5.2 – It’s a Hold Up!

I’m just churning out the few screenshots I have!!

Kristy: Wanna know something fun!? Your creator is old and is gonna die soon.

Roy: :O

FARAMIR I THOUGHT YOU WERE OVER YOUR WOMANISING WAYS.

Oh, I changed Kristy’s hair again because I didn’t really like the first one? It’ll probably change again, knowing me.

However, I’m amazed that she doesn’t have the bookworm trait given how much she likes to read. Go figure, I guess?

Faramir: Who is this dead man?

Pippin: Someone come to remind you to respect your elders.

Faramir: A strange man with a pocketwatch and a gnome hat… Where could he be going?

Sim: I’m going to the bathroom, fuck off.

Uh, why?

Precious: Hello… Faramir.

Faramir: Hello… Precious.

NOPE. GO HOME.

This is basically all Galadriel does now.

Well, except die, apparently.

Galadriel: Here you go!!

Grim: How delightful! You’re free to go.

Galadriel: Oh, would you look at that.

asjfjkasdjhkfajskhf

And of course, Death stuck around for a while.

Kristy: Oh… how lovely?

So, since she’s so determined to beat death, I decide to send her to the consignment store.

It’s the young again potion!

I think not.

Much better!!

Cashier: What did I just witness?

And then it’s time for the other potion!

Galadriel: I’m young again! Young again FOREVER!!

Faramir: You may be physically young again, but mentally you’re still old and slow.

Galadriel: At no point in my life have I been ‘old’ or ‘slow’.

Galadriel: I’m younger than you and better at catch than you!

Tauriel: This is old lady-ist.

One day I’m going to get rid of that stereo. Nobody stops dancing!

Faramir: Could you stop doing that?

Kili: I’m trying to show you how ridiculous you look.

Speaking of looking ridiculous…

Faramir: No one can see me!!

Yes, dear.

Faramir: If I can work out for longer than you, then you’ll have to concede that you’re old and slow, right?

Galadriel: Wow, you’re really insecure about this, right?

So I totally ignored Kristy, and when I went back to her found that she’d just been cooking and eating on a loop. Literally every time she’d finish a plate, she’d just go back and get another one.

I guess she’s bored?

She wasn’t the only one bored, I was getting bored of the lag fest that was Dragon Valley!! Sooo, I packed them up and shipped them off to Hidden Springs!

Which, with how bugged out DV is, had them all running up the mountains with me laughing hysterically the entire time.

Which, naturally, left them all standing on the lawn while I built THIS house!!

I did use a floor plan for this house, but I love the outside so much honestly.

Sorry it’s in build mode, but it was night time when I opened the game to take this. And here’s some scenic shots of the inside of the house!

This is the skilling section!

The kitchen!

I don’t think I can have a TV yet? But yeah, they have to socialise with each other but honestly I love how cute this setup looks.

Technically counting as only one room, here’s the garage!

Then there are three rooms up here, one being the master bedroom and the other being the bathroom.

Master bedroom!

Back garden!

 

5.1 – Scene of the Crime

GUESS WHO FORGOT THIS WHOLE CHALLENGE EXISTED???

Yes, that would be me.

I would give you a recap, but considering that it’s A) been OVER A YEAR since I posted my last chapter and B) we’re about to start a new generation, I don’t think it’s actually necessary.

What I do need to do, though, is re-familiarise myself with the rules. Faramir is the head of the fifth generation (halfway point!!!) and so he can choose from Law Enforcement or Criminal.

I think we decided to go with Criminal (because I think I’d die if I had to give all my sims No Sense of Humour), but to take him down the PI route because I’ve never played that before. I’m also aware that there’s probably a bunch of screenshots missing, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Anyway, onward!!

*

Tauriel: Happy birthday, Faramir!! Have fun with the household!!

Faramir: Who am I, again?

Kristy: Did anyone ever know who I was?

No.

Faramir: Do you know who I am, horse?

Horse: No.

Faramir: Oh.

Faramir graduated! Because I currently have the game open, I can tell you that he won Most Likely to Become a Sports Star.

Faramir: Guess they don’t know me either.

I honestly don’t know what this picture was supposed to display, but I took it so let’s just leave it here.

Faramir: Look at my face, and remember who I am?

Faramir: I’m home from graduating and getting a job!

Tauriel: Who are you, again?

Faramir: Goddamnit.

Faramir: Do you know who I am?

Kristy: Yes, you’re Faramir. Weren’t you my sister’s friend?

Faramir: Probably? Move in with me.

So romantic.

 

Kili: BOOOOOO, get out of my house, tone deaf strangers!!!

That’s your son.

Do I remember what this was supposed to show?

Do I heck.

Hey look, Kristy got a makeover! Her traits are Loner, Natural Cook, Evil, Kleptomaniac, and Friendly. She matches our wonderful Heir perfectly, because his traits are Brave, Genius, Perceptive, Athletic, and Loves the Heat.

I’m not entirely sure why there’s so much cake on the table – did Tauriel and Kili have a joint birthday before this, by any chance?

Tauriel: I can’t believe you forgot me!

You’re old, shut up.

 

 

 

 

Then we have some romantic interactions between Faramir and Kristy, ending with him asking her to be his girlfriend.

Naturally, followed by some woohoo in the treehouse.

Galadriel: I command your attention!!

Why, what have you done?

Galadriel: It’s alive!! My greatest creation!! She lives!!

Galadriel: I shall name you… Roy.

You can’t name your robot after your ex!! That’s not how this works!

Galadriel: This is exactly how this works.

Galadriel: Welcome to Earth, Roy. I am your creator.

Roy: 01010100 01101000 01100001 01101110 01101011 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101.

Galadriel: Here’s a trait chip to celebrate your birth.

Roy: 01001111 01101111 01101111 01101000 00101100 00100000 01001000 01100001 01101110 01100100 01101001 01100010 01101111 01110100!

Tauriel: Dear sweet God in heaven, what is that!?

Roy: 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01101110 01100101 01110111 00100000 01001000 01100001 01101110 01100100 01101001 01100010 01101111 01110100 00101100 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01101110 01100001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01010010 01101111 01111001.

Roy:  Beep boop.

Tauriel: I don’t understand anything, and quite frankly I’m too scared to ask.

Galadriel stays outside while her creation runs wild inside, terrifying everyone.

Kristy: Look at this sand bunny – I’M GONNA DESTROY IT!!

Alright, chill.

Galadriel: Come here, you, I wanna see what happens if I do this.

Roy: 01000101 01010010 01010010 01001111 01010010 00100000 01000101 01010010 01010010 01001111 01010010 00100000 01000101 01010010 01010010 01001111 01010010!!

Galadriel: Whoops.

Faramir goes on his first stakeout!!

Except that he sees absolutely nothing and instead gets spotted by the paps.

*sigh*

This sim is some kind of machine, I tell you.

Kili: Something’s different…

Yes, that would be everything.

I gave the whole house a makeover, to see if it would inspire me to play more.

Spoiler: It didn’t.

I put Faramir & Kristy’s bed up her in some kind of open plan room thing, simply because I thought it looked cool.

It was not functional, dear god.

Kili & Tauriel get to keep their disgustingly canary yellow room.

And Galadriel’s is surprisingly large seeing as there’s only one old lady in it!

4.5 – Home Run

I don’t know what to tell you any more. I’m a ridiculously unreliable poster when it comes to the poor Evans, it’s been yet another four or so months since I last posted… Hailey is writhing in her grave.

Tauriel: Hey Kili, have you heard about my new workout routine?

Kili: I think everyone’s heard your new workout routine, because it’s in half of the papers.

