks and tries to peer around to the back of the card
Marta: Hey, no peeking
Milton: Mummy let me
Marta: Oh I doubt that very much
Tumblr media
Alexander tends to his homework after doing a draft of his presentation. Following a workout Keira goes to find Marta.
Keira: What do we have here
Marta: Cheating
Milton: I not cheat
Gertrude: *meows* he would if he could
Keira: You can’t learn if you cheat and peek buddy
Milton: Oh, I want to learn... so maybe I not peek
Tumblr media
Having enough of flashcards for now Milton heads to the dollhouse but he doesn’t want to play alone. Keira joins him and the two make up a life for the doll characters. Milton can’t old back his love of books forever though and soon asks Keira for a story. She gets one and begins to read but Milton is so excited to hear it that he won’t even sit down.

New Goth Household: Chapter 2, Part 2
Keira has been crushing on Marta since she first saw her in the music suite below the library, but being a loner she struggles to communicate her feelings. Dina gave birth to twins after Mortimer met that meteor…
TW Brief mention of past emotional abuse
Keira and Marta meet up, grow closer, and Keira extends an invitation to the halloween party. Alexander and James enjoy some time alone. What remains of the Goth family (excluding Dina's newborns) meet up to usher in Halloween.
Tumblr media
So alone Keira head to Pepper's Downtown Strip where she gives Marta a call.
Marta: Hola
Keira: Hey, it's Keira
Marta: Si, I saw your name
Keira: Oh, right
Marta: Everything okay
Keira: If you're not busy I thought we could have a catch up at Pepper's
Marta: Si, give me a few minutes
Keira: Sure
Tumblr media
Marta: I hope I'm not late
Keira: Can't be late if we never set a time
Marta: Gracias
Keira: How have you been, I haven't seen you in the music suite lately
Marta: My idiot ex finally realised I was using his ID to access campus and took it back
Keira: Oh. He did...
Marta: Sorry, let's not talk of him
Tumblr media
Keira: I mean, I wouldn't like you thinking you couldn't talk to me about something
Marta: He really wasn't that interesting. But maybe there are some things you should know
Keira: Come on, tell me
While Keira tried to put on a happy face, her heart sank. It seemed like Marta was straight.
Tumblr media
If Keira couldn't romance her she could at least be a good friend and listen, right?
Marta: He seemed really nice. We had a, a whirlwind romance. Before I knew what was happening, we were living together
Keira: Sounds nice
Marta: It may have seemed like it, but it was not
Keira: What do you mean
Tumblr media
Marta: It was not much at first, just a joke here and there at my expense, I thought with Simlish as my second language I was being over sensitive
Keira: But you weren't
Marta: I was not. Everyday it was little things, chipping away at my confidence, spooking my friends, laughing when I hurt myself
Tumblr media
Marta: Finally enough was enough and I left
Keira: He hurt you
Marta: Only on the inside, I am stronger now because of it
Keira: That's why you're always telling me not to talk myself down
Marta: Si
Keira: Has he tried getting you back
Marta: Sometimes
Tumblr media
Keira: So, got any guys in your sights now
Marta: *laughs* No, no. I think I'll stick to girls for a while, like you
Keira: Like- like me?
Marta: You like girls, no
Keira: I... do. Yes... mm hmm
Marta: Good, a body like yours should not be wasted on a man
Keira could feel herself blushing at Marta's words.
Tumblr media
This conversation was suddenly going in a direction Keira had not expected and she tried to regain herself.
Keira: Are you always so forward
Marta: Do you not like compliments
Keira: No, I like compliments as much as the next girl
Marta: I apologise if I made you uncomfortable
Keira: I'm not uncomfortable
Tumblr media
Keira: But since we're on the subject you have to know you're a knockout
Marta: Gracias but you are changing the subject from you
Keira: What about me
Marta: You really do not like to talk yourself up, do you
Keira: I know ex's are bad conversation but since you told me about yours... mine cheated on me because I wouldn't woohoo her back in high school
Tumblr media
Marta: She was loca
Keira: You know her?
Marta: I do not have to. Cheating on you would be loca
Keira: I... Thanks
Marta: Right answer
Keira: *laughs* So, um, tomorrow is Halloween
Marta: Si
Keira: My roommates are throwing a party, and there'll be a karaoke machine. Will you come to it?
Tumblr media
Marta: You want me to sing in front of people
Keira: Half of them will be too wasted to notice, but yeah, I like hearing your voice
Marta: If you want me there, I'll be there
Keira: Oh, it's dress up, so you'll need a costume
Marta: I'm sure I can think of something by then
Keira: So tomorrow then
Tumblr media
Marta: Tomorrow
Keira: I'll text you the address
Marta: Adios
As Marta pulled Keira in for an embrace she felt a weight lift from her chest. She had tried to convince herself she didn't care if Marta was interested in her, but holding her close she knew that this was exactly what she wanted.
