ink_sec_simsAnd now it's time to visit the McFlys -- which oddly enough does NOT feature a visit from Doc. I intended for him to come over when Marty got home from school, but apparently his new work schedule conflicted. . .ah well, we've got 27 pictures anyway. Let's see 'em.
We start the day off with George riding the new Energizer. Because my non-magical Sims must resort to vaguely-scientific means when they need a need boost. (Seriously, though, I haven't used one of these in AGES.)
Get down with your bad self, Dave!
Read that Music & Dance magazine! Yeah, I'm trying to get him to get a little more into his One True Hobby. He's one of the few M&D Sims I have, after all. It seems like everyone I make ends up loving Nature. *grumble*
Lorraine does a little hobby-indulging of her own, underneath her first-place ribbon from that food contest she won. Remember? When Lorina visited Sue's Secret Kitchen?
Lorraine: I still can't believe they gave it to me even though I was an autonomous visitor who used custom food!
Just enjoy your victory, Lorraine.
Linda needs some new clothes that match the theme of this neighborhood, so Lorraine goes off to the mall and -- Wheatley? What are you doing here?
Wheatley: Checking out these wonderful outfits! What do you think of this one?
I. . .don't think it would look good on you, Wheats.
Hmm. Lorraine is a Popularity Sim. . .pay for those clothes and say hello, Lorraine.
Lorraine: I have to ask first -- is he a transvestite?
No, just very very new to this Simanity thing. (And to be fair, I'm pretty sure I've got some female nightgowns classified as men's sleepwear, which can't help matters.)
Lorraine: *thinking* Did this guy really tell me his last name was Notamoron?
Wheatley: *thinking* I wonder if she jumps if you ask her to say "apple" too.
Wheatley: Oh, we had cooking fires all the time back at Aperture! Brilliant scientists, but horrible cooks. None of them were my fault, though! Um, except one maybe involving a bowl of cereal. . .
(Oh come on, it's Aperture. If anyone was going to invent combustible milk. . . .)
Lorraine: The world is a strange and confusing place.
Wheatley: Oh, tell me about it! Did you know that lemons apparently don't catch on fire on their own?
Since when do Atrociously Evil Witches walk?! And have hair without their hats?! I DEMAND ANSWERS.
Lorraine moves onto taking silly photos of herself in the photo booth, while Wheatley takes a look at the jewelry. I don't think any of that will look good on you either, Wheatley.
Wheatley: But it's all so shiny!
Back at home, the teenagers of the house come home with a friend -- Ginger Newson. Dave, I don't think your talk about flowers is going all that well--
Ginger: HEHEHE FLOWERS ARE FUNNY
. . .Or she could be one of those weirdo Sims who reacts with boredom to topics she LIKES.
Marty and George arrive home at the same time -- George with a promotion to Project Leader, Marty with his first A+ report card! My Sims' success makes me so proud!no life, me
Marty: Dad! Dad! A+! Praise me!
George: Hooray for my most beloved child!
Dave & Linda: We heard that!
Ignore that, Marty -- good for you for the A+. Maybe now I can think about private school for your family.
Dave and Linda would rather spend their time hitting each other with pillows. But they look so happy doing it, can you really blame them?
Obligatory skilling/doing homework photo of the update.
Lorraine: Wheatley? What is it? . . .They're called "kilts," Wheatley. It's a cultural thing. . . .Look, if you really want to wear a skirt, buy one and give it a go. I assure you they're not really all that easier than pants.
Speaking of which, here's Linda in her new outfit. Not bad, eh?
And then we promptly ruin it with water.
Linda: Why do I have to fix the sink?!
Oddly enough, you're the one with the most Mechanical skill. Must be from all that block playing in your cold and lonely childhood.
A chance card at work (about sharing musical tastes) sends Dave home with a friend, Reed Turner. I thought you worked as a MultiRegional Sim of Some Question, Dave.
Dave: I do. Reed works in the cafeteria we all eat at.
Ah.
Dave: Pianos!
Reed: Fuck yeah!
Since they met thanks to a music chance card, I thought it only right they chat about their hobby.
Dave: I AM A NINJA-STYLE DANCER.
Dave: Think I'm awesome?
Reed: I'll say whatever the hell is necessary to avoid being nearly kicked in the balls again.

And so our update ends with us looking at George as he slowly freezes in the pursuit of logic. Because my Knowledge Sims WILL be skilling dynamos, that's why.
Hope you enjoyed that peek at the McFlys! Next up, the Van Dorts! Maybe Emmett will pay a visit on them?
