The Frohman Dynasty. Final Chapter: Immortality Explained [FAILED]

[VampirePlasma]

Don't you mean Simerica instead of America?  LOL.

[MoonsAreBlue]

Nice update. I really like how you built the band stage in Stoney Falls, with the background and all.

[Orange Iguana]

We begin our chapter with Ethan's birthday party at long last! It was about time Ethan finished his teen years as now he'll finally be allowed to paint. Ethan has one extra thing planned though as soon as he aged up. He invited Maricela, his girlfriend,  as a party guest.


Ethan: I wish that for one day, my dad never told a lie.
David: Ethan no! Remember what happened to Matthew Hamming in Fibber, Fibber when that happened?
Ethan: Oh yeah... I wish I could enjoy painting for eternity.


Ethan: This is an awkward outfit.

The dresser and mirror makeover can wait. Ethan needs to make his move right now, after all, Frohmen don't waste any time with romance.


Ethan: You know, the dress code was casual attire.
Maricela: I thought I'd dress in something you'd like.


Ethan: Marry me.
Maricela: Are you sure? I have commitment issues you know.
Ethan: Totally serious, I'll teach you how to get rid of them.
Maricela: Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Ethan: Why don't we get married right now?
Maricela: Because then it wouldn't be a private wedding.
Ethan: I have to wait for all these guests to leave? Come on.


David: Now that you're a young adult, there's just one more thing I need you to do before you're unbanned from painting.
Ethan: What's that?
David: Get a job. Your mother is an architect and they get paid to improve their painting skills.
Ethan: I don't know, clients tend to be pretty picky about their renovations.
David: There's this one guy who became a dictator of design without finding a single customer. All you gotta do is draw all day.
Ethan: This will knock my career goal out of the way?
David: It should.
Maricela: Wait, how do you plan on supporting a family if you don't intend to find a single customer?
Ethan: I can make at least $40,000 a day playing guitar in the subway system I built.


Since Ethan cannot marry Maricela during a house party, he decided he may as well visit the dresser and mirror.



And now, it's time to get a little serious... you see, if Ethan is going to get married, his room is going to need a little renovation. He mainly needs a double bed but he loved the bedspread he had before. The Frohmens decided to have a little funeral for the hotrod flame bedspread.


David: We are here to say goodbye to our dearly departed hotrod flame bedspread. It's passing by old age from the owner was unfortunate but life goes on. Is there anything you would like to say, Ethan?
Ethan: I'm going to miss sleeping in those hotrod flames. They looked so cool when I was a child and a teenager but... I've become an adult, I need a double bed now that I'm getting married. Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye.
Party guests: What's going on out here?
David: Funeral for the hotrod flame bedspread.
Agnes: You got me out of bed for this?
Ethan: We're a family, mom.
Bebe: How are we getting this to the junkyard?
David: We don't. We just sell it and...


David: Boom, it's gone.


After the funeral, it was 12 AM so marrying Maricela would have to wait until the next day. In the meantime, Ethan joined the Architectural Designer profession and started doodl--I MEAN researching.


When it was sunrise, now would have been the perfect time to marry Maricela but unfortunately, it was graduation day so once again, it had to wait. Hey, at least Ethan won the "Most Likely to Destroy Another Sim's House" award! Agnes isn't sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. That's not to say Ethan won't be getting married at all that day, it'll just come later.


Like immediately after graduation later

Ethan: One second, I have to put my phone on silent. I do.
Maricela: I do.
Ethan: We are now... will you two STOP pillow fighting? We're trying to have a wedding here.
Maricela: Actually, I have a confession, Ethan. My lifetime wish is to be a Gold Digger.
Ethan: I can safely say that is not happening.



A quick trip to the mirror and dresser in Ethan's new room and we have the new Maricela Frohman.

Aww… you're not going to fulfill her LTW? It's not like it's going to end your dynasty lol.

Haha funny as usual. I've been reading this, even if I haven't always been commenting.

