Uncomplicated 1.7: Well that stinks

Yeah, this is pretty much all I've been doing sims-wise over Christmas break is play this legacy. I have some shots for the next Skye part of the Rose legacy, but they're on my downstairs computer, and it's cold down there with the concrete floor.

I AM planning on releasing a SWNT chapter soon, then I'll do the CLJS one. I'm going to need to create very specific poses for the CLJS one. 

I'm procrastinating.

-----------------------------------

Mia is getting big, and I got some new hairs to use.

I get a notification that the carpool is going to pick her up in an hour just as she goes into labor. (The carpool never comes, btw, and I'm glad for that. It happens every day of her maternity leave, but the car never shows up to annoy me.)

I had a few things lined up for her to do (like buy shares in some of the businesses), but she obviously goes into labor.

Being the senseless sim that she is, she drives herself to the hospital after waiting ages for Tim to run downtown to the car from their house.

*Do not ever drive yourself to the hospital if you think you are in labor!*

Dr. Tim the Enchanter was right! It's a boy!

The day these shots were played was Christmas, and I'd done everything I needed to do (not much, my hubs is the one that cooks) to get ready to go to my family's for the big dinner stuff, so I had some time on my hands ... = play sims.

Hubs walked into the room as I sat and thought aloud, "Hm. I need a boy's name."

He said, "Why not name him Nick since it's Christmas?"

"You're brilliant!"

"I know."

:D

Baby Nick is going to be the only child that's biologically Tim's, so that immediately makes him the heir.

I got to pick his traits: friendly and loner. I have my reasons for making them a wee bit oxymoronic.

Nick makes his presence known, and Tim is happy. Then, in the last pic, I show an example of a common thought of his.

And now: random things I wrote down in my notes:

Moe has a son named Shan, but I didn't write down who the mama was.

Mia gets to level 10 in handiness. That's the first time that's happened to me, and I think it's neat that there's a discount in build mode.

Tim got a raise of $28/hour.

I save the game.

Cute, pointless pics of Nick.

Tim gets a promotion to lvl 8, Infectious Disease Researcher. $240/hour 9-2 MTRF. He's really happy.

What can I say? I just love pics like this.

Then...

Dun dun dun dun! 

-Error Code 12-

Noooooo!!!!!!!

I hate it when this happens. I did a lot of deleting of .bad files, but I still kept getting it. I was all prepared to make some big dramatic thing happen and save the pertinent families from the 'hood and make it so like there was this tragic accident that caused the surviving families to leave town and start up somewhere new, but the "save as"'s started working again. phew. Still, that would've been a cool thing to do.

Mia's midlife crisis is over.

Remember that cute little girl a few chapters back that Levi read to? Maryann Barbarossa. I was planning on having him and her hook up once she aged up, but SP worked too fast for me, and she starts dating Daryl Rao, Levi's half-brother. grrrr.

Prom is coming up.

This is interesting, SP makes up that someone named Lillian Darwin is having to move in Josephine Coastal's house because her Guardian, Preethi Darwin, is soon to die of illness. (I guess just soon to die)

Ultimate teenage chemist's dream come true: Levi discovers the stink juice potion.

Nick ages up. Oh, where has the time gone?

He looks more like his mom imho.

Tim starts teaching him to talk. As always, I'm curious what will be the kid's first word. Newspaper or something along those lines. Interesting.

(and I wanted to show Tim's back tattoo)

That's all for now!
