Chapter 2.6

Welcome back after a long, long ass time.

We start off with Kiwi wanting to play a game with Mom, so Fudge asks him to join her.

 

I put in a new mod, which lets you pick a new LTW when one is completed.  Fudge completes four more, but they will not be counted for points.  Just collecting Happy Points.

I got a pop up that Papaya’s curfew was soon.  I found her at school setting traps.

The next day when Fudge leaves, it’s the first time in eons that there are no kids in the house.  There’s only Plum and Blackberry.

Blackberry spends the day video gaming.

And with no teens or kids underfoot, Plum cleans.

I swear that uncooked platter has been out for two days…either that or he cleaned it up already and is making more food.

After school, I caught Blackberry telling Orange to do her homework.

Blackberry:  I heard a rumor that in order to move this generation along, all A’s get to move the hell out.  Get that homework going, girlie.

Another award for Fudge.

This would be awesome if she didn’t lose and gain it back every other day.

Getting level 9 is the reason she got her star back.

Fudge returns home from winning her award to congratulate Papaya and Mango on their A’s (no honor roll though).

Everyone:  *toot toot*

Blackberry:  Yes, yes, enjoy that cake, Mango, then get the heck out.

After work the next day after the birthday, Fudge winds up finding Charlie out and about.

Then we find out it’s prom.  I would have let Mango and Papaya stick around if I had known, dammit.

Blackberry:  Hey hot stuff, wanna hot tub with me?

Charlie:  Err..

Fudge:  Oh God, mother.  Stop it.

Poor Orange.  I deleted the service sims the next day and all the locked up IF dolls were purged.

I heard the tune that yells to the world that a fail has happened.

Blackberry nonchalantly walks by with a green cloud and an embarrassed moodlet.

Meanwhile, Charlie and Fudge are making a baby.

Along with the bathroom proposal as soon as a lullaby was heard.

The marriage has commenced and Charlie has now moved in.

I then took a break and came back to play again in November (2019).  These are the pics and I have no clue why.

Habanero plays video games

Peach has cake.

Fudge is out scowling at the pool.

Blackberry is now kicking ass at video games while Pumpkin yells.

Kiwi is doing Kiwi things.

It’s Orange’s turn to nap by the pool.  Okay.

I think it’s time for a party or something.

and everyone went.

I think this is the house we had the daycare in, so we must be at the Sorbet’s house.

Someone trapped the place already.

I see a skill bar.  It must not be an active member of our family, obviously.

Are you kidding me?

Curfew didn’t come soon enough.

Haha.  Good work, Mango.

Charlie doing some bass.

Looks like Fudge is definitely pregnant at this point.

P-apple!

I left off with Habanero outside doing homework.

It’s now December (2020) and I really had to just guess at what was going on up there.  Habanero is still doing his homework, so let’s carry on.  I have had a year of crashes with this game and have not gotten to play.  I have done some maintenance over the past month, so let’s hope it works.

The best way for me to test my game is to take Habanero into CAS and do a makeover.  He (and my game) survived.  Now I have to do his sisters.

Wtf?  Did we know Pumpkin was a boy?  Let’s just call it old-timers disease.  I gotta go back and read and remember.

Okay, yes I remember now.  He just aged up into girl hair and I started assuming he was a she.  I really should have really noticed with his muscle shirt on.

Now that he actually looks like a boy, we should not have anymore brain farts regarding his gender going forward.

We might as well get a shot of Peach before her makeover.  She desperately needs one.

Oh and the girl from earlier eating cake was Peach, she just somehow lost that hair and that threw me off.  I think this is what happens when you don’t sim for a year.

Well, three makeovers and I saved after each one.  Then I let the game sit for 30 minutes to cook and it’s still going.  I’m crossing my fingers that the crashing issues are now history.

Kiwi is doing a workout.

Orange is heading off to bed.  Apparently the nap outside was just to get enough energy to climb the stairs.

Plum outside on the bass and he looks to be having a grand ol’ time.

Blackberry is napping.

Fudge is not doing much of anything.  I think Charlie is at work.

This completes the check up of this family.  All the kids are tired for some reason and I think a couple of more are heading to bed.

Charlie comes home from work and heads out to the guitar.  He must have gotten a talking to at work regarding his musical skill or something.  Everyone is asleep, so we will suffer his playing for the rest of the night.

Or not.  I wrote up the previous shot and let the game run for 3 seconds alone.  Fudge came down and interrupted him.  Ugh.

It was a close call, but Plum made it in time.

Charlie finds a laundry gnome to add to the collection.  Fudge wanted to chat with Peach, which was also something that Peach wanted as well.  Now Fudge wants to woohoo with Charlie.  She will save that wish to use if they need more kids underfoot later on.

Habanero screams at Fudge.  She retaliates by forcing him to rub her tummy.

Habanero:  I’m sorry I called you a disgusting fat cow, mom.
Fudge:  Next time you’re rude, I’ll beat your ass.

In other Saturday news, Orange is on the bass, Charlie is on the rock wall and Peach was on the slide and then hit the swings.

Habanero and Fudge are now whining to each other about the dirty dishes.

Pumpkin saw that Orange was busy and snuck up into her room to play video games.

Pumpkin:  She has the best graphics card in the house!  

Now Fudge is setting off all of the stupid pranks from around the house.

Again.

Fudge joins Peach and Habanero on the swings.

Peach:  HEY, PUMPKIN!
Pumpkin (off screen):  WHAT!?

Peach:  Tag your it, dumbass!
Pumpkin:  Ugh.  I can’t believe you interrupted my royal court speech for this!

Habanero has moved over to the jungle gym, Orange is now on the rock wall, and Kiwi is hiding off to the left playing on the waterslide.

I swear this is the most outdoorsy family I’ve had in eons.

Well, look at Blackberry being all cool.

Fudge went into labor as an excuse not to work in the garden.

She’s not too impressed with twins.

Fudge:  Triplets would have been better.  Now I have to go get knocked up yet again.

Cream Cheese and Peppermint are born and they are the correct genders from the previous challenge.

As expected, they threw the twins into cribs and then ran off to work on the last baby.

I couldn’t find Peppermint, so I had Fudge hunt her down.  I was sad that I missed seeing her being with her grandma out in the yard.

Cream Cheese was also stolen.

Luckily it was prom time.

Nothing much happened.  They both got the crown, as expected.

Plum:  Do you hear that?  It sounds almost like a baby crying.
Blackberry:  <insert some stupid Trump joke here>

Fudge:  There better only be one of you in here.

Fudge fixed three sinks in a row and worked on two sprinklers.

Then she fixed the dishwasher and the trash bin.

Triplet birthday time!

All in due time.  Chill.

Another Tart is born.

I’m not sure how I screwed up three shots, but whatever.  All 5 kids did come home on the honor roll.

After handing in the permission slips (Habanera and Peach), it was time for cake.  Of course, Peach can’t get to hers.

It’s moved and everyone crowds around to celebrate.

…just when I thought it was safe to say we were doing good.

-5 Blackberry

I think that’s enough for this update that took 16 months to complete.  Blackberry was at fault for our two fails.  Le sigh.
