Yep, the moment I read that Edelweiss was the name, I immediately heard the song too. Glad it wasn't just me 
Oops again
. If it's any consolation, it's stuck in my head as well.
On the Move AgainAlly spent the following day rolling wishes to teach Iris her toddler skills. After all, she had to do something while she was waiting for the next potential father to finish work. That evening, she lured him into the hot tub.
It had been a long wait. Morgan Inkbeard, intended to be her first Barnacle Bay partner, actually became her final one. (Lee-Roy Johnkins had also turned into a fairy and was still around as a possible Business Dad but the game in general and, more worryingly, Ally in particular had become decidedly glitchy and moving towns as soon as possible seemed like a good idea.)
While his mother was busy elsewhere, Sage got on with the business of growing up.
He rushed outside to try out his new alien powers before curfew.
Space rocks didn’t taste as good as Ally’s key lime pie but they were oddly satisfying. Energized by his new brain food, Sage helped his little brother with his homework…
…and then stayed up late playing with his beloved chemistry set. Billy, meanwhile, had had a wish to read a charisma book, so he stopped off at the library before work – and ran into Jon, who asked for his autograph.
Given that Jon was a three-star celebrity himself and had had been living in the same house as Billy until recently, I have no idea why he was being such a fanboy. He seemed happy, though
.
When Billy’s shift was over, Ally and Morgan were still occupying the master suite. Given that he was tired, I was worried that Billy might walk in on them – but no. As usual, he headed straight to the sandpit to relax after work
.
(As if the combination of that cap and the cat burglar’s uniform wasn’t silly enough already. Really, I don’t think he’s doing much for The Organisation’s fearsome reputation
.)
Edelweiss had her first birthday:
I don’t think Iris liked sharing her nursery with another toddler (and I’m pretty sure she’s been communicating somehow with
Topeka Townsend).
Since she’d already learned all three skills and the nursery would have another new occupant to annoy her soon, an early birthday cake seemed like a good idea.
Already insane, she became a diva because it seemed to fit her personality.
Her favourite activities were presiding over the royal court, riding and pulling faces (usually when it was too dark to get a decent screenshot).
Then she discovered that her parents had a much comfier bed than the one in her room and took to sitting or napping on it whenever she got the chance.
Ally may find this a little inconvenient later…
The last Barnacle Baby arrived and was named Valerian. True to family form, he’s a normal human Sim rather than a fairy.
Morgan turned up at the hospital for his son’s birth – the first time that’s happened in this game. The ride back to the house in the limo looked a little awkward
.
The following morning, the family moved to Bridgeport, in search of vampires, who have been in short supply relative to the other occults, and more celebrity fathers. This time, they took the house with them.
Leaving the rest of the family to settle in without her help, Ally took off on her magic vacuum to meet the neighbours…
…and, just a few hours after their arrival in town, the first Bridgeport baby was on the way.
Again, all of the grown-up kids were moved as well, along with the tombstones of the eldest three
. This can’t be helping with the smooth running of the game but I like bumping into them around town now and then – and I’m trying to get the badge for having 20 children.
Ally acquired a ‘player’ reputation when she broke up with Morgan but some of the stats seem to have reset when they moved towns and she’s now back to alternating between ‘naughty’ and ‘exploring her options’. The game’s still keeping track of the number of times she’s cheated on Billy, though. In contrast, he’s cheated just once (by the game’s definition, anyway), through planting an inappropriate kiss on someone he met at the elixir store. Clearly, an extraordinarily tolerant man.