Tumblr media
Keira: You feeling any better
Alexander: Yes. James gave me some tea and sent me to nap, now I'm all good
While James made some pumpkin stew the students sat and finished off the homework they had left. Finishing it today would mean they could properly enjoy Halloween and their party.
Tumblr media
Joey was the first to finish his coursework. Satisfied he'd done enough work today he opened the Mix & Mingle app and checked which women nearby were cool for a casual hook up. After finding one he went outside to let her in, worried she'd think the mansion address was him catfishing her.
Tumblr media
Nala: You really live here
Joey: It's technically my friends house but yes
Nala: And you're so young, normally when people say 20 on the app they're actually 30
Joey: Don't mistake my youth for inexperience though, I have some skill
Nala: Is that so
Joey: Come upstairs and see
Tumblr media
As normal, Joey checked before getting intimate that Nala understood he wouldn't develop romantic feelings. He had no interest in woohooing someone who wanted to prove differently. Luckily she felt the same. They got to it and Joey's count raised to four. Again, like normal, he took a quick photo.
Tumblr media
After being sick Alexander had a lot of coursework left so sent James upstairs to nap, promising to join him when he could. Technically he didn't have to get a degree, he'd get enough money in inheritance and marriage, but he knew is mother would want him to get one. Eventually he climbed upstairs.
Tumblr media
He didn't like waking James up but his fiancé insisted that he always wake him when he got to bed.
Alexander: Wake up sweets
James: Hmm
Alexander: I'm here
James: Did you get your homework done
Alexander: Yes Mr Ryan. Can I give you a massage to boost my grade
James: I'll have you know I'm immune
Tumblr media
Alexander: Immune to my charms
James: Never, just immune to grade tampering
Alexander: I know, I'm not my father
James: Thank the watcher for that
Alexander: Now are you sure you're okay with hosting a wild college party
James: This is our home, I want you happy here
Alexander: I'm happy with you
Tumblr media
James: As I am with you, but I don't want you cheated of the college experience because you're tethered to me
Alexander: I want to be tethered to you
James: The wedding is this week, think of the Halloween party as a bachelor party love
Alexander: Promise me if you get tired you'll rest, okay
Tumblr media
James: Yes
Alexander: Because I want as much time with you as possible
James: What for exactly
Alexander: Accompany me to bed and find out
Alexander needs to be careful not to let James overexert himself, but they still manage to have a good time.
Tumblr media
Dina: Are you here to see your siblings
Alexander: I don't care about your suspicious offspring, what are you wearing?
Dina: I'm dressed as a zombie. Your brother loved doing the make up
Alexander: Whatever, can I take him to Cassandra's for Halloween
Dina: Today only, you bring him right back after or so help me
Tumblr media
Halloween time! I almost lost my mind when I found toddler costumes for Savannah and Mercedes that matched their honeybee and little ladybug nicknames. Of course we had to make sure each toddler got a copy of the photo for their futures. And couldn't visit without seeing Savannah throw a fuss.
Tumblr media
James chatted to Rahul and Cassandra while Alexander said hi to his nieces. He gave each of them a family kiss. In response they autonomously gave him a loving hug. Little cuties!
Tumblr media

Chopra Household: Chapter 4, Part 1
Checking in with the Chopra's. Rahul and Cassandra are ready to leave behind the charms of their first home together in Willow Creek to build a new life for them and their daughters in Rahul's hometown of Henford-on-Bagley. Highlights include Dina wishing them badbye instead of goodbye, the new garden being invaded by bunnies and Lavina stopping by to see how her son and his family are settling in. Does Mercedes want to say her first word yet?
Tumblr media
Next household is the Chopra family. Mercedes welcomes me back with an adorable thumb sucking session. Cassandra makes sure she is fed while Rahul tends to Savannah.
Tumblr media
Night night time. It'll be a big day once it dawns so both girls could use a good sleep. Rahul kisses Savannah goodnight and she is soon snoring on her belly. Like usual Mercedes is a little trickier, requiring extra attention to stop panicking and fall asleep soundly.
Tumblr media
Despite Mercedes being an early riser, Savannah is first to wake up this morning. Early start, here we come. Rahul scoops up Mercedes and calms her down since she woke up angry. While Cassandra feeds Savannah, Rahul changes Mercedes, and gets peed on again! Oops
Tumblr media
It's a cloudy day in Willow Creek as the Chopra's get ready to move. Rahul takes a last look around the house, his first nest with Cassandra. With Bella missing and Mortimer dead there is little to keep them here any longer. Nevertheless he'll miss the walls where his two little girls were made.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Let's see. Blankets, packed
Mercedes: oy ba do
Cassandra: Yes little ladybug, I've got the toys
Savannah: Fun oy da ba
Cassandra: You are a little chatterbox aren't you
Mercedes: *coos* MA AH
Cassandra: Do you need something
Mercedes: *waves*
Cassandra: *waves back* well hello precious
Tumblr media
*Doorbell rings*
Rahul: Probably the movers. Wait, Dina? What are you doing here?
