The CrumpleSteel DecaDynasty: COMPLETED 11/11/13

[ArianaJade]

Emily And Georgia

Sam's not doing very much that's interesting right now. He's mostly working on his career, which involves a lot of maintaining fire engines and skilling athletics. He's on track for opportunities, has bought his property and building and has supermaxed handiness (with some help from Emily breaking stuff). Agnes has nearly completed his collection, and she's also on track to die any day now and give us a tombstone.

Sam: I'll have you know that everything I do is interesting.

But this episode is going to focus on Emily and Georgia.

Sam: Hey! I'm the star!

Chris: No! I'm the star round here, but I haven't even been mentioned yet this chapter!

Alright, you two. Chris is building up friendships with NPCs, working at his job in science, and learning new recipes off the TV.



Georgia set off to join the music career. Her LTW is Master of the Arts, and so it seemed like a good fit.



Emily tried to go and join the Law Enforcement career, but got a little distracted. This is Harvey Salas.

Emily: Ooooh. Hello!



Emily: You're so cuddly. And lovely. And... awww... You're like a teddy bear. And everyone loves teddy bears. I want to cuddle you forever and ever and ever.



Harvey: I'm not sure what to say to that, so come here...

Awww, young love.



And we go from young love in the park to young love in the... kitchen?

Georgia: I think you have something on your lips.

Toby: Do I?

Georgia: Yeah. Me.



Emily: I can't wait to get out of this house. Let me live with you away from the technology. I love you. Will you do me the very great honour of being my husband.

Harvey: Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!



The happy couple chose a wedding party at home.



Harvey: And with this ring, I do wed.

Emily: *thinks* Don't pull sappy face, don't pull sappy face...

Georgia: Haha! I have it on camera!



Emily: I love you, Harvey CrumpleSteel.

Harvey: Love you too, Emily CrumpleSteel. Now come here!

Audience: Awwww.

Agnes: I think I'm going to cry.

Georgia: I think I'm going to be sick.



Chris: Why, yes, Mr Paparazzi, you can photgraph me. Just make sure you get the right angle, my left profile is definitely better.



Georgia: Whose clothes even are all these? They're rubbish. Bet they're Emily's.

Emily and Harvey spent the night at the CrumpleSteel residence and left the next morning, hopefully with a child on the way. I wanted both girls to be able to have children but also limit the numbers of people in the household to a maximum of five. This update is short I know, but the next one is going to be rather a lot longer and more exciting!

@alex: I've seen their child as a toddler already, but I won't let on any more than that!

@ratchie: I told him that, and he appeared a little offended. I don't think you can win with Sam. (Sam: I am offended. Look at this awesome specimen of Simkind, and tell me who wouldn't?)

@lovesims: Thornton and Grim started up a little conversation between Claire's death and the Grim taking any notice, and it was just too funny to ignore. I did miss the whole of Sam aging up because I was distracted, though.

Heir 1 - Complete



Erm, Chris? Why are you standing in a bush?

Chris: Spying.

On who?

Chris: Emily.



Emily: You know, you could just come around the other side of the bush and talk to me. I am your daughter, afterall. And this is your first grandchild, Corrie.

Yessss. Making you try for baby works. Although it's only actually been two days since you moved out.

Emily: Don't ask me. I was hardly going to ask her to stay in for another day, was I?



Georgia: Ahhhhhhhhh!

Have you eaten some of that dodgy stu surprise that I keep telling your father to clear away?

Georgia: No! What do sims pull this face for?

Erm...



Georgia: Nooboos, you stupid watcher!

Christopher: I'm not old enough to be a grandfather!

Georgia: Her name is Louisa.



Meanwhile, Sam is improving his athletics skill... erm, Sam is having holding breath contests with Geoffrey Landgraab.

Sam: My athletic bar is increasing, therefore I'm still doing what you told me to.

Fair point.



Isn't this more effective though?

Sam: And more boring. Spoilsport.

*camera pans to house*

It's not anyone's birthday, is it?



AGNES! NO!

Agnes: It's okay. Tell my family I love them all, and try to talk Chris through using the washing machine. I tried.

It's not your time yet, it can't be!

Agnes: I'm 94. It's about time.

RIP Agnes. A dynasty spouse many times over, now getting to begin one herself.



Georgia: I can't believe you took my mother.

Grim: I can show you her tombstone if that will help.

Georgia: Watcher, seriously. Make him stop.



