Frost: So, babe...I know we just had twins, like, 4 hours ago and all. But what do you say we get to work on baby number 3?
Dusty: Heck yes!
Woohoo was had and social/fun needs were filled. Multitasking? You're doing it RIGHT.
And the verdict is....GUILTY!!!
Um. I mean....EATING FOR TWO! Yay, baby #3 is on its way!
Of course, this being a founding generation and all, all of their appliances are cheap. Frost is constantly fixing things. Oh well. As I've played the game over the last year, I've come to enjoy the process of fixing/upgrading objects around the home. But I will say, I'm excited about the return of the repairman NPC in today's patch!
Once he was done playing Handy Manny, I sent Frost to his easel to keep working on paintings. Meanwhile, momma Dusty spent some time with the boys.
The TV busted but I chose to replace it as opposed to have Frost fix it. I don't take a chance with electronics until my sims are, like, maxed in handiness. Don't need anyone dying from electrocution on my watch.
Daddy made sure to get some baby time in. I have no idea which one he's snuggling. But cute anyway!
Finally it was time for the twins to age up. And it was at this time that I realized that child sims don't have access to all hair colors. I know this is probably old news for many of you, but I've never created a child sim in CAS so I just never paid attention. So. This puts a bit of a damper on my rainbowcy because my plan was to go by hair color (only children who inherited the next hair color would be eligible for heir, etc.) and pink is not a natural hair color for children.
I ended up downloading some recolored hairs by ashleighanne90 that you can find here. A couple of things to note, from what I understand so far only base game, Outdoor Retreat and Get to Work hairs are included. Also, these are just recolors/add extra color options to the hairs included in the packs listed above. They are supposed to be genetic - so far I haven't see it work, but that doesn't mean it doesn't. Bear in mind that there are 2 parents...sometimes genetics in the sims are one sided, so (spoiler alert) with Frost and Dusty having 4 kids, it's not out of the ordinary that the 2 they have after the twins both end up with one hair color over the other. And finally, white is not an option that is included in these recolors so any of the kids that get white hair actually get the really light platinum blonde. Oh well. It looks close enough.
Anywho, given that none of their kids end up with naturally pink hair, I chose to flip a coin for each child. If it landed on heads they got dad's white hair, if it landed on tails they got mom's pink hair. Any that end up with pink will be eligible to become the heir. Blah. Too much work for something as simple as genetics, TS4. But we've already begun and we are not turning back now! SO, without further ado, let me introduce you to the child age twins! First up, Cotton! Thanks to Create a Random Sim, he received the bookworm trait and the whiz kid aspiration.
Next up, Alabaster! He ended up with the perfectionist trait as well as the rambunctious scamp aspiration. Also....I promise, the lighting will get better eventually. I hate the cheap lighting. I just kind of hate the lighting in this game as a whole. Blah. Anyway, bear with me. It gets better, I promise.
These two quickly became inseparable. They're pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.
Part of Al's aspiration requires him to play on the playground while playful, so I sat him down in front of the comedy channel to boost his playful mood.
Lookie! Second trimester baby bump! She's such a cute preggo. Also, it seemed that after that whole "sims get a baby bump immediately when they find out they're pregnant" thing came around, all of my sims did, in fact, get a bump immediately. But not her! I kind of prefer that they don't...it's more "natural". But, then again, sims are only pregnant for 3 days so really, "natural" went out the window a long time ago lol. Oh well. I like that she's a lone wolf and doesn't pop immediately :)
Cotton is always helping clean up, which is awesome. Child of the year.
Frost was at work and needs needed to be tended to, so I had Dusty take care of the broken/dirty plumbing.
The boys came in later to supervise.
Until dad came home, that is. Autonomous dad/son hugs. CUTE <3
Third trimester in the bag, baby #3 will be here soon!
Oops. Sorry, buddy. The toilet was broken and I didn't realize it so Cotton had a little accident. Glad this isn't an ISBI save, that would have cost me some points.
Baby feelin' times! I just adore these two together.
Yikes. Someone had a rough day at school. He's filthy from his accident. He's sad because he got a love letter from a girl, but when he confronted her he found out she didn't actually write it/like him. OMG. Poor bb :'(
Sad eating. Ugh. Right through the heart.
Cotton: And when I told her I liked her too, she just looked at me like I was some sort of alien. Then after a few seconds of awkward silence, she said "Um...I didn't write that...I don't even know who you are." I was so embarrassed! It hurts, mom. I really liked her and all of my friends saw her shoot me down. What should I do? Mom? Mom?!
Dusty: ZzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ...
Cotton: *Sigh* Thanks, mom.
Thankfully dad was on hand to offer some comforting snuggles. Soon enough Cotton was feeling much better.
Frost: I'm sorry that happened to you, son. But think of this as an opportunity! Maybe you can take this is a chance to get to know that girl. And if it doesn't work out, I promise there is someone out there for you. Don't get discouraged, you are awesome!
Cotton: Thanks, dad!
<3333 :')
What's this?! Baby time?! In even worse lighting than normal?! How is that even possible?!
Oh. Right. By forgetting to pay the bill, that's how. Oops. Dusty took a quick moment to fix that problem while Frost continued to sleep peacefully.
Dusty made her way over to the bassinet to prepare for birth. Eventually I moved the bassinet into her and Frost's room to keep the boys from getting woken up in the middle of the night. Actually, none of my sims have ever been woken up by a crying baby. But I'm sure it's possible and did it anyway just in case.
And it's another boy! Everyone give a warm welcome to Oxford Colour!
Frost: OK, BABE, I'VE GOT THE BAGS READY, LET'S GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL AND GET THIS BABY BORN!
Lawl. A little late there, hun.
And that's where I leave you for tonight! Tune in next time to see if they finally get a girl and find out whether or not Oxford will be eligible for heir! Until then, happy simming!
