Mineral ISBI Chapter 9

Welcome back to the Mineral ISBI. We open today with a wonderful picture of yet another pass-out by Cassiterite. (Sorry for the plumbbob, I don't know why I was on her.) 

We have Remington as a maid, which excites me greatly. I am going to marry him in.

This is showing what I mentioned last time, the excessive maid cleaning of the fishtank. It was soon deleted. 

And when I say soon, I meant soon. Right when he stopped for a moment, it was gone.

*poof*

Remington: You took away my beloved fish tank! Nooooooo!

And soon enough, it is time for Cassie's birthday. I don't know if directing them to a birthday cake counts as an action, but I hope not, because I already used hers.

It still comes as a shock to me to switch torch holders. It's like leaving an old friend in a mental hospital and instead taking home some random person that you barely know.

She did grow up to be quite pretty. Looks like Olivine, but still has a bit of her mother in her.

And then I realized what her clothes were.

ICK! OLD LADY CLOTHES ALERT!

Sent her straight to the wardrobe.

The first thing Chalce does as a NTH is go play piano.

Sorry for depriving you before.

He and Christy also do a lot of romantic things. 

Don't you think you should be the one catching the lady, Chalce?

Chalce: Hey, I'm new at this whole autonomous thing.

Christy: Hey Chalce, congrats on becoming a NTH!

Can you say banned 4 lyfe? Chalce, bring your eyes up.

Christy: So, bad weather we've been having recently!

Chalce: Thanks, you just fulfilled my want to talk about weather!

You guys do know that I don't even have seasons, right?

And...*drumroll*...Here's Cassie after a make-over!

The shirt's a bit showy, but I love the skirt and something about Cassie makes me want her to have it.

I change her hair too.

This is just to show you what the urn and portrait thingy looks like. I need to do Cassie's portrait, but other than that everything is done.

For some reason Olivine's urn keeps floating. Any idea why?

I have to keep taking it off then putting it back on to fix it.

Cassie: What did we tell you about being a stalker?

That it's bad, sorry.

You know there's a problem when your sims start reprimanding you for stalking. 

Anyway, I've tried to set up Cassie and Renaud. 

Aw look, he went in the bathroom. He's already like part of the family.

Chalce has been painting too. I guess a lifetime of working in the medical career and doing mechanical stuff has left him wanting creativity.

This is Cassie looking for her job in cooking. See, I told you she was just like Olivine! Looks like her and has the same aspiration and ltw. 

Somebody set the microwave on fire. I didn't see who it was, but I have my suspicions...*cough* Chalce *cough*

Chalce: Hey, not my fault. I'm new at this!

Luckily Maura Simpson is to the rescue. 

Meanwhile Cassie gets her first kiss with Renaud.

...But later, he continues to reject her for no reason. 

And then, just after I've done some remodeling, I realize Remington is still here and we don't have enough money to pay him. 

He takes a plant *ohnoes*.

MEANWHILE...Cassie is rejected by Renaud for a make-out.

...But then they hug and everything's better.

Renaud: I want to kiss her so bad.

Then why did you reject her!!!

FINALLY!

And after that, he agrees to move in.

Renaud (fill in original last name here).

Wealth.

LTW: Become Criminal Mastermind.

Soo not happening, dude. 

This is the outfit I changed him to. It kind of seemed like...Him. 

Now that I've built a master bedroom for Renaud and Cassie, I don't need this room anymore. But I don't want to demolish it, so I just lock the doors and wait for someone who needs it later.

And like all important things, they fall in love in the bathroom. 

Nice look, Renaud. 

Okay, that's just creepy.

Renaud: I GET TO HUG SOMEONE! HUG SOMEONE!

Maybe they shouldn't have let you out of the asylum so soon...

But Cassie, ignorant to my complaints, decides to marry him anyway.

He accepts.

And then the first thing he goes and does is make his mother-in-law cry.

He continually poked her and insulted her.

Eventually I had to use his adult action to apologize to her. I was hoping it would make some difference, because I didn't want them to hate each other.

She accepted the apology, but it didn't work. 

