For Fluid Dynamics!Generation two has made her way through her requirements and is ready to say hello. Meet Horra Fying!
Already her features are starting to mellow. She's got her dad's nose and I'm guessing his hair colour - I forgot to take the hat he wears off to double check before he went grey.
Most of her body sliders have been changed, quite obviously. She still has a good deal of muscle definition, and the gazonga slider is still maxed. If my guess about inheritance of that slider is correct, it's always a copy of the mother's. By generation eight it'll be easy to see if that's true or not.
Horra's supermax is painting and she became a Forensic Analyst (police career). One of her traits is neurotic for the neon paintings. So far she hasn't made any neon portraits, and at this point I don't think it will happen. Unlike other painting traits the neon isn't an image filter, it appears to be an alternate version of the game's paintings. Since there aren't alternates of portraits, there can't be any neon portraits in the museum. Ah, well, it still made for a bright and entertaining supermax!
Since Horra didn't have much going on with her, I wanted to share my shameful building secrets (a.k.a. speed playing in a dynasty). Welcome to Boxington Manor, the worst Immortal Dynasty home ever slapped together!
Auto-roof? Check. Interior wallpaper on the outside? Check. Lack of landscaping? Check. Complete absence of recolouring? Check. Wads of simoleons in reserve, offering no excuse for this atrocity against simkind? Check.Between playing this forum's challenges and my own impatient frustrations with pathing issues and goofy sim AI, I've developed a sort of formula to keep sims safe, happy, and out of my hair. As you can see there's the main room - that's where the sims spend most of their time. Rocking chairs let them rest and have fun without any bed ownership issues. They can even nap while a baby is crying or the stereo is on! Burglars never come to the house, since nobody ever sleeps. Teens never have mood swings, because there's no bed to wake up on the wrong side of.
Initially there was a barista bar, which was working great at keeping them fed, but it turns out kids can't use them. Oops. I found this out when Horra kept getting really hungry every evening and never doing anything about it. I broke down and bought them a fridge. Quick meals might not give them moodlets, but it keeps them alive. Even locking a kitchen for helper use only can lead to issues - in the time it took Laurel to upgrade the replicator and make the first batch of ambrosia in a locked room with a counter, the household managed to pull out four platters of food to cook, blocked access to the fridge with one of those platters, and Horra's husband wound up in the last stage away from death by starvation because he couldn't get anything to eat!
Overhead view of the 'stick it against the wall as it's needed' interiorThe side rooms get added on whenever something needs to be placed behind a locked door. Tera's science room is at the front of the house, with Horra's painting room at the back. The empty room is where an easel gets dropped whenever a portrait needs to be painted (my one concession to aesthetics - at first the easel was being dropped in the main room, but rocking chairs make for an ugly background).
Toilet stalls prevent any embarassment issues, and having separate shower rooms does the same. All of my heirs get steel bladder and simmunity as rewards. Between those and strategically placed floor hygenators it's only the spouses and helpers who ever need to go outside. Add in a massive supply of basil, elixirs to keep fun, energy, and social up, and it makes accomplishing the heir's requirements a breeze!
Not pictured: Horra's technophobe husband Gilbert trying to sabotage a brain machine. Again. At least he makes the butler earn his pay.Due to my paranoia about crashes and bugs (they've already said hello in this dynasty), I'm trying to minimize memory usage, which is why there's no recolours on anything. Even the household suffers in the aesthetic department - apart from one everyday outfit getting chosen on their young adult birthday for screenshots, they get to wear whatever hideous ensemble the game creates for them. Overall it might not be the prettiest dynasty in the world, but it is quite efficient. Almost scientifically so!
