The Hollingsworth Immortal Dynasty- failed.... Please Graveyard it

[Playalot]

@ KTK10, those mixed emotions/whims/moodlets/ etc! It was really funny actually... Winston's dance was hilarious! I've never really looked at the flirty dance but.. lol. oh my gosh! Way too funny, if you saw someone in real life dancing like that you call the police to report them for obscene behaviour! 

As for the culling, well, I dunno. For whatever reason I guess it's just going to be a 'thing' for this game file now. If I could just get my houses filled up then I could find a work-around. 


Two more chapters heading this way soon...

Chapter 59: A Date


Terrence: So that's a yes to a date then?





Terrence:<sweet nothings>



Terrence: <sweet somethings>








Terence: I do have an ulterior motive for bringing you here Beth. Let's go find a seat my love.







Terrence: Now I know you're going to get upset...




Terrence: So I need you to know that I love you, and always will love you before I tell you something.



Terrence: Do you remember what I told you the night I asked you to marry me?
Beth: Yes?
Terrence: That I would never share you. My Love.





Terrence: I know about your Serial Romantic aspiration. I've always known. I knew before I asked you to marry me Beth.




Beth: <sobs> I'm so sorry Terrence. I never wanted <sob>... sorry.
Terrence: I know, it's difficult, but I needed you to know, so that there would be no more secrets hanging over us.





Terrence: Come here.





Beth: It had to be done, we needed certain aspirations completed.
Terrence: I know. It wasn't easy for me, but I understood.





Beth: Why didn't you say something?
Terrence: I wasn't sure at first, I mean, I always loved you but I wasn't sure I could live with it all.





Beth: I never meant to kill that old man...
Terrence: Oh No! NO, please love. Let's not relive it all.





Beth: It's eaten away at me for years. I've felt so guilty about it all. I wish we had spoken about this sooner.
Terrence: I felt it was the right time now.
Beth: But now I feel like you've been keeping secret's from me!
Terrence: That's just your emotions getting the better of you. You know that's not logical.





Beth: Well, you have lied to me by not telling me you knew that I'd been lying to you.
Terrence: No! Let's take a moment. To just breath.





Terrence: Remember I love you. You love me. It is all in the past.
Beth: <sigh> Yes. I'm sorry.
Terrence: I'm sorry too.





Beth: What are you sorry for?
Terrence: That we had this as a secret between us for so long. That I didn't tell you I knew sooner. That you had to feel so bad for so long. That... oh, but you're beautiful.
Beth: <sniff> lol, stop changing the subject.
Terrence: Lol, it is the subject. My love for you has always been the subject.





Terrence: So, are we good?
Beth: No. We are awesome.





Terrence: Mrs Flood Hollingsworth, will you marry me?
Beth: Oh, you know I will marry you over and over again forever and ever.

[Shewolf13]

Oh, the Terrances are just too awesome!  I'm squeeing repeatedly lol

[KTK10]

Now that was some romantic writing! What a gorgeous set up for both of the boys (and girls) Really nice , warm and fuzzy 

[Playalot]

Thanks KTK10 and Wolf, nice to change it up for a chapter or two.

Chapter 60: Pre-Immortal


Ash: Thanks Dude for takin the time to mentor me.





Dude: K, let's see what you've got.
Terrence: Nice work!





Dude: Right there! Push through that resistance.
Terrence: Argghhh, last one. Gotta go, Beth wants me upstairs.





Come in Beth.





Beth: My tables are in here! Does that... mean...
Yes, well done Beth. You have completed all your requirements for ambrosia.





Ten beautifully crafted, excellent dining tables.





Come in Terrence, take a seat.
Terrence: Oh Beth, I'm so excited for you!
Beth: I know love!





So... hard to believe, but you are finished! You still have about 8 days until you are an elder and can actually officially become an Immortal, and your good friends will probably change between now and then.
Terrence: But we can deal with the good friends issue as it happens love.





Terrence: How does it feel?
Beth: Like a dream! Exciting, thrilling, unbelievable!





Terrence: Gotta hand it to you babe, you've really fought hard for some of these requirements! What do you think was the hardest requirement or most difficult thing?





