Genesis Sims - Who's Your Daddy? - Daddy #11 (June 16th)

[RainBeau]

You make me luagh out loud with this update. Edsel wearing a speedo and a bowtie to church, for example. And cats in the pancakes. So much lol.

[CSquared2]

@Ausette, yes, Fiona is a Diva, and yes, more Gil in the second half.

Thank you both for reading and commenting.

[CSquared2]

Hhheeeerrreeee's Edsel!

[PeregrineTook]

REALLY enjoying this story and the premise of this challenge.  I just stumbled on this toady and read the whole story thus far straight through.  Good writing and I enjoy how you let the characters be themselves.  That's it, you've won me over, I must do this challenge!  Project.  Whatever.  I must do this!

[Louise56]

I'm glad you enjoy the new expansions! Very funny update lol.

[oxJennxo]

Great update!  I was quite surprised to see both Seasons and Supernatural.  Edsel will make a great PI!  Fiona is great!  I can't wait for part 2!   Harriet looks adorable by the way.

[CSquared2]

Thank you, Peregrine, Louise and Jenn for your comments.

Sorry for the delay in writing this second half.  Real life.  It afflicts us all.



We ended the last half-installment with a kitchen fire.  Well, a cake fire, to be more precise, the kitchen part was coincidental.

Gil aged up to teen and did it with a flare flame.  I usually forget which traits are assigned for which birthdays as soon as I assign them, but Gil is now Athletic, Insane, a Light Sleeper and Rebellious.

He's a dastardly villain.



A dastardly villain who picks up his sister's toys.

Those toys have sat out for weeks.  The others don't seemed to be bothered by them and Gil isn't Neat.



Gil's insanity runs more along the lines of loony than criminal.  This actually happened at school.  It was a weekend.  He is wearing clothes, I promise.  Well, some clothes.



If Gil wants to shore up his bad boy image, he could take a few lessons from his older sister, who has covered our yard with evil snowmen.



Most recently, Fiona has begun shooing Minerva.  This is something new that she's begun doing autonomously.  Not so bad when the addled Minerva is napping on the kitchen table, a little less appropriate when she's asleep on her own cat tower.

Is she in your seat, Fiona?



Gil aged up just in time to go to prom with alongside Fiona, who has already been once and, despite her looks and piercing stares, found herself a boyfriend.  Gil, no surprise, finds himself someone special, too: Tomika Rasmussen, post-makeover.



Fiona really is bad you guys.  When I say one of the kids has a boyfriend or girlfriend, it almost always means they met someone at prom.  I invite the romantic interest over long enough to do a makeover and send them on their way.  Only occasionally does one wind up back at the house just to hang out.

So in saying that, Tomika was in the Sims' house for about 15 minutes.  Which is all the time it took for Fiona to hit on her.  Sad to say, it was mutual, which doesn't say much for Tomika's standards.



Before you think Tomika might be the problem, you should know this happened the day before.  Marley Williams, Harriet's father, stopped by autonomously to visit.  Fiona made sure he never made it past the front door per my orders.  I did not order them to announce their mutual attraction for one another.  I do not have that mod in my game, but Fiona doesn't seem to care what I want.



Finally it's time for babydaddy I: the man who will not die.  I'm not exaggerating when I say that every other night, I get a pop-up saying Alvaro Farrar is doomed.  Every other night, all the other townspeople whose demise has been announced beforehand do in fact die.  Not Alvaro.  He just won't die.  He was supposed to be babydaddy H, but wouldn't cooperate, so before he really could kick the bucket, I brought him back for babydaddy I.

It helped that he was the last one on the list still living.  And living, and living.



In case you forgot, here's a young version of Alvaro.  He is one who received a makeover to alleviate his blandface.



I've been really good about timing things just right so that the previous nooboo ages up to child just before another nooboo arrives, but this time I goofed up and Genesis got pregnant too early, and/or I left Harriet's birthday too late.  So Harriet is still a toddler when nooboo I arrives.

Welcome to Ivan Alvaro Sims!  Ivan is Excitable and a Virtuoso.

And the other reason why I decided it best to split this installment into two parts . . .



Welcome to Isidore Farrar Sims!  Izzy is Insane and Friendly.

Great, an insane son who thinks he's a cat, an insane son who likes to run around naked in the snow and now an insane son who wants to be your best friend.  Lovely.

Apparently, Alvaro's got some major mojo going on.  Not only does he escape death repeatedly, he manages completely unassisted twins, too.  Oh, Genesis helped, too.

So that's it for installment 9B.  Thanks for reading and commenting!

I like Mr. Alvaro's nose, and I don't even know why.

Gil is now my favorite child of this family, mostly for his eyes. He has pretty eyes.

[RainBeau]

Aaah! A toddler and two babies! Genesis is going to go insane, methinks.

Go Alvaro!

I like Gil too. He is handsome and very dastardly-looking.

[Audren]

What a glorious nose Alvaro has. I for one hope it gets passed down to Isadore and Ivan! 