[loveSims]

Great update, the funeral was very funny lol!

[Orange Iguana]

Aww… you're not going to fulfill her LTW? It's not like it's going to end your dynasty lol.

Looks like she's going to be yet another non-immortal who wants to live in the lap of luxury.

[Sportsfan]

Looks like she's going to be yet another non-immortal who wants to live in the lap of luxury.

Haha yup. That's pretty much the best LTW for spares and spouses.

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Ethan got a job drawing things while never actually renovating a house and married someone that was only interested in his money. Normally it's the person interested in the money trying to marry and not the other way around.


We begin our chapter with Ethan, once again, wasting no time with romance and going straight for the baby.


It must have worked because Maricela suddenly felt sick.
Maricela: No no no, this is bad, I can't enjoy his wealth if I have to take care of a baby. Why did I agree to *vomit noises*


And then, while Maricela decided to sculpt something for absolutely no reason whatsoever, it happened.
Maricela: Uh-oh


May as well announce it to Ethan, huh?

Maricela: I'm pregnant
Ethan: That's great! Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?
David: You're quick, I waited until Bebe could make nevermelting ice sculptures before having you.
Ethan: If you already had access to nevermelting ice sculptures, would you have had me on day one of the marraige too?
David: Good point.


Ethan: So I was thinking, you should eat a lot of apples so that I can have a beautiful baby boy
Maricela: (Shouldn't he be drawing?)
Ethan: Or maybe watermelons for a girl... no, no, I definitely want a boy. My sim wishes say so, what do you think?
Maricela: (Or renovating houses?)
Ethan: We'll call him Isaac, or maybe Keith, as long as we don't call him Gordon.


Unfortunately for Agnes, she won't get to witness the birth of her grandchild, whatever gender it may be.


Grim: It's too cramped to do this in your bedroom.
Agnes: Oh please get me away from this family. My husband only married me to sell my car, he forced me to sculpt, paint, and photograph him whenever he aged up, he ruined my plans of getting revenge through my child.
Grim: They have been dealt with.


Ethan: Why are we still crying here when Grim is in our living room?
David: I don't know but let's keep crying anyway.
Maricela: You guys are weird.


Agnes: Woohoo!


David: Only one thing left to do
Ethan: The moodlet manager?


David: Yay! I forgot what I was sad about.


Now the Frohmen aren't totally heartless even though they all just forgot about the death with one blast of the moodlet manager. They did find a way to immortalize her in their own way. Welcome to the "People Who Made This Possible" area of the immortal museum, Agnes.

[Author's Note: Undecided if I want to make the third gen a boy, a girl, or not eat fruit and let the game decide.]

[loveSims]

Agnes death was so funny Amazing update!

[Deme]

I generally follow my Sim's wishes if they have them and they don't contradict.... But isn't the gender already decided, since she's in maternity clothes? Or is that information not wholly accurate?

Anyway, I just hope the nooboo's cute!

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Agnes died and everybody stopped caring with just one blast of the moodlet manager Bebe purchased.


We begin this chapter with Ethan still excited about the baby on the way.
Ethan: I just felt a kick. I really hope it's a boy.
Maricela: Would you be offended if I said I didn't care what gender this baby was?
Ethan: If that's the case, can I interest you in some apples?
Maricela: No thanks.
Ethan: Are you sure? I hear that if pregnant women eat apples, their baby becomes a boy.
Maricela: I'm sure.


Maricela: Actually there's something I need to bring up. We don't really have enough room in this house for another baby.
Ethan: We can just convert the nursery into the child's bedroom when he grows up.
Maricela: And if you decide to have another baby?


Maricela: We can't use your room.


Maricela: We can't use your dad's room.


Maricela: You would have converted the nursery into a children's bedroom.


Maricela: I'm sure you need this study.


Maricela: And Bebe is using this room. We're not going to have enough room for a second child if you want one.
Ethan: We'll worry about that later.