Tauriel: Stop selling my workout secrets, you no good paparazzi!

Pap: Workout secre- Oh, the dancing!

Precious: Hey, where’s Faramir?

Jessie: Yeah, who’s the old lady?

Galadriel: I’m the Grandmaster of Everything, show some respect.

Faramir: Precious, you made it!

Precious: Nice of you to show up for your own party!

Olivia: Hey, what are you doing dancing with the old lady!?

Galadriel: I told you, I’m the Grandmaster. Everyone loves me.

It is a little weird, seeing as Faramir’s girlfriend is now dancing with his Dad.

Christa goes to do her homework and Olivia (ajdsajks that’s my name, stop) decides to dance with Kili instead.

Kili: Yeah, I’ve still got it!

Kili, you’re like 40+ and they’re all teenagers.

Faramir: You’re looking really pretty tonight, Precious.

Precious: Dude.

And now the slumber party has turned into a homework party.

STOP HEARTFARTING!

Hey, where’s Christa going?

FARAMIR WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I hate parties.

Christa: You guys having fun over there!?

Precious: You have a girlfriend!? Get away from me, scum.

Faramir: It’s not what you think! It’s complicated in this house! You have purple hair!

Precious: I don’t know what that has to do with anything, but calm down. I forgive you.

Faramir: Really?

Precious: OF COURSE I FUCKING DON’T.

Faramir: Chill! Go to the spa and relax or something!

Everybody then glitched when going to bed, and ended up all spiralling away from one spot…

Except Christa.

Who decided to sleep next to Faramir’s bed, so he couldn’t get out of it once he’d woken up.

Christa: I must remind him that he belongs to me. I will be the heir’s wife.

Faramir: You know what, this is over!

Christa: What!? Why!?

Faramir: You were sleeping next to my bed like some kind of stalker!

Christa: Well, your party was shit. Have fun living without me!

Faramir: You’re hot.

I can’t leave you alone for five minutes.

Oh hey look, free vacation time! What is this perfect for!?

More parties.

Jessie: So why did you invite Precious, didn’t you guys have a falling out?

Faramir: Yeah, but I’m single now.

So I bought a karaoke machine.

I already hate the sound of it.

But it does make some good faces.

Faramir what the hell?

Precious: Ew, don’t flirt with me after what you did!

And yet she accepts the HOTM kiss.

Olivia: Faramir!!

Faramir: God, can’t I catch a break!?

Olivia: You’re despicable.

Faramir: But you love it.

Guy Who Danced With Galadriel: You’re so boring I’m already asleep.

Get rekt, Faramir.

I guess Faramir is on a mission to kiss everyone. I really should’ve considered the heartbreaker LTW for him, but it’s a little late at this point.

She doesn’t seem to be complaining, though,

So, back to the matter at hand. It’s time to work on fixing the rapidly falling relationship between Faramir and Precious.

First some dancing…

Then some desperate sweet talking.

Faramir: I can change, I swear. Christa wasn’t the one for me, but you are. I’d never be unfaithful to you.

Precious: No, no, keep talking.

Turns out that the guy who danced with Galadriel was romantically involved with somebody else at this party. Everyone seems to be hooking up with each other, and he got betrayed in the process. I have a feeling it was Olivia, but I have no idea.

I think it might have been his betrayal on behalf of Olivia, who is currently betrayed by Faramir as he flirts with Precious.

I hate this stupid womanising sim and the weird EA coding.

Faramir: Alright, what is this?

Precious: We’re plotting revenge against you and your constant betrayals.

Faramir: What the –

Blue Haired Girl: Don’t find you attractive anymore. WOMANISER.

Faramir: God, I’m going to be totally alone forever if I don’t sort this out.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you!

Glitched IF: You’ve got me!

You’re being deleted immediately, go away.

Faramir: Mona, you gotta help me. You’re like, a fountain of good ideas.

Mona: I make bad life choices and this is probably the juice talking, but I got a good option for you. Meet my sister.

Faramir: Hi, I’m Faramir!

Kirsty: I’m Kirsty. Should I know you?

Faramir: You most definitely should not.

Faramir: Let’s play a friendly game of rock, paper, scissors.

Kirsty: Isn’t it good manners to let the lady win!?

Faramir: Where I live it’s every person for themselves.

Faramir: Wanna watch me eat a huge spoonful of cinnamon!?

Kirsty: That sounds… delightful.

Faramir: Still can’t figure out where I went wrong.

Really?

PETS ARE BACK.

This picture probably had some significance once, but it’s been four months so I can’t remember.

Tauriel, is that your limo leaving without you…?

Tauriel: Nope. It’s dropping my famous husband home!

Ah yes, I forgot that you’re all ultra-famous millionaires.

Your famous husband who still loves the sandpit, I see.

Kili: My first love!

Tauriel: I ain’t even mad.

Mona: Eyyy Galadriel! Get out of my hallway, I can’t get through the door.

Galadriel: Sam? What are you doing here?

Sam: Mourning my dead husband, who looks freakishly like one of my heirs. But I loved him!

Faramir: This has been sitting around in my family inventory forever and I thought you’d like it, I mean, I saw this and thought of you!

Kirsty: Oh Faramir, you’re too kind!

Sam: He-y, I know that trick…

Faramir: You feelin’ alright?

Kirsty: I must admit I do feel a bit funny…

Faramir: You look it, too.

Kirsty: How rude.

Galadriel, like most people reading this, has decided to abandon the party in favour of reading a book quietly in their living room.

Mona, however, is starting fights.

I think Mona was one of Faramir’s friends in school, but I don’t ever remember seeing/showing her before. They have a full (or nearly full) friendship bar, however.

I have no idea what’s going on, but Mona looks like she’s about to sneeze.

Faramir: … Mother?

What did Mona give you?

While their teen son was out drinking godknows what, the two responsible adults of the house were playing in the sandpit in the snow.

Because why not?

Faramir: Hey, Kirsty, it’s Faramir.

Kirsty: The guy who tried to make out with my sister, Mona?

Faramir: Uhh… I don’t remember that?

Kirsty: The guy with blue hair, right?

Faramir: Sorry, I gotta go!

FARAMIR.

See Galadriel, looking a little electrocuted?

SHE NEARLY DIED RIGHT THERE. MY HEART STOPPED BEATING FOR A FEW SECONDS, I SWEAR.

However, she’s fine and went on to beat her grandson in a game of chess.

Faramir: I blame the smell. Charred Old Lady isn’t a fragrance that’ll be hitting the stores any time soon.

Tauriel: I’m a barbie girl, in a barbie world!

Where’s Ken?

Turns out Kili was too busy swinging to sing with his wife.

I wonder why?

The Immortal Goddess is starting on another skill; bot building!

Livy: Your singing is like nails on a chalkboard. Please stop.

Time for Kili to get old!

Sam: Now that he’s old it’s even more likely that I, a simself, will go after him!

Damnit.

Kili: Where did my looks go!?

Faramir: Everyone’s old except me!

Yeah, somehow Kirsty aged up before she turned arrived for the party. I could’ve sworn she was younger/the same age, but what do I know?

Double party! Kili and Tauriel became YAs on the same day, so they’re both getting old on the same day.

Relationship goals?

Tauriel: I was not at all ready for this.

At least you got to keep your hair!?

Faramir: Is this cake for me…?

Your love interest is a YA and your parents are Elders. It’s time.

Faramir: But I’m not ready!

Faramir: Fuck it, everyone else has done okay!

There’s always one, buddy boy.

Sparkle time! And now everyone gets to wait to see what Mr Handsome looks like as a YA!

