"Time for a wedding. With toddler quads in the house. What could go wrong?"
Not to mention two pregnant ladies due literally any second. This is going to be interesting.

Upon entering the house: "Alright everybody's got some chores to do to get this house in order. I am going to take care of the toddlers. I'm going to ask you all to DO AS I HAVE ASKED or you are getting locked in the closet. We don't even have a closet in this house but I am going to build one."

Edit: One wedding, one single birth, one triplet birth, and one growing-up-of-toddler-quads that I didn't realize was the same day later, everyone got to bed by 1 AM and I have had three years of my life taken off.
At least the single birth was before 6PM and the triplets were after, so they won't age up on the same day. Which will make things a teeny tiny bit easier.

"It begins."

"What are you--ah. Alright, that's kinda more important. I'll give you that one."
I had directed one of my sims to get her toddler daughter on the potty and then into bed. She queuestomped it and I was about to get mad at her but then I realized she was going into labor.

"I think the game was listening to me. Okay, okay! You've proved your point now!"

You remember I was saying not so long ago how I don't seem to get multiple births in my current hood, and I had my percentages set to 4/2/1% for twins/triplets/quads (plus the natural 10% chance of twins should overlay this, even though I wish it wouldn't!) so it really should have happened in the 20+ births I'd had since that point, and I was a little bit worried that something wasn't working correctly.

Well my game must have heard me, because 3/5 of my most recent births have indeed been twins. Boy/Girl (Barbara and Bernard), Girl/Girl but so different-looking that I kept them fraternal (Cyan and Indigo), and lastly a pair of boys, both exactly the same skin, hair and eyes, so I might identicalise them when I see what toddler faces they get. Their parents have such different faces that one of their older sisters looks a little unfortunate while the other is quite good-looking. Their names are a bit mismatched, though. Florian and Harry. Their surname is Honeydew and I feel like Florian fits much better. But I immediately thought "Harry Honeydew" and couldn't get it out of my mind, so he has a very normal name while his siblings are Florian, Bluebell and Maple. I might change his name. (Any suggestions?)

Second thing which happened.

I have an elder romance male sim, Quinlan, who seems to be carrying on with half the hood at a time. He got his live-in lover pregnant, and another lover (Rosetta Stone, dread pirate) pregnant too. They proceeded not to find out about each other, although I suspect Rosetta would not have cared, except that she and Quinlan were having this kind of threesome arrangement with another elder, hippy townie, Victoria. Victoria kept wanting to get married and I felt she was lonely, so I married her to Rosetta, and they planned to bring up the baby together in this old converted bus where they live. All was going well, except that firstly, since they married she felt that she ought to have Rosetta all to herself. Quinlan and Rosetta did not agree, and she was upset about this. Secondly, I have the temperature mod by Simler90 and their only heating on the bus was this pot belly stove thing. And being an old bus, it did not have a smoke alarm. The toddler was constantly cold so I kept lighting the fire and you can guess what happened. Rosetta, having learned fire safety since an adventurer needs to be prepared, tried to extinguish it, but it was too much for her so she called the fire brigade, but not before catching fire herself, running around and setting fire to the rest of the bus. (I have the extinguish self mod and I have no idea how she managed to ignore the swimming pool!) She perished, and her wife was too busy panicking to plead for her life. I suspect that she would not have succeeded anyway, because she was still low in relationship towards her after catching her "cheating". Anyway she and the toddler were obviously devastated. She immediately rolled the want to speak to Quinlan. I thought this was surprisingly perceptive of her. It was just before 6am and I knew he would be mad but I thought what the heck. It's an emergency!

Anyway, he answered the phone with "Calling me in the middle of the night for any reason other than to tell me my house is on fire is not cool!"

Which made me reply "Dude! It might not be YOUR house, but your daughter's house is on fire and her mother is dead! Have some compassion!"

Victoria instead made a call to get Rosetta's dog taken away to adoption and then waited until 7am, called him again. She had two speech bubbles: A crossed-out X-ray, a daisy, and then she hung up. I interpreted this as: "Rosetta has died in a fire. No, her injuries were so bad she couldn't be saved. She is pushing up daisies! I'm bringing your daughter around. Goodbye."

