The Hacker Dynasty. Episode 13: Inventing a Tournament

[Ricalynn]

Welcome to the triplets!   Well you realize that Bella Bachelor is a child when the game starts. 

[RoseLena10]

Great update! Congrats on the triplets!

[ILoveDolls]

Lol. I'll bet Terry looked wonderful dressed as a toddler. Mouth hanging wide open at all those babies! Have fun in the baby closet, kids...

[loveSims]

Congrats with the triplets. Poor Bella lol!

[ratchie]

At least they won't be lonely in the baby closet. I guess when you wish for a big family you gets a big family.

You do not want to know what has been going on and why I have not updated this in so long. Trust me. The good news is, I'm ready to continue.
Episode Twelve: Fixed Swings Means Screaming Triplets

Terry Hacker, the father of triplets thanks to a wish from the genie. As long as no one in the family messes with the swings, this will certainly be an easy affair. Set the swings on slow, lock the door, leave them alone. Everything will be just fine, right?


Terry: "Attention all citizens. You may have noticed that our Solace Snugabunny Deluxe Baby Swing has been filling the needs of infants and toddlers while turned on. However, it would continue filling the needs even while not active. This was not intentional. All swings have been patched to the latest version and will now only fill the needs of the child while the swing is turned on."

That's when Terry realized that the baby sanctuary isn't quite a sanctuary anymore.

Terry: Uh-oh...


Justin: Terry, your kids are screaming again. Also, I think one of them puked.
Terry: How did you get past that locked door to put them on fast to begin with?
Justin: You locked me in there too.


Surprise, surprise, this isn't going to go smoothly for the Hackers.

Bella: Okay okay, bottle, changing, done. I'll be there in a second Richard. Terry where are you?


It's one thing to be playing a game at a stadium for career reasons but leaving poor Bella to take care of triplets by herself while you spar with granny Agnes? That's just inexcusable.

Terry: Hang on, I got a phone call, think you can take me if I only use one hand?
Agnes: You bet I can.


Three days of extreme parenting later, it was time for the triplet's toddler birthdays. First up was Ivan but unfortunately, Agnes decided that now would be the perfect time to pass away at 103 days old.

Agnes: Did I mention I invited Grim to our triplet's birthday party?
Justin: We were having a party?


With the death of Agnes and the infants now toddlers, phase two of extreme parenting can begin. From left to right, Keith the third generation, Richard, and Ivan.


The real hard part of raising triplets is teaching them their basic skills. Even Justin has to chip in.

Justin: This is something my daddy did for me. He'd lift me up from behind, take a few steps back, and make me walk behind him again.


He makes it look like he's going to throw the poor thing. Why can't Justin do it properly?


A couple of days later, Justin and Bella managed to teach the triplets everything they needed to know about life, the universe, and everything. There's only one thing left to do while waiting for them to age up.

Bella: I'm going to teach you a lesson for not doing a thing with these babies!
Terry: Hey, I gave Richard a bottle an hour ago.
Bella: Whereas I had to keep changing them, teach them to walk, talk, and potty, feed them, all that stuff. You didn't do a thing, baldy!
Terry: I knew I shouldn't have left that sim fu book lying around.


Bella spent the next few days trying to break through Terry's impenetrable defense. Although unable to do so, she at least became a brown belt for her efforts. With Terry at work and Justin setting the swings to slow for the ninetieth time, Bella decided to celebrate her elder birthday all by herself.


Apparently, if you age up while wearing your martial arts outfit, you keep it on instead of changing to your new everyday wear. Good to know. She got a wish to go to Shang Simla. Considering that Terry has to go there to do the martial arts tournament, her wish will be granted soon.


The next day was the big day though, it was not only Terry's birthday, but also the triplet's birthdays as well. Four birthdays, let's get started.

Terry: (I wish I was the greatest martial artist in the world)


Terry: Whoa, how did I get a suit?


While Justin was getting the triplets ready for their birthdays though, Richard decided to have his without the cake in the front lobby. In fact, so did the rest of the triplets. That's what happens when you wait until 7 PM for Terry to get home.