This is it folks, the last post of Generation Four! Next time Faramir takes over, and I’m determined to give the house a makeover at some point.

Also, as you can see Galadriel is still alive. I’m tempted to make her immortal and see how many skills she can max before the end of the challenge, but I’m not sure. I don’t know how many people actually read this one so I might end up making the decision for myself, but I thought I’d ask; what do you think?

As a reference, she is currently 99 though has already used a death flower once. If she died age 90 (she lived forever that time, too) last time, that would make her currently 119. Basically, she’s about 120 years old and her traits are such;

That’s nine maxed, two halfway, one with one point in, and then a bunch of hidden skills. Lyra was incredible, but she lived to 105 and only maxed four skills.

 

4.4 – Dance Party

It’s been two months, but I finally got a chapter out! I’m currently sitting at home feeling very sore after helping to move 70 something hay bales yesterday…

Anyway, I’m too tired to do a recap…. though you probably need it XD

Faramir: Hey, somebody get me some food!

Tauriel: Get your own damn food, lazy bum!

Faramir: Hey, I found me something I can eat.

FARAMIR NO.

Precious: Faramir no.

Her face and colouring is so unique, I’m gutted that they’re related. Though, they don’t show up as related in the relationship panel so according to the game it’s fine… I don’t know.

And the other reason I don’t know is because of this girl. Her name is Christa and she’s totally unrelated to the Evans.

Faramir likes her, but I don’t think she’s nearly as interesting as Precious.

Faramir: *thinking* Okay, now say something clever.

Faramir: You’re pretty.

Faramir: *thinking* Nailed it.

Honestly, I don’t really know what to make of her. I like her, but I’m still super torn about Precious, even though I’m pretty sure she doesn’t even like Faramir XD

But she is his prom date!

Kili: Who the heck are you?

Christa: I’m supposed to be on a date with your son.

Kili: Then go find him, my wife and I have more important things to do.

In my quest to like Christa more, I gave her a hair makeover.

It didn’t really work, but it does look good on her.

Back to the date, they decide to break out some terrible dance moves to Galadriel’s drumming.

Into slow dancing…

Faramir: So you don’t mind if I drop you, right?

Christa: I’m not sure if this is romantic, or terrifying.

Faramir: I still like you, even if you’re about to pee yourself.

Faramir: *thinking* Oh no, what have I done? Do I need to beg for forgiveness? Please don’t kill me, mother.

Tauriel: Hey, wanna learn to drive?

Faramir: Oh thank god.

And off they go!

Faramir: Bonus points for old ladies?

Tauriel: And children.

Faramir’s Plumbob: Look, they both got a load of LTH points and Faramir can drive now!

Here’s another person who just mastered a skill! This takes her total of mastered skills up to NINE.

This Sim. She is a wonder to me, honestly.

Galadriel: Who’s the best? I’M THE BEST!

Faramir: I can’t concentrate with that noise, do you have to do that right now?

Galadriel: Every generation in this family has mastered the athletic skill, I don’t want to be the only one to let the side down and I could die any minute!

Galadriel’s workout zone was then quickly smushed to make way for party time!

Lots of people showed up, including Precious and Christa.

Apparently also a very pregnant Eärwen!

I guess Galadriel didn’t get anything, or more likely, I failed to screenshot whatever it was.

Everyone is still watching the gift giving intensely, but Samali instead decides to dance with this crusty old guy…

It’s basically what happened.

Tauriel escorts her from the house to the hospital by running, but Eärwen can’t run and so is left to walk by herself.

Back at home, things are starting to fall apart without the host there to keep people in check. Instead of staying inside…

Everyone migrates out into the garden and into the sandbox.

Simselves autonomously making friends! Plus some guy who’s ripping off Kili’s great hair.

This is all that happens in the house now.

It’s prom time for Faramir!

And Christa is left standing on the curb for some reason.

Basically, their prom was great.

BUT I’M STILL TORN.

Kili continues to shine in the Culinary department! He’s so cute.

Faramir: Like my bowtie? It’s great but I’m going straight to bed. I didn’t get to beat anyone up at prom, so that was a total bust.

And the next day it’s back to skilling!

These two are still disgustingly in love.

Sam: Do I really need to hold your hand? I’m sure you’ll be okay, really.

Faramir: There are babies in there.

Yes. Yes there are.

I’m afraid to say that I’m not actually sure which child is whose.

These are the two babies in the house, and that’s all I know.

I assume this is my simself’s baby from the last chapter, because she’s the oldest and has my eye colour… but I don’t really know what eye colour the others have XD

Samali talks to Faramir about how great babies are, and Emily… Did she get broken up with or did her elderly husband die?!

Tauriel kept rolling wishes to go to a ‘hotspot’, so I gave in and threw this lot into the town.

I don’t have much experience with clubs, but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to read in them.

But what do you do when half the people there become zombies??

Tauriel: Who cares about zombies when there’s free booze?

Tauriel: You mean to tell me that this could’ve been my job?

Well, yes. But you were athletic so… here we are.

The club closes and a half drunk Tauriel is kicked out. Still not satisfied, she proceeds to come home and dance some more.

Tauriel: Nothing to see here!

I was going to reference this to a movie by linking it to a five second clip… However the whole scene is utterly fantastic so I’m just going to share the whole thing and you can figure out which bit I meant.

Faramir: Sooo… mother, how was your night?

Tauriel: The game went pretty well, I thought.

Faramir: Not that. Grandma caught you dancing at 3am?

Tauriel: BUST A MOVE.

Faramir: How long do you think she’ll be doing this for?

Galadriel: Who knows? Ready for me to kick your butt?

Another night, a different club to try and get into!

This guy wasn’t exactly thrilled about it.

Luckily, you don’t have hundreds of ridiculous Dancing Tauriel screenshots this time round!

Tauriel: I have the best dance moves around here!

Stalking the school for potential love interests for Faramir (I’m still not happy with Christa), and I come across this thing… Child with a floating hairpiece!

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE.

BAD SIMS. BAD.

Technically, this is her LTW complete, right?

But apparently not, because she looks like this.

I’m still counting it.

WOOOOO, KILI!!

To celebrate, Tauriel goes out to the club again.

And proceeds to dance.

Pausing only to get off the bar and onto a table…

Then comes home and keeps going…

Enought of Faramir’s drunk mother, here’s Faramir himself! I sent him down to the gym for whatever reason, and he met this girl.

Her name is Kirsty.

Faramir really needs to roll irritable for his YA birthday… I swear everyone is in love with him or something, but it has never been this hard to find a spouse for an heir!

Christa: I don’t mind being the heir’s spouse…

Faramir: I’m sure you wouldn’t.

I guess she’ll do? D:

---

Except this is the guy she was crying over, so I guess it didn’t last!

So I guess Roger was the pink baby on the floor of the simself house!

At least she’s able to move on??

Samali’s doing well for herself.

Aww!

Wait, weren’t you just expecting a baby with that old dude?? And this guy has Boa’s hair!

But she just had a baby with another guy!? I guess he died?

This is what happens when don’t date half the neighbourhood!

Okay, even I have a decent job.

Why.

And Emily is doing really well!!

Cute name!

 

Animal/Patronus Award

Oh. My. Gosh.

I got nominated for the Spirit Animal Patronus Award by Sam(somebodysangel13) of the Rourke EPIC and Young BISBI!! Thank you, thank you!

I’ve seen this go round a few blogs that I read and fully did not expect to get one myself, but here we are! Fun Fact; I check my emails/wordpress when I wake up, but because of the dodgy wifi signal in my room I have to lean myself half out of bed to reach it. Seeing the notification for this made me pull my phone very quickly towards me (to check if I’d actually read it right), and me to move towards my phone.

