Night's Sims: 2011

Hey guys! Welcome to chapter 2 of the Mineral ISBI. Following... babies?

Run, Aeggie, run! Run from the awful glitch!

Or to hug your mommy. How cute... BUT IT'S MIDNIGHT! GET TO BED!

Ah... that's why Goopy's napping. The TVs broken.

Seriously, he watches TV all of his waking hours.

Thank you, nanny, for making delicious food again... you're my favorite. And if we didn't need babies, I'd SO marry you in.

Goopy: DJ Goop here, bringing you the latest hip tunes!

Olivine: *fails at dancing*

Olivine: Woot woot!

No. Just...no.

Yes! Aeggie has taken up painting!

Paint, my probably-heir-minion-child!

I bought a car for Olivine the day she missed her carpool so she could still get to work on time.

This was the moment in my game when I knew the watermelon was cc. After it's eaten, all that's left is the rind. EA would never put that much detail into something.

Nanny: Ah? Ah? Good, right?

Yes. Thank you, nanny, for supplying us with dinner for another week.

Nanny: Oh... Wait... It's burning my hand. Not to mention there's no room for me to put it on the table.

Yeah. Like most nights, the Mineral ISBI household has a large supply of desserts waiting to fill the hunger bars of all the NTHs.

Olivine: So, my son Aeggie, he...

Olivine: Wet himself in front of everyone! On his birthday too!

Very classy, Olivine. Very classy.

How cute! Aeggie's doing the same painting his mom did!

Kid, you're my favorite.

I mean really. Who can resist the submarine play thing in the bath?

Although it would be nice if he would repair it... but he's a kid, so he can't do that.

And moments after Olivine repairs the toilet, the sink breaks as well.

Ah... life in the Mineral household. Goopy napping on the couch, ready to get up in the morning and watch TV. Olivine, sleeping in her kid's bed while Aeggie jumps on her bed. Sigh.

Aeggie: Hello, I'm tired!

Maybe you should sleep in the bed, rather than jump on it?

Aeggie: Oh, good ideazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Olivine: Oh, I didn't know sleeping in your kid's bed made you get fat!

*sigh*

And this is... Olivine's or Aeggie's painting, I don't remember. Hey, give me a break. I've already played up to gen 3!

Goopy: My son is jumping on the bed and I want to play red hands. Bore holes into the back of his head.

Goopy. There is literally brand-new watermelon, just pulled from the fridge by an exhausted Olivine, who I pulled out of bed to get food for you because you were complaining, and yet you still go for the moldy food?

Rant over.

Luckily he didn't get sick.

Olivine: Wow, taking a bath makes you fatter too! Who would've known?

I swear, Benjamin is stalking us. He keeps coming and ringing the doorbell, then walking away.

I don't care that Olivine liked you at one point, it's over!

And then (I know this is a terrible picture) he knocks over our trash can.

But I think the real reason I took this picture was that Goopy got a promotion. Or a demotion, I don't recall. Maybe it was a chance card...

I really need to write these chapters earlier.

Olivine: Can't...even...set...jello...on....counter....BABY!

Olivine: ...ssssssss.

Yes, twin babies, a boy and a girl, named Chalcedony and Jadeite.

Just to let you know what the house looks like now... I'm awful at building sometimes, and just build boxes cuz it's easy. I'll make it pretty someday, I swear!

Goopy and Olivine now have a room to themselves, and the three kids share a room. Most of the furniture is still really cheap, their funds are pretty low...

And then I focus on Olivine for a while... And Aeggie has grown up!

Goop: Hello, I just peed myself and now I need a shower!

Do it yourself. I already have to mop up the puddle for you.

The twins grow up. Aeggie gets the honors for Jadeite...and no grow-up picture for Chalce. Sorry.

This is my room of death. It's where I put all the dirty dishes I don't want to handle at the time.

I love this nanny. She keeps the kids entertained, cleans a bit, makes desserts, and is overall a huge help.

Though one day, two nannies show up? One a couple of hours after the other. They have different skirts... I think it has something to do with Olivine's work hours changing.

We added another bathroom and made a separate nursery.

Olivine made this lovely painting.

Toddler spam!

Olivine looks so happy *tear*.

And this is where I'll end the chapter. Up next: toddler training. Eish. I'll update again probably before New Years... or maybe after. I'll try to get another one in by Tuesday. Bye!

Hey guys! This is my first posted challenge. It's an ISBI, which means I'm Surrounded by Idiots (no link to rules, sorry! boolprop is down). It's played on the Sims 2 with Double Deluxe, meaning Nightlife and Celebration stuff. Here is the +100 picture update!

