Chapter 44-. . . but no cigar



Simone: You're not mad at me, are you?
Faraday: Nah. It's not your fault, it's silly game mechanics. I'll just need to wait a bit longer to find the one, that's all. Like most people.



Betabee: Dynamo! Where are you going?
Dynamo: I'm retiring. I'll have a much better life in an old dogs home, with other dogs and plenty of carers and lots of walkies . . .
Betabee: Okay then. Have a good retirement.
Dynamo: Thanks. Good luck with the dynasty!



It's that time of year again: Cake sneezing time!



Einstein: I look just like my grandpa!
Betabee: How do you know? You haven't seen what you look like yet!
Einstein: It happens to all men.



In a spectacular turn of events, Einstein has found another hat (and some green hair dye).



His outfits are as stunning as ever.



Einstein: How do I look?
Puzzle: Awesome. Go on Einstein- get the last bits done. Then you can relax and dream as much as you like.



The museum pieces were completed . . .



. . . and it was Einstein's turn to eat ambrosia.



Einstein: Hmm. Tastes like raktajino with a hint of pan-galactic gargleblaster.



Puzzle: Yay! You did it!



And the now-traditional dishwasher shot. 5 down, 3 to go folks!



Betabee: Who's this?
Faraday: This is Samantha. I forget her last name, but she was in my class at school and so is probably significantly younger than Simone.
Betabee: And have you told Simone that she's moving in yet?
Faraday: ...



Such pretty eyes. This is why you should save custom eye colours!



Samantha: So Faraday tells me we'll get married and have a little girl. When will this happen?
Betabee: Once his old girlfriend dies.
Samantha: What?!



Betabee: NO no no no no!



Samantha: Don't worry, I'm just turning adult.
Betabee: Phew! (takes a few moments to slow heart rate)



Simone: What do you mean, you moved in a younger woman already! Do I mean nothing to you?
Faraday: Well, no. But the dynasty has to keep going. It can't stop for you, I'm sorry! Do you expect me to wait until I'm an old man before finding the mother of the next generation simply to not hurt your feelings?
Betabee: I'll try and make it up to you later, Simone. I'm sorry you've had to go through this, but otherwise this is going to take forever. I've got things to do.



In the meanwhile, Faraday and Samantha's relationship blossomed.




They even got engaged, which is further than Faraday and Simone ever got. I really hope it works out this time . . .



Faraday: I wish . . .



Faraday: Well that didn't work out. I need a haircut.



With his hairstyle back and most of the political career under his belt, we now have a waiting game on our hands. Will Simone die before it's too late for Samantha to have children? Or will Faraday have to go looking again? I sincerely hope not . . .

Chapter 45- All the things



Faraday: I wonder how long it will be until Samantha and I can bring in the next generation?
Franklin: Hmm. Depends how kind the sparkles are.

And I forgot to get a museum piece picture for Faraday's adult pieces in a spectacular turn of events. I'll go back and get a pic of it at the end.



A lot of time passed. Faraday maxed the political career and finished all his opps in good time.



This happened three days before Samantha's adult birthday. Three. Days.



Betabee: I'm sorry, Simone, but I don't feel sad at all. Excuse me while I go do important dynasty things?
Simone: Sure, I guess. There's not a lot I can do to stop you. Bye.
Betabee: Bye.



The last wedding of the dynasty was a hasty hallway affair.



And no, Samantha didn't get time to use the lovely formalwear I designed for her. Sigh.




Due to fertility treatment for both parents, chimes were heard first time. Woot woot!


Plenty of watermelon was consumed to secure the future of the dynasty.



Betabee: And it's confirmed! Happy dance!
Samantha: So, what are you going to do to fill the rest of the chapter?
Betabee: I'm going to redecorate the house!!



Of course, this means an obligatory house tour. The theme this time is 'everything', so every room has a different colour! This is the living room . . .



The kitchen/diner . . .



The hallway . . .



The portrait/lab rat/birthday room . . .



Downstairs bathroom 1 . . .



Downstairs bathroom 2 . . .



The free skills room/lab . . .



Both first-floor bathrooms . . .



And the second floor bathroom.



Finally, overviews of the house as it is now. I don't intend to do any more major redecorations except for the bedrooms of gen 7 and 8. This is the ground floor . . .



