Leech Family, Monday, Week 2
That thing I've been promising will happen for the last two updates? Yeah. Finally happening now. Let's get straight into it.
Wow, Terrence, you're looking good in that suit of yours. You make quite a fine military man.
Jumping on the couch in your underwear -- totally an adult thing to do.
It's snowing hard, the drifts piling up around the apartment -- and LUCY STILL HAS SCHOOL? I guess that's what Kim meant when Simon tried to call her the other day and she said "Lucy is learning at school, unlike SOMEONE I know." (Also, the people who write these dialogue balloons are so hilariously awkward.)
Kim's feeling a little lonely with both her husband and daughter off the lot, so she drops in on Neil next door and shares a tough handshake with him. Now that I have the Sims 2 Prima Guide for this expansion, I realize this makes him a Gearhead and one of the lower-class social townies. Interesting.
The landlady toils away while Kimberly plays a tune entitled "An Ode to Two Apartment Showers Breaking in a Row Leading Me to Try Getting The Landlord to Repair Things For the First Time."
We're working on shortening the title.
Kim fulfills a want by calling up William Van Dort and talking about handcuffs, making them best friends.
Do not want to know.
And then, since she wanted to earn a skill point, I make her jump rope. Before you say that dress is inappropriate for that activity, it's a riding habit and I believe thus also classified as workout wear.
Also, we have penguins talking to snowmen about cities. This is relevant to someone's interests.
Terrence comes home with a promotion to Counter-Intelligence and a memory of having earned $10,000. Good for you! Now pay your rent.
More couch-jumping for Kim while Terrence gets his exercise on. Pleasure Aspiration -- it contains all the stupidest interactions Sims love.
Terrence may be quite smelly, but he's also fit! Which fills a surprisingly high-scoring want for him. Well, I suppose it's only natural for a military man. . .
Lucy comes home, and promptly invites Simon and Alice to come by and share in her "finally it's my birthday about freaking time" non-party. (My kids haven't been getting real birthday parties because they can't throw them, by the by. The adults don't typically know their kid friends well enough to invite them, and they get home late enough that it's easier just to invite the kids and then quickly do the birthday before they have to leave.)
Best-friendship! Also I find it amusing that Alice's "outerwear" hairstyle matches Lucy's. I'll have to tweak that when I next visit her house.
And now, at last, it's time for Lucy to grow --
Wait. Where's Alice?
ADSKJOFL -- Come back here! You're just going to leave because Simon got in the way of you coming in?! I thought you were properly greeted and everything, considering Lucy had a full menu to interact with you!
*facepalm* Well, at least Lucy fulfilled her want to be best friends with her beforehand. Argh.
Well, nevermind. Let's at last say goodbye to kid Lucy. . . .
And hello to -- teenager Lucy in Outerwear? Huh. Guessing her kid outfit was classed as both then.
Never mind that though -- time for a stats update!
Lucy Leech:
Personality: 2 Sloppy, 7 Outgoing, 2 Lazy, 7 Playful, 7 Nice
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Primary/Secondary Aspiration: Popularity/Fortune
Lifetime Want: Become The Law
Turn-Ons/Turn-Off: Creative, Red Hair/Stink
OTH: Nature
Career: Teen School
She's Popularity primary because I've always seen her as someone who wants lots and lots of friends, and Fortune secondary because she wants to become a famous actress or musician -- or, in the case of Sim!Lucy, apparently a lawyer. I put "Creative" in her turn-ons as she'd want someone as into art and music as she is for a mate. And red hair because -- well, I told you guys she and Simon are supposed to hook up, right?
Teenage romance can wait for the moment, however -- right now, there are snowball fights to have. Nail him good for chasing off Alice before the party, Lucy! (Yes, I will hold a grudge about something that stupid. Sue me.)
Lucy: I just poofed into a teen -- why do I have to do my little kid homework?
Because otherwise your grades will go down. Roll with it.
What IS this, the day of broken bathroom fixtures??
Kim spends some more time with Neil, and I try out "Tell a Story" for the first time. He really gets into it. I'll have to try these interactions more often.
Kimberly: Why are you having me clip hedges? Can't the landlady do that?
Yes, but it feeds your Nature hobby, so why not.
Terrence: Just be glad she's not having you take apart the cake and store it in the fridge piece by piece.
Hey, it's not MY fault you can't store the entire rest of the cake as leftovers!
A look in the closet reveals that Lucy's "Outerwear" outfit is in fact her Everyday outfit, so despite the lateness of the hour, it's off to the mall to get new clothes!
And here's the final form of teen Lucy! While I liked the ponytail and kept it for swimming/working out, I couldn't resist giving her her old hairstyle back.
Lucy attempts to make a new friend while she's out and about, but apparently this guy really, REALLY hates the weather.
Ah well, Lucy can always amuse herself with the photo booth if nothing else.
And so we end with our new teenager here working on her Creativity skill before bed -- come on, you, I want you to have a Creativity scholarship for college.
And that's her finally all grown up! Next up, the Turret/Notamoron family. We'll see what shenanigans they get up to next time (which will be either tomorrow or Friday, depending on when I decide to play them).