Meet the official founder of the Mineral ISBI, Olivine Mineral. Oh, you look so happy. Just you wait…

I bought almost the largest lot. The biggest one makes my computer run slow, so this is the best I got. She still has some meager funds…

Olivine: I am NOT amused.

Olivine: OOH now I am J

Olivine: YAY! So happy!

Pleasure sims: so easy to amuse. Juggle bottles, go bowling, change into pjs.

Normally I don’t let my sims greet the welcome wagon, just because it’s always the same sims we all know and hate, but I decided to for some odd reason today. Olivine took a quick liking to Goopy.

Benjamin took a quick disliking to Marisa.

And Marisa took a quick liking to MY tv dinners.

And then Olivine flirts with Goopy to set her gender preference and…

Two bolts. And I haven’t played Goopy in a while…. Might as well!

Marisa: Ew, I hate you so much. You tease and poke me, and then you go and glitch to look like an old guy with no face!

Benjamin: Hey, don’t go there. It’s a genetic condition.

Benjamin and Marisa: Person person minus minus.

Olivine and Goopy: Person person plus plus.

Goopy: Walking away for no reason.

Olivine: Where’s he going?

NO! Don’t even go there.

Don’t go there either. Let’s be real here. We need babies.

Stop grinning like that!!!

Easiest aspiration points ever. *cancels action so Olivine can go back to bed*

All I can think of right now is the scene from Elf where Jovie says “You missed” to Buddy when he kisses her on the cheek.

And you know what the double bed means... Goopy moved in!

Goopy does his signature stare, while he falls in love. And Olivine prepares to jump into his arms. Hope he’s ready.

Olivine: I’m falling in and out of love at the same time! While also having a person person plus plus! And a thought bubble of Goopy!

How- I can’t even-

Olivine: Okay, I’ll count to twenty and you go and hide. Ok?

Goopy: *does signature stare*

Goopy: Feed me.

I can’t. I can’t control you. I’ll never be able to.

Goopy: You mean I have to do it myself?

Baby time?

Nope, dirty dishes time. Clean it up, you dunce!

Goopy: So… Uncomfortable…

Olivine: Stop complaining! My action is waiting very patiently in my queue.

Goopy: Ooh! Reach for the shiny!

Olivine: Yay rings!

Goopy: I’m still uncomfortable. And a romance sim. Stupid rings.

And they get married right then and there because I’m way too lazy to make a fantastic, beautiful wedding that would no doubt be ruined by a non-controllable sim (cough cough Goopy cough cough) somehow ruining it.

And we know what this means. Even if Olivine doesn’t.

Olivine: I missed the toilet and puked on the ground.

Olivine: Where’s a husband when you need one?

Relaxing in the other room, apparently. (This was after Olivine gave up cleaning.)

And, did I mention, watching his carpool go by? *Sigh*

Goopy waited on the bed all day. Want some more woo-hoo, Goop? Sorry, your wife is at work.

He finally gave up out of hunger. You know, Goop, if you had gone to work you would have gotten free food that would totally have filled your hunger bar. And you wouldn’t have had to eat that moldy cereal.

Then, when Olivine got home from work, smelly and about to pass out, she pops.

I’ve never seen that thought bubble thing, where it’s all pointy and grey. This was right after he woke up from a nightmare. Bad memories of Marisa, Goopy?

And then I rebuilt the house. I ran out of money so quickly, though! Goopy had been sleeping and I had to wait till he got out of bed to sell it.

Let’s play the… Will Goopy make his carpool game?

Nope. He didn’t. And he got fired.

Yes, there are dirty dishes in the yard. Deal with it, random townie. Moving them out of the house so their environment motives aren’t so bad.

YES! YES, my little minion, clean the dishes! Ur… um…

Oops, forgot the stupid sims can’t just climb over the bed to the other side. Oh well. I’ll move it in the morning.

By the way, how are you enjoying your couch, Goopy?

She gets out of bed to pop again. I love this pic, she looks so happy, and just… well… pregnant.

Olivine: *pregnant swoon over husband*

I love this pic too, because not only is she swooning, she also has a hand curled around her belly. Awhh!

Olivine: GOOPY! BABY!

Goopy: Yeah, sure hunny, anything for you…. Just let me make this bed first, k?

Olivine: Too late!

Meet little Aegirine Mineral.

Goopy: What? I just had a baby? Even though I have a positive memory, I think it’s time to go into mental breakdown!

Goopy: I’m a freaking romance sim!