As if to prove to all of us that the show must go on, Louisa aged up to toddler straight after Agnes' death.

Louisa: Please. I need a hat. Get me a hat!



She looks a lot like Georgia, with the famous Steel lips.

Chris: Ooh yeah, baby. The lips are here to stay!



Chris: So now we're going to learn to talk.

Louisa: I don't want to, I want to play with my doll.

Chris: See, you're halfway there already.



Sam: This is the fourth time I've been to the Goth household this week. Seriously. And every time they say they'll stop playing with fire.

Just be glad, because you're only a tiny bit of experience off a promotion.

Sam: I'm not really sure that you're supposed to want more disasters to occur just for job performance.

You're probably right, but you're only three days off Adult. Don't you want to marry Naomi?

Sam: I'll see if I can knock a few more candles over as I leave.



Louisa: Seriously, you people need to stop ignoring me when I'm having birthdays.

Sorry. I'll give you a makeover and a sister to make up for it?

Louisa: Deal.



First, the makeover.



Then, the sister.

Jaime: Hello, new Mum.

Georgia: Hello, new child. We only really adopted you because I wanted the social worker to be our last NPC friend.

Jaime: That's cool. To make up for my unlovedness, ms voice-in-the-sky, can I have a makeover too?



Sam: Ahhhh! Sparkles attacking, must get fire extingusher to combat!

It's your adult birthday, silly.

Sam: Does this mean I get to marry Naomi now?

Tomorrow, yes!

Sam: Best birthday ever.

Next time, the wedding and the move.

Oh, and this is Corrie CrumpleSteel, Emily and Harvey's daughter. They look like they have another on the way, too.

Yay Sam! I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful. R.I.P Agnes. 

[ArianaJade]

New Life



Firstly, here's a shot of Sam with his collection. Or three parts of it, anyway.

Sam: Can I get married yet?

Patience.



And yes, now the wedding. Naomi arrives, looking gorgeous as ever. I was so excited when she arrived at Emily's wedding wearing an actual wedding dress. I knew saving all those custom recolours of dresses was a great idea.

Naomi: What else was I going to wear? Shorts and a t-shirt?

You'd be surprised what I've seen you sims marry in.



As in love as ever, they exchange their vows.



And a kiss to seal the deal, before moving to their new home.



Naomi: Oh!

Oh no. You can't be aging to elder. You can't.

Naomi: No, don't worry, adult.

How were you still YA? You would have been born the day before Sam! But anyway, never mind, panic over.

The first thing to do is a quick house remodel. I'm going to try and do each house in a different style to what I'm used to. Naomi and Sam's is going to be very simple with lots of block colour.

Sam: That's not the first thing I wanted to do, can I just say, but the watcher won't let me...

I'm getting you a nicer bed for it first, so shut it.



Living/dining room.



Master bedroom.



Upstairs hallway, converted into a home office.



Okay, now you can make good use of that new bed.



The next day...

Naomi: Baby!



Sam: Wait, I'm going to be a daddy?

Naomi: If you hadn't worked it out by the time I was this size, you were never going to. Sometimes I wonder why I'm married to you.

Sam: Hey. Cut me some slack. At least I didn't suggest you took an exercise class!

Naomi: I'm not even sure I should dignify that with a response.



Where are you off to?

Naomi: Jamie Jolina's swimsuit party.

You're going to give birth any time now, and you're going to a swimsuit party?! What if you go into labour in the pool?

Naomi: Relax. There isn't even a pool at Jamie's place. And besides, I only want to ask her what I'm having.

Which only begs the question why do Sims have swimsuit parties when they don't have a pool?

Sam: Wait, we're not having a baby? Are we having a dinosaur?!

I really thought you'd lost that dinosaur obsession. And maybe you should have paid more attention in school, too.



Jamie: Congratulations. You are in fact having a baby.

Naomi: Why is everyone except me mad?



Naomi: Ahhhhhh! It's coming.

At least you got home.



Sam: Ahhhhhh! Dinosaurs are huge! It's going to take up our whole bedroom!

Naomi: I really should have had dinner.



Sam insisted they went to the hospital for the birth, as he was scared that the dinosaur was going to squash his house. May I present to you Abigail CrumpleSteel, the second heir and very much NOT a dinosaur.

Sam: Not fair.

Heir 2 - Abigail CrumpleSteel
Born: Day 4 of new house, to Sam and Naomi CrumpleSteel

[ratchie]

Hello Abigail. You are so much cuter then a dinosaur.