Dina: Being civilised. I know you're moving-
Rahul: Gee I wonder why
Dina: And I thought I'd bring my son to say goodbye
Rahul: He's not your son
Dina: Tell that to my lawyer sweetcheeks
Mercedes: *blows raspberry*
Tumblr media
Rahul: You are-
Dina: Buh bye! Now Milton son say goodbye
Milton: Bye?
Dina: See
Rahul: You won't get away with this Dina
Dina: Really? To me you running away means victory
Rahul: Henford is my home, I'm returning
Dina: You're lucky I gave you some of the Goth capital for the move, remember that
Tumblr media
Milton: Bye bye Sav
Mercedes: *coos and babbles I'm Mercedes in his direction*
Rahul: We're moving because we know how to put family first, we'll get Milton away from you
Dina: but will he want to leave me and my darling sister who fuss over him to live with his older brother and his decrepit fiancé, I doubt it
Tumblr media
Rahul: You're so rude
Dina: Also pregnant. That's right sweetcheeks, Milton stays with me and he gets baby siblings. Try dragging him away from them
Milton: Cassandra, I get to be big brother
Cassandra: What
Dina: Turns out twins run in our family
Cassandra: Are they even-
Dina: Mortimers? Of course
Tumblr media
Milton: Bye Cassandra
Cassandra: Bye, you remember mummy okay
Milton: I miss mummy
Dina: I'm mummy
Cassandra: Bella will always be your mummy Milton, we'll find her
Dina: *scoffs*
Cassandra: Now, this is still my house for the next hour, so Dina, GTFO
Mercedes: *giggles*
Cassandra: Come ladybug
Tumblr media
In the nursery it seems Savannah wants to get one last milestone in before we leave.
Rahul: Look at her
Cassandra: Pull honeybee pull
Savannah: *standing up* Fun
Mercedes cries at the injustice of it all. She already completed this milestone last rotation now her talkative twin is stealing her glory.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Hey little ladybug, you're amazing too
Mercedes: go ba da na
Rahul: Everything packed
Cassandra: Just this room left
Rahul: Shall I get the girls in the non existent car
Casandra: *laughs* let's get out of here
Rahul: Henford-on-Bagley, here we come. You'll love it there girls, I promise
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, when we arrive it's still early and cloudy so not the best for pictures. Cassandra feeds the chickens while Mercedes fusses. Rahul starts on planting his new garden while Savannah snoozes in the back carrier. I know I can place the old plants, but I want to be semi realistic.
Tumblr media
Mercedes seems unwilling to nap in the back carrier so on to plan 2, rocking chair nap with mama. The chair is under shelter so we should be safe if it starts raining. Mercedes is much happier with this set up and her exhaustion catches up to her, she sleeps!
Tumblr media
Chicken check in! Mrs Feathers is nestled in the coop. Melon and the newly christened Floofy are doing their best to blend in with the food piles. Mr Cluckton is sleeping and little Snuggles is chasing Squidge. I've turned their aging back on, but they all are registering as chicks so who knows?
Tumblr media
The twins are sleeping soundly and Rahul is still busy planting when an invader appears! I do my best not to be fooled by it's adorable appearance, my yard is littered with produce waiting to be planted. Look bunny...
🎵Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break 🎶
Tumblr media
🎵Every step you take, I'll be watching you🎶
IS THAT MY UNPLANTED BASIL! Okay it's not, crisis over. That's right Melon, you yell in the bunny's direction. That'll stop- oh look, another one. They seem to be leaving the produce for planting alone so I guess they can stay and be cute.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Hey big guy, your mum is coming over
Rahul: Don't call me that when she is here, she hates innuendo
Cassandra: *laughs* Come on little ladybug, upsy daisy time, nana is coming
Mercedes: *yawns*
...
Cassandra: Just sit here a second
Mercedes: *blows raspberry*
Lavina: Still learning her manners I see
Tumblr media
Cassandra: She's only 2
Lavina: Now how is your mother, still missing or presumed dead
Rahul: Mother
Lavina: Did I speak out of turn
Cassandra: I just try not to think about it because it hurts, I miss her so much
Lavina: There there dear, she's bound to show up somewhere eventually, as is Rahul's father
Rahul: *rolls eyes*
Tumblr media
The family head inside, the twins get a snack. Savannah gets her liked yoghurt melts but there is something suspicious about one of them. It looks strangely similar to the banana chips her sister is getting. She toots in annoyance while Mercedes realises she loves the banana chips she was unsure of.