Ah, life with a new baby. Just saying, I love my replacement pictures pack. But I do think it’s a little bit weird. This is the first skill level painting, which sells for… like… four dollars. But it’s so cool!

Goopy: Baby, I love you…

Goopy: …as much as I like soup. See what I did there?

Goopy: Guess not.

Me neither, Goop. You lost us on that one.

Olivine: It just doesn’t make sense! I don’t even like soup!

Goopy: I think we should get a law passed so that nanny takes care of our child instead of our garbage.

Goopy: Because, you know, a robber could take our child and nobody would even notice!

Apparently his one-sided conversation is making him gain friendship….with… himself?

Goopy: You should take care of our child, instead of cleaning our house!

Nanny: Person person minus.

This really looks like Goopy is lecturing her!

OMG! He’s actually going to work! I used his adult action to get him a job as a police officer.

…I spoke too soon.

No, this was after he got home, because he hadn’t slept all night.

Olivine: zzzz I HATE THE BED zzzz.

Yah, we believe you…not.

HE AWAKES!

And actually goes to work a couple hours later! (He got a promotion, and thus had to go back to work six hours after arriving home)

Aegirine: Ick, daddy, you’re smelly. Put me down.

Aegirine: WAAH! YOU SET ME DOWN!

Goopy: My baby is disgusting.

Ah, so it really was Aeggie that was the smelly one.

Goopy: It’s okay baby, Daddy cuddles you.

But doesn’t change the stupid diaper! Psh. Romance sims.

And on Aeggie’s birthday… Something awful happens.

The most awful glitch I have ever had. Aeggie’s hair glitches to a weird grey pattern, but that’s not that bad. His face glitches black, which isn’t that bad, but still annoying. And his body…

Still has the pattern of a baby. The face on his chest, and he’s still wearing a diaper. Can you say disturbing?

Olivine: Hello? I can’t take a bath! My husband’s in the way!

It’s a miracle! He goes to work!

And passes out promptly when he gets home. Sigh. It’s becoming quite the pattern.

By the way, Goopy Mineral is THE best name ever.

Pile up in the bathroom. AKA: an average day in an ISBI.

Oh dear. Not this again.

One portrait finished! It’s of Goopy’s signature stare. That’s how I want to remember him.

Goopy: Teddy bear.

(BTW, the ground in my game glitches a lot and shows the meshes of hair and stuff.. so don't be alarmed when you see that.)

Goopy: Must pick up teddy bear.

Goopy: Must use bear to talk to toddler.

Bear: So, how bout them movies?

Aeggie: Huh? Movie?

Olivine: You do know, if you waited for five minutes you could have birthday cake which fills you up quicker.

Goopy: Fine.

Well you could at least clean it up!!!

Aeggie: Must. Reach. For. The. Minus. Aspiration. Points.

For some reason this jump freaks me out. There’s such a blank look in the kid’s face. And yes he grew up badly. I don’t think he learned any of his skills.

Aegirine: Well of course. How can you grow up well when this giant hourglass is glitching into my brain?

You grew up badly before the memory appeared, Aeggie.

Aeggie: Um… oops.

Aeggie: Lalalala, having a mental breakdown and dancing in a puddle while my mom tries to navigate the mop around my legs.

Olivine: I am not amused.

Goopy: Hungry!

Seriously, Goop. There’s pre-made cake RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. And Aeggie, off to the mirror you go.

Aeggie: And now I’m going to pout!

Olivine: This puddle is taking forever to mop up.

Goopy: Ooh, I have a great idea! Let’s cause a pile-up!

Aeggie: OW! Dad, you’re stepping on my toes!

Aeggie: He won’t get off.

Kid, get used to it.

Olivine: *adopts Goopy’s signature stare*

I love this kid already.

Aeggie: I’m exhausted, but that’s okay. I’ll stand here and look cute so you can get a picture of me.

He has his parent’s black hair and Goopy’s blue eyes, but other than that he really doesn’t look that much like either of them. He’s mostly a mix.

Kids are so cute when they nap- wait, Aeggie! Don’t try to trick me! Your bed is just over there, go get in it!

Thank you.

Aeggie: I don’t like me.

Aww, poor kid!

Both the portraits are finished, and then Olivine (pleasure sim all the way) wished for a DJ station so I bought that too.

Woah, geez… Nannie’s a good cook!

I interupt the previously scheduled program to tell you that I absolutely love the watermelon. It might be in game, but I think it’s cc… Don’t know where I got it from. But it’s under desserts, and you pull it out ready made, and it fills up hunger so quick…. Love it!