[PeregrineTook]

I'm sold.  I'll be doing this challenge.
Loving the variety in the kids.  Not sure about a favorite.  Definitely curious to see how the first set of twins work out for the household.

[SimBlip]

Twins! Lovely!
Are you keeping tally of the fathers for a score, CS? Or are you just going for 26 pregnancies?
Great updates!

PS. I also thought Edsel rocked with glasses!

[CSquared2]

Thank you all for your comments. 

I'm not too worried about the twins.  Genesis definitely has life easy, so even doubling the amount of childcare isn't going to be too great a burden.  Fiona will be leaving home shortly, but Gil and Harriet will be available to help out.  I might make it sound harder than it really is, though.

@SimBlip, no, not keeping score.  I'm too likely to give up before it's over.  I'll be thoroughly pleased with myself if I just finish!

[CSquared2]

Yay!  A new update!

First things first: good real nooboo news.  After our disappointment in December, in January we were contacted by a new expectant mom planning to place her baby for adoption.  She wound up choosing us and the baby is due in July.  We don't know gender and don't plan to find out until the birth.  Of course, there's risk in this match just like the last one, so keep your fingers crossed!  It's a roller coaster and our emotions are all over the place!

Now on to the update.  It is really hard to pick just 20 pictures this time around.  I could easily include twice as many.  So if the pictures aren't intricately woven into one another, that's why.  There are a bunch of cool shots missing in between.

We left off with the birth of Genesis' twins, Ivan and Isidore, sons of the madeover townie Alvaro Farrar.  Edsel moved out, leaving a teenage Fiona, child Gil and toddler Harriet in addition to the twins.



The melting of an evil snowman . . . what omen is this?  What could this portend?



Fiona is moving out!

Wait, THAT'S Fiona?!  What happened?!

I don't know, folks.  The nose is still a little stubby and ill-defined, but she grew up gorgeous.  I can't explain it, but the men of the Simiverse had better look out.

Fiona's traits fell out at:

• Snob
• Diva
• Evil
• Slob
• Star Quality

Her lifetime wish is Gold Digger (that was a no-brainer.)  Her zodiac sign is Taurus, she likes soul music, lobster thermidor and sea foam.

If anyone's forgotten, her father is Aiden Jones.



"Time for my dastardly plans!  Too long have I lived in the shadow of my sister!  Now it is my time to rise . . ."



"And RUMBA!"



"I may be poorly suited for this line of work."

Agreed.



This is Harriet.  "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a space alien!"



"No, no, no, not another probing, please!"

I suppose pushing out ten kids is better?

Not aliens this time, though.  The grim reaper came for Minerva the cat.  It was sad, but Minerva tripped up into heaven blissfully.  The Sims have a new cat: Tinkerbell.



Meet Tinkerbell, the most annoying cat ever.  I didn't mind when the other cats would wake Genesis up in the morning, even if she wasn't quite fully rested.  They never attempted to wake her before 6:30am or so.  Tinkerbell prefers 3am.

I had to lock the bedroom door.



The twins have a birthday.  Isidore takes after Alvaro, Ivan is all Genesis.

Genesis definitely has a favorite and its Ivan.  She has three times as many wishes for him as she does for Izzy.



Harriet has a birthday.  If Fiona is any precedent to follow, Harriet will be a bombshell . . . once she gets through looking bombed.

This is actually one of my attempts (unsuccessful, obviously) to improve Harriet's looks.



This is the look I settled on.  I'm not thrilled with it, but much like real life teens, my sim teens seem always to have an awkwardness that transcends good fashion choices.



And some choices are questionable, plain and simple.



A snakeskin car means a new father is visiting.



Dad #10 is Topher Baker.  The Baker family is from the pre-made family bin in Edit Town.  Topher starts life as a toddler, but grows up into a rather unique looking guy.  I'll try to throw a picture of Topher (you know, from the front) in next time.  I thought I'd snagged a shot from CAS, but apparently it didn't take.



Izzy (top) and Ivan have another birthday.  Ivan gains Neat and Izzy gains Unlucky.  Ivan still takes after Genesis, but Izzy is still Alvaro's spitting image.  For those of you hoping the nose would be passed down, you may have gotten your wish.



Genesis goes into labor with baby J.  Usually there's no one in the immediate vicinity to freak out, but this birth fell on a leisure day, so Harriet and Gil begin synchronized freak out dances.

"Help!  Mom won't stop having kids and we're trapped in invisible boxes!"

Harriet actually shows a hint here of the beauty I suspect will skyrocket when she ages up.



Baby #10 is a boy: Jasper Topher Sims.  That brings the total to seven boys and four girls.  Jasper is Absent-minded and Good.

Thanks for reading, everyone!  I appreciate your time and your comments!



"Gil, I don't really want to look.  Are you wearing clothes?"

I can totally understand why there isn't one, but wouldn't a nudist trait be fun???

[PeregrineTook]

I'm enjoying your portrayal of Gil.  He seems to have the character of a cartoon villain to me.