Rather than show off the pretty sparkles, here's what they ended up look like from left to right: Keith the third generation, Richard, and Ivan. Keith inherited couch potato whereas both of the non-immortals chose virtuoso. They all came out great so none of them are going to visit the dresser and mirror.

I'm glad to see a update. The glitch where the nooboo learn to walk was funny lol!

[Orange Iguana]

It's good to be back. Now then, let's continue the dynasty.
Episode 13: Inventing a Tournament


At long last, the hard part of raising triplets has come to an end. Although it's blatantly obvious that Keith wants to be an inventor, seeing as how he's eccentric and all, what will the other two non-immortals do with their lives?


That's not important right now, with 75 sparring sessions under his belt, Terry is finally ready to enter the King of Sim Fu Tournament in China.

Terry: Yes, get me two tickets for the next flight to Shang Simla.
Bella: Is it for you and me?
Terry: Hang on *looks at Bella* Me and Keith, actually.
Bella: Why are you taking only Keith and how come I'm not going? Me and Justin had to raise the triplets by ourselves!
Terry: I was going to take all of them but Keith was the only one interested in going.
Bella: You better take me with you to China or else.
Terry: *switches back to his phone* Make that 3 tickets actually... uh-huh.... uh-huh... I see... *looks at Bella again* They only have enough room for two in coach, the only way you can come is if we pay for an upgrade to business class.
Bella: Then pay the extra money!
Terry: (For the love of...) *switches back to his phone* Yeah, we'll do that... uh-huh... okay, bye.


After a luxurious flight in the business class, the Hackers arrived in Shang Simla. The first thing they did was buy the west royal house so that they could have a vacation home. The second thing was...

Bella: Yes, I'd like to purchase a ticket for the next flight back to Sunset Valley.
Terry: Are you serious!? We haven't even been here an hour and you decide you want to go home?
Bella: Make that business class, please.
Terry: At least now I know where the triplets got their insanity from. I mean wow, just wow.


With Bella out of the picture, it's time for Terry to start the King of Sim Fu tournament while Keith gets to work on his supermax.

Jiang Lu: I'm going to knock that wig off of you.
Terry: Enough with the bald jokes!


Thankfully there's a circular pool installed in the front yard in case Keith catches himself on fire. No one should have to deal with a -200 moodlet.

Keith: This feels kind of good actually. I don't know what everyone complains about when it comes to fire.


Surprisingly, being a black belt with the Sim Fu King challenge completed doesn't always mean you'll win. In fact, this is the third time in a row Terry has lost to this woman.

Terry: Ow! Why must lesser skilled people be harder to predict?


Eventually, the final match came. It was between Terry Hacker and someone he never sparred with in the entire tournament. The Queen of Sim Fu, Maya Wang! As expected, she was relentless with her finely honed skills.


That's when Terry came up with an idea.

Terry: This is technically called the King of Sim Fu tournament, no where does it say Queen. According to the rules book, I am technically the king seeing as how my final opponent is a woman.
Maya Wang: You read this part here. It says contender must defeat all opponents, man or woman. I too smart for that.
Terry: (And I thought for sure she'd fall for it)


It was certainly worth a try but seeing as how Maya was too smart to fall for insane logic, Terry had to defeat her the hard way.

Terry: MY EYES ARE CLOSED! THAT MEANS I CAN'T MISS!
Maya Wong: Okay okay, you win.
Terry: Was there ever any doubt that I was the King of Sim Fu?
Maya Wong: Yes.


Now that Terry has finally supermaxed Martial Arts, all of the focus can go towards helping Keith supermax inventing. To do that, Terry can spend the rest of the vacation breaking space rock blocks hoping for a pink diamond.


Fifteen days of nonstop inventing later, Keith managed to finish the Master Inventor challenge and managed to get halfway towards completing Widget Wonder. Back at home, it's back to reality as Terry goes back to working at home while the kids do their homework.

Terry: Keith, how come you didn't want a multitab like your brothers? I would have gotten you one.
Keith: It's useless because I didn't build it! Would you like to buy a floor hygienator? Actually, that's the answer to this next question on my homework.
Terry: Forget I said anything.