Beth:It's hard to decide. I mean, obviously having to find new good friends everyday is really difficult, and emotionally draining.





Beth: But then, on the other hand, that romantic aspiration became very challenging, also at an emotional level. Then having the Watcher make me gather crystals, and then fossils, and then learn handiness and craft 10 excellent bathtubs. I mean I think I made about 17 bathtubs all up.... oh and then having to do it all over again and make dining tables. Oh Terrence, there have been so many challenges along the way it's so hard to decide what was the most difficult.





Terrence: What was the best moment or a highlight?
Beth: Marrying you my darling! Totally, being married to you, waking up each and every morning knowing I had your total support and love. I couldn't have done it without you.





Beth: For you, what was the best thing for you?
Terrence: Marrying you! What else my love? I've been so lucky to have you in my life. And didn't we have a gorgeous daughter?





Congratulations Beth and Terrence. It really has been a team effort. Thank you Terrence for all your excellent and best selling books. The steady income was just fab as it has allowed helper sims to come in and earn points without having to get a job. Thank you Beth for sticking with it all even when we were fighting.
I'm so proud of you both.





Terrence: I'm so proud of you too Beth. You have worked endlessly and deserve your hard won right to ambrosia. I love you.
Congratulations my love.

[Shewolf13]

Oh wow!  That's awesome!  Early congrats!  Here's to hoping the culling doesn't continue to hit you so hard!

[KTK10]

She is absolutely gorgeous! I know that we have been seeing Abi the entire time - it's just with that hair cut she looks amazing. Congrats to you all for doing a great job.. Immortal No 2 coming up.. Hail in the new one! 

[MarianT]

Beth is gorgeous, and I loved the chapter where Terrence proposed. Also loved the Simon and Garfunkel reference. Good luck with Beth's friends!

[LenaLJ]

Wow she is so pretty, and congratulations on the second immortal.

[Franki]

Congrats on it all 

[dethdukk]

Congratulations on your next immortal!  You've been hard pressed to finish with her.  Are you still having the culling issues?

[Playalot]

Thank you so much everyone.   

Yes, the culling thing is a daily 'thing' in my game now. However, I have learnt that sim families do not get culled. So If I can find random townies that have at least one parent/child then they shouldn't disappear.

It's been a sim week since I evicted all my ghosts and I've only got one townie that is also a ghost... fingers crossed the houses fill up soon.

I've re-jigged my aspirations through the gens. I think I can nearly make it even with no in-house townies. Nearly, just one or two  aspirations short. So I will continue for a bit longer, with the fervent hope that The Game <glares at it> restocks my town.


As for Beth, I have never, ever had the misfortune of playing a more annoying sim! LOL, she drives me nuts. Seriously, if it was a legacy she would be killed slowly and painfully!!! I really dislike nearly everything about her. She has the most ugy face in the entire simverse. I have tried to take pretty shots of her, and her hair hides her incredibly large square jaw-line. Beth looks ok when she is sitting still, but oh my gosh.... the eyes, the eyes... <shudder> they nearly roll back in her head showing only white when she flirts or tells stories.... Arghhhh, it's the stuff of nightmares!     I have to laugh, even as I write this, if you all had only seen the things I've seen... and have to see on a daily basis with her. Poor, poor Terrence, still, they say love is blind.

She looks nothing like Abi, much to my disgust. I only hope that Lily takes after her dad or grandmother on Terrences side.

One thing I've learnt.... never use a Goth, their genetics suck!

A few more chapters coming up... and another most peculiar bug/glitch... LOL. Wouldn't be a "Playalot" story without them. I think I'm a glitch magnet. 


*edited: I've just re-read this... LOL, omg, I feel like I've 'confessed' to something terrible that a Watcher should never confess to.... disliking an immortal dynasty heir... will I be struck down by lightning? Or... wait, is THIS why I am getting so many glitches.... it's 'payback' from the simverse. 

[Shewolf13]

lol! Oh Play.  We really do need to start that betting pool at this point XD

[KTK10]

You crack me up.. every.. single.. time!! hahahaha!!