Tumblr media
Lavina: I'm so glad you decided to move my grandbabies closer to me
Rahul: Remember mum-
Lavina: Yes yes, they are your babies first, I know
Mercedes: Fun co do
Lavina: speaking already, how marvellous
Mercedes: *sulks* da gu
Rahul: Don't worry little ladybug I'm sure you'll say your first word when you're ready
Tumblr media
Cassandra encourages Savannah to talk to her nana. Savannah does her best and they initially have a positive relationship. As Savannah continues to coo however the bar slowly drops! Mercedes waves at her nana who smiles back. Cassandra calls to say she needs a day off work, moving is stressful.
Tumblr media
I don't understand why the interactions between Savannah and Lavina keep showing as loss icons, but keep trying honey. Cassandra tops Mercedes up and cleans her off before putting her down. Next Savannah is in need of a diaper change so Cassandra scoops her up and takes her to the nursery.
Tumblr media
Savannah is adorable during the change and gladly accepts a bottle. I hear a cry, Mercedes is exhausted poor thing. Quickly Cassandra puts Savannah down to nap and goes to the rescue. Mercedes is comforted, snuggled and placed down for her own nap. Of course she requires a lullaby and being soothed.

Goth Household: Chapter 7, Part 5
Final part is up for the Goths. Things are rockier than I had anticipated. The Caliente sisters have started working in the Goth mansion and Bella has disappeared. Mortimer reflects and Dina delivers some uncomfortable news to the Goth children.
TW: This part contains sim death and afterlife depictions
Tumblr media
Mortimer is busy raising his logic skill outside when he spots something. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope. It's a physics defying meteor heading right towards him! Doesn't even make a hole in the house.
Tumblr media
Turns out fate overrides my story plans and the meteorite lands with a cloud of dust on top of Mortimer. Alas the meteorite is not worth any simoleons. Here comes Grimm to seal the deal. Unless someone can convince him otherwise...
Tumblr media
Looks like Grimm is waiting for Milton to descend the steps before going over to Mortimer, how polite of him. Dina comes outside and is immediately struck by how lovely and clean the air is. Eventually she realises Mortimer has been killed and grief and panic set in.
Tumblr media
Since she is feeling flirty Dina goes and attempts to seduce Grimm into spearing Mortimer. He just laughs at her. Milton may have disliked his father but witnessing his death is scary, especially as no one knows where him mummy is. He has a cry and even Grimm feels horrified at the situation.
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Oh that was close, better post about it
Olive: Really
Mortimer: My followers will love it, wait, no signal
Olive: Can't get signal in a place that doesn't exist physically
Mortimer: Huh
Olive: You died
Mortimer: Take me back, I'm a global superstar, I'm not finished
Olive: It doesn't work that way, strap in superstar
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Strap in? What is going on
Olive: Can you tell me what was happening here
Mortimer: Bella was complaining
Olive: About what
Mortimer: I don't remember
Olive: Why not
Mortimer: I guess... I just stopped listening to her
Olive: Why? You were in love
Mortimer: We were, for half a minute
Tumblr media
Olive: I don't think a couple of decades of marriage is half a minute
Mortimer: What do you know? You hang out on a beach, you probably don't even have a degree
Olive: I do not
Mortimer: Has she... you know
Olive: Travelled on my ferry? Oh dude I'm not telling you either way, spoilers!
Tumblr media
Olive: What's this
Mortimer: Milton was being rude so I told him off
Olive: Was he being rude, or was he learning to talk
Mortimer: He should learn manners no matter how young
Olive: And what about here? Should he be learning manners here
Mortimer: I was mad at him for drawing attention so...
Olive: So...
Mortimer: I crushed his dreams alright!
Tumblr media
Olive: Did he deserve that
Mortimer: He needed to learn that the world is a tough place. He cries for his mummy with every problem. He needs to harden up, and grow up.
Olive: Should he learn that lesson from his father
Mortimer: Who are you, the parenting police? Do you have children
Olive: I have Captain
Mortimer: Dogs don't count
Olive: Excuse you but fur babies absolutely count
Tumblr media
Mortimer: This memory isn't relevant
Olive: Watcher says it is
Mortimer: Fine. I'm telling James if he doesn't cancel his engagement to Alexander I'll tell the school board he seduced his student
Olive: How'd that go
Mortimer: He told me Alexander would never forgive me, and he would love him still. What kind of idiot isn't afraid of criminal charges?