Long story short; I fell out of bed.

But it was worth it!!

---

Spirit Animal Blog Award Acceptance Rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, and link back to their page.
2. Post the award picture on your blog (I’m aware of the spirit animal controversy regarding Native Americans – being that it’s their real practice and someone like me doesn’t have the same connection and therefore shouldn’t use the term. So I just used a picture of Harry’s Patronus instead, and named it after that as I’ve seen others do.)
3. Write a short paragraph about yourself and what your blog means to you.
4. If you could be any animal, what would it be?
5. Pick and notify ten nominees.

---

Me:

For somebody who talks as much as I do, I’m actually really terrible at talking about myself like this. So I’m just going to ramble for a bit and hope it makes sense.

I’m 19, turning 20 at the end of July. I have lived in Somerset, England for my whole life, but I have traveled a lot on family holidays and such. I’ve been simming for longer than I can remember, though I know I had a copy of ‘The Sims’ on PS2 when I was a kid. And I still have it, somewhere! I love reading, writing (I’m working on two books, though one is more for fun than the other), and gaming, though really all I play is TS3, Skyrim, Minecraft, Hearthstone, Stardew Valley, and a couple other little things on Steam. I reeeally want Overwatch, but it’s 6.5GB and there’s no way in hell my internet would let me download that! I’m also a singer and pianist, and an all round music lover. I’m seeing Busted live in just over a weeks time; my favourite band when I was a kid! Childhood dreams come true!

My Blog:

I really love the Evans, and seeing how far they’ve come from Hailey’s little one roomed shack. They’re the first Challenge I’ve ever played (though I’ve attempted too many regular legacies) and I’m really looking forward to seeing them through, as they’re really fun to write and a lot quieter than the Gordons! It means a lot to me that people read and like them too! Comments make my day, and getting stuff like this just blows my mind a little bit.

Animal:

If I could be any animal.. I’m always torn between three. I have this weird obsession with wanting to fly, so some kind of bird is a given. Cats are small and spend most of their life napping, so that’s appealing. But I think I’d probably have to say horse. Horses are super powerful and when you’re galloping fast across an open field it’s an awesome feeling! And jumping feels like flying, so there’s that too 😛 I think the flight thing is just a longing for freedom to do whatever I want; to ‘stretch my legs’ which I could definitely do as a horse!

Nominees:

Ten nominees, huh? I don’t actually have ten blogs to nominate, because I don’t follow that many and some have already been nominated/have the award! I only have three nominees, and two I know have already been nominated. I am trying to find more blogs, so I’m looking to other people’s nominations for new ones to read!

1. The Dysfunkshinul Legacy, aka the Langurds, by gryffindork7.
   One of my all time favourite legacies, and part of my inspiration to try again after all my failed attempts! Her screenshots are gorgeous, and her sims have such unique looks (loving that Langurd Jaw!) and great characterization. Not to mention, each chapter is hilarious and has me laughing out loud on many an occasion. I also have Boa to thank for Lyra! If you’re not reading this, you’re missing out.
2. Pixel Perfect and Pixel Perfect Redux by Kim!
   The first legacy I ever read, if I remember rightly. The first was TS3 and is completed (a feat I could only dream of achieving) and the second is in TS4, and I was so excited to hear the Pixels are back! This is also one of the first TS4 challenge I have read. I laughed a lot at these sims, and they’re gorgeous and well written too! The Pixels start in Sim Narrative but swap to observational somewhere in the fourth generation.
3. The Creepers by starlatrix!
   This poor legacy. I never actually got to read the first one, as I read through Gens 1&2 before being distracted by life. When I come back, all the pictures have vanished! But now it’s back with a secondary attempt.. and spent four chapters hunting down a spouse. I love how it’s written and how freaking pretty the sims are! Basically, I love to laugh and these three definitely do that!
4. Already Nominated – Scatterday Matriarchy by Emily Whalers
   Oh my god. The laughs, the crazies! This legacy always makes me smile, and I love all the names! I don’t really know what to say here, other than go read it and find out for yourself.
5. Already Nominated – Set Apart by Raymondsanti.
   This is a story-teller DITFT (differences in the family tree, and I don’t really understand so can’t explain it..), and it’s totally different from everything else I read. It’s SO well written and I love how everything is important, details tied together from the first chapter merge all the way down to the latest generation. Sometimes I catch myself trying to analyze why somebody was written doing one thing, and hoping somebody turned out to be somebody else (I won’t give anything away XD ). I usually only read observationals, but this is too good!

4.3 – Runaway

I’m back over here, too! I don’t think anybody reads just this blog, so I assume all of you read the other post on the Gordons. I mean, these guys are technically a ‘side blog’ or secondary challenge, but it doesn’t mean they deserve any less love – so here’s a new chapter! 😀

RECAP; Galadriel is very much alive and started working on her piano skill, Tauriel tried to burn the house down and then found out she was pregnant, Kili and Tauriel were adorable until she trod on his foot and broke it, baby Faramir was born and immediately dropped on the floor where he stayed until he became a toddler, Tauriel tried to ‘teach’ him things and spent most time heckling him, the simselves moved in, and Faramir became a child!

Have another title song!

---

I did some poking around, and realised that Tauriel is a faceclone of Galadriel, who is a faceclone of Sunshine. Faramir was shaping up to be, well, not a faceclone, but still ridiculously similar to Sunshine too, and given that she was generation two and this is generation five, I decided to reroll his face again.

He now has much more Kili in him, and Galadriel’s eye colour! The eye colour was total fluke, but I’m super pleased about it.

Faramir’s first wish is a child is to go fishing (five generations down the line, and people are still using Aaron’s pond :’) ), so he abandons the party to go do that.

I’m sure you’d all like to know which trait he rolled, but because I never write anything down, I don’t know.

Faramir: Mm, gonna catch me some sweet fishies.

Please, no.

Back inside the party, things are kicking off.

Sam: There are so many dirty dishes in this house! Don’t you guys ever clean?

Tauriel: Um, no?

AngelSam breaks out the Genius trait and heads straight for Galadriel’s science machine.

Sam: You barely had enough time to give us enough beds, I have to make do where I can.

True.

Faramir: The party get too much for you, too?

Kili: Books are quieter. I’m gonna chill with you.

OGIKTSBCRHNFTLOM*: Wait, you stalk potential love interests for your kids!?

Emily: No, no, not stalk but maybe follow… and check up on them…

*Oh God, I know that Sim but can’t remember her name for the life of me.

Kili: Haha, now it’s a double birthday!

Hey, Faramir gained a skill point in fishing.

Kili: Time to shine!

Faramir: Terrible pun, Dad.

Faramir: There were monsters under here, but the fact I need to pee cancels out all desire I have to run away.

Makes sense.

I also recoloured the whole kitchen in Tauriel’s favourite colour, because I could.

Kili: My eyes are burning.

Faramir: Are there monsters under this one?

Faramir: SHIT.

And because he was too terrified of his own bed, he had to go and sleep in the only available space. Next to his sports obsessed mother.

Kili: ..and the prawns go in a line on the second and seventh rows –

Faramir: They’re called ‘pawns’, Dad.

Kili: Yeah, those

Tauriel: There isn’t anything else we’re supposed to be worrying about, right?

Kili: How about how we’re managing to talk while kissing?

No, how about THIS!?

Old Lady and Small Child to the rescue!

Note; Child screams are terrifying.

We managed to.. uh, minimise the damage..

