Generation 2, Part I: Let’s Get Ready to Rrrrumble!
Poor Chastity… if her moods were bottomed out, then her aspiration was near that point. I tried to have Star cheer it up, but it did little good. It wasn’t until I could finally train her on the obstacle course Star brought home that things looked up a bit. Chastity actually started getting aspiration points again! She didn’t see platinum, but it was enough to keep her from crying and acting crazy like Holly does.
With the way the screenshot is set up… it almost looks like Star is assuring her mother that there will be a purple baby to carry on the torch. Poor Hector… at least your mummy Brooke loves you. (Mostly because she can’t have any illicit affairs on her own!)
Brooke developed a habit of passing out in random places. She actually spent an entire day with her face in her bowl. She even missed her son’s birthday! The rest of the family didn’t really seem to mind Brooke’s condition… nor did they worry that she’d drown in her chili. I almost thought that she had when she didn’t wake up for so long!
Hector became a very annoying toddler. Instead of playing with toys, he splashed in puddles or clogged the toliets. Grr! At least Star didn’t have to teach him anything cold-turkey. Nightly woohoos ensured platinum aspiration.
With their moods constantly low and their aspirations not much better, the NTHs sure were a grumpy lot. I knew that things would eventually escalate with Holly and Brooke… so I wasn’t surprised when they became enemies. What surprised me was when Holly jumped Brooke and they had it out in the livingroom.
Coming to a livingroom near you… Holly Lex V.S. Brooke Lex is a no-holds-barred underwear match. Winner takes all, the loser suffers endless humiliation! Too bad this was only a taste of things to come. After this fight, which Holly won, they fought on an almost daily basis… with Holly winning the majority and Brooke finally coming out on top during the end.
And, I thought things were bad when my Sims just shoved and slapped each other all day. My Sims never got into an all out brawl! I fixed the bed problem by selling the double bed and setting up three Trianon bunk beds which everyone sleeps in. They often fight over who relaxes/sleeps where but at least everyone gets a bed! I only bring out the double from the attic when it’s time for some woohoo.
I am really loving this story! It’s definitely very different from how my own challenge went and is way more entertaining.