Tumblr media
Mortimer: This exercise is ridiculous! Don't even start showing me how I supposedly failed Cassandra
Olive: Actually we don't have film to roll of that
Mortimer: You seem to have everything else
Olive: Turns out you hadn't spent enough time talking to her or her daughters, you know you're granddaughters, for you to have deep memories
Mortimer: That- that can't be right
Olive: It is
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Dina. Why am I seeing her
Olive: Looks like she made an impression on you
Mortimer: She did. I only knew her a day but I could see myself happy with her
Olive: I'm sorry when any love is cut short
Mortimer: I knew things were over with Bella, they have been for longer than I'd wanted to admit. Dina was there, absolutely perfect for me
Tumblr media
Olive: Despite appearances this isn't meant to be a guilt trip. I don't care how good or bad you were. I care about you being ready to move on
Mortimer: To the timeless save
Olive: Yes. All sims deserve to rest, no matter what they have or have not done
Mortimer: I did what I thought was right
Olive: Then, deep breath, and let it all go
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Hold on, am I a teen again
Gunther: Greetings son
Mortimer: Father? Mother?
Cornelia: It's good to see you again
Mortimer: I missed you both, a lot
Gunther: We know son, we know
*Gunther from gallery ID: Eccapss
*Cornelia from gallery ID: 15_Vasi_06
Tumblr media
Mortimer: I tried to grow the Goth fortune
Cornelia: Don't worry about that now
Mortimer: Shouldn't you be in white
Gunther: We're Goth's son, black is kind of our thing
Mortimer: *laughs*
Cornelia: Welcome to forever darling
And with that Mortimer is at peace in the timeless save
Tumblr media
Dina: We had such a short time together
Milton: Father is dead
Nina: Yeah kiddo he is
Milton: I miss my mummy. I want my mummy!
Alexander: What is going on?
Dina: What are you doing here
Cassandra: James saw the meteorite and I saw Grimm hanging around across the street. What have you done to father? Is he dead?
Nina: We did nothing! No one can control meteorites
Tumblr media
The Calientes continue to sob while the Goth children are in shock at the loss so soon after their mother has been declared missing.
Alexander: I know this isn't how we imagined being engaged would look like but could we...
James: Absolutely love, he's family
Dina: What are you talking about?
Alexander: We'll adopt Milton
Tumblr media
Dina: You can't do that! It is a violation of the contract!
Alexander: Weird joke. We need to gather his things
Dina: You're not taking him anywhere
James: Who put you in charge
Nina: Our contract stated if anything were to happen to Bella and Mortimer we would be Milton's guardians and control the estate
Tumblr media
Cassandra: You two? Look after my brother and our money? You're strangers!
Dina: You wouldn't want to upset your fathers last wishes now would you dear
Cassandra: I don't care what he wished, that isn't right
Dina: Calm down, I don't care for your tone
Cassandra: I will not calm down. You are not family. You have no right to him or our money
Tumblr media
Dina: Tell that to the lawyers
Alexander: Can we visit
Nina: Maybe you could-
Dina: Not until you accept the situation
Milton: *confused and sad*
Dina: Come son, we're going home
With that Dina scoops Milton up and she and Nina walk away from the rest of the family who are reeling from the shock
Tumblr media
Nina: Did we really have to announce it like that
Dina: They would have found out about the contract sooner or later
Nina: And if they discover it's fake
Dina: It is not fake. He may have signed it after a particularly long woohoo session but he signed it
Nina: And I'm meant to say I saw this
Dina: Yes
Tumblr media
Dina: It needs to have had two witnesses so that's our story
Nina: But what now? What do we do with this estate
Dina: We're going to run this estate and gleam every penny we can before Milton comes of age, by then he has to love us enough to support us financially
Nina: Turn on the charm, got it
Tumblr media
So the sisters become invested in Milton's happiness. If they look after him then, when the estate is no longer theirs, he may look after them. For now, Nina plays the doting aunt and Dina takes over the bedtime reading to her "son". Okay this rotation is finished for real now.

Goth Household: Chapter 6, Part 3
The end of this chapter for the Goths.
Tumblr media
Most weekdays pass in the some pattern for a while. Milton is read to sleep but inevitably gets up despite being exhausted, meaning he sleeps in a lot. He mostly goes to daycare while his parents are working but looks at books when he gets home since he can't read just yet.
Tumblr media
Mortimer and Bella continue sleeping in separate rooms but when they both have a day off she finally gets him to cross the road.
Mortimer: It's snowing pretty hard
Bella: A little snow never killed anyone
Mortimer: Except everyone who has ever frozen to death
Bella: Just go knock
Tumblr media
Knock, and the door will open!
Mortimer: Anyone here?
Cassandra: Of course father
Mortimer: Are my granddaughters...
Rahul: In the main bedroom
Mortimer goes in and coos at both of the twins. This unfortunately wakes them up and the girls get upset.
Mortimer: Shush, calm down
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Father I've got this
Mortimer: I'll talk to Rahul *leaves*
Cassandra: There there, did you just need a comfort bottle?
Bella: You're so good with them
Cassandra: I learned from you remember. What I don't know, Rahul and I puzzle out together, as a team
Tumblr media
Bella also gets Mortimer to go visit James when Alexander is in the neighbourhood.