The first floor . . .



And the second floor. What do you think of the redecoration? Leave your comments or constructive criticism below!

I just got through it and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. You're a great writer, and I hope you'll continue  ;)

Waiting with bated breath to see what's next!
because... Math *Pippin The Most Tenacious Simmer*

Only 2 things are infinite... The universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe. *Albert Einstein*

Don't believe all the quotes that have been attributed to me. *Albert Einstein*

I can't ignore ALL of the voices in my head - Some of them actually make sense! *Blayzen*

I'm glad you're enjoying this! I am continuing, I'm just taking my own sweet time doing it... (otherwise known as I got distracted over the summer. I'll get my act together now since I'm not going to get sims 4 until christmas, a handy ploy to try and finish off this and the riversongs!)

Chapter 46- An increase in velocity



Faraday: Well, it's nice to see that my great-great grandfather is still keeping tabs and sending gifts.
Samantha: Or it could just be that you know everyone in town, including your remarkably well great-great grandfather?
Faraday: We live in a house of immortals. Is one long-lived great-great grandfather such a suprise?



I'm not quite sure what Newton's trying to say here. It's either the classic 'i can't get out' complaint (boring) or he's complaining about the amount of baby talk in the house at the moment (inaccurate but hilarious).



Faraday: So when's the baby due?
Samantha: She should arrive in a few screenshots time.



Speaking of which . . .



In a stunning break with tradition, Samantha and Faraday trekked to the hosptial and brought back Curie (Well done everyone who guessed correctly!).



Oh, you want explanations for the clues now? Well, Nobel 1 and Nobel 2 refer to the 2 nobel prizes Marie Curie recieved in her lifetime (one in Physics and one in Chemistry). Broniswala was her older sister, who was instrumental in ensuring she could fund her studies, and Henri Becquerel shared her Nobel prize in physics.



Samantha's birthday came the next day.



Samantha: Why didn't all you old people warn me about the back ache?
Newton: We keep it quiet so as to not scare all those young 'uns. It's easier that way.
Samantha: Fine. I guess I'll hobble up to the dresser now then.




The effort I am putting into outfits is decreasing over time since I'm trying my best to play through these last two generations with some speed.
Samantha: It's still better than the sparkle's sense of fashion.



This is one of the only pictures from Curie's childhood. I'm going at those sorts of speeds.



And so we move on to her toddler birthday.



The brown is back, ladies and gentlemen!




Curie's favourite colour is lilac, so I'm putting considerable effort in making her not look like Franklin.



One of the reasons I am speeding up is glitches. They're starting to catch up a bit- they recently wiped all the portraits, photos and sculptures. I'll probably need to go into previous save files to get pictures of any I missed screenshotting the first time around.



We won't let small things like painting glitches stop us though!



Curie's museum pieces. I'll try and assemble pictures of all the museum pieces in a non-wiped state by way of old save files for the final stats.



Pasteur: Can you say 'cat', ma little cherie?
Curie:Nie, nie chcę mówić o głupich rzeczy jak koty. Jesteś dziwny człowiek i dość głupie dla Francuza.
Pasteur:Que?
Curie:*Sigh* C'est idiot et une perte de temps. puis-je apprendre ą marcher maintenant?
Pasteur: Only if you switch to speaking simlish.
Curie: Fine.



Faraday: Do you know how much I like the outdoors?
Chip: Erm, you've been detailing your intense love of the outdoors for the last 3 hours. But by all means, please continue.
Faraday: I love the outdoors soo so much!
Chip: It's quite touching, but do I really need to know?
Faraday: I will keep telling you my joy about trees until you agree to be my best friend.
Chip: Yes I'll be your best friend! Can I go now?



It really saddens me that this painting/photo/sculpture glitch has wiped the photos of the mortal helpers.
Forum: Is there another purpose to this screenshot?
Oh. Right. Birthdays! (All the birthdays!)



First, it was Faraday's turn to experience back-creeking sparkles.



Then it was time for Curie to grow up.



Betabee: Are you okay Curie?
Curie: Yeah, I'm just examining my new lack of fringe in detail. Can I get to a dresser now?
Betabee: I'm pretty much at the screenshot limit this chapter. Next time!
