Sims are very weird, that's the reason I love them. And Pollinators!! :D
Sims craziness always makes me smile  :=)
Yeah, the pollinators are always an interesting addition to a dynasty.  Melvin is outstanding.  Bennie...is not.

River's Eleven--Double Trouble
« Reply #19 on: January 09, 2016, 11:37:47 AM »

Pippin:  We rejoin the Baglum household where young Sage has just encountered the spirit of Bennie.



Sage:  Not going back in that house.
Pippin:  So, you're just going to stand out in the snow in your jammies?
Sage:  ...yes...
Pippin:  But she does eventually come back inside for some cake as all four girls had birthdays on the same day.





Pippin:  Hahahahahaha!!!  Nice face, monkey girl!
Scarlet:  Hey, I'm just happy I have hair this time...but could we style it, maybe?
Pippin:  Of course, but let's make fun of your twin first.
Scarlet:  Deal!



Pippin:  Oh.  She aged up just fine.
Scarlet:  I'm the heir.  Why are all the bad things happening to me?
Sage:  Probably because the whole story ends up being about you for the foreseeable future, so you need to be really interesting.
Pippin:  I thought Scarlet was the bright one...?
Sage:  I have my moments.
Scarlet:  And now we get to have our makeover moment!



Sage:  So, can we go prank houses now?
Scarlet:  You damage the exteriors, I'll take stuff from the interiors.
Pippin:  Riverview is in trouble.
Scarlet:  Double trouble.
Rhoda:  Pippin?  I have two other children.
Pippin:  Oh, yes, I was busy admiring my own makeovers and forgot.



Pippin:  First was Saffron, followed by Sepia.



Rhoda:  Really?  You got a shot of the back of her head after the sparkles?
Scarlet:  No worries, mom, he got a really good shot of Sage and me celebrating.
Pippin:  Here, I'll provide a better shot.



Pippin:  That's Sepia in front and Saffron following.  Speaking of following, the girls' birthdays actually came following someone else aging up.
Rhoda:  (groan)





Rhoda:  Well, guess I need to stop calling Henry "old man" and "grandpa."
Henry:  No worries, granny, I still think you're gorgeous.
Rhoda:  You're sweet.  Call me "granny" again and I'll snap you like a twig.
Henry:  Noted.  Now, time to teach Scarlet to drive.



Henry:  Really?  You're going out dressed like that?
Scarlet:  Says the fogey in his undershorts.
Rhoda:  That's my girl!



Scarlet:  It sure was sweet of mom to steal this truck for me!
Henry:  We prefer to the term "bought."
Scarlet:  "Bought," "stole, "borrowed," basically the same thing.
Pippin:  And speaking of getting around in vehicles, the girls came home in interesting fashion after pranking the school.



Pippin:  Sage created a distraction and got caught toilet papering the principal's office while Scarlet got off scot free stealing the answers to the big test.



Pippin:  And this was how they came home.  Fortunately, they both learned their lessons and have turned away from pranking and stealing.



Pippin:  Or maybe not.
Scarlet:  Hi, I'm Scarlet.



Jared:  Well hello there.  My name's Jared.
Scarlet:  I know.  you're one of Melvin's kids.
Jared:  Umm, no, my dad's name is Angel...
Scarlet:  Of course it is.  Aren't you going to invite me inside?
Jared:  Oh, umm, yes?



Scarlet:  Ooo, love your choice of colors!  Try to stay alive for a long time, okay?
Jared:  Umm, okay.  You mentioned my father.  He and my mother actually divorced recently...
Scarlet:  That is a shame!  Where's your garage?



Pippin:  But Scarlet wasn't the only member of our household to visit the Lobos home.



Pippin:  Melvin, isn't that one of the twin daughters of Marisol Lobos...the woman you fathered Jared with?
Melvin:  Yeah, Marisol's an elder, so I asked her to just be friends.  Anita here, on the other hand, is a rather lovely young adult.



Melvin:  Very lovely indeed...
Pippin:  So, if you have a baby with Anita, Jared will be the baby's half-brother and uncle.  Things could get weird.



Melvin:  I think things just got weird.
Pippin:  (Facepalms)

I was worried for Scarlet, but after she finished stretching and got her makeover, she looks great.

Well, if Jared doesn't stick around long enough, Melvin has guaranteed that there is a back up plan to still get that house.

I was worried for Scarlet, but after she finished stretching and got her makeover, she looks great.
Yeah, at the moment I had paused the game and taken that picture, I was really nervous for her.  However, she ended up being quite lovely, I think.

Oh geez, that poor family! Scarlet and Sage are an awesome duo.
I agree, Scarlet and Sage are fantastic!

Scarlet's face!!! haha

Melvin has really been a fun character in this story.  Of course, pollinators are rather a ridiculous concept, so it only seems right to play up just how ridiculous they are  :=)

River's Eleven--The Scarlet Shadow
« Reply #25 on: January 15, 2016, 08:06:06 AM »
Pippin:  The Baglum household was making friends wherever they went.