Mortimer: This place is huge
Alexander: It's been in his family for generations apparently
Bella: You'll need a map when you move in
Alexander: Tell me about it, there's so many rooms
Tumblr media
Mortimer: How's teaching
James: It's fine but I'll probably stop once Alexander moves in
Milton: ander! ander!
Alexander: Yes Milton
Milton: Car, Car! Vroom!
Bella: It's his favourite toy right now, he'll probably name it soon
Alexander: It looks very... red?
Milton: *giggles*
Tumblr media
James: He's so good with kids
Bella: I was afraid when I got pregnant that he and his sister would struggle but they love Milton
James: Families should love each other
Bella: In an ideal world, yes
James: If things with Mortimer ever get more difficult, you're welcome here
Tumblr media
Bella: I would never give up my home without a fight but thank you
Alexander: What are you two discussing
James: The wedding of course
Bella: Are you thinking big do, small affair, tell me your plans
James: We're still brainstorming
Bella: Whatever it is, I'll be there
Tumblr media
Happy to report that Milton can now talk. For the moment it's the end of the Goth round. Mortimer and Bella are still in their rough patch and are no longer soulmates. Will Milton reaching toddlerhood make things better or worse in the coming weeks? I do not know.

Goth Household: Chapter 6, Part 2
Tumblr media
It's Milton's birthday today, he's ready to become a toddler. However it isn't lunch yet and Mortimer has already passed minding duties on to son-in-law Rahul. Get your stress ball ready for Mortimer being a *insert accurate swear word*
Rahul: Hello Milton
Milton: Hello
Rahul: Wait wait wait, buddy! Was that your first word?
Milton: Hello
Rahul: Say it again, I need to take a video for your mummy
Milton: Hello Mummy
Rahul: Perfect!
Milton: *giggles*
Tumblr media
Rahul: You hungry buddy?
Milton: ood! ood!
Rahul: You ever tried rice pudding? I had it all the time in Henford
Milton: um, um
Rahul: I like it to
Milton: Out
Rahul: You want out already?
Milton: ileone
Rahul: Okay buddy I'm getting you out. I better grab my phone, hold on
Tumblr media
Milton: *blows raspberry*
Rahul: Aww, adorable, your mummy will love it
Milton: *giggles*
Rahul: I wish I had time to clean you up but I got to get back to my girls, bye bye buddy
Milton: ye ye
Upstairs Mortimer is working on his piano skill, oblivious
Tumblr media
Bella was promoted to government agent today but doesn't feel like celebrating. After checking on a napping Milton she goes to find Mortimer.
Bella: Did you see what our son did today?
Mortimer: No but I made the cake
Bella: That's what's important?
Mortimer: It's what you asked
Tumblr media
Bella: He said his first word
Mortimer: Boy is a genius already
Bella: Yes but I got told by Rahul, not by you
Mortimer: I had friends over, I was busy
Bella: You're always busy. If you're not writing the next groundbreaking novel you're up here clunking away
Mortimer: Be careful
Tumblr media
Mortimer: The piano is delicate
Bella: That's the concern?
Mortimer: I'm not the one who arrived home and picked a fight. You asked me to make a cake, I made it. You didn't ask me to watch Milton 24/7
Bella: We're his parents, that's the job
Mortimer: Where were you then
Tumblr media
Bella: I was at work
Mortimer: Exactly If you're so concerned about missing milestones maybe YOU should stay home
Bella: But I love my work
Mortimer: You're his mother, you're meant to put him before everything else so why don't you watch him
Bella: *gasps softly*
Tumblr media
Bella: I spend most of my time home with him, if I've somehow failed-
Mortimer: There's no if about it. Mothers tend to the children and fathers bring home the money
Bella: When did this become about me
Mortimer: Since you tried to make it about me, I'm just returning the favour
Tumblr media
Bella: Stop acting like a child
Mortimer: Takes one to know one
Bella: I don't think I want you in my room tonight
Mortimer: Maybe I don't want you in MY room tonight
Bella: Enough! I'm going to go make sure our son has good memories of today, you stay up here alone if you wish
Tumblr media
Bella goes and wakes Milton up. Mortimer decides not to be stubborn and goes down, gets the cake out of the fridge and adds the candles. Then Milton decides to squeeze in a last milestone, waving. There is no picture because a creepy glitch happened so imagine a wave.
Tumblr media
Bella: Time to blow out the candles sunshine
Milton: Why
Bella: So you can grow up. Come on, big breath in and make a wish
Milton: Cake
Bella: Just copy me sunshine
Together the two extinguish the candles and Milton is all ready to become a toddler. Cue the magic sparkles...
Tumblr media
Milton spins into a toddler. He has rolled the charmer trait which fits nicely with him having been a sunny infant. The colour of his top will be his second favourite colour as soon as I figure out if it's meant to be pink, red, or orange...