David: I like steak, is that what you two were talking about?
Maricela: I'm worried that we won't have enough room in this house for a second baby if Ethan wants one.
David: Is that so? Come with me outside, Ethan.


David: Let me just go to the bathroom first and--
Maricela: Ohhhhh... it's coming...
David: Uh-oh


Say hello to the third generation Frohman, Isaac.
Meilin Chang: (Woman go home immediately after pregnancy? That not how we do things in China.)

[Author's Note: As with Ethan, I let the game decide the gender for me on this one.]


Ethan: I'm back from the hospital, what did you want to talk about?
David: It isn't just you and me that's going to be immortal. There's 6 more immortals that's going to be living in the house eventually.
Ethan: So we really do need to make more room in this house.
David: Precisely.
Ethan: Well that's easy, I'll just add a second floor since the foyer is so open.


Ethan: There, instant second floor.


Ethan: Remember when we got married and I told you that I would get rid of your commitment issues?
Maricela: Yeah.
Ethan: Time to get rid of them. Repeat after me, I'm so happy...
Maricela: I'm so happy...
Ethan: That I no longer want to be a gold digger.
Maricela: Wait, I thought we were talking about commitment issues first
Ethan: You'll see, now repeat what I said.
Maricela: I'm so happy, I no longer want to be a gold digger.
Ethan: I want to live in the lap of luxury.
Maricela: I want to live in the lap of luxury.
Ethan: You already are.
Maricela: Hey, I just completed my lifetime wish.
Ethan: Now repeat after me. I'm so happy, I no longer want to have commitment issues.
Maricela: I'm so happy, I no longer want to have commitment issues.
Ethan: Now describe what you want to be.
Maricela: I want to be a nurturing, lucky, genius who is both a natural cook and a savvy sculptor.
Ethan: Good choices.
Maricela: I'm also so happy that I want to have a steel bladder.

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Ethan had renovated the house to make room for more immortals. Oh, and the third generation was born but that's not important right now.

Wait... it is important? What do you mean it's his birthday already?


Oh... well I guess yeah, yes it is Isaac's birthday. Good thing Ethan threw a party. Isaac's a true Frohman, only the family members care about the birthday.



A quick trip to the dresser and mirror and here is this... well, they keep calling him a "nooboo." For a genius, he sure is awkward. I mean, pink is his favorite color.


Suddenly, little Isaac pulled out a rather familiar looking doll.
David: Oh no, not you too...


David: No imaginary friends means no eating life fruit for them.


Now that the party's over, they can focus on teaching the little toddler the basics of life. Walking, talking, making sure he stands up when peeing because he's a boy.
Ethan: Triangle, can you say that?
Isaac: Triangles come in 3 different forms. Equilateral, isoceles, and the scalene triangle.
Ethan: Well you clearly don't need to be taught how to talk. You already know how to potty and walk?
Isaac: It's "do you know how to walk and use the potty?" To answer that, yes, it's easy once you figure out that you have to peel the tapes off to remove the diaper.


It's because of the fact that Isaac figured everything out on his own that we have now reached another downtime session. How long is it this time you may ask? Until Isaac goes from toddler all the way to young adult. There's quite literally nothing for the Frohmen to do until then so in the next chapter, we will fast forward to Isaac becoming a young adult.


David: Whoa, whoa, wait. Stop. No, I am not allowing this. Look, forgive me for breaking the fourth wall here, but you can't just begin chapter 21 with Isaac as a young adult. You need to come up with some filler chapters to entertain the audience while you patiently wait 25 sim days.

Alright alright, jeez...

[imaGleek]

Nice dynasty, how do you pronounce Maricela, do you say Mar-sell-a?

[Orange Iguana]

I honestly have no clue how you pronounce that name.

Mare-ee-sell-ah or mare-ee-kel-ah would be my guess.

[ratchie]

What is Issac's supermax skill going to be? I am really enjoying this different approach to the immortal dynasty. I really look forward to reading it.
