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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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
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
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
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!
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
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
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*
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