And Mrs Eight Skills begins making the stove fireproof.

I don’t why I didn’t think of this before.

Clearly, athleticism runs in the family.

Maybe I should make Athletics Galadriel’s tenth skill, if she makes it that long.

Faramir: Wait, no! I gave you life, how dare you get in my eyes!

Faramir isn’t doing too well in life right now…

The Simselves threw a costume party for Spooky Day, so I decided that Galadriel should be the one to go.

And she decided that this would be the bet outfit to wear.

Galadriel: I’m still young and gorgeous at heart, okay?

And then she walks in on this.

Livy: Can you hear that? The music… it’s everywhere.

Emily: Haha, I’m a hot dog!

Seeing my simself in a cheerleaders outfit is definitely appropriate for spooky day. I am the opposite of everything a cheerleader is supposed to be!

Galadriel: I know you need to pee, but I think first you should look at some pictures of my adorable darling grandson, Faramir!

Speaking of Faramir, here he is in all his Alien glory.

Galadriel: I think there’s something weird going on in this bathroom…

Emily: Could you move? I need to do some laps of the bathroom and then get reset.

With all the commotion in the bathroom, Sam isn’t able to get there in time.

Emily and Faramir will never forget this moment.

Galadriel: You okay back there, Faramir?

Faramir: Uh, Grandma.. I know you can’t see very well but I’m on my bike..

It was now that I got this pop up… 0 – 13!? How in the hell did Master Athlete Tauriel allow her team to get thrashed that badly!?

Oh, because their star player was at home in bed.

Being spooky day, some trick or treaters showed up!

There were more, but Precious here is the only one to get any attention, because she’s green, female, has purple/pink hair, and is called Precious.

Anyone?

Faramir: .. and that’s how his girlfriend turned into the moon!

Precious: That’s awful! Why would you tell me that?

Faramir: Okay, I’m back from the bathroom!

Galadriel: Now take your candy and go home, sweetie!

GALADRIEL NO!

Tauriel is still out searching for stars! So far she has found nine;

Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Molly, and the latest – Arthur.

Hey, Hailey!

Hailey: I did not pee myself, I just fell off the trampoline. I have no idea what that puddle is from.

… I didn’t say anything!

I also took this moment to do some landscaping on the little graveyard section! I didn’t want to make an underground mausoleum like the Gordons have, but I also didn’t really want to just have a line of graves.

Interestingly, the symbol on Aaron’s grave says that he died in a fire.

Kili is so close to making his cooking skill, so he’s making just about every recipe available to us and then filling the fridge full of delicious food.

Galadriel: Could you move? I need to get to that counter to clean it.

Kili: I’m using it to practise my cooking!

Faramir: You could come help me do my homework…

Ah, hello there, me! You’re looking a little undead today!

My simself is so much cuter than me, even as a zombie. How is this fair?

Livy: I can hear… zombie… You will be…

Kili: Tauriel…?

Kili: Tauriel!! Help me!!

*assorted screaming*

Faramir: Hmm, it sure is boring around here. Nothing exciting ever happens..

How about that zombie standing outside your window?

Also, while she was stood there I proceeded to get all of these popups.

For two of these, she couldn’t even show her face in the portrait panel!

Here’s a picture of Tauriel’s butt, for no other reason that it is a great butt.

Read; I can’t remember what this screenshot was supposed to be

Hold on, I’m having flashbacks to generation two…

Sunshine: I didn’t realise that my face had left such a big impression on this family! I know it’s a work of art, but you didn’t need to keep it around for another two generations!

Trust me, it wasn’t intentional.

I bought this sandbox back in the day for Tauriel to use as a child. She uses it far more as an adult than she ever did as a kid!

Galadriel has mastered the piano, and now moves on to her next challenge. DRUMS.

These two are still cute as heck, and I hate it.

Then everyone rushes off to work and leaves me with the mad scientist drummer.

Tauriel: Hey, it’s my birthday! Everybody cheer!

Faramir: Nah, I want dinner.

I don’t know who Faramir’s friend is… but he’s there!

She doesn’t look a whole lot different, except for a few lines and A MIDLIFE CRISIS.

I’m going to ignore it.

As any good simmer does, I’m stalking all of the children outside of the school.

I’ve taken woohooer out just to test whether or not that is the cause of my faceclone problems, so Faramir will be straight because I want biological kids. I’ll probably put the mod back in after I find out, I’d just like to know.

Also, my first case of Bimble Pox!

There’s also this cutie! I love her eyes and hair colour!

So I followed her home.

She lives at the furthest point from town possible, in this tiny shack! I feel a bit sorry for her, really.

Faramir: Thank you all for coming to my slumber party, but it’s time for me to age up instead!

Both Kili and Tauriel had the wish to see him become a genius, and so I locked that trait in. I think this might disqualify me from the ‘Roll The Dice’ mini challenge, though.

He’s a looker, even though he looks super creepy right now.

All these kids had turned up for a slumber party, which was cut short by Faramir’s terrible timing. Some of the girls only have a few days until aging up, so I’ll be keeping an eye on them!

I’m not creepy.

Kili: I can’t believe my son is already a teenager… He’s probably ‘too cool’ to come and live with me in this castle now, isn’t he?

Definitely.

This hot pink disaster woke up feeling rebellious and autonomously decided to prank the sofa. Oh dear.

To distract him from his rebellious urges (that sounds so wrong), I decided to send him out to the simselves house, because I discovered they all still live together!

Emily: Run, kid! Run while you can and never look back!

Faramir: Ooh, this looks great.

Sam: You shouldn’t come in here. Enter at your own risk and all that.

Faramir: Okay, now I’m worried…

….

NOPE.

I instead decided to check out the giant clusterfuck outside the school. It’s a snowday, and yet everybody turns up just to be sent home.

All of the cute ladies I could find were all pretty close to becoming a YA, except this one! Maybe we’ll see more of her next chapter?

I’m still leaning towards Precious, because of her name and the fact that, by some miracle, she’s exactly the same age as Faramir!

---

Updates from around town!

Told you!

He is old. You were only born a week ago!

More rewards for Galadriel!

Kili is now level 8 in his career… so close to his LTW!

*sigh* Why do simselves always go after crusty old men?

I mean, this one should be dead!

This would mean a lot more if I’d managed to grab screenshots of all the popups about him and some other girl, but because I didn’t know who they were I didn’t think they’d be important!

At least she has a decent name.

YAY KILI!!

Not yay my simself!

No, don’t move out of the simself house! D:

Another simself and a crusty old man… AngelSam, why!?

At least GryffinSam has good taste, even if it is my legacy spouse.

That’s because their star player wasn’t at home in bed this time!

More simselves upholding the tradition.

Mayra… Wha?

Another baby!?

Yes, because everyone knows that babies to unmarried parents are illegal ¬.¬ Just like poor Adrianna! And myself, actually..

4.2 – Musical Entertainment

RECAP; Tauriel took over, Kili got a job at the bistro, Tauriel got a job at the sports academy, Kili and Tauriel graduated and then got married, Kili maxed athletic, Galadriel maxed fishing and science, Galadriel cloned herself, Tauriel discovered stars and named them after the Weasleys, and Death tried to take Galadriel and was thwarted by the Death Flower (though I could’ve sworn she didn’t have one!)

---

Galadriel: I can now finally embrace my true talent! Gentle piano music.

Tauriel: I’M HELPING, MOTHER!

Galadriel: Hey, what’s that light forming in the distance? I don’t have my glasses on.

Why are my sims determined to burn down everything they own?

Galadriel: I don’t know how to use this this thing!