I put the skull of Jumbok into the toddler's inventory, moved them both into Quinlan's house, called everyone into the same room, made Victoria hug Quinlan romantically in front of his cohabiting girlfriend, and then let her complete the autonomous action she had done to the toddler before making her back into a townie. Quinlan now has two daughters living with him and a furious girlfriend, but I think she will forgive him. They are both exhausted. The toddlers, somehow, are exactly the same age (so they are in fact quasi-twins!) and even though their parents seem to struggle to keep up with their needs, they actually like each other enough to huggle, and don't steal bottles from each other.

Phew!! Three more current pregnancies in my hood, so let's see if the trend continues or stops now that it has almost statistically caught up.

After showing my friend a screenshot of a typo'd lot name:

Me: I meant to spell it Birch 😔
Friend: I'm sure you did 💅
Me: What does THAT mean

"Get out of that bed, that is not your bed!"
Three seconds later: "That is not your bed either. Get out! This is your bed!"
Twenty seconds later: "Why are you back in your daughter's bed? That is not your bed! Your bed is over there! I swear to god I will smite you. I have the power."

With ACR: "No! No, bad! Gross. Do not Woohoo-Sofa in the room where your children are doing homework."

"You want to cry about it? It's your own fault. That's what you get for hot tubbing during a thunder storm. Go take a shower, have some dinner, get over it."

Me: I love all this grungy custom content.
Friend: Slum lord!
Me: Slum? Slum? Do you know how much that crappy floor costs in the catalog? [It's 20 simoleans a tile.]

"Get on the damn OMSP."

"I did not expect this to work."



Instant Inviter to summon every playable Sim and make them selectable. I was expecting:

a) Not show any more Sim thumbnails after a few rows.
b) Crash when the game can out of memory.
c) Explode into purple soup when the game ran out of video memory.

The FPS did drop to a slideshow by the end of it though.

"OMG, don't eat that!" because they burned the food again.

I guess you will have to move, or I will have to remove the roof and change this pretty house into a less pretty one to make room for the new set of twins then. Sigh.

Friend: "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed."

Me: Notice that it's a breadfruit tree and not a bush 😔

Friend: There’s also an alien there, let’s not split hairs here

Bulbizarre: goddamN SLAP DANCING
Bulbizarre: THANKS BIGFOOT

"Lazlo, you are a pain in the ass."

I played the Curious household last night. They have several alien toddlers, which is not a problem. But Lazlo has:
1) sat down to play with Albert and the rabbit head right in front of the baby-bottle only mini-fridge while other children need feeding
2) sat down to play peek a boo with Marie right in front of the changing table
3) gone outside to jump in puddles during a thunderstorm while "help with infant birthday" was hanging in his queue
4) carried a baby clear out to the mailbox and left them lying on the sidewalk while he got the mail out of the box, then got in the carpool leaving both the bills and baby on the sidewalk
5) ignored all other fun activities in favor of ... jumping in puddles during thunderstorms
6) gone out to stargaze during a thunderstorm
7) somehow managed to antagonize the friend he brought home from work, I don't know how
8) decided to feed treats to a wolf. During a thunderstorm.

Was this all one thunderstorm or do you get a LOT of thunderstorms? I don't seem to get nearly enough.

"Have a safe journey home!"

. . . Me to Andrew as he sets out at half past midnight to walk home to Veronaville after visiting Malcolm Landgraab and Marion Hutchins in Bluewater. Dressed as he often is in only a tiny pair of light blue shorts and a matching crop top vest, he looks so small and vulnerable.

Don't worry, his kind elderly neighbour saw him and drove him home.

He needs to download Pets and make her, with her two cats and Maserati in the garage!

I get pretty regular thunderstorms. I have Strangetown set spring-summer-summer-fall, maybe the double summer has some effect.

"That's so cringe."

Kimberly Smith came out of the bathroom, hoping to watch TV, and found her elderly parents in their underwear woohooing on the couch (Buck and Jill Smith). Jeez, guys, you already have a room right upstairs!

I'm jealous lol, just like in real life my sims hardly get any thunderstorms and they're almost always at night so I miss 'em. If I can't have them in the real world I'd at least like them in my game dangit!

"No."

Out of the eight Sims in a dorm, five rolled a want to get a pet and two of them specifically a kitten. (I love mods.) I had them adopt a kitten. Immediately after, one of them rolled a want to get a puppy.

There are mods to make more lightning, for example these:

"Chester, you don't need to go around and make everyone else's beds."

Mr Appleby, you are in the photobooth again???

Oh, it's his wife today.

"Did she bring all her lovers to the outing?"

Yes. She did. I left just when hell broke loose.

