To celebrate, I bought her the computer for which she had been clamoring. Her fun levels were dangerously low, so I let her play some games. Hey, all work and no fun makes Zoey a grumpy girl. And grumpy girls don’t get promotions!
All too quickly, her birthday came along. She was dog tired, having just worked out at the gym, but she hooted and hollered for herself all the same.
Zoey, now a mature adult, was promoted to traffic cop the next day. She had only 6 days until her transition to elder. Her wishes were to get a raise, reach level 5 of the law enforcement career, and reach the next logic level. If left to her own devices, she would most certainly have worked till she died and never had a family. Which is a perfectly acceptable way of living (I myself am a happy single woman with no desire to have kids). But…being the controlling dictator that I am, I insisted that she get married and have a kid so I could continue playing her family for many generations. But I’m not that controlling, because she did have one social wish…to hang out with Christopher. Your wish is my command, dear Zoey!
She invited Christopher over to her humble lack-of-abode. He told her she had a Beautiful Vista. She told him he was a Beautiful Vista.
Then he played chess while she brushed her teeth. Hey, she needed that Minty Breath moodlet. She needed all the help she could get. She had to get pregnant PRONTO.
After some perfunctory chatting, they got down with their bad selves. It’s the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy!
This time he let her kiss him. Must have been the minty fresh breath. Never underestimate the power of toothpaste!
After the kiss, she asked him to go steady. He said “yes”. Then she figured, “Well, what the heck, why not go all the way?” and asked him to marry her. I love the over-the-top expression on Christopher’s face.
They tied the knot right then and there and made googly eyes at each other. Hey my little simulated people, there’s no time for dawdling. Go make baby NOW.
It was then that I realized that Christopher Steel was now…Christopher Lloyd. Hahaha. Run for it, Marty!
(to be continued)
That was the best!!! Too funny! I like how she “collected” a man, ha ha! And all of your funny lines. Christopher Lloyd, ha ha ha ha! And the town trying to run them over, basically all of your witty captions! I think you’ve finally found the family you should be playing with! :-)
Zoey is so cute! She looks like she’s a lot of fun to play.
LOL I’m glad she kept the military man. he’s cute!
woot grats on the promotion but erm… no kiss? really? *pokes Christopher*
omg no! Christopher Lloyd?! *laughs hysterically*
welcome to the family Christopher! now go make pretty babies!
I can’t stop singing that song now, Jen! The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company B. Unfortunately for our neighbours, I’m a lousy singer. My ma used to have the Bette Midler record with that song on it when I was a little kid! Great update, though, it certainly made me laugh.
I am having a lot of fun with the game myself, though, a lot more fun than I ever head with the other two, strangely enough, and I’m not sure why yet ;)
Also, I’m more inclined to think Uncle Fester rather than Doc.
“Kaylynn thinks, “Wow, cleaning up after other people looks like fun! I think I’ll do it for the rest of my life!—
I laughed so much at that!
This was excellent and I’m contemplating trying that mod now. I haven’t patched yet, so I’d need to do that first. That’s the only thing holding me back!
HAHAHA, so good! I loved the Kaylynn caption, that cracked me up! TS3 looks like so much fun, I can’t wait to get it. Keep playing this family, it’s really good!!
Honestly, is that little black-and-white-dressed girl really Kaylynn??? Haha ;) – that was too great! And I also collected a man sometime and kept him for myself.
Jen, one of the funniest entries you’ve ever posted, really! Thumbs up!
*rolls on the floor laughing her a$$ off about the “Christopher Lloyd – “Run for it, Marty!” bit*
*cackles like a mad scientist*
*wipes away tears of mirth*
Good stuff, jenba! I’m glad you’re having fun with this “super fast” legacy of yours. I’m curious to see how you manage to keep the family going when adult to elder = 6 days. O__o It’s one thing if the heir is male … but women have a finite childbearing lifetime. :O))
*thumbs up*
Oh wow I’ve never tried the shortest lifespan but seems like her life is flying by at lightning speed! Haha, this entry was awesome, can’t wait to read the next one!
I’ll have to take a peek at this mod, see what it’s all about. Are you enjoying it more than AwesomeMod so far? But I can’t believe you’re doing this on the shortest life span possible! *faints*
She started with only 4 days as a YA? *boggles*
You’ve got Zoey throwing out perfectly good, uncooked hot dogs? *tsks* Neat freaks are fun though. *giggles* Poor Kaylynn, she’ll be the town maid for ever and a day now. *shakes her head* The young are so impressionable!
Glad working from the library counted as working from home. *grins* But goodness, she really is an overachiever!
Collecting is so neat! And woot! Now THAT is quite a collection find! Especially with those blue eyes. *fans herself* Ah, that’s why he looked so familiary! (I never saw him in a military uniform in my game.) Christopher is such a sweetie. *melts*
*tsks* They really should get out of the middle of the street. That’s too dangerous! Ooo, rejected kisses really hurt a blossoming relationship. :-(
I hope they earn work-status faster in the shorter life-spans than they do in the longer ones, but yeah, I’ll be shocked if she becomes a DNA profiler in her life. Especially since she’ll HAVE to take time off for maternity leave. (I tried making Shiarra Diobhell go to work after one of her babies was born, but no dice. I don’t like that you can’t choose who stays home, either.)
SIX DAYS until Elder, right after her birthday? YIKES! Okay, yeah, I am never ever EVER going to play on the shortest lifespan!
Hehe, congrats on your first kiss, Zoey! *cheers* Wow, and congrats on getting engaged so fast! Talk about a whirlwind romance. *grins* But congrats on getting a husband and working on making babies. ;-)