Rachel

[alex51299]

Welcome Abigail! I can't wait to see who she looks like.

[ArianaJade]

Terrible Twos



Naomi's been having a mid-life crisis. First she wanted to cut her hair. I'm not convinced by it. And neither was she, because soon after she grew it out again.



Then she got a tattoo.

Naomi: That's a very large needle. Are you sure it has to be quite that big?



She also got a motorbike, but she's yet to ride it because Sam won't stop stealing it.

Sam: I heard you cursing through the screen at the slowness of my firetruck. So I did something about it. I give up.

Okay, you have a point.



But, back to the star of the story these days.

Sam: I'm still the star. Just because I'm no longer the active heir. Who decides these rules anyway? I should always be the active heir. I'm the best.

Yes dear. It's Abbie's toddler birthday though, and I'm a little bit concerned by how you're holding her. Do you think you could stop being self-centred for a little while and instead concentrate on not squashing your daughter?

Abbie: Can't...breathe...call...social worker....



Abbie manages to extract herself from Sam's armpit in order to age up. And we have... a ginger!



Makeover time. First order is to get the poor girl some hair. Secondly, a new wardrobe.



Abbie: How dare you feed me this disgusting mess. When I grow up and can cook for myself, I'll get my revenge!

Oh dear. Looks like we have a mini-foodie on our hands. That's a look of death if ever I saw one.



Abbie: Instead of you teaching me to talk, how about I teach you the recipe for some nice baby food?

Naomi: I've not even taught you to say bottle yet.

Abbie: Steak, medium-rare.



Abbie: I might be better at this walking thing if you didn't have your hand squashing my head down.



Naomi: And then Goldilocks tried Mrs Bear's porridge, but it was too sweet. And then Goldilocks tried baby bears porridge and it was just right!

Abbie: Heehee. Knew babies had the best food taste. Again, again!

Awww, you're so cute.



As you may have noticed from the last picture, Naomi is pregnant again. But not for much longer.

Naomi: Sam! Sam! The baby's coming!



Sam: No, the baby's over here. I'm teaching her to potty like you asked me to.

Abbie: Dad, I think she means the other baby. The one she's giving birth to in your room.

Sam: OMG! You're having another one?!

Abbie: I'm assuming he's saying all this because he wants it to be a surprise for me.

No, Abbie darling, I think he's saying it because he geniunely believes it.



Naomi: She's here. Meet baby Claire.

Awwwww.

Sam: Why didn't you tell me you were having a baby?

[alex51299]

Aww, named after her grandma! Abbie is very sassy. 

[loveSims]

Sam is so clueless lol! I love the update. Congrats with the nooboo.

[ArianaJade]

Sam is so clueless lol! I love the update. Congrats with the nooboo.

He's not the brightest bulb in the packet, is he? But he's well meaning.

Aww, named after her grandma! Abbie is very sassy. 

I quite like Claire Ursine as a sim, and it just seemed fitting. Abbie's a bit of a character in my game too, she's constantly sneaking off to go and do things she shouldn't be.

[ArianaJade]

Double Birthday



It's time for a double birthday in the CrumpleSteel household. Abbie is becoming a child, and Claire is becoming a toddler.

Abbie: Daddy, it's my birthday!

Sam: (to Abbie) Are you excited? (to self) Birthday?! What?!

We tried to hold a party for the two birthdays, but thanks to both kids glitching out for the duration of it, they aged up once everyone had gone home and poor Naomi got a bad party moodlet.



Claire had her birthday first.

Naomi: I think she got stage-fright at the party. Either that or she's going to be stubborn.



Claire: Get me some hair! Quick! I can't go out looking like an egg!



Better? Your favourite colour is spice brown, and that's actually really hard to work with on a toddler.

Claire: Much.

Then it was Abbie's turn to have her cake.



Abbie: *blows* Yay, candles!

Naomi: I think I'm going to fall over sideways. Really, I have to be leaning more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Sam: Where's that?

Abbie: In Pisa.



Abbie: Yay! Sparkles!



And here she is post-makeover. Abbie's favourite colour is white. She's got her mum's hair and her dad's eyes, and it's looking like her mum's face shape too.

I'm not sure I've given you their traits yet. Abbie is Excitable and Friendly, and added Good at this birthday. Claire is Friendly and Easily Impressed.



And from this picture, you might be able to guess what her supermax is going to be.