Finally she left and made another group meal. 

Woot! Go Christy!

And Chalce...Autonomously fixed the computer! I didn't even know they could do that!

Now Cassie has to help Almie with her homework, because she's still a teen. It's really annoying.

Chalce is still going to work, and he still gets a limo.

Almie meanwhile skips school.

...But proceeds to go and play with the refrigerator doors, so it's okay. 

I'm not kidding, I love this interaction.

And because I'm too lazy to have a big wedding, I just have Renaud change into his formal (I'm not sure if this is counted as an action, but I'm not). 

Cassie didn't really have a good wedding dress, but I guess it doesn't matter.

See, she is like Olivine! 

Remember this picture? 

This was Olivine's wedding picture. So I guess the blue wedding dress isn't so bad. 

Back to the wedding.

Renaud gets a huge boost from the wedding...

And Cassie just gets some relationship points. Typical.

I'm pretty sure it was because Renaud had a want to marry a rich sim, not the actual marriage.

...And their honeymoon consists of playing chess.

Cassie: So...babiez?

She continued to talk about babies several times.

I'm not kidding.

And the Chess Honeymoon Incident ends when Chalce sets the oven on fire.

Chalce: You saved my life. I'm forever indebted to you. I'll pay it back by staring creepily at you.

Immediately after their first woohoo, Cassie has this thoughtbubble.

Cassie: I hate the skill-building hat thing.

As soon as she gets home from work the next day, she learns she's pregnant.

Also that she stinks.

And then she passes out. Sorry, Cass!

Almie meanwhile has a bladder failure.

Olivine's haunting again.

And then Cassie pops. Gen 4 is on its way!

In this picture you will notice a few things.

1) the dishwasher is broken 

2) Christy made another group meal

Cassie passes out again. Whoops.

She pops again.

Really, you couldn't have finished cleaning up that plate of watermelon?

Oh joy. You're making enemies with another one of your inlaws.

No, it was just this interaction. They're fine otherwise.

And then I notice 2 things.

1) the dishwasher is fixed.

2) Christy made another group meal.

And then I realize another thing: Christy isn't in the panel.

I didn't even realize she had died.

Sorry, Christy.

Yes, her last interaction was making a group meal.

Christy was honestly the best NTH I've ever had and ever will. Not only did she get like 5 promotions and ALMOST achieve her lifetime want without any help from me (I think she was maybe two or even one level away from being a celeb chef), she also took good care of her kids and made many group meals.

This is how you know it's a bad day.

So now one more vase is replaced by an urn. 

This scared me at first because I thought it was Almandine getting a good memory of Christy's death. Then I realized it was for inheritance. 

Everyone was constantly sad. 

And only a few hours later I noticed this.

What? 

Why is she getting another memory of her mother's death?

I did manage to snap a picture of this one.

yes, it did happen in the bathroom.

Then I realized. Chalce was gone. *sob*

At least they're together again.

Chalce was a multitasker, as all THs must be. He helped his children religiously with homework, as well as maxing nearly all his skills and his career. 

Bye, Chalce.

To round off this awful day which included a couple of pass-outs and two deaths, the trash can is tipped over.

I order a pizza because there aren't any groceries and Cassie is starving.

Hey, it looks like you're gonna drop the pizza!

This guy's name is Remington. Although I like the name, I wouldn't dare marry him in. *shudder*

The typical scene from an ISBI.

Renaud sure enjoys the pizza.

Then Cassie pops and out comes a little boy named Andradite.

...And then my game crashes. I haven't saved since before his birth, so I have to go back in...

And this time, he's white. I still name him Andradite.

Everyone is obsessing over Anders. 

Even his teenaged aunt loves him.

And I leave you here with this picture of Cassiterite changing her aspiration from pleasure to popularity, simply because I was a little annoyed with going through the culinary career.

So now I'm all caught up with the pictures I've had forever, so hopefully future chapters will have more detail. I've also decided to do SimStoCreMo in March, which means I'm going to write ten chapters. It's here if you want to sign up: http://sim-spiration.livejournal.com/294197.html

Bye!