Melvin:  Thanks for sharing the shower with me, Carlotta.
Anita:  I'm Anita.
Melvin:  Yes you are!



Sage:  (in a mocking voice)  I'm Tom Shallow.  Shallow just like the gene pool I swam out of.
Tom:  How dare you!
Sage:  Don't worry about how snotty you are, if you live long enough, I'll age up and beat the snot out of you.
Pippin:  Okay, maybe we're not making friends.  Let's talk about something else.  Scarlet?



Scarlet:  My outerwear is awesome.
Pippin:  Stylish and functional.
Scarlet:  Yes, very functional.



Scarlet:  Well, I think I'll go console the poor Simovitch family.  I understand someone stole their car.



Roosevelt:  Welcome to my home.
Scarlet:  Ugh, if I take over this place I will definitely have to redecorate.
Roosevelt:  Pardon me?
Scarlet:  I said I heard someone stole your car.  How terrible.



Pippin:  And eventually, prom, and therefore formal wear, time came around for the twins.  Scarlet was named prom queen, both girls were shot down for dances, and Sage came home having gained a boyfriend she'd never met before.
Sage:  I may need a restraining order.



Scarlet:  Oh look, you built us a prom shrine.
Sage:  Why is my picture just about to fall off the dresser?
Scarlet:  Wow, way to make the spare feel special, Pippin.
Pippin:  I'm sorry!  It's the only way both pictures and the crown would fit!  Anyway, Rhoda was still up to her old tricks.



Rhoda:  "Old tricks?"  Assuming that's an old joke?
Pippin:  Maybe...but speaking of getting older, Saffron and Sepia aged up to teens.
Scarlet:  Ooo, let's make fun of how silly they look!
Sage:  Done!



Pippin:  Things didn't go to badly for Saffron.



Pippin:  Hahahahahaha!!
Sage:  Nice face, Sepia!
Scarlet:  Good heavens.  Our sister has turned into a duck-billed platypus.
Pippin:  Anyway, Sepia overcame her platypus status and the girls got their makeovers.



Pippin:  And apparently they both saw something interesting off to the left.  However, they spent more of their time staring at mirrors so they could develop their charisma skills...by being very vain, apparently.



Sepia:  We're practicing speeches, Pippin, not staring at ourselves.
Saffron:  Well, I might have been staring at myself a little.
Pippin:  And Scarlet was still checking out her options.
Scarlet:  Your house is pretty nice, Melvin Jr.



Freddy (son of Meadow):  Aren't you that girl who's the whole reason my dad can't marry my mom and come live with us?
Scarlet:  ...no...pretty sure that's Ruby Broke's daughter, Alejandra.
Sage:  It is?  I thought it was you.
Scarlet:  (sigh)  Fine.  It's me.  Anyway, why don't you let me see how nice your house is so I can decide if I want it.  I mean, if I think I might have mushy, romantic feelings for you.
Freddy:  Okay.



Saffron:  Hi, Alejandra Broke, daughter of Ruby Broke!  You should totally be our family friend so that we can meet Scarlet's move out requirements and then maybe later some heir can marry you since you're a vampire so you'll live a long time, though we'll need to cure your vampirism first, and then maybe you'll somehow pass on Ruby's genes more than your own because she's lovely, but you're just kind of average.
Alejandra:  Please stop talking.
Pippin:  And while things are going well for Saffron and Sepia as our charisma crew, things were not going as well for Rhoda.



Rhoda:  Stupid police.  I used to be able to outrun them.  Stupid old age.  Not one word, Pippin!
Pippin:  ...
Rhoda:  Good choice.  You may speak now.
Pippin:  So, before aging up, Scarlet learned the valuable skill of climbing walls.



Scarlet: Yeah, I'm gifted.
Pippin:  But finally, the time to age up arrived.



Scarlet:  I'm not bald again!
Sage:  Well, that's far less fun.
Pippin:  Yeah, and she doesn't have a monkey face.  This birthday was way less fun.
Scarlet:  Okay, if you two are done criticizing me, I think it's time to get my wardrobe together, start learning a skill, and get a career.
Pippin:  Yeah, that sounds about right.



Scarlet:  Maxing athletics...in style!!
Pippin:  And while she did that, Sage aged up.



Sage:  Ugh!  It's a dress!
Pippin:  Yeah, you look pretty.
Sage:  I know!  Fix it!
Pippin:  And while she was fixing that, the Scarlet Shadow made her debut as an acrobat.



Scarlet:  Look, I'm sideways.
Pippin:  Umm, I guess that's impressive...
Scarlet:  Now I'm levitating.



Pippin:  Okay, now I'm impressed.
Sage:  Ugh, you're making me read books!