Tauriel: Ah, beautiful music after a beautiful promotion to level five.

Galadriel: I nearly wasn’t here to play you this beautiful music, because you nearly burned the house down.

Tauriel: Looks like my mother will get to see her grandchild after all.

Yay, Tauriel/Kili baby!

No need to look so tortured, Galadriel.

Is this safe? You have the future generation there, and you might set it on fire…

Tauriel: Aw, baby.

Nobody can get any peace in this house any more, at least one of the two is usually glued to an instrument.

Tauriel: Babies like music because of the rhythms and stuff!

Tauriel: Beat the drums. This is good practise.

I love this interaction, it’s adorable.

These two are too cute together, seriously.

Tauriel: Are you okay!?

Kili: I think my foot is broken..

Hey, there’s another random protest going on over the road! I wonder what it’s about this time?

Not time to find out though, because BABY!

Kili: Can I have a dragon instead?

Tauriel: Guys, please. It’s not that bad.

Tauriel: Okay, I lied! Come back!

Tauriel: Screw you guys.

Meet baby Faramir! He was born with the perceptive trait and one other I forget, and his favourite colour is hot pink!

Kili: So you’re my son… May you grow up as big and strong as your mother.

Good choice.

Galadriel: Can’t I play in peace? Please?

Aaron: Rock on, baby!

No.

Tauriel: Look how magically flat my stomach is after having a baby less than 24 hours ago!

Tauriel, that’s not how you cuddle a baby… Don’t force your nose into his face.

Kili: Why is the baby on the floor?

Tauriel: Woo, Faramir on the floor!

Poor Faramir is already being traumatised; he’s two days old and already witnessing his parents makeout sessions.

Faramir: Aren’t you staying for my birthday?

Kili: No,we have each other things to do.

So baby Faramir ages up into this hot pink mess, complete with Tauriel’s blue hair and most of her face.

He’s still super cute though.

❤

Tauriel: No it goes in this one, moron.

Tauriel: Congrats, genius.

Tauriel: Go, Faramir!

Yeah, I can’t blame you. I’d scream like that if she was my mother.

Tauriel: Let’s start with an easy one. Can you say ‘vegetables’.

Faramir: No.

Re-rolled face Faramir! I think he has Kili’s nose.

Galadriel: How do I open this strange contraption?

It’s called a door. You have five of them in your house.

Samali: I’ll let her in, don’t worry.

Apparently Galadriel showed up a bit late, because everybody had gone to ‘bed’.

But I want popups, damnit!

…. No.

Sam: I want to sleep.

Back at the homestead, Kili heartfarts the dead founder.

*facepalm*

Faramir: I’m cute, pay attention to me.

He is adorable!

Tauriel: Whoops, you’re so light I might accidentally throw you onto the roof!

Please don’t.

They’re actually super cute together, even though I pretend otherwise.

Faramir: Dada!

Kili: I have no children. I am level six in my career.

Faramir has unlocked the secret hidden difficulty level to the peg box; sitting in front of it!

Tauriel: Here, read this book with me.
In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

There are too many pointless pictures of baby Faramir, but he’s so cute I can’t help it.

Galadriel: So what can you see here?

Kili: I can see my pancakes burning 😦

Tauriel: What is it, is it dangerous?

Galadriel: It’s as I expected. You don’t have a brain.

Galadriel: Hit this one. For science.

Faramir: Science?

Kili acknowledges his son!

I think Faramir has his mouth and nose, but I could be wrong.

Galadriel: Hi, Emily, thanks for calling! Are your other housemates around? You know, the hot ones? Do they want to come to my grandson’s birthday party?

Tauriel: Pushing my husband on a swing was not how I envisioned my adult life.

Well more fool you.

It’s a party!

Samali starts by trying to put her food in the bin, and Kili and Emily decide to merge.

Galadriel begins to serenade the party guests, including the party crasher in the middle.

Tauriel and Faramir can’t get to the cake because there are too many people trying to eat at the table.

Sam is possessed by the music, and Livy is empty inside.

Tauriel: Guys, if you ever feel like tearing yourselves away from your old lady flirting, my son is trying to age up here.

Everybody except Kili remains oblivious.

And then everybody wanders off and leave Faramir alone to age up on the floor.

Such a great start in life for him!

I did reroll his face, but I think I’m going to do it again as he still looks 90% like Tauriel/Galadriel.

Faramir: I am a walking fashion disaster.

---

Faramir is the child of generation five, and I’m hoping to have some free time to play them soon! Work is trying to suffocate me with extra hours (I’m all about the money but I do like my free time) and the Gordons have gotten interesting again after their stale period of a couple months.

I’m excited to play through the PI career (even though that won’t be his LTW as it’s apparently stupidly hard to complete) as I’ve never tried it before! Blossom would have had it, but she’s probably going to be kicked out before I get chance to play it.

4.1 – Football

I keep trying to play the Gordons, but just opening the save exhausts me at the moment. I don’t know why, but I do know that it means more Evans!

RECAP; Pippin died, Tauriel and Galadriel took a family outing to the Summer Festival, I bought some kids toys, Tauriel became a teen, Kili became real, they started dating, Galadriel got old, Kili got arrested, Galadriel maxed cooking, prom happened, Tauriel maxed athletic and started learning logic, Galadriel started learning science and then maxed her career! Indoor plumbing!

---

Galadriel: I’m going to take my retirement pension and move to the Undying Lands.

Tauriel: Yes, I can inherit the house early!

Kili: Or you can just age up and inherit the house now.

Tauriel: Go away with your logic.

Tauriel: See, I’m so important that all the dead relatives have come to witness this moment!

Sunshine: I’m only here because I have nothing better to do.

*dead people cheering*

SERIOUSLY WHY AND HOW IS HE SO PRETTY I’M SO HAPPY I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

Tauriel: Guys, you could be a bit livelier.

Pippin: Ha ha, a dead joke.

Kili is stuck in sneak mode for some reason, though I can’t remember why. He probably got grounded and had to sneak out, that’s usually why it is.

IT’S HAILEY’S DRESS! I really wanted her to keep it, but it would not look good in bright yellow.

It’s a Galadriel clone, just with slightly puffier cheeks! I don’t really care because Galadriel is the best thing to ever exist.

Sunshine: You suck!

Tauriel: Have you seen me? I’m super buff.

Hailey: My legacy is in strong hands! *sniff*

Tauriel: Okay, you can leave now. I know I’m awesome, thanks for the fanfare.

Kili: Please sit down.

❤

Oh, he rolled Natural Cook as his final trait, so I took the LTW Celebrated 5* Chef.

This is Kili signing his life away to getting a job at the Bistro!

… Tauriel are you okay? Where did your face go?

She got one of Lucky or Handy for her final trait, I’m not sure which one she got for her teen birthday.

I’m so good at this.

She is doing the Superstar Athlete path of generation four! 😀

Childish sims are incredible.

Kili: Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Galadriel: It’s all in the name of science!

Galadriel: But not in the smell of science!

Tauriel has just become the first sim in this household to use a dishwasher!

Probably the last, too.

Because this is how dishes work.

The perfect EPIC couple… One is skilling, and the other thinking about skilling.

Graduation!

Obligatory diploma toss!

She graduated with merit, and somehow was NOT voted most likely to be a sports star, but something else I can’t remember.

Apparently they went in two waves, because Kili went in next and Tauriel went BACK in, wearing formal wear.

He graduated Class Valadectorian!

Romantic selfie!

…. Ah yes, the infamous dip kiss. Drop the person through your body and watch them as they fall.

Tauriel: Would you like to have the greatest honour of having me for a wife?

