Welcome to the Timeless Short Dynasty, generation two! Now, I have played through a large chunk of this generation and you guys have no idea, NO IDEA what's in store. This generation is one big "wait, THAT can happen?" It was for me at least. So as this is a new generation, we got some extra information to get out of the way!
First, I created a family tree that can be found
here. I also finally created a post with the current score that can be found
here. The way I sort the points is all points collected by members before an heir or heiress reaches the age of young adult go under that previous generation. This includes any points the spares have contributed. All portraits and sculptures of family members are added on separately underneath the current generation. While editing photos for Hera's generation, I noticed that I wrote that Spydon has the Master Romancer lifetime wish instead of the Zombie Master lifetime wish. This is wrong and I went back and fixed it. He hasn't completed the lifetime wish yet, but when he does, it will go count for
Hera's generation. Alright, time to get this ball rolling!
I just want to remind you all what Hera's
wonderful traits are and the lifetime wish she has, so I whipped this up in Gimp real quick.
This picture took a little, LITTLE longer. I'm super proud of it though I do want to clarify I didn't create the smoke effect. I used a brush specially made for it.
Here's the other picture I made for Hera's generation because I was having too much fun in Gimp.
Alright, time to pick up where we left off!
It wasn't just Hera's birthday, but the twin's too!
Arius aged up first even though he wasn't born first which will forever confuse me.
He gained the socially-awkward trait to add to genius, couch potato, and artistic. I added red streaks to his hair because it's his favorite color. The hairstyle he has shows it a lot.
Arius may not be an Aries clone? He may have Spydon's face shape but I can't really tell. I want to say yes.
Ace aged up with the bot-fan trait to add to brave, virtuoso, and perceptive. There is no doubt in my mind that he is completely an Aries clone.
Spydon made this absolutely gorgeous painting I have never seen before. I love it.
Keep on painting! Time is of the essence!
"It's almost like it's a Short Dynasty, Watcher."
Glad to see you haven't lost your sass in your old age, Spydon.
Hera is working on reaching level three of the spell-casting spell so that can she duel with Spydon nonstop. They are both going to duel with each other until they reach level ten and then cause general havoc to my poor save as they bring twenty sims back to life. It's as messy as it sounds in theory, trust me.
Arius got a small break from painting to go and meet potential spouses for Hera. Yay!
"Yay. I'm so excited."
This one stood out to me. Usually my sims gravitate towards certain others in game and their spouse falls into my lap but NOT IN THIS CASE. Hera's stellar personality is not sim-friendly. Still, an effort must be made.
Speaking of Hera, she finally reached level three of the spell-casting skill and the dueling began!
"DAD THAT'S NOT FAIR."
"Magic isn't fair, Hera. One day you're turning someone into a toad and the next you're accidentally burning your house down."
"That sounds like a BLAST either way."
"My child...did you just a make a pun?"
It was at that moment Spydon was the proudest he'll ever be of Hera.
Ever.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end because everyone had to attend Hera's graduation.
"I'm too young to be your mother, Hera!"
"Are you disowning me then?"
"I'm disowning your age."
"............."
"................."
"What?"
When the insane sim questions something, you know that means it's madness.
Awwww, Hera's classmates know her so well!
"They're just offended because I threw a party and didn't invite anyone but myself. Losers."
I have no idea why Spydon and Arius are laughing at this poor guy. He looks so sad.
Whatever they have against them, this guy has a CARDINAL.
A CARDINAL.
I didn't even know Cardinals were in the Sims 3?
I had Hera rush over to meet him and no hearts sadly. I still had her give it a shot though because...that bird. I need that bird in my life.
"So do you have any redeeming qualities about yourself except having a bird my Watcher wants? No? Okay then."
"I don't even know you...?"
"I'm not marrying you for your bird!"
"Are you insane?"
"Yes."
So I guess that's that and bird guy and his cardinal will not be joining the household.
Thankfully, Hera met another guy! He's pretty cute.
"NO."
Hera, why?
"You'll see. You'll ALL see."
I had them talk and...their traits are exact opposites. Hera started insulting him automatically and rolled wishes to continue to do so.
This led to them being attracted to each other, naturally.
"Let's be friends. I'll visit your house and...when you're not looking, cast a little spell!"
"What?"
"Fire blast, fool."
Hera, no. You are NOT murdering this man.
"Hera, yes."
"Who are you talking to?"
So Hera quite literally rolled a wish to go to his house after rolling several wishes to be mean to him like I mentioned. As I want this short dynasty to be (slightly) sane, this guy will not be joining the household.
On that note, the first chapter of generation two comes to an end! Bye guys!