Pippin:  Yep, Sage is mastering social networking so she can use the relationship transmogrifier to make instant friends if needed.
Sage:  Can't I just threaten people into liking us?
Pippin:  ...I don't think that's how making friends works...
Sage:  Dang it!
Pippin:  But one friend was lost during this time.  Melvin had just begun a romantic relationship with...some Sim with an awesome nose and lambie jammies whose name I've forgotten...



Pippin:  when this happened.



Grim:  Sorry, gotta take your new boyfriend away...which I guess makes you single now.  Call me!

True stuff!  Sims in general are more limber than I've ever been  ;=)

Glad you enjoyed the Scarlet Shadow in her glory.  I real game time, the next heir has already come into the picture.  I just need to find enough time to put together another update (which will probably have some more performance shots).

River's Eleven--Just a Second
« Reply #29 on: January 22, 2016, 07:14:25 PM »
Pippin:  We rejoin the Baglum Dynasty and it appears that Scarlet fell into a burning ring of fire.



Scarlet:  Really?  You're using my glorious acrobatics career successes to make song references instead of praising me for finishing all of my requirements with a day to spare before adulthood hits?
Pippin:  ...maybe...
Scarlet:  Whatever.  I'm going to go play the bass in the graveyard some more.
Pippin:  Okay, 'cause that's a thing people do.



Pippin:  Hey, look!  Punk rock Martha Stewart came to watch you.   Anyway, this whole dynasty success thing is nifty and all, but I was wondering if you might do a small favor for me before we head into the next phase of the dynasty.
Scarlet:  Maybe...
Pippin:  (whispering)
Scarlet:  Seriously?
Pippin:  ...yes...
Scarlet:  Alright.



Scarlet:  Hi formerly elder but now young adult Ruby Broke who was aged down with a fountain of youth elixir.



Scarlet:  Hi clone Ruby Broke who hasn't already had a child and is eligible as a future spouse.  So I briefly got a job as a stylist.  How about I give you a makeover?
CloneRuby:  Okay!



CloneRuby:  I look excellent!
Pippin:  Yes you do.
CloneRuby:  What was that sound?
Scarlet:  Some magic creeper in the sky.



Pippin:  Welcome to the storyline, CloneRuby.
Scarlet:  So, can I go get married and stuff now?
Stylist Guy:  I'm single!
Scarlet:  Uh, no.  Hop on your bike and pedal on out of here, gramps.
Pippin:  Off to see Jarod?
Scarlet:  Nope.



Pippin:  Seneca Lobos.  Son of Anita Lobos and Melvin.  Jarod's nephew...and half-brother...



Scarlet:  So, Seneca, I think we should get married, but I'm going to go on our honeymoon first.
Seneca:  Umm, shouldn't we both go on our honeymoon?
Scarlet:  No, silly boy, because math.
Pippin:  That's my girl!



Scarlet:  Hi, honey.  I'm in China.  I just bought some stuff.  Think I'll come home now.
Seneca:  Umm, you just left today...?
Pippin:  That's my girl!



Scarlet:  So, how about you invite me into your heart, your life, and most importantly, your home?
Seneca:  I'm so giddy!
Scarlet:  Of course you are.  I even brought some old creeper to act as our witness.



Seneca:  Wow, you think of everything!
Scarlet:  I really do.
Pippin:  And so, Scarlet moves in with Seneca as well as Anita and Jarod...which isn't awkward at all.



Pippin:  Anita doesn't show up in Seneca's relationship panel, so I'm not sure if the 2nd heir will register as being related to the Lobos family.  Oh, and the house kept catching on fire.
Scarlet:  I blame Jarod.  He needs to move out.
Pippin:  He has something to do first.





Pippin:  Okay.  Now he can leave...and I think this baby won't register as related to our heir, so that might be helpful.
Scarlet:  Hey, I already made NeatNoseLambieJammies a werewolf so my son could marry her!
Pippin:  Back up plans are a good thing.  Speaking of your son...



Scarlet:  Yeah, I'm pregnant and therefore less stylish.
Seneca:  I think you look great!
Scarlet:  You are a sick and twisted little man.
Pippin:  And speaking of little men...



Scarlet:  Yes!  Blue blanket!  Someone forgot to have me eat apples...
Pippin:  I was distracted!  This coffee can't very well drink itself!
Scarlet:  Whatever, Pippin.  Say hello to baby Deacon.
Pippin:  Hello.



Pippin:  And this is not Deacon.  This strange little boy is the manifestation of Scarlet's imaginary friend who is actually still in her inventory and just appeared as a human child with a strange light over his head while everyone was sleeping.  He just showed up that one night.  Out of nowhere.
Scarlet:  Were you scared?
Pippin:  I cried a bit.  But anyway, young Deacon did eventually become an older Deacon.



Scarlet:  I find it interesting that you have almost no pictures of my husband.
Pippin:  He's really not that interesting.



Pippin:  Look, he has your hair!
Scarlet:  Jerk.