Kili: OF COURSE.

Kili: You know, I think this would be much better done in the time machine…

Tauriel & Kili: *cooing noises*

Galadriel: This is sickening. I’m going to bed.

AND TAURIEL MARRIES HER IMAGINARY FRIEND. BOOYAH POINTS FOR ME! 😀

We have a new fancy washing machine! And a dryer! Ultimate happiness.

Tauriel is still plugging away at the logic skill, discovering potions and the like. So far she’s also discovered four planets!

They’re named Fred, George, Bill, and Percy.

We’re now also part owners of the bookstore! Because, you know, with 200,000 simoleans we really needed the money.

LOOK AT THIS BLUEBERRY! LOOK HOW BUFF SHE IS.

LOOK AT MY BUFF BLUEBERRY!

Uh?

Pippin: It’s a perk of being dead.

You’re able to bypass the laws of physics and stuff and fish in a frozen pond? Because that makes complete sense!

The buff blueberry has fun in the snow!

Can you see all those snowmen in the background? It appears that the ghosts wake up and build them. I mean, at least they’re having some fun, right?

There is lot of this. Time passes really fast in these chapters just because 90% of the time this is all that’s happening.

And sometimes shit like this.

Kili: BOO!

Tauriel: Oh my heart!

Galadriel seemed obsessed with getting somebody to play catch with her, and she finally roped Kili in to joining her.

Note her delicate old lady throws?

And then Kili just throws the ball at her as hard as he possibly can.

Kili she’s an old lady!

Kili: I’m as buff as my wife.

Yes. Yes you are. Another skill maxed! The first for Kili, though.

Kili: After that hard work, I must take a break.

I really do love childish sims! Hopefully he can play here with his own child some day.

Galadriel: Can I get a turn now? I’m getting tired.

Kili: Hang on, I’ve almost got this.

We invested in a horseshoe court. I think I’m going to regret it.

Speaking of maxing skills, Galadriel just maxed the fishing skill!

WHICH MAKES HER SIXTH SKILL.

Today is love day, and Galadriel received a call asking if she’d like to go on a date.

I didn’t have the heart to say no.

Roy: Galadriel, you’ve aged beautifully.

Galadriel: I wish I could say the same about you…

Roy: Sorry? I didn’t have my hearing aid turned all the way up.

I’m not sure why I took this? Maybe to show that the buff blueberry literally does nothing except work out?

OH, she completed an athletic skill journal challenge thing! So it could be that, too.

Galadriel’s date didn’t go so well. She just played foosball by herself the whole time.

And guess who finally remembered that indoor plumbing was a thing we now had!?

I’m obviously not allowed more rooms are per the restriction, so I did a little half room to make the washing area! And Tauriel is just super jazzed about the lights.

Galadriel: So you only like guys, right?

Tauriel: Yep, I’m straight. Straight as a board. Straight as you!

Galadriel: I’m bi, honey.

Tauriel: Well you never told me that!

Galadriel: You never asked.

I asked them both for the laughs. Yay for Bi Galadriel 😀

Tauriel: So, hey, dead Great-Grandfather who doesn’t look dead! How are you?

Aaron: I was reunited with my wife in the afterlife, I’m very happy.

Generational bonding :’)

And then ErrorTrap reset him.

Like mother, like daughter! Leisure time reading, books all over the house. Neither one of you is even a bookworm!

Galadriel: I’m reading the adventures of some brave hobbits.

Tauriel: I’m not even in this book!

Tauriel really does make some super great faces.

This is her full everyday look, and I really love it! Any excuse to use the Lara Croft boots 😀

Though she’s a little violent with her throwing. I don’t think you’re supposed to phase your leg through your body like that, either.

Galadriel: So I just insert this sample of my DNA and let the cloning begin…

THERE’S A BABY IN THE TUBE!?

Galadriel: My experiment was a success!

I don’t know what I expected, I really don’t. But it wasn’t this, oh my god. Does this break a restriction? The baby isn’t related to anyone.

Galadriel: Well aren’t you just the sweetest thing, Eärwen.

Ironically named after the real Galadriel’s mother, I’m just too funny.

And she has Pippin’s hair colour!? I though she was supposed to be a clone?

I am 100% sure I didn’t change Galadriel’s hair colour, and I guessed her clone would be ginger too? Clearly not.

I panicked, rapidly aged Eärwen up to a YA and moved her out.

If I lined her and Tauriel up, how similar are they? Kinda sad my heir is a clone of her mother but CLONES NO MORE!

Somehow as she moved out she also spawned this car! She then also immediately got into a relationship with some old guy.

*sigh*

Promotions galore, they’re both level four.

Galadriel: Space is great.

Kili: Yay, space!

Tauriel: I’ve discovered four stars. I love space.

Tauriel: I’m going to find a new star. I should find all the new stars in the galaxy!

Tauriel: I will name him Charlie.

Galadriel: Can I have some of your DNA?

Tauriel: I have no idea what you’re talking about, but sure.

Tauriel: Where are you taking this from?

Kili: *is oblivous*

Galadriel: I have used my daughter’s DNA to learn everything there is to know about science, and to max my 7th skill.

IS THERE NOTHING THIS SIM CAN’T DO?

Aaah, my first gnome death! D: RIP, Percy.

Guys, I don’t think that’s entirely safe. Tauriel, I don’t think that’s the appropriate place for your elderly mother to sit.

The first, and only, thing Tauriel wanted to do at the Summer festival was to practise football.

And Galadriel tottered around the skating rink.

Kili: Bet you’ll never get a goal past me~e!

Kili: Fuck.

Tauriel: HAHAHA I WIN YOU LOSE.

Family portrait!

I did take one of just the two of them, and look how they’ve changed :’) Also the buff buddies kind of ruin it by being in their athletic clothes.

After forcing Tauriel away from the goals I get her onto the skating rink, where she is followed by a pair of empty skates.

Tauriel: They have feelings too, you know.

A lovely romantic spin between husband and wife…

Interrupted by the untimely death of her mother.

GALADRIEL NO! D:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I THOUGHT PIPPIN USED UP THE ONLY ONE?

I checked your inventory and you didn’t have one, you lied to me!

Galadriel: I was ready to leave this world, but now that I’m staying gives me chance to work on my real passions!

Which is…?

Galadriel: Music! I want to max more skills.

Just like her mother before her, Tauriel is spurred by the near-death of her mother to get down to some baby making in the hopes that Galadriel will get to see her grandchild.

Generation Five, here we come! 😀

3.3 – Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)

I’m all caught up in game now!

RECAP: Galadriel ignored her daughter, Tauriel became a child, there were lots of elven references, Galadriel and Roy got divorced, Kili became a half real IF thing, Bueller reference, and Sunshine died 😦

---

 

Why are there so many people dying in all my games at the moment!? Death had a field day over in the Gordons save, taking about eight people and now he’s over here too.

Pippin!!

Pippin: It’s about time, I’m not letting Grim have my wife!

Pippin: KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY SUNSHINE!

Grim: She’s too mean, I don’t want her anyway.

And now they only have each other 😥

Oh, and Pippin got an epic gravestone there… AND I FIXED MASTERCONTROLLER (I hope) SO;

Pippin (80):
Athletic 9
Cooking 9
Fishing 5
Gardening 8
Guitar 10
Skating 6
Trampoline 10

Sunshine (94):
Athletic 2
Cooking 5
Gardening 4
Painting 10
Skating 6
Trampoline 10

Tauriel: Death took my granddad!

Hailey: That’s also my son, and death isn’t all that bad, dear.