"Why do the aliens like this house?" said as teen Tiffany Marsh got abducted by aliens. "At least she will get a scholarship out of it"

Her father had gotten abducted by aliens two times before. No one else in the neighborhood has been abducted, although Susan and Benjamin were fearing it.

"What the hell is that nois— oh, I forgot about the bass on the roof."

"No. NO! No!" when my Sims causes a freaking fire trying to make a TV Dinner.
And they can't extinguish themselves because they only have a bathtub and not a shower. (Can they extinguish themselves in a shower or is that something only in Sims 3?)

And something that happened immediately after. "Thanks, buddy, for nullifying this horrible moment."

"...And granny's sleeping again"

~Me toward an elderly Sim as she was in energy failure.

"I shouldn't have said anything." Said as Marshall Danders got abducted by aliens. Previously only the Marsh house had alien abductions, but they then abducted Marshall. He came back pregnant 6 days away from being an elder. He gave birth to an half alien son. Diane Danders is Daniel Pleasant and Jennifer Burb's mom, so in my hood they will have a half alien uncle. I just hope Marshall and Melinda have enough time as elders for the son to grow up to teen before they die of old age.

"Oh great, there's a traffic jam." I had remodeled the bathroom in Blau Hills Resort to add a shower, but saw a large traffic jam of tourist Sims. Not sure how to remodel it again to fix it.

"Of course" said as both Coral Ruggbyrne and Zephyretta Gossamer rolled wants to get engaged the minute I moved them into their respective dorms. I've noticed that Family Sims immediately want to get engaged in dorms.

Yup, you jinxed yourself lol.

Mr Silke! I told you to go to sleep! Why are you playing in a snowball fight???

(And he has fun, throwing snowballs at random townies with Mr Appleby, who started it. But Silke is not supposed to throw snowballs around when he is deadly ill with flu)!

"You're probably the prettiest girl in Strangetown; it's too bad you're a sociopath."

Regarding Circe Salamis.

"Why do you insist on putting the window backwards? I want it THAT way! ... *sings backstreet boys' song*"

How the hell did you get stuck behind the toddler potty? In the bathroom corner?
(Damn teen almost starving - I thought he was at school, where he should have been).

"I'm not sure that's appropriate." The nanny was drinking from the bar while on the job.

Some kids will do anything to miss school! Seriously, if he hates school that much, I'm not convinced that it's doing him any good.

I sent him to Uni

"Ohh.. that's why that'd doing that."

Mine:
"WHY ARE YOU BLUE SCREENING"
"STOP BLUE SCREENING"
"If you blue screen im deleting this game"
"If you blue screen i am playing Sims 3"
"THIS GAME WENT FROM BORDERLINE UNPLAYABLE TO COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE"
"WHY ARE YOU FEEDING THE BABY WHEN ITS OK"
"WHERES THE BABY"
"You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky You stink you stinky"
"ITS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY"
"WHY ARE YOU NOT EATING YOUR FOOD DOG"
"Beshoes" (i was mocking a voiceline from sims 2)
"Sims 2 blue screen if you hate me"
I also used to call a Sim "Stinky girl" because she always stunk. There was a another Sim who always stunk too so i made them date

Run Memtest86 and FurMark. Repeated BSoDs might be a symptom of hardware failure.

"He's got his priorities right." My sim making up the bed while his brother-in-law was dying in the same room.

"How am I still getting elf ears after 5 generations?!"

You use the broken template ONE TIME...

"Hi Andrew! I'm back!!"

As I flew over his house with the Veronaville opening "flyover" video. After a week without my computer, and therefore unable to play The Sims.

Was building a hallway: "oh, that looks a bit phallic"

It's fixed? Brilliant!

Was decorating said hallway with plants: "oh, that also looks phallic". What is wrong with Cornerstone Condominiums?

"That's the way I do it too." Me to a lazy teenage Sim, on watching him make a bed by throwing it together. I probably should have added, "If I bother at all."

When I do make my bed, I am often aware of Andrew beside me, in his role as my invisible friend, saying, in an exasperated voice, "DO IT PROPERLY!" Andrew and I have a lot in common, but not that. Whereas Andrew, with his Virgo horoscope sign, is neat and organized, I am messy and chaotic. He is shaking his head and saying, "I don't know how you can live in this mess!"

It's a computer guy thing.

We fall out of bed, drag ourselves to the coffee and then get on the computer and start coding. All within the span of about 5 minutes.
