And now, Zheena, you may finally rest. I recommend the bed, not the floor, though. Congrats to the both of you!  8)

You did it! Congrats. :D
Thanks!

Yay! Congrats Pippin! You Aced it!
Aced it?  Nah, I struggled continually, but Zheena hung in there.

Congratulations! What a tricky challenge! Now to celebrate! I'm going to miss Zheena and the gang.
I'll miss them too, and this is a rather fantastic challenge.  Kudos to CSquared for coming up with this challenge!

Congratulations! This has been an awesome story. I'm going to miss the Ghasts, but its great that you finished it!
Thanks.  It's rather a relief to have completed this.  Wasn't sure I'd make it at some points.

And now, Zheena, you may finally rest. I recommend the bed, not the floor, though. Congrats to the both of you!  8)
Yeah, I loved that she just collapsed in the background while Nexi was caring for baby Yzi.

Congrats on completing the challenge. Its a hard challenge to do I guess. How many pointa did you achieve?
I'll be posting one more update within the next couple of days with the final checklist.  I may or may not actually do the math.  It was more the challenge of having all the babies and checking off boxes more than it was about points.



Incidentally, a big part of why I was so happy to get this story was completed was my excitement over starting my newest story:  The Daughters of Loki

Ghastly Hallows--A Who's Your Daddy Project, Chapter 62: Pippin Enterprises
« Reply #423 on: June 07, 2014, 03:12:36 PM »

It was an ordinary day at Pippin Enterprises, which is to say, a Thursday.



Pippin's Anima:  As rarely as anyone comes to our office, I really don't see why we needed to hire on a receptionist and I really don't see why we hired on a live musician rather than just playing the radio.
Pippin's Self:  We hired them both for a very good reason.  They're redheads.
Pippin's Anima:  Oh.  Well, now it makes sense.
But another redhead was visiting the office that Thursday.



Zheena:  I have an appointment with the Pippins.
Amella:  I'll have to see if they're in.
Zheena:  What?  They have full wall windows.  I can see them from here.
Amella:  You're in luck, they're here.  They said you can head on in.
Zheena:  Yeah, I can tell that by the way they're waving me in.  Why do you even work here?
Amella:  We're redheads.
Berucca:  I like cats!



Pippin's Anima:  Welcome back, Zheena.  You've done a fantastic job.  Truly a work of art.
Zheena:  Why, thank you.
Pippin's Animus:  Yeah, you had more kids than I could count on my fingers if I was a squid!
Pippin's Self:  Sorry, that thought probably made sense in his own mind.



Pippin's Persona:  Well, let's get down to business and look over the final checklist.

Father Clusters

The Celebrity Cluster (worth 0.6 bonus)
___X__ 0 stars
__X___ 1 star
___X__ 2 stars
___X__ 3 stars
___X__ 4 stars
___X__ 5 stars

__X___ imaginary friend
__X___ ghost
___X__ vampire
____X_ witch
___X__ fairy
___X__ werewolf
__X___ alien
___X__ plantsim
___X__ mermaid
___X__grim

The Travel Cluster (worth 0.4 bonus)
___X__ Champs Les Sims
___X__ Al Simhara
__X___ Shang Simla
__X___ University

The Job Cluster (worth 1.5 bonus)
___X__ business
__X___ criminal

______ medical
___X__ military
___X__ music
___X__ political
___X__ sports
______ science

The Zodiac Cluster (worth 1.2 bonus)
___X__ Aries
___X__ Taurus
__X___ Gemini
__X___ Cancer
___X__ Leo
___X__ Virgo
___X__ Libra
____X__ Scorpio
___X__ Sagittarius
___X__ Capricorn
__X___ Aquarius
___X__ Pisces

Social Group Cluster (worth 0.3 bonus)
___X__ Nerd/Video Game Developer
___X__ Rebel/Art Appraiser
___X__ Jock/Sports Agent


Pippin's Self:  Fantastic!  Everything but the job cluster was completed.
Pippin's Persona:  You even worked through the dislike of supernaturals to complete that cluster...and you wrote in "grim?"



Zheena:  Yeah, supernaturals are just worthless garbage, but Grim was rather lovely, actually.  Alfie was even pretty handy to have around, if I'm being totally honest.
Pippin's Animus:  Well, I just ran the math in my head, and I'm pretty sure you earned eleventy kerbillion points!
Pippin's Anima:  (Sigh) There are reasons we don't let him do math.
Pippin's Self:  Actually, the total, excluding "grim" as it's not an actual lifestate, is 835.9...unless I'm wrong.  I think you add up all the cluster things as the multiplier and then multiply the 26 by that?  Maybe it's only one bonus total for the group rather than a bonus for each member of the group?  Maybe it's only 124.8.  I don't know how to math.
Zheena:  Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to my next adventure.



Pippin's Anima:  Wait, what?
Zheena:  Grim and I are going to get married and head back to my chateau on Isla Paradiso.
Pippin's Persona:  Wait, Grim?!!?
Zheena:  I'm an immortal temptress, he's lord of the dead.  It just seemed fitting.  Well, tata!
And thus end the tale of Zheena and the 26 babies.