Tumblr media
A few minutes later and Milton has his toddler look sorted, his curls are back! He also had glasses in one outfit so needs glasses like his older siblings. After Bella reads him to sleep she calls in a vacation day at work before going to sleep in a different bed than Mortimer.
Tumblr media
Not long after time speeds up, a notification appears. Milton hates bedtime and is up to cry at Bella. To try cheer him up Bella plays with him before tucking him back into bed. Let's hope he stays asleep this time as Bella is exhausted.
Tumblr media
Success, Milton sleeps until the morning. Breakfast is mashed peas since as an infant he disliked yoghurt and applesauce.
Mortimer: What are you doing home
Bella: Looking after my son
Mortimer: I didn't mean to guilt you into missing work
Bella: Then you shouldn't have said it
Tumblr media
Mortimer: I let my pride get the best of me
Bella: I'll go to work after his bath if you mean it
Mortimer: I'll look after him
Bella: Is it all right to use the bath Sarah
Sarah: Absolutely Mrs Goth, almost finished in here
So after the bubbles get everywhere Bella heads to work.
Tumblr media
Milton: Up up
Mortimer: Here we go
Milton: fat her, fat her
Sarah: What did he say
Mortimer: Fat her, maybe he meant father
Sarah: I'll be going
Mortimer: Milton, you have to be careful what you say! Mind your manners!
Milton: *confusion*
Mortimer: Stay there and think about it!
Tumblr media
Milton doesn't know what Mortimer means, it was a lot of big words. He decides to babble to himself (he loves sounds) while Mortimer follows Sarah to make sure they don't lose another maid.
Mortimer: You have to understand, he's young
Sarah: I do understand, my kid was the same
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Is there anything I can do to make it better
Sarah: Well, I'm a big fan, can I have an autograph
Mortimer: Absolutely, I have a photo right here
Sarah: Thank you! If you ever need me to do anything to make things better, just let me know
Mortimer: The clean house helps
Tumblr media
Mortimer: Have you thought about your manners
Milton: annas?
Mortimer: Manners. Do you need a drink?
Milton: ilk!
Mortimer: You mean milk, milk starts with M like Milton, milk
After a quick snack Mortimer helps Milton learn to potty for a bit before he goes back to writing.
Tumblr media
Milton wobbles to the study and encounters the bookcase. While playing he discovers he loves books, just like his father and Alexander. The boys have an awkward dinner which establishes their difficult family dynamic. Bella gets home to a sleeping Milton still in his high chair.

New Goth Household: Chapter 2, Part 7
After what feels like forever I have finished the rotation for this household. Apologies for the many parts, so much happened in their week. In this part the wedding happens, consequences of Milton running off are revealed, and Keira feels ready to take things with Marta further.
Tumblr media
Context: This is how I wanted the wedding lighting. Unfortunately I discovered in the hours around dusk it's dark outside and lights on full illuminate nothing. Note to future self, sims evening outside weddings to begin no earlier than 9pm
Friday dawns cloudy but after putting it off I've finally set up the backyard for James and Alexander's wedding. I'm having an issue with the lights but hopefully it will resolve by the time the ceremony starts. For now the cats are happy and the young adults are working out before their final exams.
Tumblr media
Alexander: Good morning my fiancé
James: Good morning love
Alexander: Ready to get married
James: Ready for your exam
Alexander: I'm not worrying, it's not the most important thing happening today
James: Got morning plans
Alexander: I might do. Cake shopping with the man I love
James: Sounds perfect
Tumblr media
Alexander: So this is Tartosa is it
James: The only place to buy wedding cake apparently
Alexander: Joey wanted to make one for us but he didn't have enough baking skill
James: It was nice of him to offer
Alexander: There's the shop. What's our strategy
James: Charm and wit
Alexander: Will that work
Tumblr media
James: I could throw in some elder animations to really sell it
Alexander: Good idea
Vendor: Welcome to the only cake shop, how may I assist you today
Alexander: We're hoping to buy a wedding cake
James: I don't have much time left and I want to spend it with this young man. Ouch! My old back hurts so bad
Tumblr media
Vendor: Oh how sweet, tell you what 25% off the stock
James: You are an angel
They couple pick a square cake with blue edges and put it away for the ceremony
James: Race you to the beach love
Alexander: That'll give the act away
James: What's she going to do, steal the cake back because I can run
Tumblr media
Alexander: Oh sweets, look at this beach
James: Not as handsome as you
Alexander: That's so corny
James: You love my corncob
Alexander: *laughs* I do
James: Want to honeymoon here then
Alexander: We can't go on honeymoon, our household is too complex
James: We can go between rotations
Alexander: I'll draw my answer
Tumblr media
Keira: And that's why the chicken crossed the road
Marta: Carino what are you doing
Keira: Me? Nothing
Marta: Come on
Keira: I was just trying to get in the headspace for the ceremony, so many sims
Marta: Don't focus on the crowds
Keira: How
Marta: Focus on James and Alexander, or focus on me
Tumblr media
Keira: You're so ro- Are you wearing that
Marta: Why, is it no good
Keira: More like too good, you look so hot
Marta: All the better to please you with
Keira: I'll have to hope my high school friends don't steal you away
Marta: Don't worry carino, I only have eyes for you. Your brain, your beauty
Tumblr media
Keira: You're really trying to distract me
Marta: Is it working
Keira: Very much. Maybe later on...