Tauriel: I could build my own castle and then everyone can live there with me.

Galadriel: Do you need a booster seat?

Tauriel: I can see fine, thank you!

I’m not sure if I really made them take a picture – given that it’s just the two of them wouldn’t that be kind of depressing!?

Tauriel: Woo yeah! You eat those hotdogs! YEEAHH!

Poor girl.

Galadriel: It’s the blood of my enemies!

You don’t have any enemies, you don’t leave the house enough for that.

Children vs Adults!

And half of them got bored of it and walked away so I don’t actually know who won. Boo 😦

With only two sims everything felt a little empty and sad, so I bought some kids toys!

Tauriel: I, your Captain, speak to you, the Mirkwood Elven Guard, to tell you we have a very important mission today.

Somebody has been spending too much time with her mother’s history books.

Poor Aaron… After the traumatic way in which he died, his ghost looks like this and can only hang around for a little while before ErrorTrap resets him.

I don’t know how to fix it, so I don’t think we’ll be seeing him very often.

They both start work and school at the same time, and Galadriel finishes at 1, so the house is now completely empty for four sim hours…

This is so weird!

Tauriel: They’re taking the hobbits to Isenguard!

Tauriel: Mother is paying attention to me!

Galadriel: The older you get, the less I have to look after you.

She rolled Handy! Time to get started on that Athletic skill!

Tauriel: You realise this is my third hairstyle, right?

Yes, and you’re also not Asian anymore and that is definitely your mother’s nose and mouth!

Her first wish was to get a partime job, so she now works in the bookstore!

Flirting with your Imaginary Friend, Tauriel?

The IF thing is just so creepy oh my gosh..

And he’s just thinking about science..

Great start!

Galadriel: What do you mean I’m supposed to come home? I have books to read!

We’re also now part owners of whichever business this is.. I think it’s Like Minded Individuals inc, the journalism and business rabbit hole!

Galadriel: I have a late birthday present for yo- what the hell are you wearing?

Tauriel: It’s my work uniform.

Galadriel: It’s ridiculous. Take the present.

Tauriel: Soo is this going to take a while because I’m a little tired…

Tauriel: Can I speed this up? Are you in there, Kili?

HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE WHAT THE HELL!?

So, this is Kili Evans. He is Athletic, Childish, Nurturing, and a Hopeless Romantic. He likes Indie music, Cheese Tofu Steak, and the colour Blue.

I am so happy with the way he turned out. The hair! 😀

So I put Sunshine’s easel into the family inventory and dragged out Aaron’s weight bench. I’m not allowed anything else until Tauriel maxes the sports career,

Kili is the first one on it.

He makes some great faces 😀

I literally cannot get over how well this IF turned out omg!

Galadriel: I can feel some kind of.. presence behind me.

Pippin: This is exactly the same as being alive, nobody seems to notice I’m around.

Except you can walk through walls! 😀

Kili also decided he wanted a job, so he can work with his girlfriend Tauriel!

Tauriel: I am such a good cook… This is so much fun.

Kili: Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady.

Tauriel: I’M GOING TO EAT THEM.

Couples that workout together stay together, right? 😉

Then Kili brings home this girl from school…

No you will not ruin my dreams!

Tauriel: So… I like you.

Kili: I like you too.

IF’s don’t do subtle.

Accepted!

Ew they’re all in love and gross and icky.

So cute.

Tauriel: If you drop me I will kick your ass.

Galadriel: I am suddenly blind and cannot see anything.

Tauriel: Let’s make it official.

I’m sorry, but Kili is so adorable!

I am sure that, while this whole family is insane, Tauriel doesn’t have the insane trait… Why is she working out in her formalwear?

Tauriel: It’s called Formal Working Out.

Pippin: Like formal speedwalking!

Galadriel: Do you want to teach me to cook or shall I learn the rest of it from this book?

Pippin: Nah, I’m good. Apparently I never maxed this skill anyway.

Family dinner!

Pippin: Except Galadriel’s ruining it by reading.

As opposed to yourself, being dead and all?

Kili: Do you know the answer to question four?

Tauriel: 42.

Kili: It’s not a num-

Tauriel: 42 is the answer to everything.

Kili: Is that all you’ve written?

She’s not doing so well in school.

First driving lesson, because this is a really safe car to teach a teenage to drive.

She never got her licence because they had to stop as Tauriel was too stressed, and I’m too lazy to make them go again.

Happy Birthday Galadriel!

Kili: *polite clapping*

So it turns out I don’t have her hair in elder form 😦 I just gave her the closest one I could find, but it does look a little weird without the curly bunches things.

Plus recoloured scientist labcoat!

Kili, you feeling okay?

Some skilling going on in the house, Galadriel is level eight I think and Tauriel is level five already!

Aaaand Kili gets arrested because he was off the home lot past curfew.

HE WAS RAKING LEAVES GIVE HIM A BREAK.

Nope, she was level nine because SHE HAS MAXED COOKING!

That’s five skills maxed. And like two days into elderhood.

Prom was a thing that happened!

Neither of them were prom royalty, and they spent the whole dance together and impressing each other with the chicken dance.

Kili: Help! I don’t want to explore the hole!

Kili: I WANT MY TEDDY!!

Kili: This isn’t much better!

Tauriel: Who’s ready to get buff!

Tauriel: I wanna see your gut, I wanna see your guts!

Kili: Maybe I should just chop my head off with these instead, then she’ll stop yelling.

This time it was Tauriel’s turn to bring somebody home from school…

Tauriel: Don’t worry, he’s not my type.

Your type are those that don’t exist.

So another random protest started outside on the lot opposite…

I sent Galadriel over for kicks, and she just started her protest by yelling at the wall.

Galadriel: Down with walls!

I had her try to lead an passionate speech, but it didn’t go that well… And why are they protesting jellyfish? Golden jellyfish?

Protesters: MORE SHINIES!

So this is horrible and adorable at the same time (I’m breaking a restriction but I had to); Roy rang up to talk to her…

ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY!?

More skilling… Even Sunshine is joining in with the athleticism!

Sunshine: That’s because you hid my easel.

She wanted to skip school, so I sent her to the gym so she could keep working on her athletic skill and not instantly be grounded by Galadriel!

Tauriel: What are those strange machines…?

Tauriel: I’m the best.

Yup, she maxed it! Remember when Lyra did it and I was all “I’ve never had a teen max a skill before!”? Yeah, this legacy kind of ruined that XD

Galadriel: How could you skip school!!

Tauriel: Chill, I maxed a skill!

*silently cursing each other*

They then went ice skating together…

And this happened. The plumbob is Tauriel.

I have no idea what’s going on.

Poor Tauriel seems to have lost it, she’s now doing her homework in the snow, while wearing her swimwear…

Galadriel: No no, you’re going about it all wrong. You’re supposed to move the pawns first.

Tauriel: Prawns?

Galadriel: Why did you want to learn the logic skill…?

It’s winter so Galadriel can’t work on her fishing, so I bought the science station so she still had something to work on… right next to a picture of herself as a baby!

Tauriel: Look, I’m trying to be smarter okay? If I’m going to run this house in a week, I’m going to need a brain.

Are you okay there, Fiyero?

because he’s the scarecrow and doesnt have a brain?

Galadriel: I can’t believe we finally got the telescope I’ve been wishing for since I was a teenager!

Shush.

LOOK WHO TOPPED HER CAREER!

OH YES.

GALADRIEL IS FINALLY RECOGNISED AS A MAD SCIENTIST!

I think this was her celebratory dance.

She earned us INDOOR PLUMBING!

And this is her work outfit, oh my god.