Abbie: I told them that as soon as I was old enough I'd be making some better food. And who doesn't love cake?

Sam: Cake? Did somebody say cake?



Claire: Om nom nom. I don't see what the problem is with this food. It's great!



Claire: Now, if you just keep pulling me, I'm sure walking will be easy. I don't think I even need to learn!

Naomi: Until you become a teenager and you need a crane to hold you up. You're practically pulling my arms out their sockets already.



Sam: Seriously? I put out fires in your garage, I put out fires in your windows, I bash down three doors, and when I come to save you you die of old age? There's gratitude for you.

Ghostie: You were a long time coming.



Naomi: What do you want to do when you grow up, Clairey-Bear?

Claire: Parties. I want to have parties.

Naomi: I think I may be raising a mini Paris Hilton here.

Keep her away from the juice bar, and we should be fine.

Claire: Shoes! Like shoes!



First day at school?

Abbie: Is it scary?

Sam: Yes. There are monsters in the toilets, and Mrs Reynolds the science teacher is a VAMPIRE.

Abbie: Cool!

Sam: I'm sure I was easier to scare as a child.



Sam: Why do I always get stuck with potty training?

Claire: Because you love me, Daddy!

Aww.

I love that you named baby Claire after her grandmother. It looks like Abbi has a mind of her own and I am guessing her supermax will be cooking.

Bake Sales and Birthday Parties



Abbie: Why is nobody at my bake sale?

Because it's 6.30am. Give them time.

Abbie: But you're a big voice in the sky! You can fly over to their houses and get them out of bed and make them come to my bake sale!

If I could reliably summon townies to places, my life would be so much easier. Sorry kiddo.

Abbie: What's the use of being a voice in the sky if you can't make people do what you want?



Luckily, at that point, a customer arrives.

Abbie: Yay! You did it!

Ethan Bunch: Hello, how much is that dinosaur?

Abbie: Sorry, it's not for sale.

Ethan: Oh, is he your favourite toy?

Abbie: No, he's my daddy's favourite toy.

Ethan: Oh. Right. I'll have a chocolate brownie then, I guess.

Sam: Danny Dino? Where have you gone?



Abbie has a friend from school over. Even if he did age up in the 2 sim minutes between being invited and turning up. Is he a potential spouse?



Probably not. I don't know what trait caused him to do this, but it can't be a good one.



Sam: Do you have to grow up tomorrow? Can't you just stay my little girl forever?

Abbie: Laws of time and space probably say I can't. And I know Claire isn't nearly as cute as me, but at least you'll have her.

Sam: Hug?

Claire: Oi.



Yep, it's time for another birthday party with all the extended family in attendance. First up is Abbie aging to teen, but we've got a quick family tour first. Yes, that is Chris standing next to Sam. I gave him a Young Again potion just before Sam moved out, so he'll be around for a while yet hopefully.



Here's Georgia.



Louisa, Georgia's daughter and so Abbie's cousin.



Jaime, Georgia's adopted daughter.



Corrie, Emily's daughter and another cousin of Abbie's.



Maura, Emily's other daughter.



And here's Emily talking to Claire and Naomi.

Emily: Who's a cute little girl then, who?

Claire: I don't like you.

Naomi: Because this isn't awkward.



Make a wish, Abbie dear.

Abbie: I wish that...

Shh, if you tell everyone, it won't come true.

Abbie: Oh, so if I tell you I wished for a unicorn then I won't get one?

Well, you wouldn't have got one of those anyway, because until I get a new graphics card pets will be deformed.

Abbie: In that case I get a second wish.



Abbie: Ta-da! I'm a natural cook!

Well done, you've successfully entered the teenage years.

Abbie: If you don't get me out of these clothes soon I'm going to be a social outcast.

Mirror, then.





Abbie: Yay!



And before anyone has chance to grab a slice of cake, it's onto our second birthday for the night. Little Claire is going to become not-so-little Claire.



Claire: I'm going to blow my candles out all by myself.

Naomi: You'll be here all week, then.



Oh, no. Are we going to have an insane child on our hands? That's a face only an insane child could pull.



Or one who's aging up.



Claire becomes a party animal. It's going to be her job to get and keep most of the friends for Abbie's moving requirements.

Claire: This hat. It's horrible. I can't believe Mum dressed me in this!

To the dresser!

[loveSims]

The picture of Claire growing up is priceless lol! Great update.