Zheena x Grim for life! Maybe they reign the worlds of the living and the dead well, and not have any more nooboos for Zheena's sake.

I'm also moving this to the Completed Stories board. Congrats again!

Ghastly Hallows--A Who's Your Daddy Project, Chapter 63: The Recap
« Reply #425 on: June 08, 2014, 11:27:33 AM »

Just for those of you who get nostalgic, here's a look back at the 26 (technically 28) kids.



Abby (or Abbica Rae) was the firstborn and was Zheena's favorite.  She was a vital nurturer to the family and single-handedly raised her next 5 siblings.
Hildy (or Brynhildr) was a highly successful child astronomer and named every celestial body she discovered after herself.
Cassie (or Cassidy) was the resident stalker and had a network of spycameras hidden throughout the house, and ironically, her imaginary friend was kind of stalking her.
Djavon was the first boy and was shot down by Hildy's girlfriend before he went crawling back to his childhood friend once she aged up.
Everly managed to be glitched and ended up younger than the twins born after her, and she also had a bit of a rivalry with one of those twins over a lovely blonde girl.
Fabala was the other corner of that love triangle, but she ended up letting Everly have the girl in question.
Folson was the male twin and worked on his mixology skill, even offering his mother a drink while she was in labor.
Galilaia was an extremely vital part of this challenge as she worked incessantly at science and gardening to help create the plantsim necessary to complete the occult cluster.
Harvel had a very unique sense of style and this dramatic young man was bound and determined that he'd be a famous fashion designer.



Ish (or Ishaveen) proved the old adage that ignorance is bliss as she rarely knew what was happening, but she loved every moment of it.
Jhinx, the creepy clown girl, was Ish' polar opposite as she was so hyper-aware that she knew every detail of the challenge and was actually aware of the Watcher.
Kanis was a bit overshadowed by his sisters, but managed to find the spotlight a bit as he courted young Elspeth Cook (to whom he was still married when the challenge ended).
Lhasa was our plantsim and was a hopeless romantic who fell in love with the first girl he met at school.
'Cello (or Mahcello) was quite flirty, but also fell quickly, though it was for the already-adult Lilly-Bo Chique (whom he was still married to at the end of the challenge).
Navine, the genie child, constantly popped wishes to magically clean the house and she found immense success as an author.
Orisis was a strange child who seemed to be constantly cosplaying, and wore the bunny jammies far too often.
Perstephanie was a brilliant inventor and technical guru, which is why she was recruited to join the SIA after aging up to young adult.



Queronus was famous for looking like Ron Weasley and filled Abby's earlier role as the uber-nurturer.
Razz (or Razzlefrazz) was goofy and flighty as he spent a good chunk of his time courting a teen gal who was a babysitter, then immediately married someone else (who he had never met before) upon moving out.
Steyonce was the alchemist extraordinaire and provided Zheena with friendship elixirs that helped keep her relationship with Alfonso viable.
Theena assumed the superhero identity of Tiger-Girl and performed heroic acts like doing the dishes and dumpster diving.
Udarea was the expected child (though she ended up being the first of a set of twins) and she became a rather talented violinist.
Nexi (or Unexpected) was the second twin, though she found her place in the household as she took over the alchemy from Steyonce.
Vendy (or Vendrea) was severely traumatized when her mother informed her that the hot tub in which she was soaking might have been the place where she was conceived.
Werrden was an evil young man bent on world domination, and he was a very doting big brother.
Xibrato was a very self-confident young man who hit on the repairwoman immediately after aging up to child.
Yzi (or Yzabith), as the daughter of the immortal manipulator that is Zheena and the Grim Reaper himself, is basically waiting her turn to rule over the world of the living and the dead.
Zerina, the only child of Zheena and Alfonso, managed to bring the challenge to an end, though didn't really develop any storyline of her own.

Hope that you enjoyed reading this twisted tale every bit as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Congrats on completion! and a really really funny story. I looked forward to each of your updates and will watch out for your other/next stories. Loved those crazy pregnancy outfits of Zheena's  ;) Altogether an amazing effort and a fantastic story  :D

Thanks, Trip!  Glad you enjoyed this crazy little tale and the resolution of Grimmy and Zheena.

Pregnancy outfits are both amusingly random and such the bane of my Sims' existence.  They take them so shockingly away from their own senses of style, yet so many of them are just ridiculous!
Glad you enjoyed the story and hope you enjoy my others every bit as much  :=)

Could you show us what little Zerina looked like as YA? I want to see if she looks more like Zheena or Alfonso.

P.S. I just realized who Ishaveen's attitude and views of life resemble. Ralph Wiggum, the clueless kid from The Simpsons.

Hmm, I will have to pull up this file again and age up dear Zerina.  I'm rather intrigued by the genetics myself.

Thanks!  I was pretty happy that she managed to get as many clusters as she did.

Awesome job, Pip!  I'll always have a soft spot for Jhinx.
Thanks so much!  Jhinx is quite the character.  I'm glad you enjoyed her.
