A giant thank you to everyone who has read and commented. I am more or less typing one-handed right now. Yeah...my carpal tunnel has decided to flare up again. It goes without saying that an update isn't in the cards in the relatively near future. I'm about 85% finished with the chapter, but as you can imagine, one-handed typing is a touch on the slow side.
As promised, though, I do have a bunch of outtakes from the two weddings—and then some. I hope you enjoy—and hopefully my right wrist will stop hurting soon so I can type with
both hands!
Outtakes and InsanityGobi and Zelda's wedding was an exercise in chaos, as most sim weddings are. At the time it was the most ridiculously chaotic that I had yet experienced—and I've thrown Sims wedding parties with 14+ in the household.
For the sake of storytelling I had Gobias, Zelda, Pauline, Morgana, and Leighton all in the same household. The guest list was as follows: the four Langeraks, Boyd and Susan Wainwright, Judy Bunch, Stiles McGraw, and Abraham Finkel. Strictly family and co-workers.
The game decided to invite Jack and Darlene Bunch, Cornelia and Mortimer Goth, and Malcolm Landgraab—none of whom are in any of the household's relationship panels. Okay, so Judy brought a date, I can see that...and having Darlene there opened up a fun bit of dialogue that never made it into the final cut of the chapter just because I could not figure out where to put it:
---
“So are you behaving yourself? No more wild stunts on the playground?”
“Nah, I'm over that,” Darlene answered. “Playing in the fire pit is much more fun.”
Morgana hoped that the eleven-year-old was joking...but somehow she doubted it.
---
Okay, so the extra guests were not really a big deal, except more sims mean not enough chairs and lo and behold, your standard wedding traffic jam.
Then after the ceremony Cornelia decided that she really didn't like Judy and started arguing with her.
That puddle, by the way, was Stiles's doing. So much for that multi-stall bathroom facility that I built for the occasion.
The whole “pee self” theme continued into Morgana and Leighton's wedding to an extreme that I've never before seen. I attempted their wedding three times for screenshot purposes (and finally scrapped most of them in favor of staged shots). I mentioned that Gobi and Zelda's wedding was the most chaotic I had played
at the time...because this one was far
worse!:P
It all began when Geoffrey couldn't hold it...
then Agnes,
then Dorie,
and finally Gobias, though the only one who bore witness to his ignominy was Tia Rose.
Meanwhile good old inappropriate Yumi was laughing her butt off the whole time.
As opposed to how I portrayed it in this last chapter, Morgana went into labor in the evening. For the sake of staged shots I had to move the time back a bit so she wouldn't actually go into labor while I was trying to take screencaps.
The
actual labor scene was rather humorous. Not so much for the standard wave arms and panic thing, but what happened when I had Leighton take Morgana to the hospital.
They walked.
Er, Leighton
ran, rather...and Morgana more or less ambled. That's her in the upper right corner
still in front of the park.
Finally, I have to show this one because I love the expression on Leighton's face.
And yes...this was where they tried for baby.