Marta: Si
Keira: When everyone has left...
Marta: Si
Keira: If we're not too tired...
Marta: We could...
Keira: Woohoo *giggles*
Marta: If you're ready
Keira: I'm so ready for you
Tumblr media
Marta: Think you'll be able to ignore the masses now
Keira: I do
Marta: Who's coming then
Keira: Alexander's family, our high school friends, Nina and Dina, oh and Reece and Deanna are coming as plus ones for me and Joey
Marta: I thought I was your plus one
Keira: Living here you get your own invite by default
Tumblr media
Alexander: Smile!
James: Why is your generation obsessed with selfies
Alexander: You're one to talk Mr self absorbed
James pulls him in for a kiss.
James: You sure this is what you want
Alexander: I promise, you are what I want
James: Then I guess the next time we kiss we'll be husbands
Tumblr media
And so begins my attempt to capture good photos. Turns out the lights in the backyard don't illuminate enough at dusk so pictures are moved to a front balcony in sunlight. I foolishly decide to leave the family photo until later, I just couldn't do it here because who can see toddlers with the rail... So yeah the wedding photos are edited a bit in an effort to be able to see what is even happening
Tumblr media
One last kiss for luck, guests all in their assigned seats and we're off. Good luck sims, break a leg. Dina and Nina are here as Milton's guardians. There's no way Dina was letting Milton come without her.
Tumblr media
Toddlers get prime viewing seats. Savannah and Mercedes are in front of their parents Rahul and Cassandra. Milton is on the other side beside Keira. I was not letting Dina sit in front. Joey and Marta are in front of Reece and Deanna. Then the other side is filled by high school friends.
Tumblr media
Time for vows
James: I never thought I'd get to marry a man, I certainly didn't think I'd find one like you. You see past peoples appearances and into their souls. Every day I will strive to be the man you deserve. I love you more than words express. I promise to cherish you till death us do part
Tumblr media
Alexander: Your courageous heart is worth more than simoleons could buy. We did not have a traditional start, and we probably won’t have a traditional ending, but every day with you has been a blessing. You show me what a man can be, and should be. I promise to cherish you till death us do part
Tumblr media
The ceremony concluded, it's time for cake! Apparently you can't cut it together on this table. So James takes the top slice over to Alexander and they share the first taste. The Tartosan's sure can bake.
Tumblr media
Alexander: We need to talk
Dina: Bizarre vows, we all know you married him for his money
Alexander: We're taking Milton
Dina: Excuse me
Alexander: You think a property this big doesn't have security? I have footage of Milton arriving alone, and phone logs show for 3 hours you didn't call anyone

Dina: I've never neglect-
Alexander: The courts disagree
Dina: You may have him but the money is mine
Alexander: I may not be able to get it back yet but believe me, I will. When Me and my husband return from our honeymoon I expect Milton here with all his possessions
Dina: Fine, but this isn't over

I decided to take the first family photo indoors since the lighting was still being a hassle. Look at these toddlers! The wedding certainly put Cassandra in a romantic mood as she passionately kisses Rahul with not a care in the world. Finally, this newlyweds picture has the lighting I wanted.
Tumblr media
With the lights shining properly Keira and Joey got a photo with their siblings. Another family photo got taken outside despite the toddlers being very tired. Finally a perfect shot of the spousal kiss! If you ignore Mercedes waddling in front which I did. And the first dance of Mr and Mr Goth. Damn, I'm going to have to figure out the changed tag...

Marta: Carino the ceremony was wonderful
Keira: I'm so glad it's over though
Marta: Oh
Keira: Now I can focus on us
Marta: Before we-
Keira: Woohoo
Marta: Yes, we should probably talk about ground rules
Keira: Ground rules?
Marta: Not all my past woohoo has been good, it's important to communicate
Tumblr media
Marta: I know what I'm not comfortable with, but you may not know yet
Keira: There are some things I've thought about
Marta: Tell me. I want you to have a good time. If you're uncomfortable with anything, just say so and I'll stop. Likewise if there are some specifics you want to try...
So after a long talk, initially awkward but necessary, the two women finally woohoo.
Tumblr media
That's it for the- oh wait. Alexander and James are spending the time between rotations on honeymoon and have some pictures of themselves in Tartosa that I can share. Until next time lads.
